Watch lists enable you and others to subscribe to notifications of a task.

## Before you begin

Role required: none

## Procedure

1. Navigate to a record that you want to add watchers to.  
   Note:  
   Not all records have watch lists. If you're unable to see a watch list, you may need to [adjust your form view](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=view-management-overview&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-user-interface&ft:locale=en-US) or ask your administrator to update the form to add a watch list.
2. Expand the watch list by selecting the lock icon ( ![lock icon]()).
3. Select users with the list controls (see table).
