Documenting House Watches As An Employee
This article explains how employees document their actions taken on a House Watch.
Documenting House Watch activity is normally a historical process, completed after the House Watch concludes. You DO NOT have to start and end a House Watch at the exact times of initiation and completion.
From the main navigation system, click NEW => House Watch.
This takes you to the list of your agency's active House Watches.
Entries in orange are recently expired.
From this page you can view the details of the House Watch (with proper permissions), View a map of its location, and Document your House Watch Activity.
If you have the proper permissions, you will see a View button at the far right of the row.
Click View to view the historical details of this House Watch.
To view a map of the location, click the Map icon for that House Watch.
Clicking the map icon opens a modal with a google map of that specific location.
To start a House Watch click on the Start House Watch button for the specific House Watch.
This brings up the House Watch form where you document your activity.

- Enter the quantity of activity
- Entry data into your specific agency custom fields (if any exist)
- Enter a narrative (some House Watch subject types require a narrative. If you see * Required, then a narrative is required to complete the form)
