Watchlists

Collect references and companies in personal or shared lists, annotate them, and share them internally or publicly.

Watchlists (Merklisten) are collections of references and companies — for research, shortlists, bid preparation, or curated portfolios to share. Look for the bookmark/marker button on reference and company pages and on every result card.

Managing lists

Watchlists (/my/marker-lists) shows all your lists as cards with type icon, owner, counts, and a thumbnail preview. Create as many lists as you like; filter and sort (name, last used, entry count) when the collection grows. Pending invitations to shared lists appear at the top.

Working inside a list

A list's detail page offers:

  • Two sections — References and Companies — with drag & drop reordering
  • A note per entry: your commentary ("shortlisted for RFP X", "call back in Q3") — notes can be included in exports
  • Multi-select with bulk actions: move/copy to another list, compare, remove
  • Print and Excel export of the list or a selection
  • A persistent my lists sidebar — drag entries onto another list to move them

Sharing

Two sharing modes, from the list header:

  • Internal share — copies a members-only deep link (for company and group lists).
  • Public share — copies a read-only public link (/merkliste/{id}). Anyone with the link — no account needed — sees the list name, description, and only the publicly released references on it. Non-public entries stay invisible.

Public watchlists are a lightweight way to send a curated selection of your own references to a prospect — assemble, annotate internally, share the link.

Watchlists as a working tool

  • The bulk action Add to watchlist in the Reference Manager and search fills lists quickly.
  • Your current watchlist is one click away on the dashboard.
  • Watchlist notes can be shown in exports — useful for annotated catalogs.
