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.
List types
| Type | Who sees it |
|---|---|
| Private | Only you |
| Company-wide | Everyone in your company |
| Group | People you invite (invitations can be accepted or declined) |
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.
