The Watchlist is a feature designed to help you efficiently manage your projects by saving them so that you can easily find them in one place. You'll automatically receive critical updates, so there's no need to manually monitor projects.

Adding projects to the Watchlist

Adding projects to your Watchlist is simple. You can mark projects as 'Interested', 'Quoting', 'Not Interested' or 'Quoted' on the slider. Alternatively, you can add to your Watchlist directly next to the project name on the noticeboard.

Benefits of using the Watchlist

The Watchlist allows you to easily monitor multiple projects, keeping them organised and accessible. It helps you stay informed about significant project updates, such as changes in tender phases, quote due dates, and builders' success status.

Using the Watchlist to keep track of projects

You can update the Watchlist status at any time to help you keep track of project progress. You might flag it as 'Interested', and then update to 'Quoting' or 'Quoted' as you move through your workflow.

How to view your Watchlist projects on the Tender Noticeboard

The Tender Noticeboard has a filter for ‘Interest Level’. Change this in the dropdown menu to view just the projects you have added to your Watchlist. Please note that choosing ‘Unactioned’ will show all projects that you haven’t added to your Watchlist, and clearing the filter will show all projects, including those on your Watchlist.

Watchlist visibility

Your Watchlist activity is visible to you and your team only and is for internal tracking purposes for your business. Builders are not alerted about your Watchlist activity. To let the builder know you are interested in a project, you will need to download or view the project documents, or you can contact the head estimator directly.

Assigning projects to another team member on the Watchlist

You can assign a project to another team member’s Watchlist, once assigned, they will receive any Watchlist update emails. To assign a project, head to the Watchlist tab, and choose a team member from the Team Member dropdown menu.

Note that the ability to assign a project is not available in the Recently Awarded Tenders section of the Watchlist.

How to view projects in someone else’s Watchlist

Your entire team can stay in the loop by accessing the Watchlist. This feature promotes team visibility and collaboration, ensuring everyone is up to date on project progress.

To view all projects tracked by your team or specific individuals, use the 'Filter by User' dropdown on the Watchlist tab. This feature offers a clear overview of each team member's tracked projects.

How to customise Watchlist emails

You can adjust the frequency of Watchlist update emails In the Settings tab. Choose between daily or weekly notifications and select alerts for your assigned projects or those followed by your entire team.
