Create a watchlist

Create a watchlist so that you can receive the latest updates for the people or topics that you are interested in.


Create a watchlist is an easy way to follow the topics or people that interest you. When you set up a watchlist, updates are sent directly to your Home page whenever any information related to the tags or people on your list is added or changed. All you need to do is check the Watchlist tab to see the latest updates.

You can add people to your watchlist without adding them to your network. For example, if you know of someone in your organization who shares your interests and expertise, and you want to follow their activities in IBM Lotus Connections, you can add that person to your watchlist. You can then see all the news stories that are public for that person, for example, their latest blog entries, the bookmarks that they have added, the people they have tagged, and their contributions to public communities.

You can also add tags to your watchlist, allowing you to see all the news stories related to those tags that are public. This includes news stories from all the features, not just Bookmarks. Any tags added to your watchlist in Bookmarks are automatically added to your watchlist in Home page.

To create a watchlist...

  1. From the Updates tab, select Watchlist.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • To add a tag to your watchlist:

      1. Enter the tag you want to follow in the Find and add more tags field.

      2. Click Add.

    • To add a person to your watchlist:

      1. Enter a name in the Find and add more people field. Type-ahead predicts the name that you are typing by comparing it to names in the that your administrator specified. If it proposes the name that you want, click to select it.

      2. Click Add.

      Adding a person to your watchlist does not add that person to your network.
