About watchlists

• Individuals: There is a First name and Last name match, First name and Last name alias match, or Email address match.
• Companies: There is a Company name, company domain, or email address domain match.

An Individuals watchlist is used to monitor visitor check-ins for persons of interest listed in a watchlist and then take action as specified in the watchlist configuration. For example, you might create an individuals watchlist to automatically block visitors listed in a watchlist and notify watchlist managers. For other situations, you might only notify watchlist managers. You might also create an individuals watchlist to notify all watchlist managers when VIPs check-in at your site.

A Companies watchlist is used to monitor visitor check-ins for companies of interest listed in a watchlist and then take action as specified in the watchlist configuration. For example, you might create a companies watchlist to automatically block access  for people with a Company name, company domain, or email address domain that matches specific companies of interest listed in this watchlist.

Note: The Individuals or Companies listed in the entries inside a watchlist can be entered individually or imported as a whole using a .CSV file.
