About watchlists
In Genetec ClearID™, watchlists are used to screen visitors at an individual or company level. You can configure the watchlist to perform allow, block, or notify actions at a site or global level.

- 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.

- Companies watchlist
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.

Watchlist behavior
