Watchlist

A Watchlist folder is a Public or Private folder that has an alert profile assigned.

Watchlist Limits

The Supplier Folders page displays Watchlist Limits at the top of the screen which are metered based on your company contract with D&B. The counts displayed represent unique D-U-N-S Numbers included in folders with attached alert profiles. If one D-U-N-S Number has been added to five separate folders, it will only be counted as one in the watchlist limits. Subscription watchlist limits are based on a combined usage across your company. Contact your administrator if you are close to your limits.

The red and green colors signal if you are approaching watchlist limits based on your subscription. Yellow indicates you are close to the limit and may need to contact your D&B Account Representative to increase your Watchlist Limits. The number of monitored records available is listed to the right of the bar graph. The number of suppliers you are currently monitoring are listed within the colored bar graph.

NOTE: If you receive an error message when you try to add a supplier to a watchlist, you have reached your limit. In order to add additional suppliers you will need to delete some first.

Tracking of Domestic Watchlist Counts

The definition of what Domestic and International watchlists will depend on the country of the subscriber.

For example, a subscriber in Belgium will see watchlist suppliers from Belgium and Luxembourg counted against the Domestic watchlist count and the rest of the world tracked on the International watchlist count.

Best Practices for Updating Supplier Profiles

The best practice for getting the latest and most robust supplier profiles is to add the supplier to one of your watchlist folders. The availability of the update button on the supplier profile page is dependent on the subscriber market.

NOTE: The update button is not active if the file has been updated within the last two days.

To get the latest profile for US and Canada, add to watchlist folder or click on the update button. For all other market, users should add suppliers to their watchlist folder to get the latest profile.
