Watch List

Admin users can create and maintain a Watch List which runs against employee personal trading data. Any trade requests matching the Watch List will be flagged to all Admin users. No automatic action will be applied to the matching request. If you'd like to automatically deny the request, the security should be added to the Restricted List instead. For more details, click here.

Before creating the list, choose user visibility by navigating to the "Settings" page and choosing the "Company" tab.

By default, the list will be set to not allow users to view the Watch List. To allow users to view watched securities, toggle the button toward the right.

Users can also be notified by email of changes made to the Watch List by navigating to the "Notifications" tab of the settings and toggling the "Notify users of changes to watch list" button to the right. The changes to the list will be sent in a digest after navigating away from the securities page in gVue, or after 5 minutes of remaining on the page. 

To create a list, navigate to "My Company" and select "Manage Securities".

From the Watch List page, the name of the list can be updated by clicking the pencil icon next to the "Watch List" title. 

The notification settings can be updated using the toggle in the right corner. A reminder email can be sent to all users listing the securities actively on the watch list by clicking "Send Reminder". Reminders can also be scheduled to go out automatically by selecting one of the dropdown options. Reminders can go out Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Monthly, or Quarterly. When an option is selected the date for the next scheduled reminder will be listed.

 

A specific security can be searched for using the textbox. The list can also be filtered by Active status or date range.

You have the option to import a list of securities. Click on the blue "Import Securities" to begin and a pop-up screen will appear.

Choose one of the two options from "Upload Type." Hover over the "?" icon to see what each option means.

Next, you will need to click on the blue "Download Import Template" button to download the proper template for importing securities. An XLSX file will download to your computer. You will see the column headers for the spreadsheet below. Enter in the specific information for each security and be sure to choose an option in the dropdown for "Show Reason." This will either allow users to view the reason the security has been added or will it keep it private to just admins. You can also add in information if the watched security has been removed from the list or is scheduled to be removed on a specific date in the future.

Once you have added all of the desired securities, save the spreadsheet to your computer. You will need to click on "Choose File" and find the saved spreadsheet in your files. After uploading the sheet, you will need to click the blue "Submit" button.

To manually add an individual security to the list, click the + icon.

Choose the type (security or cryptocurrency), search for the security symbol and select it. The security name will automatically be listed when a symbol is chosen. If the symbol is not associated with a security name; you may add the security name. Please note that "Reason Added" is a required field and the security will not be added if the field is not completed. The reason added can be public or private by using the "Show Reason" checkbox. Clicking the show reason checkbox allows users to see the reason added when viewing the watch list. To have the security automatically removed from the watch list on a certain date, enter the date in the "Remove Security Date" field. You may also click on a specific user group within gVue that the security applies to.

Reminder emails can be sent to admin(s) when a security has been on the watch list for a set amount of time. These reminders can be sent every 7,30, 45, 60, or 90 days or you can choose a specific date the reminder is sent by selecting Custom. Admin reminders can be set for each individual security added to the watch list.

After clicking the "Add" button, the security will appear on the list. When viewing the securities on the Watch List, you can sort by date added and date removed by clicking the arrows next to the respective column title.

To edit components of the security, select the blue pencil icon. 

To remove a security, select the blue "X" and provide a reason for removal. The removal reason can be public or private with the "Show Reason" checkbox. 

The date removed and reason will display once the security is successfully removed.

Securities can be moved from the watch list to the restricted list, or vice versa, by clicking the arrows icon. A pop-up message will appear to confirm the switch. The reason added/removed will automatically be entered to reflect the change. 

Securities can also be added to the watch list based on sector or market cap. To learn more about watching sectors and market cap, click here.
