When you click the Watch Lists tab for the very first time, a message displays stating that you have not created any shared lists. Once you create a list, it is added to a drop-down menu that includes all of your company�s public lists.
Important Note: To create a list, you must register as a unique user. This allows the system to keep track of your individual searches and lists. IHS does not sell or rent online user information to other companies and you will not receive unwanted "spam" as a result of completing this registration form. For more information, please read the IHS Privacy Policy.
Creating a new list can be done by using the Create New List link.

Click the Create New List link.
In the New List Name section of the page, enter a name for your list, such as Project XYZ.
The List Sharing section of the page allows you to set modification/editing and viewing rights for your lists.
For List Sharing > List Modification, the modification rights default is set to Only selected users. This option gives list editing rights to those users you select and allows those users to add, delete, or update documents on the list. By default, you are given permission to modify your list.

Click the check box next to registered individuals within your company that will be allowed to view the list, and then click the OK button.

Enter the email address for the individual that will receive email alerts, and then click Add.
Click the Remove link to delete an email address.
