Customizing your Settings & Alerts is the key to getting only the essential intelligence that matters most to you, when you want it. Here you'll learn how to adjust your preferences, stay up to date with trends and opportunities via Watch Lists, and set up email alerts for the market updates you need to know about right away.
From the My Capital IQ tab, select 'Settings' from the first column to adjust the settings in your account.
Here you can change your password, geographic region, currency, hot keys, formatting preferences, and more.
Watch Lists are your way to group your custom selection of entities that you want to analyze or monitor closely. You can leverage your Watch List as a filter in various areas of the S&P Capital IQ platform, so this is an important step in being able to zero in on the essential intelligence that matters most to you throughout the platform.
To get started creating a new Watch List, go to the My Capital IQ tab and select 'Create,' which is the last option on the first column.
You will first be asked to name the Watch List you are about to create.
You can add entities to your Watch List in 3 different ways:
Once done, click 'Save.' Your Watch List will take up to 15 minutes to be created, depending on how many items you have saved. You can view and edit your Watch List any time by clicking on My Capital IQ and Watch Lists.
From the My Capital IQ tab, select 'Create Alert' under Alerts in the second column.
Give your Alert a name and select a subject for the notifications you will receive about it.
The next step is to choose how often you want to receive the Alerts (real time or grouped at a convenient time for you) and the format (text or html). You can add any other email recipients with whom you wish to share this alert.
To designate the content for your new alert, you can either add a Watch List you have previously created, copy and paste specific Companies, Geographies, Indices, Industries, Instruments, etc., or, alternatively, Select Type and Filter options.
Click 'Save' to save your changes and your alert.
