What are lists and filters?

Lists are a static group of specific companies. The companies on a list won't change unless you make a manual edit.

Filters are dynamic attributes of a particular search. The company results from a saved filter may change over time, depending on if they meet the criteria.

Create a saved list or filter

  1. To create a list, click on the checkbox next to a company or companies to add to the list. A box will appear at the bottom of the screen with the number of items you selected and additional prompts.
  2. Click New List. Insert the name and description of the list you would like to create.
  3. Click Save List.
