Uploading a Watchlist to CA Web

CA Web provides you with a helpful tool to upload lists of securities in order to perform simple searches and/or a very specific, advanced search on specific CUSIPs.

Once you have compiled a list of securities that you wish to specifically inquire about, you can upload this list to CA Web. You can upload a maximum of 20 watchlists.

  1. On the menu bar, hover your mouse over Announcements and click Watchlist.



    This brings you to the Watchlist page.

  2. Enter a name for this watchlist in the Description field.



  3. Click Browse to select a file for upload.

    Note: Prior to uploading a watchlist, you must have already created a watchlist document based on the Watchlist Parameters.

  4. Click Upload.

    Note: You can choose a new file instead by clicking Reset or cancel the upload by clicking Cancel.

    Once you have successfully uploaded a watchlist, a confirmation message appears at the bottom of the Watchlist page.



Note: It is important to verify that the number of securities uploaded on your file matches the number of securities uploaded.

Viewing and Exporting Watchlists

You can view a watchlist once it has been added to CA Web.

  1. On the menu bar, hover your mouse over Announcements and click Watchlist.



    This brings you to the Watchlist List page.

  2. Click the name of the watchlist you want to open.



    The Upload page opens for that watchlist.

  3. Click the here link to open the spreadsheet.



    Excel opens and displays your exported spreadsheet.



    Note: The column heading Security ID is generated systemically. This column heading does not need to be added during the initial upload of securities.

Finding Watchlist Results

After a watchlist has been uploaded, you can begin to perform searches on the securities within this watchlist to inquire about any Corporate Actions events concerning them that have been announced.

  1. On the menu bar, hover your mouse over Announcements and click Event Search.




    The Event Search page appears.



    Notes:

  1. In the Limit to section, select a watchlist to use for your search.



    Note: All of your saved watchlists will appear in the Watchlist drop-down menu. You can only search by one watchlist at a time.
    If you want to limit your search further, use the checkboxes below the watchlist drop-down menu.

  2. Click Search.

Your search results will contain matching items from your watchlist. If there are no matching items, a message appears at the top of the search page.
