Customize Watch List Views For Quick Access

As you configure Elector for your upcoming election broadcast, you can set up personal or public riding watch lists. It can be helpful to think of a watchlist as just a group of ridings. On election day, as you review election results, you can filter results by these watch lists to track the ridings that matter most. You can flag ridings that are important to you by creating your own Personal Watch List in Flow called My Watchlist. Manage your watch list at any time before or during the election broadcast, anywhere you see the Watch options.

You can create as many watchlists as you want. You can build watchlists based on geographical groups of ridings or political lines or any arbitrary method you wish.

To set up watch lists, from the Home page use one of these options.

click or select from Results > Riding Summary
click or select from Content Management > Manage Ridings.

Manage Watchlist Groups

Admin users can create and manage a hierarchical set of watchlist groups.

If a watchlist group is made private then only the user who created it will see it in their list.
