How do I receive tender announcements by e-mail related to the sectors and sub-sectors of my choice?
The main purpose of Create/Edit my sector list & Subscribe/Unsubscribe to tenders e-mail list is to allow you to choose the Sectors and Sub-Sectors you are interested in, and then you get automatic e-mails for every sector related to the last batch of tender announcements entered.
In more detail: In the search page of Tender Announcements, you need to click first on Create/Edit my sector list. You will get a list of all Sectors to choose from. If you choose one Sector, you get a list of Sub-Sectors with the option to check one, multiple, or All Sub-Sectors. Please note that after you choose, you need to click on Update My List.
If you need to choose more than one sector, please repeat the procedure.
At the end, click on Subscribe/Unsubscribe to tenders e-mail list.

What is the purpose of putting a check mark in the field called Use My Sector List located in the search page of Tender Announcements?
If you put a check mark in Use My Sectors List, it will disable the Beneficiary Sector and Sub-Sector located just above it because they are already chosen in Create/Edit my sectors list. As a result, you can browse tenders without choosing Sectors and Sub-Sectors again.
A little hint, please note that if you put a check mark in Use My Sectors List, and choose Last Batch, this is what you will receive by e-mail.

What if I need to change Sectors and Sub-Sectors in Create/Edit my sector list?
