A list displays a set of records from a table.

Watch the video above for an in-depth introduction to list functionality.

Note: This content pertains to the Classic Environment, which refers to working in lists of records and on record forms directly, not in the Configurable Workspace interface. You can work in the Classic Environment with Next Experience active, or with it inactive, which is referred to as Core UI, (formerly known as UI16).

Users can search, sort, filter, and edit data in lists. Lists may be embedded in forms and may be hierarchical (have sublists).

The list interface consists of a title bar, filters and breadcrumbs, columns of data, and a footer. Each column in a list corresponds to a field on the table.

A Response time indicator (Response time indicator) may appear at the bottom right of some lists to indicate the processing time required to display the list.

Hierarchical lists

Hierarchical lists allow users to view records from related lists directly without navigating to a form.

Lists can have sublists in a hierarchy that can also be accessed in list view. To expand or collapse the related lists on a record in a hierarchical list, click the arrow (Arrow) beside the reference icon.

Administrators can enable hierarchical lists for a table. For more information, see Enable a hierarchical list .

Detail rows

Detail rows, when enabled, appear below the field row for each record and display the value of a specified field. For example, the detail row might display the short description for each incident in a list. Detail rows support the same functionality as fields, including links, editing capabilities, and access to the context menu.

Note: When a field is designated as the source for the list detail rows, the system hides the list column for that field.
