List Pages

A List page is the first place an end-user should go to search and act on information. It is optimized to view and search through a list of records.

The components of a list page are as follows:

**Grid:  **displays a list of records. It displays only a few of the most important fields for each record.

**Filter pane:  ** used to enter search criteria. This filters the list in the grid to show only the records an end-user is interested in. The filter pane contains the quick filter bar and buttons for advanced filters.

**Preview pane:  **displays more fields about the selected record. This helps to make sure that you have selected the correct record in your search.

FactBox pane: displays more information about the selected record from related tables.

**Action pane:  **contains menu items that let you do typical tasks related to the selected record.
