A List View displays a list of records. You can get to a List View by clicking any object in your application Workspace.

About the List View

The List or grid is the most common kind of multiple-record view, but there are other kinds of views as well. For example: Tree, Thumbnail, and Calendar displays. (Learn more: Views.)

In a List View, records are displayed in a grid, like a spreadsheet. At the top of the view, under the action buttons, a view control bar gives you many ways to control your view of the data:

Sorting a List View

List Views can be sorted by clicking on a column heading. You can then choose between an Ascending and Descending sort.

Viewing and Editing Records

List Views contain these icons:
