The List

Once created,

  • the list will have a dark border around it.

  • There will be down-pointing arrows beside each field name that open drop down menus when clicked on.

  • The drop down menus contain options for sorting the list by any of the field names and for searching the list for records that match certain criteria.

  • A blank row containing an asterisk is added to the bottom of the list. Additional data can be added to the list using this new row.
