Lists

Many pages on the site display a list or table of data rows. For example, on the People page, members of the site are displayed with columns for first name, last name, email, etc. The lists on the site share many features in common:

• each row contains one item of the type shown in the list, e.g. documents
• there may be a header above the list that shows the number of items in the list and their type. there may also be some buttons in the header for filtering (narrowing) the list, printing the list, changing the columns that are displayed, etc.
• there may be buttons on the right side of the row that can be used view, edit, and/or delete the row. If one or more of these buttons is not present, that means that you don't have access to perform that action. For example, usually a document can only be editing or deleted by the person who created it.
• there may be an add button above the list on the right side if you are allowed to add rows to the list.
• there may be dropdowns above the list where you can select to only view certain rows, e.g. documents of a particular type or documents for a particular group.
• some lists are initially displayed without buttons because they won't be modified very often. Instead, there is a pencil button above the list to the right. When clicked, the display will change to show the list rows as usual with the buttons.

On small screens

when viewing a list on a smaller device such as a phone, a list may be wider than the screen. In that case you can scroll the list to the left and right to view the columns that aren't in view.
