Build a list

Create a list and choose the fields that every entry will have.

Create the list

In Lists, with the view selector on Standard, select New List.

Name it

Enter a title (required), such as Vendors, and optionally a description explaining what the list is for.

Add fields

Select Add Field and pick a field. Each field becomes a column in every entry. You can pick:

  • one of your workspace's list fields, shared by all lists and managed in Settings › List Custom Fields
  • Add List specific field for a field only this list uses

Order the fields

Drag fields by their handle to change the column order.

Save

Select Save List. Then open the Entries tab to start adding entries.

Choosing field types

Pick the type that matches the data, so entries are consistent and easy to filter:

Longer notesBig Text

CategoriesSingle Select or Multi Select
OwnersPerson

See Field types for the full reference.

Tip

If several lists need the same field, such as Owner or Status, create it once in Settings › List Custom Fields and add it to each list. It keeps its name and options consistent everywhere.

Delete a list

Open the list and select Delete List. This deletes all of its entries too, and can't be undone.
