List page

List pages are the first pages accessed when choosing any menu option to access data. This includes all of the entries under the buttons on the navigation pane. A list page displays a list of records (rows), one line per record, with each displayed data field in a column.

When a list page is initially selected, it is not editable. When we click on the vertical dots an entry in a list, either an editable card page or an editable list page entry is displayed. Examples of this latter behavior are the reference table pages, such as postcodes, territories, and languages. A list page can also be used to show a list of master records to allow the user to visually scan through the list of records or to easily choose a record on which to focus.

List pages may optionally include FactBoxes. Some Business Central list pages, such as customer ledger entries, allow editing of some fields (for example, invoice due dates) and not of other fields.

The following screenshot shows a typical list...
