About Lists

A list consists of multiple records, presented as rows. For information about determining the number of records in a list, see "Displaying Record Count".

Each record consists of multiple fields. The first record in a list is selected and highlighted a color (for example, blue) when you access the list. You can select a record in a list by clicking any field in the record. Your selection highlights the selected record. If you select other records, then the last record you select is highlighted in blue, and the other records you select are highlighted in yellow. If the field you click is editable, then the field converts to edit mode, and you can enter a value in the field.

Figure 3-7 shows an example of a list.

In a list, you scroll vertically and horizontally to view data.

About Navigating Between Records in a List

Use the navigation buttons that appear at top right side of the form below the list to navigate between the records in the list. Table 3-4 describes the navigation buttons.

	Navigates to the next record.

The record number range for a list appears in the top right corner of the list, and shows the number range for the records that appear in the list. The record number range changes as you navigate between the records in the list. An estimate of the total number of list records appears to the right of the record number range. You must scroll to the end of the list to see the exact total number of list records to the right of the record number range. Figure 3-8 shows an example of the record number range and the total number records for a list.

About Horizontal Scrolling in Lists

Use the horizontal scroll bar to navigate through all of the columns in a list. The horizontal scroll bar appears above the vertical navigation buttons in lists that contain more columns than can fit on the screen. For information about designating the columns that appear on the screen, see "Organizing List Columns".

About Expanding and Collapsing Lists

Every list has a show more button or a show less button in the top right corner. Clicking the show more or show less button allows you to see more or fewer records in a list. Table 3-5 describes the show more and show less buttons.
