16.8.2.1 About Creating a Static List
Learn about the steps involved in creating a static list.
A static list is based on predefined display and return values. When you create a static list you define a list entry label and a target (either a page or URL). You can add list entries when you create the list, by copying existing entries, or by adding the list entries. You can control when list entries display by defining display conditions.
The process of creating a static list involves the following steps:
-
Step 1: Create the static list by either:
-
Creating a list from scratch by running the Create List Wizard. When prompted enter the list name and select the list type, Static.
-
Copying an existing static list by running the Copy List Wizard.
Each list element has a display condition, which enables you to control when it displays. You can define a list element to be current for a specific page or for multiple pages.
-
-
Step 2: Add list entries. You can add list entries:
-
When running the Create List Wizard.
-
By copying entries from within an existing list. If you copy an entire list, you also copy all of its list entries.
-
By adding list entries manually.
-
-
Step 3: Add the list to a page by creating a List region.
How you perform these steps is a personal preference. You can perform all of these steps when you run the Create List Wizard. Alternatively, you can perform these steps one at a time.

16.8.2.2 About Adding Entries and Sublists to a Static List
Once you create a list, you must add entries to it.
You can add list entries when running the Create List Wizard, copying a list entry from within a list, or copying existing entries from one list to another.
You can also create hierarchical lists that contain sublists. To create a hierarchical list, you must:
-
Select a list template that supports hierarchical lists.
Tip:
To determine if a list template supports hierarchical lists, go to Shared Components, Templates. On the Templates page, find and click the list template name. The List Template Current with Sublist Items attribute on the Edit List Template page determines whether the list template supports hierarchical lists. If this attribute is not null, the list template supports hierarchical lists. If this attribute is null, then the list template does not support hierarchical lists. -
Select a Parent List Item when you create each list entry.
