Overview List

Design an overview list to support users viewing and finding specific entities or entries.

Overview List guidelines

From the user’s perspective, the following are qualities of a well-designed overview list page:

  • Presents a grid with a set of columns that is optimized for viewing and filtering the given collection.

  • Has a page title that clearly names or identifies the collection of entities/entries presented.

  • If a summary or additional details related to the selected row are shown, these appear below the list.

  • If custom viewing options are available, these appear below the list and below any given row summary/details.

  • Includes one or two FactBoxes to give essential collection statistics, and relevant related details for the selected row.
