Basic List module

Basic lists contain assets of any content type. The assets in the list do not change unless you explicitly do so.

A basic list includes promos of the list's underlying assets, and you cannot override the promos' text or image. (Changes to the assets' promos appear in the rendered basic list.) Advanced lists can also contain promos of the list's underlying assets, but you can override the promos' text and image. For information about customizing advanced lists, see Advanced List module.

Note

This topic describes how to create a shared basic list that you can use in multiple assets. If you want to create a one-off basic list, see Creating a one-off module.

To create a basic list:

In the header, click add.
From the Create list, select List Module.
Using the following table as a reference, complete the fields as needed.
Complete your site's workflow and publish the basic list.
