Learn all about Lists and how they can help you collect and organize information

What are Lists?

Lists are a way to collect and show all sorts of information in a side panel on the right hand side of Storiez. Lists can be custom created for just about anything, meaning that you can create a list for Contacts, for a list of editors in your team, a list of locations, and more.

How do I create Lists?

Lists can be created in multiple ways, both bring you to the settings page where you can create and manage Lists:

  • From the News Desk, hover over the green 'Lists' tab and click on it. If no Lists have previously been created, you can click 'Create List'.

  • Open the settings, which you can do via the gear icon in the top right corner of Storiez, then go to the 'Lists' option in the menu on the left.

Click the blue button to create a new List, then give your new list a name, description, and make sure it is enabled.

Next, add the fields that you would like to see on each 'record' that you add to your List. You can add as many fields as needed and you can select from multiple field types to customize the content of your Lists to your needs.

Creating a Contacts List

To create e.g. a Contacts List, you can add fields such as name, email, phone, address, and more. For each field, you can select whether or not it should be shown, which type of field it needs to be, and you can set a default value as well.

As a result, you can now create a list of all your contacts which include all the information you find valuable.

How do I switch between Lists in my News Desk?

When opening the Lists panel on the right hand side of the News Desk, it opens your previously opened List by default. If you want to switch to a different List instead, simply click the name of the List at the top and select the other List from the dropdown menu.
