Lists

Lists are reusable sets of options that feed selection fields in categories. Instead of entering the same options in each field individually, you create a centralized list and link it to the fields that need it.

To access, navigate to Structure > Lists.

List types

ENSPACE offers two types of lists:

• Default List — a simple list of options, without hierarchy. Suited for straightforward value sets, such as departments, statuses, or document types.
• Nested List — a list with hierarchical levels (tree structure). The user navigates through levels until reaching the desired option. Suited for classifications with subdivisions, such as NAICS codes, product categories, or geographic regions.

Learn more at Default List and Nested List.

Dependent Lists

In addition to the two types, you can configure a dependency behavior between lists. In this pattern, the selection made in one field determines which options are displayed in another field.

This behavior works with any combination of types — default with default, default with nested, or nested with nested.

How to create a list

1. On the Lists screen, click Create.
2. Fill in the fields:
   • Name (required) — the name that identifies the list.
   • Description — optional text about the list's purpose.
   • Reference — the list's internal identifier (important for dependent lists to work).
   • Type — choose between Default List and Nested List.
3. Add the list options.
4. Click Save.

All lists have Export and Import options, allowing you to transfer options in bulk.
