Modules are grouped into two three categories: Rotators, grids, and gridslists.
Rotators scroll horizontally to show many items in a single row. They’re best for fitting a lot of content into a small vertical space. Grids show items in a grid pattern. They’re best for making sure items are always visible on the page. Lists display a large collection of content.
Follow these suggestions to select a specific module based on your content:
...
To list exhibitors, courses, or library on-demand content…
Square rotators, Two-column grids, and Multi-column grids show any specified content.
Infinite search grids List pages add a search bar and filter to a large collection (20+) of content.

Lists
List page
A list is a special page type that displays an infinite number of items that load as you scroll down at the bottom of the page. It can have 2-5 columns. Above it, you can include a search bar and filter options. We recommend using this grid . Any other rotators or grids can be added above the list and search bar, but none can be added below it. Only the list is searchable.
If you have 20+ items to display in a grid, a list is the best choice. It helps pages load faster because items load as you scroll, instead of all at once.
We recommend using a list to display all of a specific content type. For example, on your Courses Sessions page, you could make all courses searchable. Note that if there are multiple modules on a page, the infinite search grid must come last.
