Lists
List page
A list is a special page type that displays an infinite number of items at the bottom of the page. It can have 2-5 columns. Above it, you can include a search bar and filter options. 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 sessions searchable.
