Simple List overview

A Simple List is useful for displaying a limited set of data in a simple table format. Query results displayed in a Simple List typically have at most five columns and 50 rows. You can sort the query results in ascending or descending order by clicking on the column headers in a Simple List.

Simple Lists have status and action areas. These features are optional, and their visibility is specified during the implementation of the Simple List. You can also display a header containing the query’s column names. The following illustration shows a Simple List.

Simple Lists can publish data when an item is selected, and can subscribe to data published by other result viewers. For more information on how result viewers publish and subscribe, refer to Web Part Communication.
