For a more detailed explanation of the list page, see Designing List Pages.

page 50111 SampleCustomerList

    PageType = List;
    ApplicationArea = All;

    // Specifies the page to display records from the Customer table.
    SourceTable = Customer;

    // Makes the page searchable from the Tell me what you want to do feature. 
    UsageCategory = Lists;

    // Specifies the card page Sample Customers to be uses for modifying or creating new customer records.
    CardPageId = 50112;

    // Sets the title of the page to Sample Customers.
    Caption = 'Sample Customers';
