## What a list is

A list is a saved selection. You build it once — with filter, search or the basket — and then reuse it wherever it is needed: to generate documents, to create an exhibition or consignment, to build a presentation, or to address a mailing.

## Lists of works, lists of people

A list can hold artworks or contacts. A mailing list of collectors and a checklist of works behave the same way, which is what makes lists useful as a general-purpose tool rather than a feature of one module.

## Keeping them tidy

Lists can be filtered by who can see them, by category, and by whether they have been archived, so a few years of accumulated selections stay manageable.
