Getting Started with Builder

The core feature of SmallBuilder Lists, the List Builder, provides a powerful and user-friendly interface for creating List Configurators. The List Builder is designed to be intuitive and efficient, enabling anyone to easily create and configure lists. Once a list configurator is created using the List Builder, it is converted into a tab and integrated into the user interface, allowing users to easily access and utilize the new list functionality in a familiar environment.

When creating or editing records in the List Configurator tab, the List Builder is triggered.
