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.
🔸 Creating and Configuring a List Configurator
Navigate to the List Configurator tab in the SmallBuilder Lists app.
Click the New button to open the List Builder interface.
Configure all necessary elements in the List Builder. Once the configuration is complete, click the Active button to activate the List Configurator.
Click TABS to add and manage the tab for the configurator.
Activating the List Configurator requires completing the following essential configurations:
Title: The name of the list configurator.
Object: The Salesforce object associated with the list.

🔸 Overview of the List Builder Interface
The List Builder interface is divided into four main sections:
The Side Panel is composed of seven key components, allowing users to perform various configurations, including layouts, data import/export, compact views, and mobile settings.
This panel is used to configure basic settings for the list, including:
Basic information such as name, associated object, and description.
Enabling data export to and import from Excel.
This panel manages the data table settings, including:
Number of records displayed per page.
Adding virtual columns.
Configuring row-level actions.
This panel appears when Allow Import is enabled in the Default settings. It lets you configure fields and actions for importing data from Excel.
This panel is used to add and configure actions (buttons) at the top of the list.
This panel allows you to add and configure filters displayed above the data table.
This panel configures a compact version of the configurator for display on the Home page or in the App Builder. The compact list can display up to five columns.
This panel configures the mobile version of the configurator. Note that only one Action (button) is allowed in the mobile version.
The Preview Panel allows users to easily review the configured table structure, various action buttons, and detailed filter conditions. It provides a comprehensive view of the entire list configuration, helping users quickly understand the overall context and make adjustments as needed.
The header acts as the central control center for the List Configurator. It allows users to view and manage key settings for the List Configurator, perform essential actions such as saving, activating, previewing, and cloning, and navigate between important functionalities.
