Setting up a List app

To use the List app, you first have to set it up. You need to be an admin of the page or community and have "Manage apps of a page/community" permission to configure the app.

For information on showing your app's name in other languages, read Providing app names in other languages. However, the list in a list app is the same across all languages.

Set up the app

After adding a List app, you can configure the following settings:

  • Name: Give your app a meaningful name that best reflects its topic and use case.
  • Activate this app: Activate the app immediately or leave it in the deactivated mode. A deactivated app is only visible to page or community admins. Learn more in Activating and deactivating apps.
  • URL: By default, the URL is generated from the app's name, but you can change it to something else. Any old links leading to the app won't work anymore after you change it.
  • Element name: Define the name that is shown in the list overview.
  • New entry notification: Depending on your selection, no one, all subscribers, or only admins of the page or community will be notified when new list entries are added.
  • Permissions: Define what regular users can do in the app. Some permissions are connected; that is, if View entries are set to No, Edit entries and Delete entries are also set to No. This is because users cannot edit or delete entries that they cannot see.
    • Create entries: Users can create entries in the app
    • View entries: Users can see the entries in the app
    • Edit entries: Users can edit entries in the app
    • Delete entries: Users can delete entries in the app
