Create a list presentation

A list presentation stores a reusable presentation for navigator, menu, personalization, and search components. If the presentation of a navigator, menu, personalization, or search component is used in more than one component design, then we should store that presentation in a list presentation.

Unlike other components, the list presentation cannot be rendered directly on a page. Instead, it is selected in the design section of a navigator, menu, personalization, or search component.

When to use a list presentation

We use a list presentation when a set of navigator, menu, personalization, or search components share the same design parameters. This allows us to store these design parameters in a single reusable site presentation that is reused throughout the site. When we need to update your list presentation design, edit the list presentation item, not the components using the shared list presentation item.

To create a new list presentation, click New > Component > List Presentation.

• List presentation identification
  Specify identification information for the list presentation, including the name, title and description of the list presentation.

• Set a location for the list presentation
  When creating a list presentation we can specify the location of the list presentation.

• Define list presentation options
  The selection items and fields in the list presentation are equivalent to the same fields used in menu and navigator elements.

• Granting List Presentation access
  Specify the access control settings for the list presentation to determine which users have access to the list presentation and their level of access.
