How to Create and Populate a List on Dashpivot Web

Learn how to create a new list and add items to the List Library in Dashpivot Web

Written by Adriana De Souza

Creating and populating a list in Dashpivot Web allows you to manage reusable dropdown values across templates and projects. Lists stored in the List Library can be linked to templates to ensure consistent data entry and standardised options.

There are two locations where lists can be set up in Dashpivot Web:

  • List Library – Lists created here can be connected to any template located within the Home Folder.

  • Project Folder Lists – Lists created here are only accessible within Team Folders under the respective Project Folder.

It is recommended to set up lists within the List Library so they can be referenced across your workspace where required. Project Folder Lists are typically used when a list is only relevant to a specific group of Team Folders.
