List and form pages

Civic Platform uses lists and forms to display the information you work with. Both are customizable and may vary from the descriptions in this documentation, depending on how your agency has configured Civic Platform. However, the general layout of lists and forms is consistent.

List pages

A list page displays a list of items in Civic Platform. A list page may include work orders, assets, permit, applications, service requests, addresses, contacts and more. A list may also be the result of a search.

Civic Platform provides you with ways to manage lists, such as sorting, filtering, organizing, and exporting.

List page example

Features available on a list

• To sort the list, select any column title.

• To adjust the number of records displayed, select the Menu button, and then select Expand list or Contract list.

• To customize how information displays in a list, select the Menu button, and then select Customize content. You can specify the field display, including the field sequence and field width. You can also organize and sort lists by assigning a display or sort order. For more information, see Customize content or Edit view.

• To export a list in CSV format, see Export a list to a CSV file.

Contact your agency administrator to change the layout of a list page.

Form pages

Form pages display fields that provide details about a single object such as a permit, service request, or address. Some fields contain information you can edit. Fields may require you to enter only numbers or only dates. A field may also require you to select an option from a menu.

Form pages are also used to search for existing records and to create new records.
