==Introduction==
List views are the part of the SmartSimple [[Interfaces|interface]] that combine similar records in a vertically scrolling list. The '''List View''' allows you to define which [[Standard_Fields|Standard]] and [[Custom Field|Custom]] Fields are displayed when viewing a list of records. You can also define the sequence in which the records are displayed.
For example, clicking on the Contacts hyperlink in the [[Administration Interface|administration interface]] displays a list view of contact records in your SmartSimple system:
* List views will default to the last set of search criteria used. For example, if you perform a search on Contacts for contacts with the last name "Smith" and log out of SmartSimple, the next time you log back in and view your contact, SmartSimple will remember your search and present the last set of search criteria.
* A user can choose from a selection of list views by changing the value in the “List View” drop box above the list view. The benefit of this feature is that each list view can display a different combination of [[fields]].
* A major feature of SmartSimple list views is that the results can be easily exported to Microsoft Excel. See [[Exporting List View Results to Microsoft Excel]] for more information on this feature.
