# List Views

## Overview

In Taglo software, you'll be spending much of your time creating and editing items that belong in lists. Examples of these from Models are:

* A list of [**Variables**](/variables/variable-basics.md)
* A list of [**Assumptions**](/assumptions/introduction-to-assumptions.md)
* A list of [**Sheets**](/layout/sheets.md) in your [**Layout**](/layout/generating-excel.md)
* A list of [**Calculation Parts**](/calculations/calculation-parts.md) in a [**Calculation**](/calculations/introduction-to-calculations.md)

Given that you'll be spending so much time working in lists, we provide a consistent way of viewing, searching, and managing the items in these lists.

## View types

The default type of view for a list of items will vary with the item. There are 2 main views that you will usually see, Basic and Tree. You may sometimes also see a Grid view.

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Basic</strong></td><td><img src="/files/zvdwCnywkC7hOne3PfSm" alt="" data-size="original"></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Tree</strong></td><td><img src="/files/Q7TQRlysJIeVsXruK0t8" alt="" data-size="original"></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Grid</strong></td><td><img src="/files/b8nlLlKwfvbg96Wo8Vgp" alt="" data-size="original"></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Switching views

Taglo allows you to view most lists in multiple ways. For instance, you may want to view an item that is presented in a Tree View as a Basic List, or in a Grid View.

You'll find the Switch View control (shown below) at the bottom of all lists that have multiple views enabled. Simply click on one of the buttons to select a view.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are currently working in a list, you can also switch between views with the keyboard shortcut **`Ctrl+Number`***<mark style="background-color:yellow;">.</mark>*

e.g. To switch to the second available view, press **`Ctrl+2`**
{% endhint %}
