# Create and edit custom lists

Create personal or workspace-wide list views with custom fields, filters, and sorting.

## Workspace administrator lists[​](#workspace-administrator-lists "Direct link to Workspace administrator lists")

Workspace administrators can create lists that benefit the entire team:

* **Global access** - make custom lists available to all workspace members
* **Standardized views** - establish consistent ways to view and work with data
* **Team efficiency** - provide optimized views for common workflows
* **Permission control** - manage who can access and modify workspace lists

## Private custom lists[​](#private-custom-lists "Direct link to Private custom lists")

Individual users can create personal list views regardless of their permission level:

* **Personal workspace** - design lists that match your specific workflow needs
* **No admin rights required** - create custom views without needing workspace administrator privileges
* **Privacy control** - keep lists private or share them as needed
* **Flexible configuration** - customize fields, filters, and formatting to your preferences

## Sharing custom lists[​](#sharing-custom-lists "Direct link to Sharing custom lists")

Share your private lists with colleagues using direct links:

* **Direct sharing** - share a list URL with colleagues to make it visible to them (lists store column, filter, and grouping configuration rather than access permissions)
* **Collaboration** - enable team members to use your list views

## List customization options[​](#list-customization-options "Direct link to List customization options")

When creating custom lists, you can configure:

* **Field selection** - choose which fields to display and in what order
* **Filter criteria** - set up filters to show only relevant records
* **Sorting preferences** - arrange data in the most useful order
* **Format selection** - choose table, cards, boards, or other visualization formats
* **Grouping rules** - organize records by common characteristics
