Which component would you use to display a list of records in Appian?

The choice of using a Record List to display a list of records in Appian is appropriate because the Record List component is specifically designed for this purpose. It pulls together and presents data from the underlying data structure in a way that users can easily understand and interact with. When working with records in Appian, the Record List provides built-in features like pagination, sorting, and filtering, which are essential for managing datasets effectively.

In contrast, other options such as Grid Layout and Data Table may have functionality for arranging items or presenting data in a tabular format but are not primarily intended for displaying records in the context of Appian’s record management system. The List View, while it can display collections of items, does not inherently provide the specialized functionality and features that the Record List offers for records, such as related actions or records style for visual consistency across the application. Therefore, the Record List is optimally suited for its purpose, providing users with a dedicated interface for interacting with their data.
