Use the list card if you want to preview information from a set of related items or objects.

Don't

Don’t use the list card to highlight an individual item or object. Use the object card instead.

Anatomy

A. Header (optional)

The header area supports photo thumbnail or icon, and an overflow button for additional actions. A title is required when a header is used.

B. List Items

Similar to shortened object cells, list items can display a name, a subtitle, and a footnote, in addition to a photo thumbnail and inline actions. It is recommended to have the same format across list items per card and have 5 items maximum.

C. Footer (optional)

In the footer area, users can access and perform select actions. It is recommended to have 2 actions maximum.
