List and Details

In a list and details page, a clickable list of items is on one side of the page. When the user clicks an item on the list, details about that item will appear on the other side of the page. The user can efficiently flip from item to item without having to navigate back and forth to a separate list page.

When to Use

Follow the list and details page layout when the user needs to look up, view, or edit:

  • Profiles of people, customers, products, or other items
  • Orders, receipts, or requisitions

Key Sections

A typical list and details page has 3 sections of content:

  1. Header area
  2. List
  3. Details

1. Header Area

Tells the user where they are within the application and provides context about what’s on the page. This generally includes the page title and actions. It could also include a breadcrumb.

2. List

Displays a searchable or filterable list of items with key identifying details, allowing the user to quickly scan and select an item for more information.

3. Details

Shows the relevant details about the selected item. It updates instantly when the user chooses a different item from the list.

Components

IDS components can help you build a list and details page. The structure of the page will depend on how much information the user needs to see. Here are some components to consider:

  1. Header
  2. Listview
    • Can contain a header with search or filter options for the list
    • Displays a vertical list of items, each showing essential attributes and differentiators, such as name, ID, or status
    • Supports quick scanning and selection
    • Visually indicates the item that is currently selected
    • May use a virtual scroller or a pager for handling large data sets
  3. Tabs
    • Organize the selected item’s details into separate sections
    • Clearly label them for easier navigation, such as “Overview”, “History”, or “Attachments”
  4. Card*
    • Displays information (such as status or key metrics) or quick actions (such as “Edit” or “Delete”) about a selected item
    • May contain other components such as data grids, icons, fieldsets, and stats

*As an alternative to cards, consider using other components that are described in the profile record page layout or the data grid view page layout.

Example

This is a hi-fi example of a list and details page designed using IDS components. Use it as a guide for designing your own page. This layout is available in Figma in the IDS Page Layout Library v. 1.0.
