The lists menu inside the Admin Panel gives you the possibility to add lists, so you can reuse them for different purposes. Lists can be useful for entering a bigger bulk of data into the system that you want to reuse or use for smart automation in various system parts. For example, you could use the list menu to create site lists, device lists, address lists, etc. You could also utilize lists for triggering workflow events, for enhancing system connections, and for almost any other automation that you want to achieve. You can even version your lists, to keep maintaining all your lists convenient and straight forward.

Inside the Admin panel go to Projects and More -> Lists
Expand the menu by clicking the expand arrow in the Navigation  or click directly on Project to reveal all options of Projects and More. You can add and edit lists in this menu.

The list overview lists all your different list items including different versions which makes maintenance easy. You can even upload lists via Excel Upload.
