Lists are made up of a continuous column of rows. Each row contains a
tile. Primary actions fill the tile, and supplemental actions are
represented by icons and text.
Lists are best suited to presenting a homogeneous data type or
sets of data types, such as images and text. They are optimized for
reading comprehension while differentiating either between similar
data types, or qualities within a single data type.
List alternatives:
If more
than three lines of text need to be shown in list tiles, use cards
instead
If the primary distinguishing content consists of
images, use a grid list
Density
When the mouse and
keyboard are the primary input methods, measurements may be condensed
to accommodate denser layouts.
