# Administering lists on the ServiceNow AI Platform

Administrators can control the sort sequence, allow personal lists, restrict filters and breadcrumbs, allow context ranking and more.

## Administration overview

-   [Controlling the sort sequence used to display lists](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/list-administration/c_ControlTheListSortSequence.md)

    All lists have a default sort sequence based on the type of fields present in the list.

-   [List editor administration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/list-administration/r_AdministeringTheListEditor.md)

    The list editor allows users to edit field values directly from a list without navigating to a form.

-   [Personal list administration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/list-administration/c_AdministeringPersonalLists.md)

    Users can customize the layout for any list view by personalizing a list. Administrators can configure options related to list personalization.

-   [Administer detail rows](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/list-administration/t_EnableDetailRows.md)

    Detail rows provide additional information about records in a list.

-   [Restrict filters and breadcrumbs with fixed queries](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/list-administration/t_RestrictBreadcrmbsWFixedQueries.md)

    The record list view allows users to navigate to different subsets of a table using breadcrumbs and filters. You can limit access to parts of the table by restricting active links in breadcrumbs or by suppressing breadcrumbs and filters for specific roles.

-   [Enable a hierarchical list](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/list-administration/t_EnableAHierarchicalList.md)

    You can enable hierarchical lists to make data from related lists directly accessible from within a v2 list.

-   [Context ranking](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/list-administration/r_ContextRanking.md)

    Context ranking allows a user to sort a collection of records preferentially; that is, independently of the attributes of those records.

-   [Customize list context menus](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/list-administration/t_CreateAContextMenu.md)

    You can customize the content and behavior of list context menus.
