Lists in Bitrix24 are designed to help you store and manage data, such as contract registries, equipment catalogs, or office supply inventories. They are fully customizable, allowing you to add fields, organize sections, and integrate them with other Bitrix24 tools. For example, when you add a new contract to a list, you can set up a workflow to automatically create a task for the manager and notify the responsible person.

Add fields to describe list elements

By default, each list element has one field called Name. To include more details, create additional fields. For example, in a departments list, you can add fields for the supervisor and the number of employees.

To add a field, go to the list and click Settings (⚙️) > Customize fields > Add field.

Add sections and elements to the list

To start using the list, you need to add information to it. Go to the list, click the arrow next to the Add button, and choose whether to add a section or an element.
