Automatic Lists

How to use an Automatic Listing

An Automatic List is a manually curated list of content that automatically presents the most recent entries of that content type. These lists are highly customizable and can vary in length to serve a number of purposes from highlighting the most up-to-date events, to teasing information on a more robust listing page.

• content types for automatic lists include contacts, locations, documents, news, and events.
• Use on a Landing Page or on a Basic Page.

Example: Automatic Listing

Required fields

1. Title - 75 characters max

You have the option to hide the title if the surrounding page already provides context.

2. List content

Choose the type of content to display:

• Contacts
• Locations
• News
• Past events
• Upcoming events
• Documents

3. Items per block

Indicate the number of list items to display. Supports values between 2 and 18 items. The list may display fewer items if published content does not match the automatic list's criteria.

Optional fields

1. Description - 250 characters max

Add optional text to explain the purpose of the list.

2. More link

You can add a link to:

• A listing page
• A related resource page

Using Taxonomy Filters

You can limit results using taxonomy terms such as:

• Topic
• News type
• Division
• Agency taxonomy

Example:

Show only:

• Topic: Health
• News Type: Press Release

This allows the automatic list to display only matching content.
