9.1 About Static Lists
Lists can take many forms. If you have spent much time in a word processor or a web page editor, then you are probably familiar with the two basic kinds: the bulleted list
and the numbered list see Adding Numbered and Bulleted Lists
on page 4-3. On a Site Studio Web site, there are two more types of lists that you can work with: dynamic
list and static lists. These offer more advanced editing capabilities in Contributor. A static list is a flexible and powerful feature in Site Studio Contributor. The list itself
is created by the designer of the site and then turned over to you, the contributor, so that you can edit and manage the list. Static lists can be used to show things like your
office locations, product summaries, or job openings.
A static list is similar to a table in that it contains rows and columns of information. The difference is that, in a static list, each row or column can be opened up and edited
as an individual field in Contributor. Furthermore, in a static list, you can add a row or column and remove a row or column, but you cannot change the fundamental layout
of the list just like a dynamic list.
The look-and-feel of the static list may vary, depending on how it was originally set up. It may contain a single row or column, containing text and graphics, or it may
contain several rows and columns containing text, graphics, links, and much more. A static list may not look like a list at all when viewed on a web page.

data files or native documents on a web page, a static list displays all of its content from a single contributor data file.

It contains multiple rows and columns, possibly a description or instructions in the field labels. In the above illustration, Partner Name, Partner Logo, and Partner
Description are used for the field labels. The way it looks in Contributor may vary quite a bit from how it looks on the actual web page.
Figure 9–2 , for example, shows it
as an invisible table, with the partner name above the partner logo, and the description to the right of the logo.

Working With Static Lists 9-3
Each static list in a contribution region has a separate editing section in the Contributor editor. At the top of the section is the static list toolbar
Figure 9–3 , which
you use to add to, and edit, the list.
