About Lists
Lists are used to keep data organized in various stages of a process. They can be used to create workflows in which information can be moved across lists from start to finish.
Types of Lists
There are two types of lists in VIA; lists and shadow lists. Regular lists are static lists that exist within the board that you are looking at. Shadow lists are dynamic lists that belong to other boards but are shared on your specific board. Shadow lists are useful when you have a number of boards and you would like to consolidate a number of lists on a single board for ease of use.
