listanäkymän

Listanäkymä is a Finnish term that translates to "list view" in English. It refers to a user interface element that displays data in a list format, where each item in the list typically represents a single record or object. This is a common way to present information in software applications, websites, and mobile apps, allowing users to easily browse, sort, and select from a collection of items.

In a list view, individual items are usually presented one after another, often with a consistent layout. This layout might include text labels, icons, small images, or a combination of these to represent the key attributes of each item. For instance, a list of emails might show the sender, subject, and a snippet of the message content. A file explorer might display file names, sizes, and modification dates.

The primary advantage of a list view is its simplicity and efficiency for displaying multiple data points. Users can quickly scan through the options, and interactive elements within the list, such as selection checkboxes or clickable rows, enable them to perform actions on one or more items. Many list views also offer sorting and filtering capabilities, allowing users to organize the displayed data according to their needs, making it easier to find specific information within a larger dataset.
