There are two types of lists: static and dynamic. Static lists are made up of list items
that aren't data driven but are instead entered at design time by the developer. Dynamic

This confirmation screen also lets you choose whether to create a list region in your ap-
plication and, if so, where. The options are as follows:
•
Don't Create List Region(s)
: No list region is created, leaving you to create

Create List Region on Current Page

Create List Region for Each Target Page

to create a list region at this time:
