FAQ: Lists

Why should I create a List?  

Creating a custom list gives you one central place to track and manage information easily. This means that whenever you make a change, it's automatically updated everywhere the list is used. This makes things simpler and more efficient, especially for tasks like searching, setting up alerts, and making reports. So basically, it helps you keep everything organized and saves you time.

What are the type of list you can create? 

• Word - Generate a list to organize specific words.
• Bill - Establish a list to manage specific bills.
• Member - Create a list centered on specific members of interest.
• Law - Monitor particular U.S. Codes, discover new laws, or identify legislative impacts on specific U.S. Codes or Public Laws.
• Committee - Formulate a list based on specific congressional committees of interest.
• Vote - Develop a list focusing on specific congressional floor votes of interest.
