# Lists
**About:**
* Lists are static - When you create a list, it captures the state of the companies/people/locations at that point in time, and the list contents do not automatically update as the underlying data changes.
* You can create a list from a filter, which will include all records matching that filter at the time the list is created.
* You can also upload a CSV to create a list, which will include just the records in that CSV.
* Lists are useful for things like sales rep book assignments, custom reporting, etc. where you want a fixed set of records to work with.
* If you need a dynamic view that updates as the universe data changes, you would use a view instead of a list.
**Common Use Cases:**
* Assigning a book of business to each sales or post-sales rep
* Capturing a one-time CSV upload of target accounts
* Storing the output of a specific campaign or outreach batch
* Grouping accounts by contract, tier, or lifecycle stage for manual management
