listing definition

The term list is the one that is normally used to designate the data sets, generally but not exclusively written, that are classified or ordered according to some type of particular characteristics in order to list and organize them. The lists are made in most cases to access important information in a simpler, orderly and visible way. Usually, the lists are written in a wide variety of possible formats, but there are also times when the concept can be used in the abstract when one makes lists in his mind without having to write the data. In both cases, the action is carried out to sort and organize the data to be used eventually.

There are many situations in which the presence of data listings can help you get better results. Lists are simple and concise enumerations of important information or data that are thus clearly visible and accessible to the person who needs them. The lists can be armed with different formats, vertically or horizontally, with bullets, numbers or without any of them, with concepts or whole words, with symbols or acronyms that summarize them, with colors or different ways of highlighting, without them, etc.

Lists are very useful in situations such as activities to do (for example, housework or office tasks to be done in a day), items to buy or acquire (for example, the supermarket list), such as summary of an informative or explanatory text from which main ideas are drawn, etc. In all these cases, the lists serve so that the person has immediate access to the data to be known and thus to be able to organize or act more easily and quickly.
