List definitions, similar to content management frames, are decorative containers
that control the look and feel of lists.

## Before you begin

Role required: content_admin or admin

## About this task

Specifically, list definitions are UI macros that use Apache Jelly script to define
how a list is rendered inside a list block. Site design often requires multiple list
styles within the layout. Lists are often the primary form of navigation within a
site, so it is important to have control over their formatting.

Configuring list definitions requires a knowledge of Apache Jelly.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllContent ManagementConfigurationList Definitions..
2. Click New.
3. Complete the List Definition form.
