# Embedded lists for a record screen

Use an embedded list to place a list of information that is related to your current record within a segment on your record screen so that your users don't have to navigate to a related list.

<table id="table_ryt_ynb_xlb"><tbody><tr><td>

Use embedded lists to display lists of related information in an easily accessible record screen segment rather than having your users navigate away to a related list. For example, you could add a list of records representing computer parts or software to your work order form.

 To create an embedded list on a record screen, you will first need to perform the following tasks:

 -   **Create a data item to contain the data for your embedded list**

You need a data item to store the data that appears in your embedded list. To create a data item, follow the process in [Configure a standard data item](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/mobile/sg-studio-create-data-item.md).

-   **Create a list screen using that data item**

You need to configure a list to embed into your record screen. You can create this list using the process detailed in [List screen configuration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/mobile/sg-configure-list-screen.md).

-   **Embed your list into your record screen**

For details on this process, see [Configure an embedded list for a record screen](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/mobile/create-embedded-list-1.md).
