How to Set Up Dynamic Lists

Dynamic Lists automatically organize your content based on predefined criteria, saving you time on manual updates and maintenance.

Understanding Dynamic Lists

Dynamic Lists automatically organize your content based on predefined criteria, making them perfect for maintaining consistently updated content collections. For example:

Imagine you want to display different types of content on separate pages/tabs of your platform. You could:

• Create a "Quiz Collection" dynamic list that automatically includes all your Classic Quizzes
• Set up an "Either/Or Games" list that dynamically updates with all your Either/Or content
• Maintain a "Latest Polls" list that automatically displays your most recent polls

This automated organization ensures your content is always up-to-date without manual intervention.

💡 Note: This is just one example of how Dynamic Lists can be utilized. Every content strategy is unique, and Dynamic Lists provide you with the flexibility to automatically organize content in whatever way best suits your specific needs.

Creating a Dynamic List

1. Click the "Create" button in the Lists dashboard
2. Enter a list name
3. Select "Dynamic" as the list type
4. Configure your content preferences:
   • Choose content type/s to include
   • Select sort order
5. Add content to your list:
   1. Click the "+" button next to specific content types (Classic Quiz, Poll, Top X, etc.)
   2. Or use the "Add all" button to include all available content types at once
6. Set your sorting preferences:
   1. Choose "Sort by" option (e.g., Created at)
   2. Select sort order (Ascending/Descending)
7. Click "Save" to create your Dynamic List

Key Differences from Custom Lists

• No manual content ordering
• Automatic updates based on content changes & real-time content filtering
• Simplified maintenance

💡 Note: Dynamic lists automatically maintain their organization based on your chosen criteria and cannot be manually reordered from the Management Portal.
