Animation Controllers - Quick Navigation

The List controller combines multiple controllers into a single effect. It is a compound controller with tools for managing the order in which its internal controllers are calculated. Controllers are evaluated in a top to bottom order; the controller at the top of the list is evaluated first.

When you assign a List controller to a parameter, the current controller is moved one level below the List controller; it becomes the first controller in the list. A second parameter is added below the List controller and is named Available. This is an empty placeholder for the next controller you add to the list.
