A list definition is a list of names that may be used as allowed names for spaces or zones. List definitions can be attached to a space style or a zone style, so that the list of names is available on the Properties palette when you create or edit a space or zone with that style.
List definition for a space
List definitions are useful when you create spaces according to government or company standards.
When you change the name list in a space or zone style, a space or zone name can interact with the new list definition in the following ways:
- The existing name is also included in the new list definition. In this case, no change to the space name is made.
- The existing name is not included in the new list definition, but the list definition allows individual names to differ from the list. In this case, the existing name is retained as a non-standard name.
- The existing name is not included in the new list definition, and the list definition does not allow individual names to differ from the list. In this case, the existing name is removed and the name defaults to the first name in the new list definition.
