====== Index lists window ======

The index lists window displays all the [[Index_list|index lists]] of the current [[Project|project]]. To display this window select **Window | Index lists** from the menu bar.

From this window you can:

  * Create, edit and delete index lists;
  * Edit properties of an [[Index_list|index list]];

In a newly created project there are already //built-in// index lists as explained in the page on [[Index_list|index lists]]. You cannot edit or remove built-in index lists.

Each row in the table details one index list. Click the + symbol to expand an index list and to edit properties of its indices. By default the window displays the following properties: Name and Type. More properties and options can be made available by clicking the [[Table_control_button|{{:tablecontrol.png}}]] button and selecting the desired property from the menu that appears. The same menu can be displayed by right-clicking a column header.
