Lists and tables are similar as both usually contain a vertical list of data, but lists generally contain basic data and tables tend to hold more complex data.
If the list is a complex hierarchy, it is best to use a tree.
Simple List
A link can be used to allow the user to access more details about the item.
List item 1
List item 2
List item 3 - Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur sed do
List item 4 - Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud
Lists with Action
The List item can contain quick actions.
