@vodnalar26 

it's upto the developer what they prefer.

The advantage of using .LIST -> it opens table in new tab keeping the current tab intact and they can work on multiple things each in separate tab

HI,

Its the same thing, only difference is whether you want to open the List on the current page or new tab.

Performance wise there is no difference.

Hi @vodnalar26,

 

Depends on how are you used to navigate tabs/windows in your browser.

 

.list you stay on the same page, so you will escape your current page

.LIST will open in a new tab.

 

Buuuuut ☝️ before you navigate via .LIST then be sure that the below user preference is set to true, otherwise it will be opened without the navigation bar in the top and it's annoying...

It is a nuisance by ServiceNow as this property should be set to true OOTB :))) you can vote for my idea at the Idea portal💡 [IDEA] User preference for top navigation == true on default for all
