# Standard List Controllers

Standard list controllers allow you to create Visualforce pages that can display or act on a set of records. Examples of existing Salesforce pages that work with a set of records include list pages, related lists, and mass action pages. Standard list controllers can be used with the following objects:

-   Account
-   Asset
-   Campaign
-   Case
-   Contact
-   Contract
-   Idea
-   Lead
-   Opportunity
-   Order
-   Product2
-   Solution
-   User
-   Custom objects

-   **[Standard List Controller Actions](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/salesforce-pages-developers-guide/guide/pages-controller-sosc-actions.md)**  


    Standard list controllers support action methods. Action methods perform logic or navigation when a page event occurs, such as when a user clicks a button or hovers over an area of the page.

    To add pagination to a Visualforce page that has a list controller, use the `next` and `previous` actions.

    To display a filtered list of records on a Visualforce page, associate the page with a standard list controller.
