lists and grids</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
<p>If there are no items to be displayed in a list or grid, the pane contains
a text informing the user about the empty list. The information displayed
in the list should be designed to provide as much help and guidance to the
user as possible. Instead of merely stating that a list is empty, the text
should point the user to some useful direction in the application in order
to add content.</p>
<fig id="GUID-05A6F907-D7C3-44F5-B866-E070D872CECA">
<title>Empty list: the primary font is used to inform about an empty list
and provide the user with further information (used only in cases when genuinely
useful additional information is available).</title>

<p>Depending on the case, the text may be aligned to prompt the user to create
the first item for an empty list.</p>
