List Menu
List menu's present a list of options to the user. Selecting an option loads another screen. List menus are one of the most flexible screens types and can be configured in lots of different ways. The items in the list can come from the screens configuration data or a remote file hosted on a backend server. Hosting the items on a remote server allows for dynamic changes. This sample text file shows the format of a remote file of list items.
