Page list vs Field list and Page group vs Field group
What is the difference between a page list and field list? Likewise, what is the difference between a page group and field group?
I see the "Field" type options in the edit case type>>data model tab>> column "Type" >> option under complex types.
I see the "Page" type options in the app icon>>property, create new>> type is preset as "text", click change, several options listed under "page" heading.

Hi Taylor,
As per my understanding Field group/Single Page and Field group(list)/Page List are same, they are just referred with the different names based on the place of the reference. In the Case > Configure View > Fields tab(the properties are referred as fields that might be the reason behind naming them as Field group/Field group(list) instead of Single Page/Page List, but at the back end system will create Single Page and Page List type properties only when you add these types in Fields tab).
Hope this clarifies your doubt.

A Page List property consists of an ordered list of pages, each identified by an integer index (starting with 1). The Page List property is the most commonly used property mode for holding lists of data.
Field Values:
A Page Group property consists of an unordered set of pages, each identified by a string subscript value. Use a Page Group property for large lists when you need to frequently look up specific pages by a unique identifier and the order of the pages does not need to be maintained.

Field group can be used to store the values of a group of related fields in a page data structure.
