The <apex: listViews> is another important component that acts as a list view picklist for an object. It displays the associated list of records for the currently selected view.
The <apex: listViews> has the following attributes:
1. id
The "id" is a string-type attribute, i.e., a unique identifier that allows this component to be referenced by other components on the page.
Syntax:
<apex: listViews id="listViewId"></apex:listViews>
2. rendered
The "rendered" is a Boolean-type attribute that specifies whether this component is rendered on the page. Boolean-value true is set as a default value for this attribute.
Syntax:
<apex: listViews rendered="false"></apex:listViews>
3. type
The "type" is a string-type attribute used to specify the Salesforce Object for which list views are displayed.
Syntax:
<apex: listViews type="ObjectName"></apex:listViews>
The <apex: listViews> has the following three facets:
1. body
The "body" facet is used to specify the component appearing in the body of the displayed list of records.
2. footer
The "footer" facet is used to specify the component appearing in the body of the displayed list of records.
3. header
