In the Portfolio Desk's All workspace, you can create an Entity List, which belongs to an entity type LIST. You can also create an Entity List from the Static & Dynamic Lists workspace.

About Entity Lists

An entity list is a collection of entities that you group together for scheduling purposes. There are two types of entity lists: static and dynamic. A static list can contain any number of portfolios that may or may not have common characteristics. A static list does not change unless you manually add or delete an entity from a list. A dynamic list is linked through a common characteristic. It may change over time, depending upon the underlying entity characteristics.

For example: A dynamic list is created for all entities with an investment strategy of Growth and Income; or a dynamic entity list with a specific manager’s name. The dynamic list scans the entity characteristics of all types of entities to create the dynamic list.
