The Lists Tab: Playlist, Reading, and Saved

What the Lists tab is

As you work through the feed, you will run into videos, articles, podcasts, and industry news you do not want to act on right now but do not want to lose either. The Lists tab is where those saved items land. It holds three separate lists, built entirely from things you save while scrolling the feed:

• Playlist, videos and podcasts you queued to watch or listen to later.
• Reading List, articles you queued to read later.
• Saved, anything you bookmarked, any feed card, regardless of type.

There is nothing to set up here. Nothing appears in Lists until you save something from the feed, and there is no manual "add item" button on this tab, it is a queue, not a form.

Where to find it

Lists lives inside Vault, the third item under the My Data section of the sidebar, at iq.verinode.ai/data. Vault is a four-card slider, Uploads · Tracking · Lists · Notifications, and Lists is the third card.

There are two direct paths in:

• The sidebar icon tray. At the bottom of the left sidebar, past the collapse toggle, sits a small book-shaped icon titled My Lists. If you have anything unread in your Playlist or Reading List, it carries a teal count badge (capped at "9+"). Click it and a dropdown opens with three rows: Playlist (with an "N unlistened" note when something is queued), Reading List (with an "N unread" note), and Saved. Clicking any of the three jumps straight into the Lists card, pre-filtered to that list.
• The Vault home page. Open Vault and the home screen's Explore row has a dedicated tile for each list, Playlist, Reading, and Saved, sitting alongside the Uploads, Tracking, and Notifications tiles. Each tile shows a live count and a small preview (a dot grid for Playlist, a read-through ring for Reading), and clicking it opens Lists filtered to that one list.

Whichever way you arrive, you land on the same Lists card, just with the list-type filter already set for you.

How items get onto a list

1. 1Watch, listen to, or read something in the feed, later. On a video or podcast card, saving it to watch later adds it to your Playlist. On an article card, saving it to read later adds it to your Reading List.
2. 2Bookmark anything. Any card in the feed, video, article, podcast, vendor news, event, can be bookmarked. Bookmarking adds it to Saved, independent of whichever other list it might also be in.
3. 3Come back to Lists whenever you have a few minutes. Everything you saved is waiting here, sorted newest-saved first, until you read it, listen to it, or remove it.

The filter bar

Above the table sit a search box and two dropdowns.

• Search, placeholder "Search by title or source…". Matches against the item's title or its source name as you type.
• List-type dropdown, the first option reads All lists (N), showing the combined count across all three lists. The other three options are Playlist (N), Reading (N), and Saved (N), each showing that list's own count. This is the same control the sidebar dropdown and the Vault home tiles set for you when you deep-link in, you can freely change it once you are on the page.
• Read-status dropdown, three options: All, Unread, Read. This filter applies across whichever list(s) you are currently viewing, including Saved, so you can also track which bookmarks you have already gotten to.

The table

Once the filters resolve to at least one row, the list renders as a table with six columns.

• Thumb. A small 56×40 thumbnail. If the item has an image (a YouTube video's thumbnail, or the article's or podcast's source image), it renders there. If not, you get a plain square showing the first letter of the title.
• Title. The item's title. If the item has a source link, the title is a clickable link that opens the original in a new tab. Underneath the title, a smaller line shows the source name when one is known, for content pulled through Verinode's intelligence feed this is the publisher or feed source; for a saved signal, it is the section (domain) the signal came from.
• List. A small copper pill reading Playlist, Reading, or Saved, telling you which list that row belongs to. This only matters when you have "All lists" selected in the filter bar, since that view mixes rows from all three lists into one table.
• Type. A rounded badge with the media type, Article, Video, Podcast, Event, or Product Launch. If Verinode has no media type on file for the item, this reads Saved.
• Added. How long ago you saved it: "just now," then in minutes, then hours, then days, and once it passes a week, an actual date (e.g. "Jul 3").
• Actions. Up to three icon buttons, right-aligned:

- A checkmark ("Mark as read"), only shown while the item is still unread. Clicking it marks the item read immediately, the row's checkmark disappears and the whole row dims. - An external-link icon ("Open"), only shown when the item has a source link. Opens the original video, article, or page in a new tab. This does not mark the item read on its own, use the checkmark for that. - A trash icon ("Remove from list"), always present. Removing a row takes it out of whichever list it belongs to. It does not undo the underlying feed card, if you change your mind, you can save it again the next time you see it in the feed.

Once an item is marked read, its row dims to a faded state so your eye is drawn to what is still open, without the row disappearing on you.

Empty states

If you have never saved anything into any of the three lists, the table is replaced with:

Lists fill as you save items from the feed When your data flows in, you'll see: - Watch a video → it lands in your Playlist - Save an article → it lands in your Reading List - Bookmark anything → it lands in Saved

Underneath that, Verinode also shows the same "Get started" data-input prompts used elsewhere in Vault (drop files anywhere on the page, or set up auto-forwarding under Connect), left in place because Lists shares its empty-state layout with the rest of Vault, even though those two paths feed Uploads rather than Lists directly. The way to actually populate Lists is the feed, not a file upload.

If you have saved items but your current search or filters do not match any of them, you instead see:

No items match these filters - Try clearing the search or switching the list filter
