What type of object does a List View PCF file take as its root?

A List View PCF (Page Configuration File) file is designed to display a collection of items, typically representing a list of entity objects within the Guidewire platform. The root object for a List View component is the entity itself, as it directly correlates to the data being displayed.

In the context of the Guidewire application, an entity object encapsulates specific data attributes and behaviors, making it essential for the List View to render and interact with that particular dataset. The List View acts as a connector that allows users to visualize and manage collections of these entity objects, such as policies, claims, or other domain-specific data.

This design aligns with the principles of how Guidewire structures its components to ensure that developers can seamlessly work with both the data and the UI configurations needed to present that data effectively. Therefore, understanding that the root of a List View PCF is an entity object is fundamental to leveraging Guidewire's capabilities when developing and customizing the application's front-end components.
