Standard and temporary lists only have in them the people that you add, either individually or in bulk. The only functional difference between standard and temporary lists is that temporary lists will be deleted from VSys when you exit the program, and are only available to the current user.
Adding People to Lists
To add people to lists:
From the person lookup tool or from the list of all people in a project or delegation, right-click on a person and select Add to list, then select the list.
From the list of all people in a project or delegation, click the Show checkboxes link. Then check one or more people, right-click on the list and select Selected entrants and then Add entrants to list. This will add all of the checked people to the list at once.
While editing a list, use the Show add entrants tool to selectively find people based on any number of criteria. You can then click and drag people individually or in bulk onto the list.
The same tools used for adding people to a list work for removing them, just look for the Delete from list and Delete this item from list menu options.
