Mergado Lists is a simple extension for quickly and easily creating shared lists of selected online stores, projects, or queries. You can then use these lists to create dashboards in the Mergado Dashboards extension.

This extension is particularly suited to marketing specialists and agency teams managing dozens of projects. Instead of manually entering items for each dashboard, simply create one list in Mergado Lists and connect it to your dashboards. This creates dashboards for all items in the list at once.

The goal of the extension is to make work in Mergado more efficient and faster overall.
