List control not visible after adding in Sitecore SPEAK UI

Question

I am fairly new to Sitecore and I am trying to add a list control in Sitecore Speak. While I am able to add a List control and bind a Search data source to it, It is not visible in the page when I run the page. I am not sure what is going on. Below is the screenshot of the Page layout. I am using Sitecore 7.5 with Sitecore Rocks version 1.4. enter link description here

Answer 1

Does the Datasource item you have the list control databound to SearchDataSource in this case have any data?

You can debug in the browser console using Sitecore.Speak.App.DataSource.viewModel.Items() I believe as long as you have your webpage in debug mode and using this query string ?sc_debug=1.

If not update the SearchDataSource components to perform and return the data you wish to bind. The SearchDataSource component will have a few options to set the search you wish to perform.

You shouldn't need a datasource in this case as your data is coming from the Items property which is bound to the datasource control.
