A List View is a filtered list of records in Salesforce.
List Views will always display the records of Object you’re on. For example if you click on Accounts, you will see a List View containing Account records. If you click on Opportunities, you will see Opportunity records, etc.
Pro Tip! When you’re first getting starting in Salesforce (or if you’ve just started working with records of a new type) your List View will always default to Recently Viewed. There will be nothing to see if you haven’t viewed at any records yet! Be sure to use the little down arrow next to Recently Viewed to navigate to another List View to start seeing records (see #1 in the image above) |
Select a list view from the drop-down. Pin a list with the (pin icon 
) to set it as your default.
Modify a list view using the List View Controls menu (gear icon )
You not have access to modify public List Views (the ones all users can view). See https://ceceuofu.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/~elizabeth.aste/pages/2479259649/Salesforce+-+List+Views+Overview#Clone-a-List-View
To save yourself a few clicks, try using the New button to Create a record directly from a List View!
See the criteria for which records are displayed by using the little funnel icon.
Change how the data is displayed! Different views work well for certain types of data.

You will not be able to edit records inline if the List View is not filtered by 1 Record Type.
2 - Navigate to a record & verify you are able to Edit the field from the record view.
If you are unable to Edit the field from the record, this field is restricted in some way and your access may need to be updated.
