-PatternFly offers 2 components for displaying large data sets: data lists and [tables](/components/table/design-guidelines). While they satisfy similar use cases, choosing the correct component to use in your design will be dependent on the type of data you need to display.
+Data list toolbars should only contain actions that directly impact the data list. Any actions that are related to the overall page and its context (or impact the general page but not the data list directly) should be placed outside of the data list, at the top right of the page at the header level. This may include actions that edit the page header, actions that launch related windows, and so on.
 
 Data lists can also appear in primary-detail views. Visit the [primary-detail guidelines](/patterns/primary-detail/design-guidelines) to learn more about the functionality.

 **Use a data list when**:
 * The information you want to display is not easily structured into a tabular format.
 * Content displayed varies between rows and you want a more flexible layout. 
 * You plan to embed rich content like a chart or an image into a row.

+Instead of a data list, you may choose to use [card views](/components/card/design-guidelines#card-views). Card views and data lists have similar properties, but information in a card view is chunked into a grid of individual cards.
