# Data Arrangeent (1-Card-to-1-Row vs 1-Tab-to-1-Row)

## What is the Data Arrangement Option?

The data arrangement option is **a feature you can set when extracting multiple pages at once (group extraction, tabs extraction, etc.) and exporting them to a single file**. Depending on how you'll use the data, you can choose whether to arrange individual page results by card or by tab.

Data arrangement is one of \[Download Options] and **has nothing to do with usage**. Feel free to select both ways and choose the one that gives you the results you want.

## Understanding Cards vs Tabs

<figure><img src="/files/9a5c34f30cc32d3d5f2bd204036c8246065d1dea" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **Card**: A data unit area discovered by Listly. One card is saved as **one Excel row**. For a single task, if you download the above result as is, 30 cards means 30 rows in Excel.
* **Tab**: The upper section containing multiple cards.

These concepts apply to each task and are used as data arrangement standards when results from multiple URLs are combined, like group extraction or tabs extraction.

#### Card per row

If each URL's selected data tab had **2 cards**, extracting 3 URLs creates a total of **6 rows (2×3) of data**.\
In other words, **each card is recorded as an independent row**, making it suitable for cases like shopping mall 'list pages' where **multiple item info is contained** within one tab.

#### Tab per row

All cards within each URL's data tab are placed in one row. Therefore, extracting 3 URLs with this option creates only **3 rows** total in the final Excel file, matching the number of URLs.

In other words, **each page is recorded as one Excel row**, making it suitable for cases like shopping mall 'detail pages' where there's only one item's info within one tab.
