# Creating a List of Computers of from Existing Computer Lists

You may want a list which combines the results of several different lists and smart lists. You can create aggregate lists by using the "Computer is in List" option. The list created will have the computers from the source lists, but not indicate which source list they came from.

1. Create the lists which will serve as the sources of the smart list.
