Redirecting to a Standard Object List Page

For buttons or links that navigate a user to a standard tab, you can redirect the content to present a list of standard objects.

Create a Visualforce page with the following markup:

1<apex:page action="{!URLFOR($Action.Account.List, $ObjectType.Account)}"/>

The user will see a page that resembles the following:

An Account detail page

The Visualforce page can also refer to other standard objects, such as contacts, by changing the reference to the standard object. For example:

1<apex:page action="{!URLFOR($Action.Contact.List, $ObjectType.Contact)}"/>
