# init(title:sections:assistantCellConfiguration:)

Creates a sectioned list template that optionally displays the assistant cell.

```
init(title: String?, sections: [CPListSection], assistantCellConfiguration: CPAssistantCellConfiguration?)
```

## Parameters

`title`

The title that the navigation bar displays while the template is visible.

`sections`

An array of sections, each with zero or more list items. For more information, see [`CPListSection`](/documentation/CarPlay/CPListSection).

`assistantCellConfiguration`

The object that provides the configuration attributes for the assistant cell, such as position and visibility. For more information, see [`CPAssistantCellConfiguration`](/documentation/CarPlay/CPAssistantCellConfiguration).

## Discussion

The system provides the text and accessory image for the assistant cell and you can’t change these. Use the [`assistantCellConfiguration`](/documentation/CarPlay/CPListTemplate/assistantCellConfiguration) property to update the cell’s configuration after you initialize the template. CarPlay observes this property and automatically updates your app’s interface in response to any changes.

Your app doesn’t receive a callback when the user selects the assistant cell. Instead, you configure an Intents Extension to handle the type of intent you specify in the cell’s configuration; audio apps must support <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Intents/INPlayMediaIntent> and communication apps must support <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Intents/INStartCallIntent>.
