# Set Active Index

## Overview

![The Set Active Index Node.](/files/EeoI2okyBxsM2F9lBqUe)

The **Set Active Index Node** sets the value of a **List's** `Active Index` **Attribute**.

The `Active Index` of a [**List**](/incari-studio/2023.1/objects-and-types/scene2d-objects/gui/list.md) is the place of the active item in its order. Indexing starts at 0, so if the very first element of the **List** is the active item, the `Active Index` would be 0.

[**Scope**](/incari-studio/2023.1/toolbox/overview.md#scopes): **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**.
