Configure live updates at the list page level without affecting other lists in your Configurable Workspace.

## Before you begin

To configure live updates for lists, you must enable the glide.lists.live_list_enabled system property. For information on enabling the system property, see [Enable live updates for lists](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/B0_ONNUw_2XdYsztm5jizg "Add a system property that enables you to configure live updates for lists.").

Role required: admin

## About this task

Live updates enable list data to refresh automatically or manually without reloading the page.  
You can configure live updates using the following options:

Template-level configuration
:   Configure live updates at the template level in UI Builder.
:   UI Builder enables you to choose how live updates behave across a list template in your Configurable Workspace. The property Let users control live updates has three menu options:

    * Never

      The default selection that disables live updates.
    * Only by refreshing

      An indicator displays on the refresh button when updates are available. The list will only update once refreshed manually.
    * Automatically

      Live updates display automatically without refreshing.
