You can enable hierarchical lists to make data from related lists directly accessible
from within a v2 list.

## Before you begin

Role required: personalize_control

## About this task

Hierarchical lists enable a user to view the contents of the related lists of a
record without leaving the record list form.  
Note:  
You cannot enable a hierarchical list view for an embedded list. Hierarchical lists are not supported in List v3, even if they are enabled.

## Procedure

1. Right-click any column header, and select ConfigureList Control from the context menu.
2. Select the Hierarchical lists check box in the List Control dialog box and then click Submit or Update.
3. Click the arrow for a record number to display the related lists for the record.  
* **[Use list controls in hierarchical lists](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/afA~sJA_n5Tcw5EnCUkRGw)**   
  By default, no related list tabs are visible in a hierarchical list and only a single related list is displayed at a time. The column headers are hidden by default.
