Does the sys_ui_list include records from the personalize list?

[miyu]

I understand that the sys_ui_list table manages the list layout for each table.
If I personally change the list layout in Personalize List, is that list layout also managed in sys_ui_list?

Hi @miyu ,

Hope you are doing great.

When you personalize the list layout using the "Personalize List" feature in ServiceNow, it creates a new record in the sys_ui_list table specific to your user profile. This personalized list layout is separate from the standard list layout defined in the sys_ui_list table for each table.

The sys_ui_list table primarily manages the default list layout for each table in ServiceNow. It contains records that define the columns, sorting order, and other settings for the list view of a particular table. These settings are applied by default to all users unless they personalize their list layout.

When you personalize the list layout, ServiceNow creates a new record in the sys_ui_list table with a unique sys_id that corresponds to your user profile. This personalized list layout record overrides the default settings defined in the sys_ui_list table for your user account.
