# GlideListProperties- Global

The GlideListProperties API provides methods to create a list and set list properties. For example, you can define whether a list has a filter, breadcrumbs, and search.

To use this class, you must first instantiate a GlideListProperties object using the constructor.

For an example of this class in the base system, configure a list and select **All**. The tabbed list of options uses the personalize\_all UI page and personalize\_all\_list UI macro to set list properties such as title, context menu, and breadcrumbs.

This API includes methods that provide information about existing GlideList settings and provides options for setting various GlideList properties. For information on how to modify settings in the UI, see [GlideList2 \(g\_list\) - Client](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/c_GlideList2API.md) or [GlideList \(Next Experience\) - Client](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/GlideListClientAPINEx.md).
