List Settings Admin Permission
nslistservicectl – List Service
The List Service can be enabled per List to process entries and detect page content changes. This can be useful for reviewing list entries and determining if an entry needs to be reviewed, changed, or removed from a List.
The List Service must be enabled in the 'Services' window in order to be used in an enabled List.
The List Service can be configured to process multiple entries at once to improve performance. The async setting can be enabled along with the per_page setting to determine the number of entries to process in each batch.
