# Add Child

A new child list linking feature has been added, allowing you to view related child records within a single list screen. If the object assigned to a list configurator has child objects that are related through a master-detail or lookup relationship, you can link the list configurator that is based on the child object as a child list. This allows users to intuitively view both the records in the current list and the related child records in one list.
