# Compact Configurator Setup

The **Compact Configurator Setup** allows you to configure a compact version of the List Configurator for display on the **Home page** or in **App Builder**. This compact version enables users to quickly view essential data or records they frequently access, improving efficiency by providing key information at a glance without navigating to the full List.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The compact list can display a maximum of 5 columns.
{% endhint %}
