# Lists

Lists in Infoveave allow you to organize, analyze, and maintain datasets more efficiently. They enable you to generate custom views of your data using SQL queries on any Datasource within Infoveave. You can update, enrich, or selectively modify your data using different ingestion methods. This provides flexibility in managing data without compromising the structure of your queries. Lists make it easier to handle live data, conduct deeper analysis, and share insights in downloadable formats.
