Now we will deal with a topic – which is theoretical – but still important to understand: Refreshing. Every time a user opens a Work Center View, Quick View or an Object, the image shown is a snapshot. You have to imagine that many different Users are working in the System and data is permanently changed, new objects are added or obsolete data is deleted. So it is quite conceivable that when you open your Account list – as shown in the example below – and have this list open for a bit longer – that another User changes this data. But you would only see that when you refresh this list. You will find the Refresh Icon  in several places in the system, which always refreshes only the current place. For performance reasons, SAP has decided not to have the system update itself automatically after each change. The refreshing of lists is especially important when several Users work from one worklist and, for example, always work from top to bottom (sorted by Creation Date). This list must always be updated before assigning the next task.
