Custom listings

Recommendation: Do not modify private custom listings. Instead, if you encounter an issue with a private custom listing, delete it or discontinue its use, and create a new one.
Rationale: Private custom listings become unreliable when they are created ad hoc and then modified.
Additional information: Private custom listings are intended for individual, short-term use. We recommend that you use the Test Listing feature when you build a custom listing.

Recommendation: Do not modify a public listing after you promote it to a new lifecycle. Instead, if you encounter an issue with a public listing, delete it or discontinue its use, and create a new one.
Rationale: Custom listings become unreliable when they are modified after promotion.
Additional information: To make a change to a public listing that you promoted, you can copy the existing listing, and modify the copy.

Recommendation: When you create a custom listing, do not include columns from staging tables as its source.
Rationale: Staging tables are intermediate steps in a data transformation. They are not intended to be used for data review.
Additional information: If you use staging tables, we recommend that you use them to explicitly define the intermediate tables in a separate staging model, as specified in the Guidance for DMW Implementation and Configuration document.

We don't recommend using staging tables due to the limitations of the feature.
