BackApp If the instance is a BackApp, then this column displays "Yes". For WebApps, this column is empty.
UI Resources Status For WebApps, indicates whether the UI resource files are in the process of being updated.
  • If the status is "No update required", then the resource files are up to date.

The column also contains the date that the resources were last updated.

For BackApps, this column is always empty.
List Values Status Whether the list values are in the process of being refreshed. For WebApps, the list value refresh consists of creating list value resource files and copying them to the Poetic Web Server. BackApps simply update their cache.
