 * Hi,
 * Is it possible to show a timestamp for the list with live updates?
 * It’s kind off a must have and strange it’s not in there (or I’m not looking good).
 * Cheers,
   nathan

 * Are you referring to the list as a whole, or for each item? Here’s a quick video
   showing how to add a timestamp to each item: [https://www.loom.com/share/d9a3e3ba356649e79b7152e4aea9d2a0?sid=a131c853-66ca-44bc-8a13-cf1c6549a09f](https://www.loom.com/share/d9a3e3ba356649e79b7152e4aea9d2a0?sid=a131c853-66ca-44bc-8a13-cf1c6549a09f)
 * I would suggest creating a Layout Template if you want to use the same layout
   multiple times. You can also set it as the default layout for default item types
   on your Ditty > Settings > Layout Defaults.

 * Hi Jos, that’s exactly what I needed!
 * Thanks for the fast reply.
 * One more question: is it possible to create one Ditty and show it in two different
   views?
   One view is a list through shortcode on a page and the other is a ticker
   which will be on the whole website.
 * I’ve created two different Ditties which do exactly that, but I want my client
   to be able to just having to add an item to one Ditty instead of having to add
   them to two different ones.

 * Hi,
 * Nevermind that last question. It’s not needed anymore.

 * [@natedanielz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/natedanielz/), sorry about
   that. I though for sure I had responded to your last question. I know I wrote
   a whole response out but must have never submitted it.
 * But, quickly, yes you can use the same Ditty with different displays. You just
   need to create a display template for each display you want to use, then in the
   shortcode add: **display=33** (the 33 would be the post id of the display template
   you want to use).
