For performance reasons, an interval timer was added in Litium 7.5 for how often a workflow or a smart product list is updated in the background. By default this is set to every 5 minutes (300 seconds). This can be changed by adding the following app settings ([API](https://docs.litium.com/api-reference/api?product=Litium&version=7.6&xref=Litium.Configuration.BackgroundEngineConfig.ProductEngineConfig)) to Web.config:

```auto
<add key="Litium:BackgroundEngine:Product:WorkflowSynchronizationInterval" value="30"/>
<add key="Litium:BackgroundEngine:Product:DynamicProductListSynchronizationInterval" value="30"/>

```

The time is in seconds.
