Does "updateable" exist? I couldn't find the word in the dictionary (Oxford) but found some entries on internet. Any other word/expression I could use? Many thanks!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Ann for your answering but this is not the answer I'm looking for. It's not "actualizable" in that sense, it does not mean that can be upgraded but that your add data to the system, that you can update it. Maybe I shouldn't have put it under the computer category. Do you have any other suggestion? Thanks

agree  Peter Clews: Certainly, I think updatable is more likely than upgradable (see my discussion entry). But see also my own answer.

real-time


Explanation:
Anothe option. Whether "real-time" or "updatable" is more appropriate would depend on how promptly or how often the information is updated.
