Page Index & Custom Element Reuse, including Datasheets

CommonSpot defaults the limit of records displayed for a custom element, datasheet or a page index element to 2500 records or pages.

At Render Time

• When one of those elements returns more than 2500, the data set is truncated and only the first 2500 are rendered.
• An error is placed in the site error log for reference. Keep in mind that when truncation occurs, the data may not be ordered correctly.
• This feature is designed to prevent a potentially damaging set of filter criteria to display a quantity of records that could jeopardize site performance,or cause a crash.
• The default setting may be increased (not recommended) or decreased (recommended).

Saving Filter Criteria

• Should a filter be saved that would cause the limit set here to be exceeded, a warning will display and prevent saving the filter. Update the filter criteria so that the returned items is less than the setting.
