How to limit a number of entries in view control

Category: Server Side JavaScript
Platform: All
Release: 8.5.1

Replies: 2

My database contains a view with several thousand document in it.

I want, however, using view control, to limit display to just first 50 documents.

I understand that I can hide pager and limit a page rows to 50 to achieve this, but I am concerned of performance impact because of XPages loading complete view entries in background and the n just displaying 50.

Any help appreciated.

Use a repeat control...

- I can't address view controls because I avoid them like anthrax, but a repeat control has an attribute specifically for this purpose ... and it defaults to 30 without bothered to notify you. Won't impact you setting it to 50, but it does impact anything that uses a repeat control without actually setting a limit.

Hope this helps...

Re: How to limit a number of entries in view control

My question was more how to do it using the view control itself without using other controls to mimic a view control.
