Retrieve fetchxml results on demand

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 60

I'm using fetchxml and liquid code to display a list of records in a table. (Unable to use an entity list as there are multiple N:N relationships present, that make it hard to filter records). Currently, the fetchxml query returns over 5k records which can cause performance issues. Is there a way to fetch only a selected number of records at once and then retrieving more on pagination click event?

    top="10" doesn't work for me.

    You can use count="50" to limit your result set

    Hi, we can use top in FetchXML that allows you to retrieve less than 5k records, this is done at the top of the fetch:

    <fetch top="10">

     

    The FetchXML also contains a limitation from the RetrieveMultiple message, which will only retrieve 5,000 records. I don't think we can bring more results than that in Portals (haven't done it myself)

    I would recommend trying to filter this list to less than 5k records, a tip for paging here would actually keep using entity list so in Liquid you can leverage from the paging feature, and any complex relationship you can query via Liquid while looping your entity list results - not sure about performance though
