Setting the members display limits

The members display limit specifies the maximum number of members to load in the data tree nodes for each fetch request.

A fetch request occurs when first expanding a node with members, or clicking Load more.

For dimensional sources, members are found in the Members folder, or as child items of a Member node. For relational sources, members are child items of a column.

About this task

The members display limits are specified at the data module level and apply to members of all sources that the data module is comprised of.

Procedure

  1. Open the module properties by clicking the properties icon Properties icon in the application bar.
  2. On the General tab, specify the Members display limit property by using one of the following options:
    • Set the limit

      Set the maximum number of members to display in data tree nodes (hierarchies, levels, members, and columns) for each fetch request.

      Enter an integer number between 1 and 3000 in the Members limit field. The default number is 15.

      For More members, specify how to display members over the specified limit. Choose one of the following options:
      • Load more

        The Load more link is added to the data tree node below the members that are already loaded. When the link is clicked, the next set of members is loaded. The number of members in the set is equal to the number that is specified as the members limit.

      • Search

        The Search link is added to the data tree node below the members that are already loaded. Users can use this link to search for members.

    • System limit

      The system limit is to load up to 3000 members per one fetch request.

    • Search link only

      No members are displayed in the data tree. Instead, the Search link is added to the data tree that the users can use to search for members.

  3. Save the data module.

Results

The members display limit affects members in the data module, as well as dashboards, explorations, and stories that use the data module as their source.
