Listing Objects (Catalog Pages)

Whenever you trigger an action within the Web Client in your web browser, the web application running on a web server generates an HTML page, which is then transferred and displayed into your web browser. Valuemation catalogs opened in the Workspace InfoObject display data stored in database tables, potentially containing large numbers of objects. To speed up the performance of the Web Client, only limited amount of objects - a catalog page - is loaded and displayed in a catalog at once thus making generating and transferring of each individual HTML page faster.

Listing Objects

To step through pages of the catalog, the following Listing controls can be used:

• |< Go to the first page
• << Go to previous page
• >> Go to next page

• >| Go to the last page

Use these listing buttons to step through pages of the catalog. See also the Main controls topic.

Size of the Catalog Page

The number of business objects (rows) shown on one page of a catalog is determined by the vmweb.seekedread.pagesize parameter set in the web.xml configuration file and the 'Initial load' and 'Maximum load' parameters set in the Global or User settings.

The number of objects displayed in one catalog page is then:

• vmweb.seekedread.pagesize

  Initial load < vmweb.seekedread.pagesize < Maximum load

• Initial load

  vmweb.seekedread.pagesize < Initial load < Maximum load

• Maximum load

  Initial load < Maximum load < vmweb.seekedread.pagesize

Note: These parameters should be set by the administrator of the web application. Note for the administrator: See also the Incremental Data Retrieval section of Valuemation Admin documentation.

Position in the Catalog and Number of Objects

The range of objects displayed in the current catalog page and the total number of objects in the opened catalog is displayed in the catalog title in the following format: [range of objects / total number of objects] : number of selected objects
