Description

Default table size

The default number of data rows to display within the table at one time.  Typically, this numeric value is displayed in the Pagination control associated with the table and can be adjusted at run-time by the application user.

To get an unlimited number of records to be displayed on the page, set the Default Table Size to -1.  Note, however, this will not work in applications where an Add Record, Edit Record, or Show Record page returns to the page containing the table and the table is refreshed.  This generates a “page size” error.

Default sort order

When the table is initially displayed, the data is sorted according to the Default Sort Order.  Application users may change this sort order by clicking on any of the table’s sortable column headings.

Secondary sort order

When the table is initially displayed, the Secondary Sort Order is applied after the Default Sort Order.  Application users may change this sort order by clicking on any of the table’s sortable column headings.

Note: not all columns can be sorted.  Certain underlying database field types, such as very large object fields and binary fields are not sortable.
