Page through results

A collection tab never loads a whole collection. It reads one page of documents at a time, so even a collection of millions of documents opens quickly and memory use stays flat while you page.

Move between pages

1. Open a collection (see The collection tab).
2. Use the paging buttons of the Result toolbar, or their shortcuts:

The range label shows where you are, for example Documents 51 to 100. An empty result reads No documents.

To know whether a next page exists, the application reads one document more than the page size; it never counts the collection just to page. Last page needs the total, so if it is not known yet it runs Count Documents first.

Change the page size

1. Open the Page size list in the Result toolbar.
2. Pick 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 or 200, or type any whole number from 1 to 10,000 and press Enter.

The page reloads from the first document of the page you were on, so you keep your place. A value outside the range is refused with Page size must be a whole number from 1 to 10,000 and the previous size stays.

Where the starting page size comes from

The first one that is set wins, in the order of the table.

Refresh and stop

• Refresh (Ctrl+R) runs the query again for the current page.
• While a page loads, Refresh becomes Stop. Stopping, or closing the tab, cancels the query on the server too.
• Starting another page while one is loading cancels the first.

Count the documents

Click Count Documents in the status bar. The count runs in the background and can be cancelled (Cancel count, or from the Operations panel). With an empty query an estimate shows at once, marked with ≈, while the exact count runs.
