When using pagination in the Universal GUI it has some disadvantages:
- It takes up space on screen, specially annoying when the list is not the full size of the screen.
- When changing filter/sorting you can find yourself suddenly at page X. But you only realize this once you have scrolled all the way up and cannot find the first record.
Of course there is the option to disable pagination, but that could lead to performance issues.
Even when disabled, Indicium will use pagination of 1000 rows (unless exempted) for executing SQL statements, however Universal only shows the data once everything is loaded.
I would like to see an option that has the same performance advantages of pagination without the disadvantages of using pages in the GUI. For example like this community works, you scroll down and at the bottom of the loaded rows, it has a button to ‘Show more’ rows. Of course it would work even better if it automatically loads more rows when you have reached the bottom.
An alternative could be that when pagination is turned off, Universal GUI already shows the first 1000 lines while Indicium is loading the rest of the data in the background.
