How to Increase the Items Limit of Connected ShortPoint Elements (Classic Experience)

By default, SharePoint Library / List has an item display limit of 30. As a result, ShortPoint Design Elements connected to a SharePoint Library / List with more than 30 items will only display a maximum of 30 items.


Item Limit

This article will demonstrate how you can increase the item limit of connected ShortPoint Design Elements.

Prerequisites

  • You must have the latest version of ShortPoint installed for your SharePoint environment.
  • You must be a ShortPoint Designer with an active license.
  • You must have a SharePoint List / Library with more than 30 items.
  • You must have a ShortPoint Design Element connected to the SharePoint List / Library with more than 30 items.

Increasing the Item Limit

There are two ways to customize the item limit. Follow the option that best fit your needs:


Option 1: Using ShortPoint Connect Items Limit Field


This option will allow you to edit the Items limit of a specific ShortPoint Design Element in the Connect tab.

Step 2: Modify the Items Limit in the Connect tab


Go to the Connected tab.

Then, click Disconnect to modify the Items Limit field.

NOTE: By default, the Items Limit field will have a value of 0. This means that it will not override the Item Limit in SharePoint view because there is no value added to it.

In the Items Limit field, add the value you prefer. For this tutorial, we will set the value to 50.

NOTE: If you modify the Item Limit inside the Modify View page and also provided another value in the Items Limit field in the Connect tab, the Items Limit field inside the Connect tab will override the value of the Item Limit of the view itself. (e.g. If in Modify View, the Item Limit = 100 and in Conncet tab, the Items Limit = 50, ShortPoint will only render 50 items).


Once you are satisfied with the value you set, click Connect to re-establish the connection.
