Controls on the Application Options page
Control Description Default value
Export Grid Delimiter Character that is used to delimit each record in the result set when you export the query results to a file. |
Result Set Column Width Maximum number of characters that display in a column in the result set.
Important: Changing this setting affects the entire HCL Compass website and can affect performance. The HCL Compass Web application is optimized to request the minimum amount of data. If a query includes a long description field, only the number of characters that are specified by this option display.
200
Maximum Multi-Record Update Page Size Maximum number of records that display on the result-set page for a multirecord update. This value represents the total number of records that the multirecord update runs on.
Important: Setting a large value for this option can affect HCL Compass Web server performance and availability.
  • If this value is greater than 100, you can perform a multirecord update on query-result-set pages larger than the standard result-set page.
  • If this value is less than 100, the multirecord update might be limited to a smaller page size than the result-set page size that is configured in the web client user preferences.
  • If this value is 0, the multirecord update feature is disabled.
100
Load Initial Record from Result Set If selected, the query result set is written to a separate page, and the first record in the result set displays on a new page.

If cleared, the result set displays on a new page.
