You can use the pagination feature to view large tables of data distributed across multiple pages. This feature enables you to organize and present large datasets efficiently, enhancing user experience and performance. This customization improves the browsing experience by enabling you to manage the information density according to your preference. It also reduces the page loading time. These settings are included in the SCM installer and are available, by default.

You can configure the following in the Web.config file:

• Number of records to be displayed in the table on each page
• Number of pages in which the records is to be distributed
• Option to go to the first, last, and remaining pages

The default configuration values in Web.config are:

<add key="GridAllowPaging" value="Default: false, BRWPCT: true, BRWFLD: true"/>
<add key="GridPageSize" value="Default: 10, BRWPCT: 50, BRWFLD: 15"/>
<add key="GridPageButtonCount" value="Default: 10, BRWPCT: 50, BRWFLD: 10"/>
<add key="GridFirstPageText" value="First"/>
<add key="GridLastPageText" value="Last"/>
<add key="GridAllowUsersChangeSettings" value="true"/>

The following table defines the elements:

Apart from the settings available in Web.config, the pagination settings are also available in the SCM application. These settings can be configured by users with Brainware admin role. Changes done to the Web.config file, results in users getting signed out and requires you to sign-in to the SCM application again. To avoid getting signed out, a user may choose to configure the application settings available in SCM, instead of modifying the Web.config. However, these application settings are applied only during the active session of the user. If the user logs out of the application, the application settings for pagination are reset to Web.config settings. SCM uses the application default values also in scenarios where the config default values are deleted or removed.

To modify the SCM application:

1. On the SCM home page, click the Settings icon. The Settings dialog box is displayed.
   
2. Modify the settings, required. The settings are:
   • Allow Paging: Enter true to enable pagination or false to disable pagination. The default value for this field is Default: false, BRWPCT: true, BRWFLD: true.
