Let’s talk about the dreaded spinning wheel we all hate waiting on. If you’ve ever waited (and waited, and waited) for a large listview to load, what we’re about to share just might be your new best friend. ERP data management is no small feat but by adjusting the threshold limit for listview rows, you can control your load speed and dodge delays. Here’s why it matters: data downtime can lead to operational disruptions, affecting everything from customer interactions to supply chain management. Taking control of your SYSPRO listview settings keeps everything running smoothly.
In this SYSPRO blog, we’ll walk you through how to adjust the threshold limit for listview rows (and don’t worry, it’s simpler than you think). Whether you need a warning, a prompt, or a hard limit on data, you’ll soon have SYSPRO working your way.
Why Adjust the Threshold Limit?
SYSPRO’s default settings aim to handle data efficiently, but sometimes, your workload demands a small change. Adjusting the threshold limit helps you take more control over your ERP data management by letting you:
- Prevent slowdowns when loading large datasets.
- Get a heads-up when you’re about to hit a data wall.
- Choose how the system handles overflow, whether that’s a warning, a prompt, or stopping altogether.
Here’s How to Do It
Step 1: Open System-Wide Personalization
Navigate to SYSPRO Ribbon bar > Administration > System-wide Personalization to open the Personalization window.
Step 2: Find the Listviews Section
Scroll to the Listviews options fields – this is where it starts to get good.
Step 3: Adjust the Settings
- Set your threshold limit: Enter the maximum number of rows to display before a threshold is applied.
- Choose your threshold option: Decide how the system should respond:
- Give warning message
- Prompt operator to continue
- Do not add more rows
Real-World Scenarios
Example 1: Set a Warning
Threshold limit: 20 rows
Threshold option: Give warning message
You’ll see a pop-up warning once your listview hits 20 rows. It’s like SYSPRO saying, “Hey, heads-up!”
Example 2: Prompt to Continue
Threshold limit: 20 rows
Threshold option: Prompt operator to continue
This setting gives you a choice: click “Yes” to load more rows or “No” to stick with the current view. Perfect for when you want control without surprises.
Example 3: Hard Stop at the Limit
Threshold limit: 20 rows
Threshold option: Do not add more rows
Here, SYSPRO won’t load a single row beyond your set limit. Ideal for keeping your system snappy and focused.
