Parameters

Keyword Type Description

startIndex

Integer

Index of the array in which to start returning values for the subset. Valid values include those greater than zero.

batchSize

Integer

The number of items to return. Valid values include those greater than or equal to -1. See Using the batchSize parameter for more information about the allowed values.

sort

SortInfo Array

Valid values include null, an empty array of SortInfo, or an array of SortInfo where <SortInfo>.field is the name of a field on the input array elements or "dot" notation for a nested field.

Returns

PagingInfo

Usage considerations

Using the startIndex parameter

If the startIndex value is greater than the total number of items in the list the PagingInfo value is applied to, a null array is returned as the data.

Using the batchSize parameter

This table shows the allowed batchSize values and what is returned when the function is evaluated.

batchSize value Returns
-1 All items are returned. This value is only supported in a!queryEntity().
0 or null Only the totalCount and startIndex of the array are returned. This value is only supported in a!queryEntity().
>1 Returns the specified number of results, starting at the startIndex.

Using the sort parameter

If the sort value is not null or empty, the function your PagingInfo is applied to returns a subset of the input sorted by the field value of the SortInfo. If the value is null or empty, it returns an unsorted subset of the input.
