PagingInfo
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.
The batchSize parameter determines the number of items to return. Depending on the data you are querying, the valid values for a batchSize may vary.
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 (no data). This value is only supported in a!queryEntity() and a!queryRecordType where the source is a database or Salesforce. |
>1 | Returns the specified number of results, starting at the startIndex. |
If the batchSize is 0, the total count of records will be returned, but no data.
If the batchSize value is -1, all items are returned. When People Functions contain PagingInfo, the batchSize parameter must be greater than or equal to zero; -1 is not a valid option.
A batch size of 0 cannot be used for the following record types:
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.
