The Extended list entry is only displayed when the list contains more entries than defined for the list in the Number of entries field.

Number of entries

In the Number of entries field, you can enter how many entries you wish to display in the compact list. 7 data records are displayed in the default settings.

Initial number of entries

In the Initial number of entries field, you define the height of the element.

The entered value is taken into account when loading the data record. If for example, you enter 7, then the element is already displayed during loading with the size that is required to display 7 data records. Thus, the size of the element, even after loading, remains unchanged.

We recommend entering a value in this field if you often work with links and extensive dossiers. With extensive dossiers, loading the dossier can take some time. By defining the initial number of entries, you can ensure that the order of elements does not change after loading is complete.

The Placeholder text is displayed if the list is empty. You can individually customize the placeholder text.
