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.
