Specify the Number of Items Shown in the Source Tree

You can specify the number of items to show in the source tree for the current session to make it easier to use. The number of items retrieved is shown next to the name of the parent item.

In the source tree, the Search icon appears at the end of the list if more items exist than can be shown at once.

By default, the maximum number of items shown in the source tree is 50. Your administrator may set a different value for optimum performance, depending on the size of the data source. For more information, see the IBM® Cognos® Business Intelligence Administration and Security Guide.

Procedure

  1. Right-click an item in the source tree.
  2. Click Set Number of Items to Show.
  3. Specify the number to show and the scope options.
  4. Click OK.
    Tip: To restore the maximum number of items to the default, repeat steps 1 to 2 and click Reset to default limit to show.
