Limit items in Polaris and third-party lists

To specify the maximum number of items to display in the Polaris and third-party web parts that are updated automatically, such as “Most Circulated.”

Note:
You must set the limit at the system level. You set the limits for Polaris PowerPAC Children’s Edition separately from Polaris PowerPAC, but the procedure is the same.

  1. In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the Profiles folder for the system, and select the PowerPAC tab (or Children’s PAC tab) in the details view.
  2. Double-click Dashboards: Web part construction. The Web Part Editor dialog box appears.

  1. On the Polaris and 3rd Party tabbed page, select the heading in the Web Parts list for the web part you want to limit.
  2. Type the number of items (elements) in the Total Listing Rows box to display for the selected list, and select Save.

Tip:
The maximum number is 100 for Polaris and 3rd Party web parts, except the New Titles web part. The maximum for this web part is 9,999.

Type 0, indicating no limit, in the Total Listing Rows box to display all items available for the automated list. For the web part New Titles, a setting of 0 in the Total Listing Rows box will display all titles added to the catalog in the past 31 days in each New Title category. Any other setting limits the number of new titles in each category to that number. The zero setting has the same effect on the On-Order Items web part. For more information about these web parts, see Automatic Web Parts.

  1. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each Polaris and third-party web part you are using.
  2. Select OK. The Web Part Editor dialog box closes.
  3. Select File > Save. Your new settings are effective when the automatic lists are updated.
