When running a SmartList, the number of records returned by the SmartList is shown in the lower-left corner. By default, SmartLists have a record limit of 1,000 records. The idea behind this default limit is to prevent long running SmartList queries from slowing down the system. However, sometimes it makes sense for queries to return more than a thousand records. For example, if a firm knows that they have more than a thousand fixed assets, it doesn't make sense to limit fixed assets' queries to a thousand, since most of the time this number will need to be adjusted. Similarly, many companies easily have more than a thousand bank transactions in a given month.
There are a few options for increasing or decreasing this record limit including adjusting it on the fly, adjusting the limit for a favorite, and setting a new default limit. We'll take a look at all of these options in this recipe.
