Max Records

The "Maximum Records" filter allows you to specify the upper limit on the number of search results to be included in the output. This filter is optional, with a default value of 100 records, but you can set it to any value within the range of 25 to 1000. By adjusting this parameter, you can control the volume of data returned, balancing comprehensiveness with manageability.

Maximum Records Filter

1. Purpose: The maximum records filter is designed to limit the number of search results returned, ensuring that the output is both relevant and manageable. This is particularly useful when dealing with large datasets or extensive search results.

2. Default Setting: If no specific value is provided, the filter defaults to including up to 100 records in the output. This default setting provides a moderate amount of data, balancing depth with ease of analysis.

3. Range Specification: You can specify any value between 25 and 1000 for the maximum number of records. This flexibility allows you to tailor the search results to your specific needs, whether you require a smaller, more focused dataset or a larger, more comprehensive collection of records.

4. Use Cases:

   • Focused Searches: For highly targeted searches where precision is key, setting a lower maximum (e.g., 25-100 records) can help ensure that only the most relevant results are included.

   • Comprehensive Searches: For broader searches where you need to gather extensive data (e.g., market research, trend analysis), setting a higher maximum (e.g., 500-1000 records) can provide a more complete picture.

5. Performance Considerations: Higher values may result in more extensive data processing and longer retrieval times. Consider the performance and processing capacity when setting the maximum number of records, especially for very high values.

6. Analysis and Reporting: The number of records included in the output can impact the ease of analysis and reporting. Smaller datasets are generally easier to analyze quickly, while larger datasets can offer more insights but may require more time and resources to process.

7. Iterative Approach: You may start with a lower number of records to quickly assess the relevance and quality of the results. Based on initial findings, you can adjust the maximum records setting to refine the search and obtain the desired volume of data.

By utilizing the maximum records filter, you can effectively manage the scope of your search results, ensuring that the output aligns with your specific requirements and constraints. This filter enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of data retrieval and analysis, providing flexibility to accommodate different search objectives and contexts.
