Users who want to learn about the new report retrieval limits.

No elevated permissions are required.

To improve system responsiveness and ensure a consistent experience across the platform, a new limit has been introduced on the number of reports that can be retrieved in a single request. This update addresses key performance challenges associated with handling extremely large datasets.

1. Feature overview: Report retrieval cap

A maximum threshold of 10,000 records per request has been implemented in the report register. This means:

• Users can retrieve up to 10,000 reports in a single query.
• If the total number of records exceeds 10,000, the count will display as 10,000+.
• To access more specific results, users should apply filters or use search.

2. System behaviours

2.1. Before the update

• No limit on report retrieval.
• Users could access all records without filters.
• Pagination displayed the exact total count of available reports.

2.2. After the update

• Retrieval capped at 10,000 records per request.
• Total count displays as 10,000+ when the threshold is exceeded.
• Filters and search are required to narrow down larger datasets.

3. Performance benefits

This change delivers several important improvements:

• Improved system stability by reducing resource strain from large queries.
• Faster and more predictable response times for report retrieval.
• Consistent user experience with reliable filtering, sorting, and pagination.
• Reduced operational risk from performance bottlenecks.
• Enhanced scalability to support growing data volumes efficiently.
