Hello Guys,
Recently, I came across a situation where an entity was taking too much of
a time(browser asked me to either wait or kill) while loading/searching
results in the Webtools application. The entity had close to 5M records,
and I checked the server responded timely but the rendering of the screen
was taking time.
When I explored the issue I came across a macro which renders the
pagination on the screen, and it had a code block which was causing the
screen rendering delay.
{code}
<#assign x=(listSize/viewSize)?ceiling>
<#list 1..x as i>
<#if i == (viewIndex+1)><option selected="selected"
value="<#else><option value="</#if>${i-1}">${i}</option>
</#list>
{code}
This code seems logical enough to me, and what I gather from this is that
the list will render a select box with 250,000 options.
I would like to propose a change in this UI/UX from select box to an input
text box so a user can navigate to any page, similar to a navigation input
box in a PDF document reader application.
Please let me know your thoughts on this and share some more ideas to how
we can improve/resolve this issue. Looking forward to your replies!
Thanks & Regards,
Devanshu Vyas.
