Set Max Records

Modified on Thu, 22 Feb at 12:42 AM

Max Records is usually set by your System Administrator to apply across the business to a number which balances performance with convenience.

But a user can change the max. records on a session basis. This topic explains how to specify the maximum number of records displayed in searches across LawMaster. You can set them in each individual module or for all modules until you exit LawMaster.

Set for all searches until you exit LawMaster

1- In the File Menu, click Set Max Records.

2- In the Max Session Records field, do one of the following and then click OK:

>>Click the up or down arrows to change the number of records.

>>Double-click and type the number.

3- The Status Bar at the bottom of the Lawyer's Workbench confirms the settings are reset.

4- When you do a search the maximum records you set displays on the Common Grid Toolbar with the number of results found.

Set for individual modules such as matter, entity, or folio searches

1- In the common grid toolbar, use the arrows to select the maximum number of records to return.

How do I know how many results are found in my search?

When you complete a search, the number of results found display in the grid toolbar next to No. of Hits.

ℹ️ The lower the number of results the quicker the search finishes. Alternatively, the higher the number of results the longer the search takes.

Selections remain until you exit LawMaster and then, next time you login, return to the default number your system administrator has set—this may be 50 or 100 records.

How do I know if all results are found?

If you have set your maximum records option to less than the available number of search results, an icon displays alerting you there are

more.

To see more results, increase the maximum record amount.
