Configure length/size/amount of results for a query result user prompt

Is there a way to control how many query results are returned, using pages (arrows) to reach additional / overflow results?

The case for me is selecting users.  Even when typing part of a user's name, there are still many results.  Limiting users displayed to 5 per page would save me space / real estate on the form.

    I'm thinking you'd put something like this in your custom.js file:

    $(document).ready(function (){
	//set request offering grids to 5 items per page
	if(href.indexOf("ServiceCatalog/RequestOffering") > -1){
		console.log("I'm setting the grids to 5 items per page.");
		$('[data-role=grid]').each(function (index){
   			$(this).data('kendoGrid').dataSource.pageSize(5);
		});
	}
});
    That should set the grids on a request offering page to show a max of 5 items per page

    While you can't really do that in the prompt itself, you can use filter criteria prior to the prompt to filter the results further.

    Basically, you'd add 1 - 2 text fields before the query prompt (think first name, last name), then you can use the information entered into those fields (called tokens) within your query prompt criteria. This would filter the results by both fields prior to even getting down to the query prompt itself.

    Any controls available for displayed size of the query results on the request form?

    I'm assuming you mean the number of results returned? Or do you mean the sizing of the text and rows?

    Yes, results returned.

    Cool, thats very helpful, and I consider an answer to my question. Additional logic could be added to only apply to a particular request offering page (as an alternative to all request offering pages) ?

    Hi Seth, when testing the javascript snippet, my portal pages load blank.  Does this feedback indicate any potential modifications that I could re-evaluate?
