One of the cool new AMP features for 5.1 - which continues to spread across the site for 5.2 and 5.3 - is pagination. It’s something that a lot of our customers have asked for, but it’s also something that generated a few support calls.

When you load a page in AMP like Reports–>Generated AMP shows you a list of all of the items on the page. When that’s a very long list — like all of your reports, or all of the APs in AMP — the page can take a long time to load. Beginning in 5.1 we’ve begun to paginate lists in AMP. That means that big pages can take a lot less time to load. This will continue in 5.3 and beyond.

Now the reports page has a pagination bar at the top. It includes the number of reports displayed on the first page (1-20) and the total number of reports available, as well as the total number of pages of reports and navigation toggles to move between pages. It looks like this:

What some of our customers didn’t realize is that you can still see all of your reports on one page — some people really find that useful. All you have to do is click on the number of reports per page, which is a blue link. That will give a dropdown menu that gives you the option to show other numbers of reports per page, including all records on one page.

We’ll continue to paginate more lists in upcoming AMP releases, and we’re also working on a way to set pagination preferences so AMP will remember how many reports you want displayed per page.
