Hello all,
A quick question. Is there a way we can display all the records of a related list or an embedded list in one page? Default is to show 20 records at once, then we have to navigate to the next page to see the rest. Can we not have a limit on that number? For regular list view of tables, we can set to show different no. of records like shown below, but not for related and embedded lists.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Robert is correct. There's even an option to set the display of related lists on demand or after the form loads since related lists can have a negative impact on usability if they take more than a couple seconds to display.

Thank you so much Chuck. If you don't mind, one other question. (related to these lists, so posting here) Is there a way to sort the records in the embedded/related list manually? Like how we do in the slush bucket(when we configure form layout), where we move up/down fields?

Hi Veena,
I got a little confused reading this. You started out talking about sorting records (done the same way by clicking on the column headers) and then switched to sorting the columns.
You can sort the column order either personally (using the cog icon on the left) or as a system default using Configure> List Control (same as any regular list.)

I actually mentioned that form layout just as an example. The requirement is, we have a no. of records in the embedded list. We want users to be able to manually sort the 'records' in the embedded list (not columns). When I say sort, not sort by a particular column, but manually push a certain record up or down to place it in the required position in the list.

Hi Veena,
With the default list layouts for lists, related lists, and embedded lists, this is not possible at this point.
I love the idea and invite you to open an enhancement request! Our product managers DO listen.
