    About this task

    When you add a large number of records to a related list, you can focus on other tasks while the record addition loads in the background.

    If asynchronous record addition isn't required for all multi-record associator modals, use declarative actions to enable asynchronous record addition for select modals. For instructions, see Set up asynchronous record addition for select modals.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to sys_properties.list.
    2. Add the glide.ui.mra.async system property.

      For more information on adding system property, see Add a system property.

      1. Select New.
      2. Add a system property named glide.ui.mra.async.
      3. Set the Value to true.
      4. Select Submit.
    3. Add the glide.ui.mra.threshold system property.
      1. Select New.
      2. Add a system property named glide.ui.mra.threshold.
      3. Specify how many records can be added before asynchronous record addition occurs.
        The default is 100 records.
      4. Select Submit.
