On-demand Work Item loading

On-demand Work Item Loading dramatically increases the response time when editing large Documents which contain main Work Items. Because it only loads the Work Items that are scrolled into view, it makes editing large Documents more fluid and user friendly.

On-demand Work Item Loading is enabled by default, for Documents containing 200 or more Work Items.

It can still be turned ON or OFF for any Document in its Document sidebar.

Administrators can set system-wide behavior by editing the following property in the polarion.properties file.

The On-demand Work Item Loading Property

com.siemens.polarion.ui.document.lazyLoad.enabledByDefault=200

Possible values for this property are:

  • 200 - The default setting. Enabled for all Documents containing 200+ Work Items. (Administrators can set any numerical value.)

  • true - Will enable it by default for all Documents.

  • false - Will disable it by default for all Documents.

Limitations

When On-demand Work Item Loading is ON :

  • When On-demand Work Item Loading is turned ON, make sure that all the Work Items you wish to copy have finished loading before pasting them somewhere else within the same Document. (This limitation does not apply when copying them to a different Document.)

  • Caption numbers are sometimes replaced with "#" while viewing the document in Polarion. The "#" are replaced with the correct numbers when the document is exported. See the Caption reference topic for details.
