    Advanced Settings

    FieldDescription
    Delete Batch Size

    When deleting selected records, data will be deleted in batches. Delete Batch Size determines the size of the batches. If left blank the batch size set in System Configuration → System Tuning → Delete Batch Size, is used as the default. The System Configuration value can be overridden with this batch size. 

    Prioritise throughput over ordering

    When this option is ticked records are processes in parallel to optimise performance. This means the order records are processed is nondeterministic.

    When unticked (default), records are processed in the order they are provided.
