Hello everyone,
I want to understand how a grid field works when using a sync-enabled record as the data source.
Let’s say I have 100 records.
If I display 10 records per page, there will be 10 pages in total. Now, when I click on the Next icon in pagination, will the grid make a separate call to the database to fetch the next set of 10 records, or will it use Appian’s cache memory to display the data?

When a user clicks Next in a grid backed by a sync-enabled Record Type, Appian sends a new query with updated paging information (startIndex and batchSize). The data is retrieved from the Appian Data Server, which stores the synchronized record data. Appian does not load all records into browser memory; instead, each page request retrieves only the required subset of records from Data Server, making pagination efficient and scalable.
Thank you for your time and response VarunTejaGurrapu .
