Background:

We've implemented, among others, two entities, accounts and transaction.
Those are related to each other with a relationship, which is represented by a bridge table, and a respective traversal.
On the account details page we've placed a related objects control, leveraging that traversal to display the transaction being related to an account.
There are a few accounts with more than 2000 transactions related to it.
Visual Investigator cannot display those transactions in the related objects grid:

Changing the "Node expansion size limit (hard limit)", which is 2000 per default, to 5000 doesn't help, because there will not be more than 2000 transactions fetched and displayed, probably due to some hardcoded restriction.

We investigated the API-Calls in the background and as the main player we identified the path-search-api (POST svi-sand/paths?limit=2000&expansionLimit=2000 with a filter in the Payload)
According to the documentation (pathsSearch | SAS Developer Portal) a start and limit parameter is available suggesting that paging might be possible, but it is not used by the Related Objects control.

 

Our Change request:

Our suggestion is to offer an option to activate paging for the Related Objects control to support displaying accounts with more than 2000 transactions related to it.
Sorting, Filtering & Exporting might only adjustable in the control setup & not avalable to endusers;

Hello, 

 

Thanks for your product suggestion. The VI product team are reviewing this request and will provide an update shortly (apologies for the delay in replying to your original post - unfortunately it had been routed incorrectly within the system). 

 

Please could you advise which version of Visual Investigator you are using? 

 

Thanks

Susan

Hi @dresslers 

 

In the December 2025 (2025.12) release of VI on Viya 4 we made a change to use the network expansion limit for the related objects control rather than the previous hard-coded limit of 2000 items. 

 

Please could you advise what version of Visual Investigator you are currently using? 

 

Thanks,

Susan
