OK. So this seems intentional. But I feel like I don't understand all the
reasoning behind it.
Here are my current thoughts:
- If OpenMRS hides older data from the user, it should be obvious to the user.
The only indication is the little message at the bottom "Showing 1 to 20 out of
145 entries".
- For us using the workaround 'Administration - Manage Encounters' almost
equals "old encounter data lost". I don't want to have the average user dealing
with the Admin page at all.
- The paging seems like a client-side paging (as opposed to load the page on
the server and only send the chunks of data). So in my understanding this
paging is only a 'visual' effect without any impact on performance (ignoring
rendering time of the browser). If this is the case, then the paging seems a
little bit redundant.
- I see the point about a patient with 40000+ encounters. But this is either a
very sick patient (...) or a clear test case for development. Not sure if such
a test case ('corner case') should dictate behavior for 'real world' patients.
But I understand that 100 would be as an arbitrary number as 150 or 500.
I assume that a 'real (server-side) paging' is difficult/impossible (not sure
if I've seen this anywhere else in OpenMRS).
Darius, how would your 'hacky encounter search' look like?
Ideally the use of OpenMRS shouldn't differ whether a patient has 99 or 101
encounters. Is there a way to at least make this limit configurable (so that I
can choose my own arbitrary maximum)?
