# Vizpads

Under **Settings → Application Settings → Vizpad,** admins can fine-tune how users interact with visualizations and filters, especially when working with large datasets or live data connections. Below is a breakdown of each configurable option:

### **Editing the Vizpad**

* **Data limitation for queries**\
  Limits the number of records fetched per query to improve performance and reduce latency. This helps avoid performance issues when querying large datasets.
* **Default data size**\
  Controls the default mode to load data in Vizpad **Edit** mode.\
  When enabled, a dropdown appears allowing users to toggle between:

  * **Sample Data**: Queries only a subset of the dataset for faster performance. Ideal for large or live-connected datasets.
  * **Full Data**: Queries the entire dataset for more accurate results.

  By default, **"Sample Data"** is selected.
* **Vizpad batch count**\
  Defines how many charts or widgets get rendered in one batch when loading a Vizpad. A lower number optimizes load time and reduces resource strain on large dashboards.
* **Enable bulk filter config apply**\
  Enables a staging mode for applying filters in the **Configuration** pane. Useful for large or live dataset—by reducing the number of backend calls. Instead of updating the chart after every single filter adjustment, users can:
  * Apply all filter changes at once.
  * Undo recent changes before applying.

### **Filters**

**Display "Apply" and "Undo" Buttons**\
When enabled, this option adds **Apply** and **Undo** buttons under **"Apply Filters"** in the Vizpad.

* Users can select multiple filter values before applying them, preventing intermediate queries from triggering each time a value is changed.
* Especially helpful for live connections or datasets with performance sensitivity.

When disabled, filters are applied immediately after each selection, which works well for small or cached datasets.

### **Chart Summary**

**Enable "Chart Summary and Tab Summary"**\
If enabled, users can choose to generate customizable summaries for charts (summarizes individual charts) and tabs (summarizes tabs consisting of multiple charts) of Vizpads.

### **Alignment**

Sets the default text alignment (left, center, or right) for different data types in Vizpad tables:

* **Numeric**: Align numerical values.
* **Text**: Choose default alignment for text fields.
* **Date**: Control alignment of date values for clearer time-based visualization.
