Hi. This is a question for anyone there who is knowledgeable in Creatio’s implementation of oData…
We're connecting our BI tool “Qlik” to Creatio via the OData service and in our first test we, of course, have hit the 20,000-record limit per request. To retrieve full datasets (e.g., from the 'Opportunities' table), we need to configure paging in the Qlik connector (using Qlik’s native REST connector).
Like other BI tools, there are several ways to do paging in Qlik -- depending how it is implemented by the oData provider.
(I refer to this document at Qlik: Loading paged data | Qlik Connectors Help )
Can anyone tell me which paging method is used by Creatio's OData feed?
Typical options are:
- Next URL (e.g., @odata.nextLink)
- Offset (e.g., using $skip/$top)
- Next Token
- Next Page (using field values)
- Custom
- If a custom script using parameters like $skip and $top is required, I'd need an example of how to structure the calls to loop through and get all records.
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide!

The screencap below is the configuration screen for the Qlik REST connector -- It will probably look like other BI vendors connectors. The current connection works, as long as we limit the resultset to $top=20000:
