Sets the default action that determines whether the record limit must be applied to the data source before or after creating a design-time preview. This setting is used only if Live is selected as the Data Preview Method. Valid values for the Enforce Limit setting are At the Source and Post Retrieval. If At the Source is selected as the Enforce Limit value, then the record limit is applied to the data source before the design-time preview is generated. If Post Retrieval is selected as the Enforce Limit value, then the record limit is applied to the data source after the design-time preview is generated. The default value is Post Retrieval.
If the Allow User Override check box is selected for this option, users can change the value assigned to the setting by the administrator in WebFOCUS Designer.
