    Preview Rows

    The purpose of this configuration key is to allow a ‘snap shot’ of data to be returned so that the user is able to see how the report looks when designing without having to preview the full report.  By default the value is set to 20.  Altering the key value allows Practices to either increase or decrease the amount of preview rows being returned.
