A CVL is a menu of items from which a user can select property values for a CS document. A CVL can have any number of elements. Limiting the number may improve performance. However, be aware that users get no indication that a CVL has missing elements (no "More" button appears at the end of the list).

To change the default value of Max CVL elements retrieval:

  1. Open the SitePreferences.xml file, located under the Preferences sub directory of the Open Client installation directory, in a text or XML editor.
  2. Locate the following XML section and replace the value (appears in bold below) of MaxCVLElelmentsRetrieval.
