Pagination of SNOW records (for the DISPLAY of records in the chatbot)

When displaying structured data from a SNOW table and there are more than 10 results, would like to enable pagination from a display perspective.

Ideally there would still only be one call to the database (since there are still only less than 20 records).

Reason for asking: We have an existing plugin that gave expected result in layout formatting. However, now that there are more than 10 records, the LLM is summarizing the dataset and reformatting the output. We do not want that as we prefer the deterministice formatting that we had before.

Thanks!
Steve

​@DooleyBoozAllen Can you explain how your conversation process is wired up? Is it just an output mapper response?

    Hi ​@Kevin Mok Yes conversation process contains an http_action w/ output mapper response.

    output mapper response:

    results:
      MAP():
        converter:
          field1:
          field2:
          etc...

    We have another version of the plugin with a compound action w/Output Mapping of:

    final_message: response.final_message

    where the result set has been flattened and outputs as a string.

    With only a few records returned, there's no UX issue but we're concerned that if the results number increases (say to 30 records), pagination would be a better UX

    Got it, that makes sense. We currently don't support any kind of pagination. From some of my testing, the assistant will show up to a certain limit of elements based on character limit that the chat platform supports, and then it will also let you know at the end, something like, "There's more you can ask to see that haven't been shown."

      Thanks Kevin. That’s the info we need.
