The Recursive Level is the number of times the recursive segments in the query are repeated. Example: In the query Module/Object/Link/Linked Object, if you entered 2 for the recursive segment value and 3 for the recursive level value, Link/Linked Object would repeated 3 times. The resulting query is Module/Object/Link/Linked Object/Link/Linked Object/Link/Linked Object. |
Recursive Segments | Number | Default value: 1 Instead of adding a query and each of its child queries in your template to extract a set of data, you can use the Recursive Level and Recursive Segments.
