Note: As of September 1, 2024, we’ve streamlined our Staging boundaries to more effectively separate staging data from workspace and system data. With this change, you will no longer be able to write to or access data outside of the four defined staging area folders. The four folders that comprise the Staging area are ARM, ProcessingSource, StructuredData, and TenantVM. Folders that were removed include FTA, Temp, Export, and dtSearch, in addition to any other folders that you manually created. Refer to the Staging Area topic and Staging Area FAQ in Community for more details.

When you open Staging Explorer, there is user drop-down menu next to your name.

Pagination

You can page through a large list of items in a particular folder in the Local or Staging pane. Each page contains 100 items. The system will load up to 10 pages of items (which equates to 1000 items) at a time if available. If there are more items, the Load more link displays. By clicking Load more, the next 1000 items will load, and so forth, until all pages of items are loaded.

The total page count loaded and current page number you're on displays in the "Page # of #" area.

To advance through the pages, click a particular page number or click the left and right arrows for Next Page, Previous Page, First Page, and Last Page.

Note: Using the Search by name box to locate a filename will automatically begin loading all items that are available in the selected folder.
