      Tip

      In the "Test Result" pop-up window, it can capture up to 250 items. We have set a limit to capture a maximum of 250 data items. The reason for this limit is that sometimes the data returned by the API interface is too large, which can cause errors in the interface.

      • When capturing 250 ticket items, the number of filtered tickets can be exactly 250 items or more than 250 items.
      • When there are fewer than 250 items, the number of filtered tickets will be displayed accordingly.

      If you want to avoid having 250 items, please go back to the "Filter Settings" page to adjust the filter and preview again until the ticker items are less than 250 items.
