Smartlist designer - joining 2 views together performance issues

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi all,

In smartlist designer, I'm joining 2 views together for more information (sales transasction and victoria yudin's AR apply detail) 

When I do a join in smartlist designer, the query takes forever to come up with results, but when I create a new view joining them together and then adding them to smartlist designer the query results comes back within seconds.

Any ideas on why this is happening or would best practice to be to build the view in sql and bring it into designer? or how I can improve the query performance on the smartlist designer when joining tables together?

thank-you in advance

Ray

    I like the attitude Ray - I also always try and get clients to be self-sufficient.  I would rather they spend money with us to enhance / advance their systems rather than the day to day.

    Hi Heather,

    thanks for the suggestion and I'll give it a try to see if it increases the performance of the query.

    Unfortunately my client is a small one without a dba or it support personnel and as much as I love the billable hours, I'm trying to get the client to be self sufficient and self serve for these types of requests.

    thanks!

    Ray

    Hi Ray

    I experienced similar issues in 2013.  I did find that if I only used selected columns from each of the views the performance was better.

    I think it is simpler to create the view in SQL and then link to that from designer - especially if there is only a fixed number of columns you want to display.

    Cheers

    Heather
