Error Message - Maximum Document Collection Size

Have you received an error message that says the Maximum Document Collection Size of 7000 Documents has been reached? Here is how to fix it.

There are two ways to address this: one for individual users and another for the system. I'll describe both and you can choose how you would prefer to proceed. First, we'll tackle the individual method. Just as the previous statement implies, it would need to be performed by each user, so the system approach requires much less effort overall in case either you don't have administrative right to the system or you can't get timely assistance from the system administrator(s).

Individual Approach –

 

In Desktop, on the Menu Bar, look for Preferences.


Select User Preferences. A new dialog will open. Remove the check mark from the Use System Default checkbox and then edit the number field above it to 999999. Select OK to save your changes. This should resolve your message about 7000 documents the next time Desktop is launched (not just signed into by a different user).

 

System Approach -

 

In the left-hand navigational window, have a user with administrative access (MASTER privilege or a member of the Administrator User Group), select System Preferences. The first item in the right-hand workspace is Document Collection Size. Change this to something other than the default of 1000000. How about 999999? Works for me and your system. The next time Desktop is launched (not just signed into by a different user), your message about 7000 documents should not appear. The image below should give you some guidance.
