Which function allows you to query a record type with paging and retrieve a total count?

• A. a!getRecord
• B. a!countRecords
• C. a!queryRecord
• D. a!queryRecordType

Answer: (C)

When you need to pull multiple records with paging and also know how many total results exist, you use a function that returns both the current page of records and the overall total. a!queryRecord is built for this: you provide pagingInfo (start index and batch size) and, optionally, a query filter, and the result includes the page data plus totalCount. This enables UI components to present page navigation and display how many records match the query. The other options don’t provide both pieces in one call. Fetching a single record retrieves only one item. Counting records gives just the number of matches without returning the actual records for paging. Querying a record type in other ways may not yield a paged result with a total count in the same response. So for paged results with a total count, a!queryRecord is the appropriate tool.
