About query performance

If you query for a large amount of data from the tables, the query can take a significant amount of time to complete. It is recommended that, when you edit queries, you only select the fields that you need.

About columns with multiple values

By default, in OData each row contains a single entity such as one message, one conference, and so on. So for columns that can contain multiple values (such as participant), if you select Count for the Count of Key, you will see duplicate values.

For example, if you selected participants and a message has several participants, the same message appears in multiple rows, one entry for each participant. In this case, change the Count of Key from Count to Count (Distinct) to get a count of distinct keys.
