This pipeline step is used to read items from a Sitecore database.

Template name	Read Sitecore Items Pipeline Step
Base template	Base Pipeline Step

Field	Description
Endpoint From	The Sitecore endpoint used to read items from.
Item Root	The item to use as the starting point for the search. In other words, limit the search to the selected item and its descendants. This value is not required.
Templates	The search is limited to items based on the selected templates. This value is not required.
Page Size	It is possible that a large number of items will match the specified search criteria. In order to avoid performance problems that occur when large amounts of data are loaded at once, a maximum number of items are read at one time. This setting specifies that maximum number. Note: This value does not limit the number of items that are read. For example, if 100 items are found but the value is 20, 5 separate calls will be made to the Sitecore server in order to read all 100 items. If no value is specified, the underlying component that is responsible for performing the search determines the value to use.
Max Count	The maximum number of items that will be handled, even if the returns more items. For example, if the search returns 100 items but this value is set to 20, only the first 20 items will be available to subsequent steps. The value 0 means that there is no limit to the number of items that are handled. In other words, all of the items that are returned by the search will be handled.
