Number of records to skip when retrieving records from remote source. This property only applies if your data source for the grid is remote. As of 1.3, the default behavior of the grid is infinite scroll, which means as user scrolls more records will be loaded. Each time a request will be sent to the server to retrieve records, it will submit .offset to indicate how many records to skip from the result set. You should not set this property directly. If you want to skip some records from the beginning, use .skip() method. However, it is important that your server property returns correct set of records.
