Dear All,

if our authors want to write an email to all the course-members, they are used to do this via the "Members Management" (open Members Management, click if necessary on "Show all" and on "Select all" and use the button "E-mail").
However, in 10.3.2 I could not find the options "Show all" and "Select all" in the Members Management anymore.
Therefore, you have to chose every member by hand.
I am missing the options "Show all" and "Select all".
Any idea what I can do?

Thanks a lot and best regards,
Sandra

Hi Sandra

First update to the latest 10.3.x code ;-)

The missing “select all” link has been added for 10.3.3, but the release is not yet out. The issue is a bit hidden in jira as it was committed together with some general UI issues, sorry for that. https://jira.openolat.org/browse/OO-1612

Once you updated you can just use the “select all” link below the table. This will select all users from the table in all pages. 

In the 9.x release the table was not capable of selecting all users within the table model, the "select all” applied only to the visible page. This was widely considered as a bug, so we changed the behavior. 

The reason why the “show all” was removed in this table is the fact that the query to load the data does not scale well. With the 10 series we moved from in-memory paging (which does not scale as it always has to load all data) to database paging (which scales well as only the visible data is actually loaded from the server). Therefore the “show all” link makes no sense anymore. 

If you need a list of all users: use the table export
If you want to perform an action on all users: use the “select all” link and execute the action

Cheers
Florian

Dear Florian,

thanks for your fast reply.
That's sounds fine!
The "show all"-option was already needed in connection with "select all" due to the fact, that the "select all” applied only to the visible page :-)
Therefore, we will not miss the "show-all"-function if "select all" really select all participants :-).

Thank you very much,
best regards,
Sandra
