1 Initial Problem

The User Management Screen has got filter limits and could be slimmer in appearance. A lot of administrators don't have access to their server. It should be possible for them to do more sophisticated queries, than possible now. Excluding ist mostly not possible. To narrow a search sometimes is difficult. In the Extended Search some filter options are missing.

It's time to revamp.

2 Conceptual Summary

Not only Login, E-Mail and Name should be searchable/filterable on the mainscreen, but every column. At best we could get rid of the huge filter block, the A–Z bar and the Extended Search Tab.

Where useful the filter should include options like:

  • exact hit (like "[expression]")
  • negative (e.g. NOT a member of role X)
  • starts with
  • ends with
  • contains
  • empty
  • before + data picker (e.g. last login, created)
  • after + data picker
  • a fix list with checkboxes (e.g. global roles, authentication)
  • ...
The columns should still be sortable.

2.1 Option 1: Input field hidden

Options (sorting, filter input field) appear when clicking on the arrow
Click on title-arrow opens options sorting & filter
Click on filter opens filter options
After selecting filter option input field appears
If column contains a date other filter options are available (We would use other options in ILIAS)
A date picker is included
If a list is finite and several options may be selected a list with checkboxes is presented (e.g. authentications, global roles)
Filtered (Options to adapt the filter and de-filter)

2.2 Option 2: Input field visible

Input field always visible, additional options appear when clicking in the input field. The input field may also be a checkbox. Sorting possible by clicking on Title.
Options appear when clicking input field
