Suggestion - ability to search Sent Invitations


 

In case this enhancement suggestion hasn't already been made, it'd be nice if the Sent Invitations list could be searched for character strings.

Unless I'm missing something, right now I have to navigate page by page, or take a guess on what page a particular entry might be, in order to find something such as the status of a particular invitation.

You can sort the invites by clicking on the blue header Status.
You can also tidy up the Sent Invitations by deleting accepted invites. Select the checkbox for those accepted and click on Actions, Cancel/Remove Invite.?
This may be a little misleading but it simply takes the invitation out of this display. It does NOT remove them as a member.

Whilst the Sort options are useful it would be use useful to have both Search to find specific entries and Filter options to restrict the list to specific values (eg Not Confirmed) on all the admin lists Members, Pending, Invites

+1 on search and filters for invites.? I have 165 pages of invites and trying to track down if someone made the list or not would be much easier with this functionality.

From the above I conclude (perhaps wrongly!) that you set up a new group and then set about populating it by invitation rather than by paying for 12 months Premium status and having your members transferred from Yahoo.

If the above assumption is correct then the result falls into the category of "self - inflicted wound". At the same time the problem you have - even if it is shared by others - is something of a one - off event brought about by Yahoo's sudden announcement of its near demise rather than a situation that is likely to repeat itself regularly in the future. On that basis it might be better to let things settle down and weed out those invitations that have been accepted (as suggested above) rather than ask Mark to do more software development to cover a diminishing need when what he is likely to need most is some respite from all the work he has had to do over the last few weeks.
