Check box for email recipients from different list pages?

Post by Big Back Grips » Thu Sep 03, 2009 11:50 am

It seems if I check 5 different users on page 1, the checks disappear when I go to page 2 to check more users. So I can only send emails to users listed on a certain page. It seems that can't be right. Any suggestions?

thx

You may need some custom code to manage history of previous selections, you may also try to turn of the paging and having all records on a single page.

It would be nice to have the selections save across pages. The feature is only marginally useful as designed now.

The only workaround (without custom-coding) is coming up with the right search parameters to catch everyone you want to email - then you can use the "Email users in search results" button. That's tough to do though - sometimes you just want certain specific people to email.

Email selected users was a great addition but it needs a little more love to be very useful.
