Filtering and Searching Users

​The top section of the Users table features several tools to help administrators quickly find and organize user data:

1. Search Table Function: The "Search table" field allows you to find specific users instantly.​Use: You can search by entering text from any column, such as a user's Name, Mobile Number, Email, Block/Unit assignment, or Group name.
2. Dropdown Filters​: These dropdown menus allow you to narrow down the list of users based on specific criteria:
  • All Roles: Filters users based on their functional role in the system.
  • ​Options: Includes Admin, Unit User, and Gatekeeper.
  • ​All Identities: Filters users based on their residential status.
  • ​Options: Includes Owner (or Unit User Type) and Tenant.

  • ​Options: Includes Active (can log in) and Inactive/Blocked (access is suspended).
  • Clear Filter Function: The Clear button resets all applied dropdown filters and the search term, returning the table to its default state of showing all users.
  • Show Entries ​Function: This dropdown (labeled "Show 20" in the example) controls the number of user entries displayed on a single page.​Use: Helps manage the display size for communities with many users.
  • Export​ Function: The Export button allows administrators to download the displayed user data.
  • ​Use: This is typically used to generate a spreadsheet (like a CSV or Excel file) containing a complete list of users, their contact information, roles, and assignments for external record-keeping or reporting. The export usually reflects the currently applied filters.
