Ilene,

I guess that is what you could call it. As it is set now in order to
bring up a record in the database the wording has to be exact.
I call it partial-word matching. And I'd love to see it too.

Not just in Database, but everywhere. The only place in Groups.io that I know implements partial-word matching right now is the Members list. It is really needed in the Activity log and Messages as well.

Is there any way to make the chat messages read automatically using ARIA rolls? So that screen readers can automatically announce messages as they come in?

3 years ago I didn't even know IO Groups existed. Wish I did.
I now have 2 of my groups moved and in the process of 3 more getting moved and then I will do the last 2 of my groups.
 
I understand about using normal words.
But many members when putting their groups in the database - write it as it is listed in groups IO like tagsforyou instead of Tags For You so it would be great if partial names would be picked up.
 
Well I am not going to sweat the small stuff.
 
At least I know with groups IO, messages go through to the group when they are sent!!!!!!

This was discussed quite awhile back.  If you just use normal words, it won't have a problem, i.e. Tags For You instead of TagsForYou.  When this new version of search was added, one of the restrictions noted was that it won't do partial word searches and it wasn't a high priority addition.  You should have been here about 3 years ago when the search function was really bad!  I'm thankful to have what we do and do my best to make it work.

I have quite a bit of pages of invites from a CSV import but many have not replied yet. Is there a way I can bulk cancel all of those invites? I know about the check boxes but I still have to go page by page. Is there a way I can cancel them all at once?

moderated New Google Maps table view and table export

Mark Fletcher
 

Hi All,

For premium groups, if a table has an address column, viewing that table now defaults to a new Google Maps view. I've created an example table so that you can see it in action here:


You can toggle the original list view as well.

Also, I've changed how tables are exported and imported. Now, Export Table returns a JSON object containing all the table information. And there's a new Import Table button that lets you generate a new table from a previous table export. You can still import CSV formatted rows into an existing table using the Import Rows button. Group exports now export tables using the new JSON object format.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Mark

Would it be possible to have the search feature in the database be less sensitive. I guess that is what you could call it. As it is set now in order to bring up a record in the database the wording has to be exact. For instance if I am looking for a group in my database called Tags For You (made up name)  and I type in Tags - nothing comes up because it listed in the database as TagsForYou.
 
It would be really helpful if you can just plug in the search the word Tags or any part of the group's name and then all records with Tags or whatever partial word was put in, what I will be looking for will come up.
 
So many times I am trying to do a search but I don't have the name in the database exactly as it was entered.
 
I am sure other members would benefit from this change as well.
 
Thanks for attention to this matter. Ilene

Robert,

... the visible indicators are not accessible to screen readers either
so doing it the above way would be better, accessibility wise.
Just to be clear, I wasn't proposing to get rid of the badges and use separate columns instead. Just proposing that the Email column have more than one sort key.

But an option to show/hide those extra three columns would also be acceptable to me.

Right, I now remember seeing that in the download. Would be great to have it online as well.

Makes sense that B and NC are mutually exclusive. NC’s are not sent emails in the first place so there would never be a bounce.

Ah, I found the answer.

If you download the Members list the very last column is "User Status (0=Not Confirmed, 1=Confirmed, 2=Inactive, 3=Bouncing, 4=Bounced)"

So those badges are exclusive. And I got the name wrong, it is "User Status" not "Email Status".

Sorry, I meant bouncing lol. Non-caffeinated here. ;p 

But I'm confused about the relationship of confirmed of NC to this, other than that obviously, if they're NC, they're not receiving emails. (For that matter, if they're pending they're also not receiving emails.) I don't think an NC member would ever have a B, because emails are not sent to them in the first place.

Yes, and grinding.  ;-)

I was thinking of Bouncing, Bounced, and Not Confirmed. I /think/ Not Confirmed is exclusive of the other two, if not I'm not sure how to sort a member that has both a B and NC badge.

moderated send confirmation emails in batch #suggestion

J_Catlady
 

I just tried (in one of the groups I'm a mod in, but which is not a premium group) to select the NC members and send them confirmation emails, but that is not an option and I had to do it individually. It would be nice if this could be done en masse on a selected group of members.

(OR: how about an option to send confirmation emails to ALL the NC members, without even selecting them?)

While I'm on the subject of NC members: this does not seem to be a status that expires, unlike "pending" status in a restricted group, where the membership drops off after a certain amount of time and not being approved. It seems reasonable to let NC memberships "expire" after a certain amount of time as well, rather than leave them sitting around.

I would find this extremely helpful as well.
One question: what do you mean by email status? Do you mean whether or not they're bumping, or do you mean delivery method, or something else?

Mark,

Every once in a while I run into a circumstance where it would be really helpful to sort the Members list of a group by their Email Status, Role, or Posting Privilege. However, those are indicated by badges on the email address rather than being in columns of their own.

Would it be possible to change the heading for that column from "Email" to "Email (Status Role Privilege)" and have each of those words be a click-to-sort button?

I'm not wedded to the parenthesis there, but I think it makes it read better to have Email called out as the primary column heading.

This is an elaboration (and bump) on my prior suggestion:

Joseph,
I'm sorry but it seems a duplication of effort. We already have an easy way to download all subscriber information and there are so many other items on to todo lists that really have no work arounds.
If someone really needs that list and your group(s) have more than one moderator or owner (good practices would dictate this)
another one of the Owners/Moderaters coulld simply download the list as send it as the text of an email to the person who wishes it delivered in one particular way. I'm sure your group could come up with a workaround.

There are a lot of functions which are not exactly identical to what I'm used to but almost every single one can be performed by simply using my brain and the tools already in groups.io
