Improvements in User Management

Quite some versions ago we moved almost all our data tables to, well, DataTables :)

I say almost, because there was one particular part that was quite large, with lots of functionalities, and expanding rows, etc, that we decided to leave as is for now — User Management (not to confuse with User Profiles, user management allows to give access to Countly dashboard to different users with different access privileges).

But we started to have more and more requests to improve it, because when amount of users becomes quite large, this user management, becomes “unmanageable”.

So finally in our latest development code, we moved that part to DataTables too, which automatically brings everything our clients wanted:

• Pagination to deal with long user lists
• Filtering to find specific user
• Exporting data in CSV and Excel
• And sorting by any column you want

And all of this, by simply moving to specific library (with some plugins), I’d say it is pretty neat :)
