Description Patrick Robitaille 2018-02-09 20:20:55 UTC
Hi, 

It would be nice to add a search bar fot the tables in the list's module like comme les autres tableaux qui sont diponibles dans les différents module de Koha. This search box will help us when we have a lot of records in a list. It would be useful. It could be a tables like on this page circ/overdue.pl. 

Patrick.

Hi Patrick,

sorry, not sure what you mean. Can you try to rephrase/explain a bit more?
Comment 2 Patrick Robitaille 2018-02-12 14:01:55 UTC
Hi, 

Sorry for the sentence in french. What I meant, is that it would be nice to have a search box in the table of a list. This would make it possible to search within the records included in a list.

Patrick.

Note that the table in circ/overdue.pl contains all results which are then organized into "pages" by the DataTables plugin. That's why the table controls at the top can include a search box.

The table of titles on a list is paged server-side, so a DataTables search wouldn't be useful.

This would be most useful for searching within large virtual shelves.
Comment 5 Sarah Cornell 2021-11-04 13:59:53 UTC
Agreed!  Especially considering the work being done on bugs 26446 and 19501 to make the lists module a robust staff tool.  Staff will want to be able to search within the lists.
