can a 'status' be assigned to a user?

posts: 228 Ukraine

Hi,

Can't seem to find if this is possible - to use the green / yellow / purple status system in Admin > Users.

I use the 'item link' field in trackers, which has the ability to 'list' which ever status you like: o, p, c, op, opc, etc.
This feature is very useful for reducing the size of dropdown lists by not showing items that are irrelevant, i.e. you have a list of vehicles used at your company, but when some vehicles are sold, you don't want to show them in the lists any more, so you assign 'pending' - this way it's still available in the archives, but not to users as a choice in a dropdown menu.

The same would be useful for 'users' (Admin > Users), as employees come and go, and it would be good to only show current users ('open' status) in dropdown lists, while retaining all information about past employees in archives. I couldn't seem to find a way to duplicate this by assigning / unassigning users to groups (when I use TrackerFilter it shows all users, despite having the 'user' field set to show only certain groups, removing users from groups, clearing cache, etc.)

I couldn't seem to find if it's possible to turn on a status feature for users, did I miss it or is it not available?


Thanks,
Mike

Hello mikeua,

"status" is only available for trackerfields. Saorry.

For users you can achieve a similar behaviour by using groups.
Use Group inclusions to reduce the necessity to add users (ex: employees) to too many groups.

When employees or members leave and you need to keep them archieved for whatever reason, then move them from active to invisible groups, ex. groups which are notvisible by other users or groups despite admins.

Hi Torsten,

I have the tracker 'user' field set to show only 2 groups - in my case, #4 is 'Field Operations', and #10 'ZZR':

Users

All are in #4, but when an employee leaves, I remove them from this group. Yet when I use the 'user' field in TrackerFilter, the dropdown still shows even those that have been un-assigned from this group (and I've cleared the cache and re-indexed a million times since the employees left). These ex-employees are left as 'registered', or group #2, which should not show in the dropdown.

Could this be due to a misconfigured server and SSL certificate? As I am constantly experiencing odd problems.

thanks,
Mike
