Group Admin Logs > Sort Gallery Items By Status

Hello! I have a suggestion related to dA groups. :3

When you access the admin area, you can sort group activity by messages > events > gallery items. I think it would be really helpful if there was a way to further sort gallery items by status, namely: all, expired, withdrawn, accepted, and declined.

With the current system, if you need to go back and look at something in the log, it can be difficult to find what you're looking for because there's no way to refine your search. This isn't an issue for small groups or groups with limited traffic, but for large groups, even trying to find something from a week ago can be hard if you get 100+ submissions per week. You end up browsing at least 10 - 20 pages of log items. (Imagine trying to find something from a month ago!)

For groups that actually vote and discuss via the submission tickets, being able to find these more quickly and in a more organized way would be really helpful. :3

I'm not expecting dA to implement a full admin search function, so I think this is a reasonable trade off. (And for $60 a year, why the hell not?) ;p

You want to see deviations from a particular user being submitted in the group log?

That would be nice. Is there a way to do it now?

What I'm asking for in this post for the option to see all the declined deviations separate from the accepted ones.

Yes, there is.


Oh, you want a further breakdown in the Complete section to the Accepted and Declined (as there is already an 'expired' and 'withdrawn' section. Yes, that would helpful.

That tip is great, but you shouldn't need a tutorial and a "trick" to search for something that, at this point, really should be a standard function. Definitely saving that tutorial though. Thanks! 8D

You can already sort it by status.

Admin Area > Log > Message Log > Gallery Item > There is a Status option a bit down there that says: Any Status. Open. Complete. Expired. Cancelled. Is this is what you're looking for?

Not quite! I want to see what the final status was, as in, did we accept it into our galleries, or did we decline it, or did the user withdraw it. "Completed" is still too broad when you're looking for something. I forget that the header "status" was already used in the admin area, so sorry for the confusion. >o<

Ah, I see. Maybe another drop-down status under completed?
