Modifying the People admin view

Last revision:

As an administrator you use the administrative People view at Manage > People (/admin/people).

You'll notice this view is very similar to the administrative Content view (/admin/content), and could use a few customisations.

Activity 1 

  • Add the user id (UID) field and show it to the left of the username.
  • Ensure the list of users can be sorted by this field.
Hints
  • Sort options are part of the view's format settings.
  • For a field to be sortable, it needs to be configured to show a label (which is used as the column header).

Activity 2

  • Add the user picture field and show it to the left of the user id field you just added.

Activity 3

  • Add the email address field and show it to the right of the username field
  • Ensure the list of users can be sorted by this field.

The final result should look like this (additions highlighted):

Summary

  • When using the table format, most fields can be set as sortable.
  • For a field to be sortable, it first has to be configured to show a label.
  • A Field's label is used as the (sortable) column header in table displays.
