Users list widget | MVC

You use the Users list widget to display lists of users. You can display users of different profile types or different roles. For example, you can display only forum users and you can choose to display only their nicknames.

After you place the Users list widget on your page, you configure it which users to display.

To do this, click Edit button in the upper-right corner of the widget. The following sections describe the settings you configure in the Users list dialogue.

Select users to display

In the Content tab page, choose which users you want to display:

• All registered users
  All users are displayed in the list.

• Selected users...
  A custom selection of users is displayed. To select one or more users you want to display, click the Select button.

• Users by roles...
  A custom selection of roles is displayed. Only users belonging to the selected roles are displayed in the list. To select one or more users you want to display, click the Select button.

In Which profile type to use? section, select the profile type of the users which you want to display. For example you can display only forum users. For more information about profile types, see Administration: User profiles.

List settings

List settings define how users are listed by the Users list widget. Choose one of the following options:

• Use paging
  Sitefinity CMS divides the users into pages. In the input field, specify how many users per page to display.

• Use limit
  Sitefinity CMS displays only a limited number of users. In the input field, specify how many users to display.

• No limit and paging
  Sitefinity CMS displays all users that meet the requirements and filters you set in the Content tab.

• Sort users
  By default, the users are sorted in alphabetical order by first name. You can select a different sorting criterion:

  • First name (A-Z)
  • First name (Z-A)
  • Last name (A-Z)
  • Last name (Z-A)
  • Last created
  • Last modified
  • As set in Advanced mode
    To sort the list of users by property that is not defined in the sort dropdown menu, you must add a new sorting expression in the designer’s Advanced mode. For example, to sort users using the Nickname property of user, navigate to Advanced » Model and, for SortExpression, add Nickname ASC. As a result, in the sort dropdown menu, the As set in Advanced mode option is selected by default.
