    • Confirmed: The user has confirmed their information request.
    • Completed: The information request has been completed by a Super User.
  • Email. The email address of the individual owning the information being requested.

    2. Remove: When a user has sent a request to be removed.
  • Requested. When the information request has been sent.
  • ID. This is a unique identification number for this information request assigned automatically by Joomla. It is used to identify the information request internally, and you cannot change this number.

Column Filters[edit]

Above the column headers on the right, there are 2 dropdown input fields, Sort Table By: (preset to 'ID descending') and a number (preset to '20') to display.

These column sorting input fields shows the current method of sorting applied to the table. Use the dropdown field choices and click the column heading name. Alternatively, click on the column heading to sort the list by that column's value.

This will also change the value in the drop field to correspond with the column header name. The list will then be sorted in order by that column and a sort icon (up or down arrow) will show next to the column name. Click a second time to reverse the sort, which will change the corresponding drop field.

  • ID descending (default). Shows ordering of selected column, ascending or descending.
  • Number of information requests to display. Shows the number of information requests to display on one page, default is 20 information requests. If there are more information requests than this number, you can use the page navigation buttons to navigate between pages.


List Filters[edit]

The List Filters are a series of controls that let you limit what Information Requests show in the screen. More than one filter may be entered. In this case, only Information Requests that meet all of the filter conditions will show on the list.

Filter by Partial Title or ID

In the upper left is a search field and 2 buttons.

  • Click 'Clear' to clear the Filter field and restore the list to its unfiltered state.
