Recipient Overview - only shows 20 pages

Hi, I have just installed 5.3.1b and imported around 8000 records using iReport connected to an old Access 97 database - it took me a day to iron out issues with the data format but it's working!

Recipient Overview gives me clickable links for pages 1..20, but I have many more pages of data so how do I get to see the rest if I just want to click through and have a general look around (eg: page 21+).

Great software - thanks.

What a coincidence- I have the same problem! I uploaded 1000+ names, and can only view the first 20 pages. Looking at the data in MySQL, I see that all the records are there- I just can't get to the later ones using the web app.

Sorry that I don't have a solution for you, but I figure that the support team will be more likely to respond if more than one user is reporting the same problem.

Well, this is a feature, not a bug. ;-)

For performance reasons OpenEMM fetches only 1.000 recipient records from the database. If you want to go beyond you have to use target groups to narrow your search.

Of course, it is possible to recode the recipient class to dynamically load recipient records from the database. But this has a low priority for us right now. However, we would be more than happy to accept a patch from the community! :-)

Thanks for the reply. It just seems strange not to be able to scroll through all the data page by page like you can in pretty much every other data management application - even tools such as phpmyadmin can do this.
