Freeze Headings so they don't scroll off the screen
Idea shared by kevind - 3/13/2024 at 12:56 PM
Under Consideration
Here's a simple idea to improve the SmarterMail user interface for admins. In many places you need to scroll down to see rows that exceed the height of your screen. Unfortunately the heading also scrolls, so now you're looking at a bunch of rows with no labels above the columns.

Examples:
  • Manage -> Spool -> Virus Quarantine
  • Settings -> Security -> Whitelist
  • etc.
The action buttons (New, Delete, ...) also scroll off the screen. So would be nice to freeze those too. Then you could checkmark a few rows and click an action button without having to scroll back to top.

Just following up on this with another example:

Log into webmail, go to Contacts, and scroll down. If you're in "Card View" the buttons stay on the top of the screen – perfect!  But if you switch to "Grid View" the buttons and the headings scroll off the screen.

Suggest freezing the headings on all screens, similar to how spreadsheets work.

Bump for May.  Here's an example:

When you scroll down on this page, the [Refresh] & [:] buttons, the Search, and all the labels (File Name, Spool, Sender, Size, etc.) go off the screen, making it difficult to view and take action. Would be nice to freeze the headings.
Thanks!

Bump for June. Try this: sign in as admin, go into Settings -> Security and click Blacklist or Whitelist. Scroll down and all you see is a bunch of checkmarks with no labels at the top???  Simply freeze the headings like a spreadsheet, so you can see the column titles.

+1  on this for sure!!  

And I'll raise you one better.  When you scroll to the bottom of a list that spans multiple pages, when you advance to the next page, it should set focus to the top of the next page.  As it is now, when you advance (for example) from page 1 to page 2, page 2 appears but we arrive at the bottom rather than at the top of the next page.

Be sure to freeze the buttons at the top as well.
