A much better affiliate management

[mhmtozek]

Hi,



I have been using e-junkie for about 2 years and so far its been great.



Recently I came across a really frustrating issue with affiliate management. I don't really think affiliates page have been under development much, the only features are offered on affiliate pages are



* Undelete affiliate

* extra percentage



We have around 800 active affiliates and i had to increase affiliate rate for 5-6 affiliates. At first i thought it would be easy as i could use their id to search, but nope, there was no option on affiliate management page to search by their id.



Then i thought i will have them sorted by their email and alphabetically I'll find the page and increase their affiliate share, sort worked fine, but when I clicked on page 2, it forgot about sorting and started to give random affiliate names again, like it was never sorted.



I had to go one by one over 17 pages of affiliates, find them one by one, increase their afiliate share, even while doing that when an affiliate share was updated, page jumped back to first one didnt remember where it was, and each affiliate had to be updated one by one. If there were two affiliates on same page, i couldn't find an option to update them together, they had to be updated separetely



Basically a work that would normally take around 10 min using affiliate search with id, took about 3-4 hours



Regards

Mehmet

Thanks for those suggestions; we'll add them to the wishlist. Since the View/Edit Affiliates screen is HTML-based (rather than most of our Admin which is currently built in Flash), this might even be something we could add fairly soon. We'll see what we can do.

I again need to go through 18 pages of affiliates list one by one to find a specific affiliate and update his details..

I can confirm that Development has definite plans to add a search feature to our View/Edit Affiliates screen, just a matter of time until they get to it in their schedule; thanks for your patience.



Meanwhile, you might try this:

- Download your affiliate list;

- Open it in a spreadsheet file;

- Search for the affiliate you want, and note what line they're on;

- The View/Edit Affiliates screen paginates at 50 per page, so knowing what line they're on should help you find what page they're on;

- E.g. if you found the affiliate on line 365, you can jump to page 8 to find them and edit their percentage.

Good to hear that it was considered for an update and added into to do list of dev team. Also thanks for the clue which i didn't think before. That will help at least for now
