Improvements for "New System"

Since the old system is now nearing eol

just a couple of thing for starters.

The page loading in the new system is very slow if you have a lot of students on the event

example we have an event with around 1000 students. going to the page at

https://company.administrateapp.com/ViewEvent/view/id/###

old system page load

usable(big lists of clickable names at least) 4.15seconds

fully loaded 34.3 seconds

new system page load

page visible 6.9 seconds, but completely unusable untill page loading is completed

page completed 51.9 seconds

it defaults to the setup page, if i want the student tab,(most of the time), switching to the students tab, loads the enter thing again!!

and 1st load is useless as you can't interact with the page

page complete time 55.56 seconds

so in the old system i can interact with the page, see a big list of students, edit the event, switch to the lms page, all within roughly 5 seconds

But in the New "improved" system I've got to wait almost 1 minute before i can edit the event and almost 2 minutes before i can get to the list of students.

But wait there is more improvements;

The default page on the old system loads the complete list of student (handy if you need to ctrl+f a few names), remember this is usable after ~5 seconds

The student list in the new system after waiting around for 2 minutes lists only 15 students, if for whatever reason you want to load the next 15, best go make a brew, as its another ~30 seconds, next 15, another ~30 seconds.

The pages numbers are next to useless if for example you are looking for a couple of students starting with the name "R", maybe swap the page numbers to letters?.

its nice that you've included a column sort, however its not nice how it need to reload the data set for every time you sort a column.

every page on the students tab loads financial_stats twice??

The search bar on the Audit tab, as far as i can tell, doesn't actually do anything, i certainly can't search for email addresses, putting 2 characters into the search box blanks the page, then it doesn't do anything else.

If your goal with this new system was to make it look nice, you've done a good job, it looks nice, however looking nice means nothing if you can't actually use the system in any reasonable time frame.

If i was to compare this new system to anything, if would be Windows 8, it looks nice, but it is an absolute arse to use.

It doesn't even look nice - the long list of events which are not split up and displayed by month as in the old system is useless

We too are finding the system to be very slow at loading - the little blue lines seem to spend more time on the screen than the actual page you are trying to navigate to. We have a huge amount of data and events in our system which may be slowing it down

We are still using the legacy system so our only interaction with the new system is for Course Templates.

Loading a specific template takes approximately 30 seconds - if i'm doing a lot of course creation it becomes the most tedious job in the world as i spend half my time waiting for a page to load.

This really does need to be addressed please.

We are still using the legacy system as we find the new layout slow to load and not being able to view all students on one page is a hindrance.

Sorry to hear that Rosie. We're looking into ways to significantly speed up the different elements of the new event screen. Can I ask what is helpful about having all the students on one page? Is it easier to find a particular student or just to see an overview?

Thanks for your feedback!
