Go back to a single, long list of assets in emails and landing pages!!

[Dory_Viscoglio]

Just recently Marketo has switched from a single, long list of all emails and landing pages to a paged version if you clicked on "Emails" or "Landing Pages" from the Design Studio. This is incredibly cumbersome and elminates previous functionality that we used to have to "mass approve" assets.

It would be great if Marketo could go back to the old style of a single, long page of assets so that you can select more than 30 things to be approved at a time.

You're 100% right, Dory.  It also looks like you can't sort by the Approved column in the Landing Pages view anymore (not sure if this is just me).

I hadn't even realized this change had taken place. This is a huge PITA for anyone who makes a change to a template & then has to reapprove hundreds of pages. It takes long enough the old way, but now having to tab through page after page. This is a real step back guys.

OMG - thanks for bringing this to our attention.  I hadn't realized this either.  Marketo, you need to let us know when you change core functionality like this - and better yet, don't change it unless the community has been asking for it.  This is one of those "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" type of feature change.

Not sure how this got double posted - but can a Marketo community admin remove one of them?

Thanks guys, and to be totally fair, and I don't know if I violated some type of Marketo customs here, but Zsolt mentioned it and I felt really strongly about the implications (especially with 2015 right around the corner), so I put an idea into the community.

Hopefully we can get some kind of quick action on this, or week 1 of 2015 is going to really suck!

I noticed this yesterday, and couldn't believe it.

The real issue for me is not just that it's paginated, but also that the column sort only applies to the current page! It is no longer possible to view all children of a single template next to each other by sorting this list, since they are potentially on different pages to begin with.

Thanks for getting this discussion started in the Community, Dory; this is quite a cumbersome change.

So, I can speak a bit to what we did, and let's break down what functions you guys are missing. The reason we made this change is having it all load at once with no pagination made it extremely slow for most customers. Particularly for folks with lots of assets. So, it was broke for lots of people, hence the fixing (@Dan)

What specifically are the actions you all took on that page historically that you can't do anymore?

I see one post which talks about sorting. Another about doing approvals- is that the main piece?

Yea. Where I think it is a problem is when you make a minor update & want to approve all landing pages at once. At my last company I had 800 landing pages. Now instead of being able to update all changes at once (and letting it take 40 minutes to run). Now it would take hours to approve everything on a page, tab 30 more pages, approve everything, wait for the approvals to run, then tab to the next page. That's doing the same thing 25 times, which used to be accomplished all at once. 

That's why I think it's a step back. If you want to have it default to only 30 entries, fine, but allow it to be toggled to 200 & 1000. 

A step back for power users who depend on this functionality to keep us working efficiently.

Hi Erik,

Thanks for joining the discussion! I think you've inferred the main complaints.

Our main use of this view is mass-approval of emails or landing pages which have been bumped into draft mode by an upstream template change. We sort by both template name and approval status, to get the pages with unapproved drafts next to each other.

I agree the pagination is a necessary improvement for this to scale, but I really miss:

1. Organizing/sorting the whole list
2. Approving >30 assets at one time

Best,
Kyle

Edit: I completely agree with Adam above re: changing the page size. That is the simplest way to restore previous functionality while using a sensible default.
