Configure How Many Recent Users QCFUM Shows

QCFUM Core Settings store two Recent Users modes: count with a configured user count, or days with a configured number of days. Both values are preserved as administrator settings.

The current unified Dashboard implementation in QCFUM 2.0.4 does not apply those two modes identically: days mode still limits records by age, while count mode’s configured count is bypassed by the unified view’s 1000-row fetch and its own paging.

Configure the Settings

  1. Open QCFUM Administrator → Settings → Core Settings.
  2. Choose “Show the last number of created users” or “Show users created in the last number of days.”
  3. Enter Days and Users values; the save path enforces a minimum of 1.
  4. Save Settings.

Days Mode in the Unified Dashboard

When recent_created_mode=days, QCFUM applies recent_created_days to the created-user query before the unified Recent Users search and paging. The manager can then further narrow the result with From/To filters.

Count Mode Limitation in 2.0.4

When recent_created_mode=count, the helper normally uses recent_created_count. However, the unified Recent Users view calls that helper with a 1000-row limit override so it can perform its own search and paging. As a result, the configured “Users” count does not cap the current unified Dashboard list in 2.0.4.

Paging Is Separate

The unified Recent Users screen always controls presentation with 10, 25, or 50 rows per page. That per-page choice is separate from the administrator Recent Users settings.

Practical Configuration

If administrators need a real retention-style window in the current unified Dashboard, use Days mode. Treat the Users count setting as legacy/helper configuration until the unified count-mode path is changed.
