Increasing pagination in Silverstripe admin

Question

I'm using Silverstripe 3.1. The site will have hundreds of users and lots of files / assets.

How can I increase the number of items listed to (from 15 to 50 or so per page) in the admin for both users and files.

Even better if I can just set it by default for all areas of the admin.

Answer 1

You can do it manually by overloading getCMSFields() and using method $field->setItemsPerPage(50) on grid paginator field.

The other option is to use yaml file. You need create config.yml and put it in _config directory then put in your yaml file:

GridFieldPaginator:
    itemsPerPage: 50
