Navigation on the Manage Meetings page

Locked 6 replies · 461 views

When 'Manage Meetings' (on a VPE dashboard) is clicked, the page currently opens with the view automatically positioned near the upcoming meeting, which is located toward the bottom of the page.

This means that if the user wants to create a new meeting using the 'Create Meeting' button at the top of the page, they first have to scroll all the way back to the top, or use Ctrl+Home.

Is there a way to avoid this? Perhaps the display order could be changed so that the most recent or upcoming meetings appear at the top rather than at the bottom?

it now shows 10 with an option button at the bottom to show all.
Thank you,

Thanks, but the number of meetings displayed is not the issue. The issue is the initial scroll position.

When I click 'Manage Meetings', the page opens already scrolled down to the upcoming meeting, as shown in Attachment 1. I then have to scroll back to the top to access the meeting management buttons at the top of the page.

Could the page instead open at the top, as shown in Attachment 2 (i.e., window.scrollTo(0, 0))?

What size screen are you viewing your website on?
The majority of screens I have used the top menu still shows.

I tested on the following devices and viewport sizes:

HP laptop
Display 1920 × 1080
Browser viewport 1536 × 730

LG Flatron E2242 monitor
Display 1920 × 1080
Browser viewport 1920 × 945

Google Pixel 9a
Display 1080 × 2424
Browser viewport 411 × 785

OnePlus Nord CE 5G
Display 2400 × 1080
Browser viewport 360 × 689

The same behavior occurs across all four devices. The Manage Meetings page opens positioned at the upcoming meeting rather than at the top of the page.

Just to add, I checked the page behavior further. It consistently opens at scrollY = 277, even with direct navigation. There is no URL anchor involved, and disabling scroll restoration makes no difference.
Running window.scrollTo(0, 0) moves it to the top and it stays there. So something during page loading appears to be positioning it at 277px.

Yes for 90% of the people who go to that page it takes them to the next meeting.
