Hi - here is the topic:
As a moderator/administrator, I would like, after generating a search on a list, to send an email to the users from the search results - i.e. informing them to complete the account (=> based on the progress bar)

Is this possible and if yes, how - thanks!

The progress field is calculated so it's not possible to search for it. Best I can suggest is use advanced searching in CB > User Management to check for empty fields then use the Mass Mailer feature to email them.

An alternative, but heavy, solution is to use CB Auto Actions with the Internal Users trigger then condition for the progress field to check using [FIELD_NAME] Not Equal To 100 with whatever action you want (e.g. email). You'd then run the Internal Users URL either manually or with CRON. The URL is found within CB Auto Actions > Parameters. This however will run and check every user on your site.

All right. Let me rephrase to focus on the main point of my question: can I send an email (or create mailing list based on the search criteria) to users based on the search results from the list?

No, you'd have to do some form of manual work for that. For example debug mode could be enabled, grab the query at the bottom of the page, manually execute it in phpmyadmin and save a phpmyadmin bookmark for it, adjust the SELECT so it only grabs the email address, then export as needed. The Userlist search can also be saved by bookmarking the URL after searching.

@Kyle - this one is branching little away from the main topic, but since it is related, I thought I'll continue without new post:
"As a moderator/administrator logged in front-end, I would like to manage user's account from the list view"

Now, let me elaborate on that a bit: the idea is to be able to quickly maneuver between users without all the steps to select user, click edit, make editing, etc. Something similar to the back-end view (tab/field management) - I know that there is more to it that meets the eye :) - but think of the list(s) view in a different dimension: not as a tool for users to see other users, but rather as a "report" and maintenance tool - I guess one can use Fabrik or (I don't know if they are still around but remember using it years ago:)) LFM, or other entire custom extension ...
So for example, in your list, you could add a field (button) that would edit the user directly (see this example: fabrikar.com/demo/index.php/elements )
The other potential possibility (and really cool item for many business owners) to export the list data to i.e. csv or to print it in a tabular view.

~~~
Oh - on semi-related topic: I just noticed (the hard way) that if I do not display a field on profile, I will not see that field in the list... that's a BUMMER! perhaps there is a logic or obstacle to it (?) - here is the scenario: field that is not important to be viewed in a tab on profile, but has a significance to be edited - like a name: if CB displays a name on canvas, it is redundant to display the name again in the tab - BUT, as a user, I want to be able to edit my name - thus I would not show the name on profile, but on edit instead. => this is an example only to picture the case.
Now, since the field is published I would expect to see it in the list... unless other conditions would apply (privacy, etc.)

BUT to solve this I have to set the "Show on Profile" to Yes and then change the CB Privacy to hide it from the user but show it to the admin (the entire example has to do with providing admin/moderator an easy way to edit/review the users)
Is there another, less complicated way to do it? too many queries the way I see it... how about if the field is publish it can also be visible on the list? why did you decide to make it available in the list only if "Show on Profile" is set to Yes?

thanks!

A button that goes directly to profile edit in a Custom HTML field would certainly work. Just add it to your userlist then turn off userlist linking for that userlist so the row doesn't go directly to profile anymore.

A field does need to be shown on profile to be displayed on profile. The solution is to move the field to a tab in a not shown on profile position. Once we've a layout editor most of these params will be gone as you'll be able to select exactly what fields will display in what layout using drag and drop editor. So there's not a lot of plans to expand on our existing usages given we want to go a completely different direction with things and adding new stuff just complicates the migration.
