Pagination improvement across all NIM listing pages

One-sentence summary of your feature request?

Add complete pagination management (current/total page number and сохранation of position) across all Netwrix Identity Manager listing pages (Jobs, Roles, etc.).

Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.

Today, in NIM (Jobs, Roles, and others), listing pages only provide previous/next navigation arrows, with no indication of the current page number or the total number of pages. As a result, it’s impossible to know whether you’re on page 2, 8, or 16 without manually counting clicks, which makes navigation and data analysis unnecessarily tedious.

In addition, when a user opens the detail view of an object from a given page (for example, page 16) and then returns to the list, they are always taken back to page 1 instead of the page they were on. When analyzing data involving large volumes of records, this forces users to re-scan the entire list every time they consult a detail, which significantly slows down the work.

We believe the best solution has two parts: first, display both the current page number and the total number of pages (e.g. „Page 8 / 24“) on every listing view; and second, ensure that when returning from a detail view, the list is restored exactly to the page where the user was, rather than being reset to page 1. This solution directly addresses both problems identified with a minimal interface change, and would be applied consistently across all paginated pages.

How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?

Today, there is no real workaround. Users have to manually count clicks to estimate their position, and after viewing a detail view, they must re-navigate from page 1 back to the previous page to find their location again. This is particularly time-consuming for data analysis tasks involving objects spread across many pages.
