Chapter 4: Posting Entries

Filtering the Entries List

Problem

You want to see a select list of entries.

Solution

Use the Filter and Quick Filter controls found just below the tabs on the Entries Listing screen.

Discussion

A filter is a dynamic control used to limit an on-screen list based on user-defined criteria. The filter controls can be displayed by clicking the link labeled "Filter" which can be found directly under the screen tabs. You can filter by status, category and author, or return to viewing all.

To the right of this is a quick filter link that provides one-click access, allowing you to display only draft posts or view all.

Display Options is a collection of controls housed in a dynamic pop-up display. These controls are made visible by clicking the "Show Display Options" link found at the bottom of any listing screen.

Display options include: number of rows, choices of compact and expanded view modes, action button bar placement, and date display control. Click the Save button to apply the changes or Cancel to close the control without saving.
