Column Headers

Click on the column heading to sort the list by that column's value.

  • Num. An indexing number automatically assigned by Joomla! for ease of reference.

  • Checkbox. Check this box to select one or more items. To select all items, check the box in the column heading. After one or more boxes are checked, click a toolbar button to take an action on the selected item or items. Many toolbar actions, such as Publish and Unpublish, can work with multiple items. Others, such as Edit, only work on one item at a time. If multiple items are checked and you press Edit, the first item will be opened for editing.

  • Title. The name of the item. This entry is required. You can open the item for editing by clicking on the Title.

  • Published. The Product's Published status.

    You can toggle the Published state on and off by clicking on the icon in this column. A status of Pending means that an Product's Start Publishing Date is in the future. You can hover on the icon to see an Product's Start and Stop Publishing dates.

  • Order. The order to display items. If the list is sorted by this column, you can change the order by clicking the arrows or by entering the sequential order and clicking 'Save Order'.

  • Access Level. Who has access to this item. Current options are:

    • Public: Everyone has access

    • Registered: Only registered users have access

You can change an item's Access Level by clicking on the icon in the column.
  • Categories. The Artist/Categories this item belongs to. Clicking on the name opens that artist/category for editing.

  • Date. The date this Article was created. This date is added automatically by Joomla!, but you may change it in when editing the item.

  • Hits. The number of hits for a Product. A hit is the number of times a page has been viewed.

  • ID. The ID number. This is a unique identification number for this item assigned automatically by Joomla!. It is used to identify the item internally, for example in internal links. You can not change this number.

List Filters

Filter by Partial Title

You can filter the list of items either by entering in part of the title or the ID number. Or you can select a combination of Section, Category, Author, and Published State.

  • Filter. In the upper left corner just above the column headings is a Filter field and two buttons, as shown below:

    If you have a large number of items on the list, you can use this filter to find the desired item(s) quickly. Enter either part of the title or an ID number and press 'Go' to display the matching items. You can enter in whole words or part of a word. For example, "ooml" will match all titles with the word "Joomla!" in them.

Filter by Category, Published State

In the upper right area, above the column headings, are 2 drop-down list boxes as shown below:

The selections may be combined. Only items matching all selections will display in the list.

  • Select Category. Use the drop-down list box to select the desired Category. Only items in this Category will display.

  • Select State. Use the drop-down list box to select the published state: Published or Unpublished.
