Create content views

Overview

The "Content" tab is where you can find the master list of all content entries in your space. To make the list more manageable, you can use Content search to find specific entries.

NOTE: By default, archived content is not shown in the master content list. You’ll need to use the Archived view in the sidebar to see your archived entries. 

Columns overview

Your entries' search results are organized into columns. The following column types are available:

  • Name — The name of an entry. Clicking on the Name column header selects or deselects all entries.

  • Status The current status of an entry (Draft, Changed, or Published).

  • Content Type — The content type an entry belongs to (for example, a Lesson or Article).

  • Created — The date of the entry creation.

  • Updated The date of the last update made to an entry. Clicking on the "Updated" column will sort the list by ascending or descending date.

  • Published — The date of the entry publishing.

  • Created by The name of a user who last updated an entry.

  • Last updated by The author of an entry. If you're the author, you'll see "Me" instead of a name.

  • Workflow — The entry's workflow step.

  • Tags — One or multiple tags assigned to the entry.

NOTE: By default, the "Name" and "Status" columns are always visible and cannot be hidden.

You have the option to further refine the content or asset list by choosing which columns should be displayed.

Add or remove columns

To add or remove columns to or from the entries list:

  1. Click the gear icon. The drop-down of available columns is displayed.

    Content tab: Add/remove columns

NOTE: "Visible Columns" are the columns that are already displayed in the entries list. "Hidden Columns" are columns that are not currently displayed in the entries list.

2. Drag and drop the desired column to the “Visible columns” to display them or to the “Hidden Columns” section to hide them, accordingly.
