Getting Started

Working with Lists

When setting up page or block modules on the Edit step of the Sitemonster Pro Wizard, you will see lists of various system objects (blog posts, etc.).

In such a list, each object record is a table row displaying the object name and the relevant parameters of the object (for example, for each forum topic, the author of the topic, the category the topic belongs to, the date of last the update, and the number of replies to the topic are displayed). Above and below each list, the total number of items contained in the list is displayed. Below the list, you can adjust the number of items to be displayed per page (10, 25, or 100). In multi-page lists, you can navigate between the pages by clicking the page number shortcuts above and below the list. To go to the first/last page of the list, click First Page or Last Page, accordingly.

In lengthy lists, you can find items using the search function, or sort items by the available parameters. To find an item, type your search criteria into the input box above the list, and click Search. The list will show the items matching the search criteria. To return back to viewing all items, click Show All.

Note: All the above described principles also apply to the list of design template categories on the Design step of the Sitemonster Pro Wizard. For information on using these options on the Design step, read section Create a Site Design.

To choose a list object for further operation, select the check box to the left of the object's name.

To choose all objects in the list, select the check box at the head of the column.

To perform operations with certain objects in a list, select the required objects and click an operation shortcut above the list (for example, Remove Selected).

In the list of guestbook messages, the status of a message is indicated by a status icon in the Status (S) column (not archived or archived ).

In most lists, you can configure or edit a list object by:

• Clicking the object name, if it is clickable (for example, the post names on the Content tab of the Blog page)

In some lists, you will also see shortcuts to managing the objects' dependent items - such as the View/Edit Comments shortcut for each blog post on the Content tab of the Blog page.
