· Published. The Article's Published status. The possible values are shown under the main window, as
shown below:
You can toggle the Published state on and off by clicking on the icon in this column. A status of
Pending means that an Article's Start Publishing Date is in the future. You can hover on the icon to
see an Article's Start and Stop Publishing dates.
· Front Page. Whether or not the Article will show on the Front Page. You can change an Article's
published state by clicking on the icon in the column.
· 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'. Note that the
display order on a page is set in the Parameters - Advanced section for each Menu Item. If that order
is set to use something other than 'Order' (for example, 'Title - Alphabetical'), then the order value in
this screen will be ignored. If the Menu Item Order parameter is set to use 'Order', then the items will
display on the page based on the order in this screen.
· Access Level. Who has access to this item. Current options are:
o Public: Everyone has access
o Registered: Only registered users have access
o Special: Only users with author status or higher have access
You can change an item's Access Level by clicking on the icon in the column.
· Section. The Section this item belongs to. Clicking on the Section Title opens the Section for editing.
See Section Manager - Edit.

editing. See Category Manager - Edit.

· Date. The date this Article was created. This date is added automatically by Joomla!, but you may
change it in the Parameters - Article section of the Article Manager - New/Edit.
· Hits. The number of hits for an Article. A hit is the number of times a page has been viewed. Hits
can be reset to 0 in the Article Manager - New/Edit screen.
· 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.
· Display #. The number of items to display on one page. If there are more items than this number,
you can use the page navigation buttons (Start, Prev, Next, End, and page numbers) to navigate
between pages. Note that if you have a large number of items, it may be helpful to use the Filter
options, located above the column headings, to limit which items display.
