User's Manual

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

· #. 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. For a Menu Item, the Title will display in the Menu. For an Article,

Section, or Category, the Title may optionally be displayed on the web page. This entry is required.

You can open the item for editing by clicking on the Title.

· Published. Whether the item has been published or not. You can change the Published state by

clicking on the icon in this 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.

· # Categories. The number of Categories within this Section. Categories are added in the Category

Manager .

· # Active. The number of active Articles within this Section or Category. Active articles include

published and unpublished articles but not Articles that have been moved to Trash.

· # Trash. The number of Articles from this Section or Category that are currently in Trash. These

articles can be seen in the Article Trash screen. An Article in Trash is still stored on the site and may

be either Restored or Deleted permanently.

· 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.
