Working with Entries

Browsing Entries

Access your module from the main navigation to browse entries.

View Options

Switch between different views using the view selector:

  • Card View: Visual grid layout
  • List View: Compact list
  • Map View: Geographic display
  • Table View: Data table
  • Feed View: Social media style
  • Kanban View: Board-based interface

On a Kanban board with swimlanes, the column headers stay pinned to the top while you scroll, so you can always tell which column you are looking at on a long board.

Filtering Entries

Use filters to narrow down entries:

Keyword Search: Enter search terms in the search box

Attribute Filters: Use filter dropdowns for specific attributes

Label Filters: Filter by labels

Date Filters: Filter by creation or update date

Clear Filters: Reset all filters to see all entries

Sorting Entries

Click column headers (in table view) or use sort options to reorder entries.

Pinning Entries

Platform admins and super admins can pin any entry to always show it at the top of the module overview, regardless of the active sort or filter settings. This is useful for highlighting featured content or keeping important entries permanently visible.

How to pin an entry:

  • Grid, Tile, List, Feed layouts: Open the entry's context menu (β‹―) and select "Pin". The entry will move to the top of the overview and display a pin icon next to its title.
  • Table layout: Use the Pin action in the dedicated action column at the right of each row.

To unpin, open the same menu and select "Unpin".

πŸ’‘ Pinning is only available when viewing the module in its own dedicated page. It is not available when the module is embedded inside a group, event, or view. Pinning is also not supported in Map and Kanban layouts.


Creating Entries

Adding a New Entry

Steps:

  1. Navigate to your module
  2. Click "+ Entry"
  3. Fill out all sections:
    • Enter required information
    • Upload files and images
    • Select options from dropdowns
    • Add platform content links
  4. Save the entry

Entry Sections

Header Section: Basic information and main image

Custom Sections: Module-specific fields you configured

Content Blocks: Rich text and images

Documents: File attachments, folders, and external links. Word, Excel and PowerPoint files open in the online editor rather than downloading, and you can create blank Office documents from the add menu.

Platform Content: Links to specific user databases, organization databases, custom modules, or views

Tabs: Where your administrator has grouped sections into tabs, switch between them at the top of the entry. Tabs you aren't allowed to fill in appear read-only, and tabs with nothing to show are hidden.

Saving and Publishing

The entry header carries the save actions, so they stay reachable no matter how far down the form you have scrolled.

  • Save keeps your work. A draft saves at any time, even with required fields still empty, so you can stop and come back.
  • Save and publish saves first and then publishes β€” but only once every required field is filled.

If something is missing when you publish, the entry does not go live. Instead you are taken straight to the first missing field: the form opens the tab or step it lives on, highlights it, and places your cursor in it. Every other missing field is highlighted at the same time, so you can see the full list of what's left.

On the add form you can move freely between steps without filling them in order, and jump back to whatever is blocking publication.

Tips for Creating Entries

  • Required Fields: Marked with an asterisk (*)
  • Rich Text: Use formatting toolbar for styled text
  • File Uploads: Drag and drop or click to browse
  • Platform Content: Search and select from existing content
  • Save Draft: Save incomplete entries to finish later (if enabled for the module)
  • Publish Button: Click the publish button (which may be custom-labeled by your administrator) to make your entry live
