The list view displays a list of records stored on the current page, grouped by type. The List module is commonly used for records that have no dedicated backend module, for example website users and groups.

The list view has action icons in the module header including:

  1. Create new record (a wizard appears to let you choose which type)
  2. Edit page properties of the current page
  3. Clear the cache of the current page
  4. Refresh the List view
  5. Create internal note
  6. View Show or hide search or The clipboard
  7. Share Copy an URL to this page or bookmark it for quick access

Editing a record of a certain type

If there are already database records stored on the current page, each record type features its own action buttons for available actions:

Example of the action icons available for record type "Website Usergroup"

In this example the first button can be used to edit the user group, the second button to hide or unhide it, the third button to delete it. The button with the three dots offers additional options.

Finding a record in a long list

If there are a large number of records you can use the search box to search for a record containing a certain word.

To make the search box visible, Select "Show Search" from the "View" dropdown.

It is also possible to include subpages of the current page by choosing the number of levels (for performance reasons) in which to search.

If you do not know on which page the record could be found you can also use the Backend search.

The search can be opened by selecting the magnifying glass in the top right corner of the toolbar or by pressing the Cmd + K keystroke on MacOS or the Ctrl + K keystroke on Windows and Linux systems.
