Grid Columns

Workflow Status

  • Draft: Entry is being worked on.

  • Published: Changes are finalised and visible on your site (if linked).

  • No Text: No changes made since last publish.

  • Archived: Only shown if “Archived” is selected in filters. Hidden from the main view.

  • Content Type: Indicates the data type used during creation. See the Entry Creation Guide for more details.

  • Updated Date: Shows when the entry was last edited. Every change creates a save state (rollbacks available via Eploy Success Team).

Search and Filter

The Search and Filter tools are located on the left-hand side of the Entries screen.

You can search by Keyword or filter by Content Type, Content Owner, Publish Status and Workflow Status.

Clicking Switch to Advanced Search will open the Advanced Search window giving you additional search options and includes the ability to search for Archived Entries, or Entries moved to the Recycle Bin.
