Column Headers

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.
• Client Name. The name of the Banner Client. You may click on the name to open the Client for editing.
• Contact. The Contact for this Client.
• # Banners. The number of Banners defined for this Client.

• 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 (where applicable).

Toolbar

At the top right you will see the toolbar:

• Delete. To delete one or more items, select them and click this button. The selected items will be deleted. Note: only empty items can be deleted.

• Edit. Select one item and click on this button to open it in edit mode. If you have more than one item selected (where applicable), the first item will be opened. You can also open an item for editing by clicking on its Title or Name.

• New. Click on this button to create a new item. You will enter the New page for this item.

• Help. Opens this Help Screen.

Clients and Categories Links

At the top left, above the Filter, you will see 3 links as shown below:

• Banners. Press this link to navigate to the Banner Manager page.
• Clients. This link is disabled, since we are already in the Clients page.
• Categories Press this link to navigate to the Banner Category Manager page.

List Filters

Filter by Partial Title

You can filter the list of items either by entering in part of the title or the ID number.

• Filter. In the upper left corner just above the column headings is a Filter field and two buttons, as shown below:
  
  If you have a large number of items on the list, you can use this filter to find the desired item(s) quickly. Enter either part of the title and press 'Go' to display the matching items. You can enter in whole words or part of a word. For example, "ooml" will match all titles with the word "Joomla!" in them. You can also search for a specific item id by entering "id:" followed by the id number. For example, "id:123" will find the item with an id of '123'.
