List Filters

Filter by Partial Title

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

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 or an ID number and press 'Search' to display the matching items. You can type whole words or part of a word. For example, "ooml" will match all titles with the word "Joomla!" in them.

Filter by Status, Category, Access, Language, Tag and Max Levels

In the upper right area, above the column headings, there are 6 drop-down list boxes as shown below:

The selections may be combined. Only items matching both selections will display in the list.
