Column Headers[edit]

Click on the column heading to sort the list by that column's value.

  • 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.
  • Status. The published status of the item.
  • Client. The Client for this Banner. Clients are entered using the Banner Client Manager.
  • Contact. The Contact for this Client.
  • Published: Help-4x-icon-tick.png The number of published items. Click the numbered button to show a list of just those items.
  • Unpublished: Help-4x-icon-cross.png The number of unpublished items. Click the numbered button to show a list of just those items.
  • Archived: Whether and how many items has been archived. You see the Archived items by clicking on the icon in this column.
  • Trashed Help-4x-icon-bin.png The number of trashed items. Click the numbered button to show a list of just those items.
  • Purchase Type. The banner purchase type of the client. This is used to indicate how the client purchased the display time for their banners - monthly, yearly, etc...
  • ID. This is a unique identification number for this item assigned automatically by Joomla. It is used to identify the item internally, and you cannot change this number. When creating a new item, this field displays "0" until you save the new entry, at which point a new ID is assigned to it.
