* '''Search by Text.''' Enter part of the search term and click the Search icon. The search may be of one or more fields. ''Hover'' to see a ''Tooltip'' indicating which fields will be searched. In some cases a different format is required. For Example, to '''Search by ID''' enter "id:xx", where "xx" is the item ID number (for example, "id:9").
* '''Filter Options.''' Click to display or hide the additional filters.
*'''Clear.''' Click to clear the Filter field and restore the list to its unfiltered state.
*'''Ordering.''' Shows the current table ordering field. Select from the drop down list to change the order or click a column heading. Ordering may be in ascending or descending order. The column heading toggles between ascending and descending order.
*'''Number to Display.''' Shows the number of items in a list. The default for a site is 20 but this may be changed in the global configuration. Select from the drop-down list to change the number displayed. If you select too many complex items they will be slow to deliver and display.
'''Filter Options'''
*'''Filter by Status.'''  
*'''Filter by Current Stage.'''

*'''New'''. Opens the editing screen to create a new item.
*'''Actions:''' Reveals a list of actions for selected Items. Check one or more Item checkboxes to activate the list.
*'''Enable'''. Makes the selected item available for use on your website.
*'''Disable'''. Makes the selected items unavailable for use on your website.
*'''Default:''' Makes the selected item the default item. The default star symbol ([[Image:icon-16-default.png]]) will show in the Default column, indicating that this is now the default item.
*'''Check-In'''. Checks-in the selected items. Works with one or multiple items selected.
*'''Trash'''. Changes the status of the selected items to indicate that they are trashed.  Trashed items can still be recovered by selecting "Trashed" in the Select Status filter and changing the status of the items to Published or Unpublished as preferred.  To permanently delete trashed items, select "Trashed" in the Select Status filter, select the items to be permanently deleted, then click the Empty Trash toolbar icon.
