Can data be changed in the Admin List?
Admin Lists can be sorted, filtered, display different columns, and be used to update data directly.
Sorting Data in an Admin List
If the list headings have blue text, an arrow head next to the heading can be used to sort the column in ascending or descending order
Filtering Data in an Admin List
Controls above the list can be used to select values to filter the contents of the Admin List:
- Click on the control to open it
- Click on a value
- Repeat on other controls to apply multiple filters
- Click the ‘filter’ button to filter the list
- Click ‘All’ to un-filter and bring back all the records
Note that the number of records changes when a filter is applied. The number represents the number of records meeting the criteria set by the filter(s) applied.
Display Different Columns in an Admin List
Above the Admin List, to the right of the label for the type of data in the list, is a control that will display the column views available for that list. Change the columns that are displayed by selecting one of the views.
Update Data in an Admin List
Some data values can be edited directly in an admin list. The value will be updated as if the individual data record was opened, the data value changed, and the ‘Update’ button clicked.
