Working with Lists

When setting up page or block modules on the Edit step of the Plesk Sitebuilder Wizard, you will see lists of various system objects (blog posts, online store orders, etc.).

In such a list, each object record is a table row displaying the object name and the relevant parameters of the object (for example, for each forum topic, the author of the topic, the category the topic belongs to, the date of last the update, and the number of replies to the topic are displayed). Above and below each list, the total number of items contained in the list is displayed. Below the list, you can adjust the number of items to be displayed per page (10, 25, or 100). In multi-page lists, you can navigate between the pages by clicking the page number shortcuts above and below the list. To go to the first/last page of the list, click First or Last, accordingly.

In lengthy lists, you can find items using the search function, or sort items by certain parameters. To find an item, type a search criterion into the input box above the list, and click Search. The list will show the items matching the search criterion. To return to the full list of items, click Show All.

Searching for Objects

To sort list items by a certain parameter in ascending or descending order, click the parameter's title in the column heading. The order of sorting will be indicated by a small triangle displayed next to the parameter's title.

Sorting Objects

In some lists, you can filter items by a certain attribute by selecting it from the list (for example, on the Orders tab of your eShop page, you can filter out orders of certain status: All, New, Paid, Processed, Backorder, Cancelled, Completed, Failed).

Filtering Objects

Note: All the above described principles also apply to the list of design template categories on the Design step of the Plesk Sitebuilder Wizard. For information on using these options on the Design step, read section Creating Site Design.

To choose a list object for further operation, select the check box to the left of the object's name.

Selecting Particular Objects in a List

To choose all objects in the list, select the check box at the head of the column.

Selecting All List Objects at Once

To perform operations with certain objects in a list, select the required objects and click an operation shortcut above the list (for example, Remove Selected).

In the list of guestbook messages, the status of a message is indicated by icon in the Status (S) column (not archived Activate or archived Deactivate).

In most lists, individual operation shortcuts are displayed for each item. For example, for each product category on the Categories tab on the eShop page, there are arrows (and ) used to change the order in which the categories are displayed on the site page; and the Edit icon Edit icon used to open the categories in editing mode.

In most lists, you can configure or edit a list object by:

In some lists, you will also see shortcuts to managing the objects' dependent items - such as the View/Edit Comments shortcut for each blog post on the Content tab of the Blog page.
