Written by  in 4 K2 Items and has been read 7337 times.

The K2 Items Dashboard is the centre for your K2 item management and the layout is relativley self explanatory.
This guide is relevant to both V2.4.1 and V2.5

The view is split in to several columns across the page and so I shall describe from left to right.

  • # Column
    Used to indicate which line item we are looking at.
  • Tick Box Column
    Used to select an item so that an additional function can be carried out.
  • Title Column
    Displays the titles of the K2 items that have been created.
  • Featured Column
    If you set a K2 item to be featured, then a green tick icon will be displayed, as default, featured is off and will display a red cross.
  • Published Column
    Displays if a K2 item had been published, with a green tick or is unpublished with a red cross.
  • Order Column
    Allows you to reorder the K2 items within a specific Category, this is useful for certain types of display ordering.
  • Category Column

  • ID Column
    The displays the incremental number that is assigned with every new K2 Item created.

In addition to these columns, there are some tools to assist in filtering your content, these include.
