Entity overview's new UX/UI

Introduction

The Entity Overview is your main hub for finding, organizing, and managing content.

The new interface makes search faster, filters smarter, and bulk actions simpler. So, editors can spend less time navigating and more time creating.

The main improvements are:

• Target the search: You can search specifically within either titles or slugs.

• Use the extended fields as filters: Administrators can configure extended fields to be available as filters. Editors can select what to use.

• Configure the search result: Administrators can configure how many parameters the search result can display. Editors can select what to display.

• Set up an advanced search: Combine many filters for a refined search.

• Leverage specific filters for editorial selections: Instead of by Context and Tag filters, you can filter editorial selections by Mode (Autofill or Manual) and Type (Localized or Not localized).

• Perform bulk operations: The search results allow editors to choose and perform actions on multiple entities at the same time.

Target the search

The new UI adds the option to search through titles or slugs, so ignoring the entity content.

Use the extended fields as filters

Alongside the standard filters, administrators can make extended fields available as filters. For example, a “Genre” or “Author” field.

Editors can then choose which ones to apply, creating a more tailored search experience.

Configure the search result

Administrators and editors can shape how results appear:

• Administrators control what parameters the search results can display.

• Editors choose which columns to show using the View details option.

Most entity types (except editorial selections) also support a grid view, giving a visual overview of content.

By selecting View details, the list of available columns displays for selection:

Additionally, all entities—excluding editorial selections—provide a grid view for the search result:

Set up an advanced search

Select the sliders button to access the advanced search.

The advanced search panel displays, which allows combining further search parameters. This replaces the old, single-field search with a far more powerful tool.

Leverage specific filters for editorial selections

Editorial selections group other entities to promote them, so they need specific search parameters.

The new UI provides filters by:

• Mode (Autofill or Manual): If automatic rules determine the editorial selection content or editors manually fill it.

• Type (Localized or Not localized): If the editorial selection content change per language or its main properties have different translations per language.

Perform bulk operations

You can now act on multiple entities at once.

Select one or more results to reveal a toolbar at the bottom of the page, where you can act (for example tag, publish, or unpublish) all selected items. This turns routine tasks into a one-step action.
