Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to add certain fields to display in the backend area. Currently the title will show but we want to add additional areas to show when you first go to a multi-viewer page that lists all the data you have entered.

Example: for our articles section in the backend, it currently just shows the title but we would like to add an area so it also shows the date and article id number. I know the article id number would be more complicated but was also wondering about adding basic fields.

I have attached a screenshot to help illustrate what I am referring to, the areas we want to add are highlighted in yellow.

Thanks!
April

Hi April!

Yes, absolutely -- if you go to your section editor, look for the "ListPage Fields" field. Put the field name for any field in that section there, and it'll show up on the list page in the admin.

Give that a try and let me know if it works for you. :)

That works great! I added the date field.

Is there anyway to pull in the article id number to the list page? I know that is a little more tricky since it is not really a field. Our editors want to be able to quickly see the id number without having to go into every article one by one.

Thanks!
April

I think you are referring to the sequential article number generated by the system. If so, the system field name is "num". There are also other system fields that can also be included ... see attachment.

You are very welcome ... you may want to see the system fields documentation here for additional functionality:
