Displaying nodes and content
On the Nodes tab, clicking All Content Items in the left panel displays all the content items available in the right panel. When you select a node, the content on that node is displayed.
You can refine the All Content Items displayed in the right panel by selecting from the Showing drop-down:
- All Items
- Series
- Season
- Dynamic Group
- Editorial Content
Managing nodes
This enables you to choose which root nodes are displayed by default. Select Manage Nodes from the
menu next to the Sort by: field, and in the Manage Node Visibility window, select or clear the relevant fields and click out of the window to save the changes.
Sorting and re-ordering nodes
In the left-panel, the Sort by: field enables you to sort nodes by alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order. When you select the Display Order option, handles are provided next to the nodes to enable you to drag and drop them to different positions in the list. To reduce the chance of making unintentional changes, a confirmation message will be displayed if you reorder nodes within the same parent. If you try to move a node to a different node, a message will be displayed giving you the option to move or copy the node. See also Moving and copying nodes.
You can disable re-ordering by selecting Lock Nodes from the
menu next to the Sort by: field.
Re-ordering content items on nodes
Ordering mode allows you to manually change the order of the items displayed in the right-panel, enabling you to organise content items here before adding them to subscriptions or rails.
When Ordering Mode is applied, the grid is split into two sections: Manually Ordered at the top, followed by Ordered by Creation Date beneath. In the Manually Ordered section, you can arrange items as required, while the remaining items are ordered by creation date as normal. You cannot change the order of the items in the creation date section, and items in the grid will remain in the configured order when Ordering Mode is switched off.
Clicking a header row category when Ordering Mode is active switches it off.
