Navigate Entity list pages

Just like there is a global and project navigation menu, each entity list page will display its own page navigation menu.

Page navigation menu

Page name

Page name will always be displayed on the top left-hand corner of the page.

Favorite

The star directly to the right of the Page name allows users to mark a page as a Favorite, which will add the page to the Favorites drop-down in both the Global and Project navigation menus.

Views (Layout)

Entity List pages can be viewed in three main ways: Detail, Thumbnail or List view.

Layout views

  1. Detail view
    • The detail view allows users to take advantage of Entity list and Entity detail pages at the same time. Users can see information about a single entity record, such as a single Shot, in the right-hand pane, while able to select which entities to view the details of in the left-hand pane.

      Detail view

  2. Thumbnail view
    • The thumbnail view presents entity records as a gallery of viewable thumbnails.

      Thumbnail view

  3. List view 
    • The list view is the main view of most Entity list pages, allowing users to see information about a list of entity records.

      List view

Views (Pages)

Additional views are displayed to the right of the page navigation menu.

Pages can contain many different views. For example, users might create a page for daily reviews, that has several views to display:

  • View 1: Versions for review
  • View 2: Playlists the Versions for review are in
  • View 3: Notes from the latest review

Pages can have as many views as users want to create.

From Fields, users can manage which entity fields are displayed on a page or not.

This can be done either by:

Fields can also be added by clicking on the Insert Column button, on the right side of the column headers, and choosing the field from the list. To remove a field, right-click over the field header and select Hide Column.

Admins can use the Manage [Entity] Fields option to hide fields they do not want accessible to any users on a page, delete fields, and add new fields.

Depending on the entity, the entity page menu may display the following menu items.

  • Pipeline allows users to bring in fields related to specific pipeline steps. This way, users can see information about many entities and many Tasks within those entities at the same time.

A Gantt chart displays a project schedule through a series of horizontal bars spread out over time, with each bar reflecting the start date, due date, and duration of a planned task. When the Gantt chart is displayed on a Tasks entity page, Gantt Display options will become visible.
