Dashboard overview

Content list panel

The content within a dashboard is created by adding panels, and it is possible to add any number of panels to the dashboard. Below is an example of what the content list panel can look like on a dashboard:
note
Please note that as of our September 2023 release, content lists now remember what page you were on as you are browsing. This means if you select a piece of content from a content list and then return to the page after viewing the piece of content, it will remember which page you were initially viewing
note
Please note that we have improved Publisher filters to remember user defined filter selections when reviewing articles. This means that when a user filters to view certain content, after browsing for and viewing an article and then returning to the previous page, the filter selection will be saved. Additionally, as of our September 2023 release, we have added a 'Clear filter' button for users to quickly and effectively clear any filters they have added and return to the standard content view.
