About Editor Grid View

The Editor Grid View offers a detailed view of the content in a specific system.

Each item is displayed in a separate line along with all of its properties, status, and data.

About Customized Columns

Choose to view additional data by adding columns by 3 categories:

• General Columns
  • Columns include basic deployable properties.
  • Auto Play column shows if a deployable has an Auto Play and Auto Play Type (Once, Always, Once a day, etc.)
  • Created by - see "Created By" filter in Editor Segments & Filters
    • Limitations

      1. The "Created By" filter will display the following as "Unknown":

      • Deactivated users (e.g. user no longer works at the company)
      • User doesn't have User Management permissions and the list of users is listed as "Unknown"
      • Items copied in Backoffice
      • Items duplicated prior to Aug 28, 2022
      • Items created before 2020 (no activity log records)

      2. Folders are not filtered, only the items in the folders

  • Builder notes- notes left on the item from its creation / settings screen (can't be edited from the Grid view, only from the item screen)
  • URL column refers to the inner URL value in Resources (Article, Video) and Shuttles.
  • Technical Data column is an advanced column that provides more information in certain cases - can be used for searching rule based on a jQuery term, etc. It's not meant to contain all the technical data, e.g. Smart Walk-Thru autoplay information won't show here (by design)
  • Project Data Columns
    • Project data fields are new input fields a user can use for project management purposes.

• • Fields have mouse-over indication and are editable inline by double-clicking a specific cell.
  • Choose from 4 pre-defined columns - Due Date, Project Notes, Assigned To, Status.
  • The Editor and WalkMe Share use the same metadata fields - data will be sync automatically.
• Environments Columns
  • All available environments in the system will be displayed in the column selector.
  • Each environment will be a new column.

Click on the Columns button:

About Filtering and Searching content

• Users can use flexible Excel-like filters on a column level and select one or more values
  
  
• Users can create complex filters by creating filters according to multiple columns
• Users can find items quickly by using the hot-search functionality
  • Note - search will apply only to visible columns
• Users can combine filters and search altogether
• A "Auto Play + SWT" suggested filter will appear beneath any saved filters

Saving a Filter

By saving a preconfigured filter in the Editor Grid View, you can save all the page controllers and filters that you have a preference to and easily get back to it those same filter views without having to reconfigure it again and again.
