What is the Articles View?

Updated on

Overview of the Articles View

The All Articles View in ScreenSteps provides a comprehensive list of every article within a specific site, without displaying the usual organizational hierarchy of manuals and chapters. This view is designed to help users quickly access, search, and filter articles regardless of their placement in the site's structure.

  • The All Articles View shows all articles in a site in one place.
  • This view does not display manuals or chapters—just the articles themselves.

Key Terms

Manuals and Chapters: The primary way ScreenSteps organizes content, grouping related articles together.
All Articles View: A flat list of all articles, ignoring the manual and chapter hierarchy.
Filters: Tools that help you narrow down articles by criteria such as tags, assigned users, status, posted date, or rating.

  • Manuals and chapters create a structured hierarchy for articles.
  • The All Articles View ignores this hierarchy for easier searching and filtering.

Why the Articles View Matters

The All Articles View is useful when you need to find, review, or manage articles without navigating through the site's organizational structure. For example, if you want to see all articles assigned to a specific person or with a certain tag, this view makes it easy to locate them.

  • Helps users quickly find articles based on different criteria.
  • Supports efficient article management and review.
  • Removes the need to navigate through manuals and chapters for certain tasks.
