Pages List View
Overview
The Pages list view provides access to functionality relating to creating new content, uploading,
and editing new content. It provides a view of the pages, files, and directories that make up the
site, and the additional functionality that is available for each file and directory. This area can be
navigated to from the Content button in the global navigation bar or Content > Pages.
Hover over the row corresponding to the content for more options. Both PCF pages, as well as
other editable file types such as TXT, HTML, and INC files can be edited. With Binary Management
enabled, images can also be stored, accessed, and edited on the staging server.
The Pages view includes the following features and functionality:
Breadcrumb
Enables a user to click a link to navigate to the parent directory or any direct ancestor directory.
It includes the clickable Home icon to quickly navigate to the site root. Clicking a linked parent or
ancestor directory displays the files and subdirectories in that directory, while clicking the current
directory link will bring up the Access Settings modal (for users with the proper authority level).

The New button provides access to templates for creating new content. The templates that are
available for creating new content are dependent upon the site configuration and access settings,
as not all content templates may be available for all content areas.
For more information, visit the New Content page.
Upload
The Upload feature of OU Campus provides the ability to upload files to both the staging and
production servers, as well as any configured publish targets. The ability to upload a file is available
in the Pages list view, as well as in conjunction with other features such as the Insert/Edit Image
tool in the WYSIWYG Editor.
For more information, visit the Upload page.
Filter/Quick Search/Advanced Search
By just typing into the field, the current list view will be filtered using the Filter tool. Clicking the tag
icon will allow for filtering by tags. Clicking Advanced Search will bring up the Advanced Search
modal for more specific searches.
For more information, visit the Filter and Advanced Search pages.
Content List
The list can be sorted by file type, file name, date/time it was last modified, and by status. Hovering
over a row will reveal additional options under the Options heading. A user can switch between
viewing the files that exist on the staging or production server, or choose an alternative publish
target from the Production drop-down. The list view includes the following columns:

• Checkbox: For selecting multiple files and/or directories on which to perform an action.
Selecting the checkbox in the column header selects all files listed, even if they are paginated
(that is, more items exist in the directory than are shown on the current page). Multiple content
items may also be selected individually. When selecting files individually and navigating via
pagination, the previously selected files continue to be selected. The available actions will
depend upon the status of the files in the selection. When the list view is filtered and the select
all checkbox is used, then all of the filtered results are selected. Manually filtered and selected
results are also persistent when navigating by pagination.
For files checked out to the current user, Publish, Copy, and/or Move to Recycle Bin are
available. When files checked out to others are selected, only Copy is available.
• File Icon: The file icon provides a visual indication of the file type; for example, media file type,
image file type, PDF, Word document, etc.
• Name: Shows the file name and extension, which can be clicked to enter Preview mode. The
functionality present in Preview is dependent upon the file type. Previewing a PCF page shows
the preview of the page. Previewing supported image types brings up the Image Editor. Other
binary file types such as ZIPs are downloaded. The Name column also shows the file size in
bytes or kilobytes.
• Status: Shows the icon indicating page status.
• Modified: Shows the date and time of the last save.
• Options: Additional actions and operations are available under the Options column when the
file is selected via checkbox or hovered over. See below for more information.
