Dashboard

Vrite dashboard is intended to allow for easy, but comprehensive content management right beside your content.

Content Group Management

The Vrite dashboard provides both a Kanban and a Table view, which you can easily switch between using the dropdown from the toolbar at the top.

Both views allow you to select content pieces, choose what content group they’re assigned to, and manage the content groups themselves.

Kanban View

A Kanban is great when working in a team or managing content production for a technical publication. It allows you to categorize and clearly visualize the current stage of the given piece.

Vrite dashboard - Kanban

The Kanban cards and columns map one-to-one with Vrite’s content pieces and content groups.

The Kanban can be managed primarly via drag and drop mechanism. You can d&d:

  • content pieces within a group to order them;
  • content pieces them between different groups to move them;
  • content groups themselves, to rearrange them (make sure to “grab” a group by its padding, rather than the folder icon or content piece card);

Use the New content piece button at the bottom of a column to create a new content piece inside it. For new content groups, use the New group button at the very end of the Kanban.

Content Group Menu

Vrite dashboard - Kanban (menu)

Every content group has an input field to name it and a dropdown menu. From this menu, you can:

  • Copy ID - copies content group’s ID into the clipboard; Useful when working with the Vrite API, JavaScript SDK and when configuring certain Vrite settings;
  • Delete - deletes the content group together with all the nested content groups and all content pieces assigned to them.

Content Piece Card

In Kanban, every content piece is represented as a card that displays a summary of its metadata, including the date, title, description, assigned tags, and members.

You can click anywhere on a card to select it and open it in a Content Piece side panel. To select the piece and immediately move to the editor, use the Open in editor button.

Table View

The table view is especially useful when you want to get a broad overview of all the content and its metadata.

Vrite dashboard - Table

In the table view, you can select which metadata is visible, and in what order using the options in the table header. You can:

  • Hide specific columns using Hide column button from the column menu;
  • Rearrange the columns by d&d the headers;
  • Show/hide any of the available columns using the + menu at the end of the header;

  • Delete
