Containers Tab

The Containers sub-tab allows users to view, edit, search for, and create Containers.  Under the Containers tab, clicking on the "View Working Containers" will display all the saved/published Containers on the host in a paginated list (see figure below).  Clicking on the "Add/Edit Container" will allow you to add a new Container to the website you are working on.  The Containers sub-tab also allows users to filter searching for Containers by Host, by Structure, and by keyword search.

The Containers search results display in four columns:

• Status - displays "Live" for published containers and is empty for containers that are saved or in working status.
• Title - displays the *title of the Container.
  
• Host - displays the host where the container lives.
• Mod. Date - displays the date and time of the last modification of the container.

*In the search results area a left click on a title will open the container properties window, while a right-click on a title will produce a menu list that allows users to Edit, Move, *Publish/Unpublish/Archive the container.

*Some menu options are dynamic, based upon the current container status.
