Feedback

A Feedback layout lists the View’s rows as items people can upvote and discuss, such as feature requests or a public roadmap. Choose Feedback as the layout’s Type; the sections below follow the layout’s Data section, which Data Filtering describes. The list loads every row its filters match, 500 at a time.

Cards

  • Status: "The terms of this taxonomy will be used for the card status." Each item shows its term, such as Planned or Done, as a badge.
  • Category: "The terms of this taxonomy will be used for the card category." Each item shows its term as a label, and the add and edit forms offer it.
  • Show upvotes shows an upvote button and count on each item.
  • Show edit button: "This will allow users to edit the feedback items." Each item its author wrote gets edit and delete buttons, which work when the author may also edit or delete that post. Once someone has written more than one item, Show my feedback narrows the list to their own.

With a source other than a post type only Status, Category and Show search remain, and the first two list the source’s columns.

Filter

  • Show search adds a search field that searches the items’ titles, content, statuses and categories.
  • Show sort options adds a sort menu: Most popular, Newest or Oldest.

Submission

Show add button: “This will allow users to add feedback items.” An Add feedback button opens a form with Title, Content and Category. Submitting needs permission to create posts of the View’s post type. The item is published when the user may publish those posts and saved as pending review otherwise, and the submitter’s own upvote is counted.

Comments

  • Show comments shows each item’s comment count and its comments.
  • Allow comments lets logged-in users add comments and edit their own. It needs comments to be open in Settings > Discussion and on the post. Replies nest when Settings > Discussion enables threaded comments, to the depth set there.

Conditions and delete

The layout’s Conditions decide who sees its tab, and each switch above can carry its own conditions once it is on; see Conditions. Delete layout removes the layout when you save the View.
