Views - General

General Settings

These global settings can be accessed by clicking the cog icon in the top right corner of any view. They apply to all views:

• Name: The identifier for your view that appears in the admin menu
• Post Type: Select which WordPress post type this view will manage
• Enable Default View: When enabled, adds a "Default" tab that shows the standard WordPress admin screen
  • Useful when you want to keep access to the traditional WordPress interface
  • Helps during transition periods or for specific tasks that require the default view
• Shortcode: A copyable shortcode to embed the view on your frontend
  • Format: [sleek-view-widget id="123"]
  • Allows creating interactive content displays on public pages

These settings form the foundation of your view and determine how it integrates with WordPress. The Default View option is particularly useful for users who want to maintain access to WordPress's built-in interface alongside SleekView's enhanced visualization options.

When you click "Create a view" in the SleekView admin screen, you'll first enter a name for your view. After that, you'll be presented with a view configuration interface split into three main sections: the preview area in the center, configuration tabs on the right, and data filtering options at the top.
