Content on Your Site: Filtering, Editing, and Deleting Comments

Within MediaKron, users can comment on content items, as shown below. To organize these comments, you can use the filtering, editing, and deleting functions built into the site.

To view the comments under a particular piece of content, click on the small arrow in the center at the top of the comments box. This will expand the box and show comments under this item.

Comments Workspace
To work with comments, first be sure that you are logged in and then select Manage Project.

Then, from the toolbar on the left, select Content.

Then, under Content on this toolbar, select Comments.

This will bring you to the Comments workspace within MediaKron. You will see comments currently on the site listed in this space.

Filtering Comments
To sort comments, you can filter by Author, Item Title, or Topic. If you would like to sort by Author or Item Title, enter the text in the space provided. If you would like to filter by Topic, select the topic from the drop-down menu provided.

Once you have set your filtering criteria, click APPLY.

You should see that the content listed is now filtered by the criteria you set. In the example below, the content was filtered by Item Topic, Seinfeld. In the list, only items within this topic are now shown.

Editing Comments
In order to edit a comment, locate and select edit under the Ops. column.

This will bring you to an editing space. Here, you can edit the comment. Feel free to use the styling functions provided in the horizontal bar above the text box. Once you have edited the comment, you can Preview the comment. Then, click Save.

A message will now appear verifying that your comment has been edited and posted.

Deleting One Comment
In order to delete a comment, locate and select delete under the Ops. column.

You will be asked to confirm that you would like to delete this comment. If you would like to delete it, click DELETE. If you would no longer like to delete the comment and would like to return to the previous screen, click Cancel.

A message should appear verifying that the item has been deleted.

Deleting Multiple Comments
In order to delete multiple comments at once, you can check the boxes on the left side of the list to select the comments.

If you would like to delete the entire list of comments on this page, check the Comment box at the top of the list. This should highlight every comment in this list on this page.

To select all of the comments in this view, click on the Select All Rows In This View button.

Once you have selected the comments you wish to delete, select the Delete item option under the Operations toolbar, which is above the comments list. Then click EXECUTE.

You will be asked to confirm that you would like to delete these comments. If you would like to delete them, click Confirm. If you would no longer like to delete these comments and would like to return to the previous screen, click Cancel.

A message should appear verifying that the items have been deleted.
