Add Date range Filters for Scheduled Content & Moderate Tab

Created on 26 January 2025, 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

The existing filtering options in the "Scheduled Content" and "Moderate" tabs are limited, making it difficult for users to find specific content efficiently. For example, admins cannot filter by date range, which is a common use case when managing content schedules or approvals. This results in frustration and added time spent sifting through large volumes of content.

Proposed resolution

The filtering options in the "Scheduled Content" and "Moderate" tabs could really use an upgrade! Adding filters like a date range picker would be a game-changer, making it way easier to sort through and find content by specific time periods. This would save a ton of time for admins managing a lot of scheduled or moderated content.

    I'm not really clear on the use case for this. How would you know when the content you were looking for was edited last? Is the idea that you are searching for your own changes on a specific date?

  • Hey Pame,

    Currently, there's no date range filter, making it difficult for content admins to efficiently browse and filter content. By implementing this feature, content admins will have improved access to both moderated (draft) content and scheduled (published/unpublished) content, enabling more effective content organization and retrieval.

    The following two scenarios illustrate how this enhancement benefits content management, specifically in the context of a News Website with a large volume of articles.

    Scenario 1: Filtering Published Content
    Use Case
    A content admin wants to filter scheduled content based on specific publication or unpublishing dates to quickly access relevant news articles.
    Steps

    1. The content admin logs into the News Website’s admin panel.
    2. They navigate to the Scheduled Content section.
    3. The admin selects a date to filter news articles that were either:
    4. Published within the selected date range.
    5. Unpublished within the selected date range.
    6. The system updates the content list, displaying only the news articles that match the selected criteria.
    7. The content admin can now efficiently manage and verify the publishing schedule of news articles.
    8. Example
    9. A news editor wants to review all articles that were published between January 1 and January 15, 2025. By applying the date filter, they can see only the news stories published within that period, allowing them to review recent publications without sifting through older or unrelated articles.

    Scenario 2: Filtering Moderated (Draft) Content
    Use Case
    A content admin wants to filter and review draft content that is still under moderation, based on a specific timeframe.
    Steps

    1. The content admin logs into the News Website’s admin panel.
    2. They navigate to the Moderated Content (Drafts) section.
    3. The admin applies a date range (From & To) to filter content that is still in draft mode and was last modified or created within that timeframe.
    4. The system updates the content list, showing only drafts that match the selected date range.
    5. The content admin can now efficiently track pending news articles, ensuring timely review and publishing decisions.
    6. Example
    7. A news editor needs to review all draft articles created between February 1 and February 7, 2025. By applying the filter, they can see all pending articles from that period, ensuring that no article is left unpublished due to oversight.

    Final Thoughts
    Implementing the date range filter significantly enhances the efficiency of content administration in a high-volume environment like a News Website. By enabling filtering of published/unpublished content and moderated (draft) content, this feature:
    ✅ Streamlines content discovery for admins managing large amounts of articles.
    ✅ Improves editorial workflow, ensuring timely publication and moderation.
    ✅ Enhances accessibility, making it easier to locate articles based on specific timeframes.

    This enhancement would be a valuable addition, ensuring better organization and improved content governance for news editors and content administrators.

    Let me know if you need any further clarification on the proposed solution. Thanks, Pame, for your time and support! 😊
