Editorial Module Dashboard

Introducing our new Editorial Module Dashboard

We’re excited to introduce a significant update to our Shortcode Dashboard aimed at improving flexibility, usability, and overall editorial workflow. While the previous version supported key functionalities, it required manual input for variables, which limited discoverability and ease of use for many editors. With the newly enhanced interface, developed under the initiative “Editorial Module Dashboard” we’ve introduced a more structured, user-friendly experience. This includes dynamic variable forms, improved validation, and simplified management through a redesigned UI, enabling editors to confidently add variables with dynamic values with greater efficiency and control.

Add/Edit Fields for Shortcodes

When creating or editing a shortcode in the enhanced dashboard, you’ll encounter the following fields and options:

• Name
  Define the name of the shortcode.
• Description
  Provide a short explanation of what the shortcode does or where it should be used.
• + Add Variables
  This section allows you to define the dynamic variables that will be part of the shortcode. Each variable includes:
  
  
  • Title – The label visible to editors in the entry editor.
  • Name – The internal identifier used in the shortcode logic.
  • Type – The format or input method for the variable.

Available Variable Types
