Dashboard Views lets you display your GravityView Views inside the WordPress admin. Create internal dashboards that never appear on the front end, lock them to specific user roles, and style them with preset CSS frameworks. It’s ideal for back-office boards, reports, and lists your team needs in one place.
How It Works
- Install: From your site, go to GravityKit → Manage Your Kit and install “Dashboard Views,” or upload the plugin file.
- Enable per View: Edit a GravityView → open the Dashboard Views tab → check Show in Dashboard.
- (Optional) Internal-only: Turn on Internal-Only so the View never renders on the front end or in sitemaps.
- Restrict access: Limit who can see the dashboard by WordPress role.
- Global settings: In GravityKit settings, rename the menu label, change its position, and pick a default stylesheet.
- Use it: A Dashboard Views menu appears in wp-admin; your enabled Views load there with search, sort, filters, edit, and delete intact.
Key Features
- Views in wp-admin — open and interact with GravityView entries without leaving the dashboard.
- Internal-only mode — hide selected Views from the front end and exclude them from sitemaps.
- Role-based access — show dashboards only to the right teams.
- Preset CSS frameworks — switch the look/feel of dashboard Views quickly.
- Menu controls — customize the menu text and position.
- Full functionality — keep searching, sorting, filtering, editing, and deleting entries working as usual.
