Dashboard lists let your users plan pages or part of pages directly in

• Dashboard. In Everyboard you assign

lists, or even part of lists to your

• board. Now anyone can plan your

front page, and keep it up to date, every day.

Your editorial staff won’t even know they have Wordpress, since all most users will need is Dashboard lists. And the same list can be used on multiple places. The front page can show positions 1–3 of the Sports list, whereas the Sports page can show 1–10, in any order you like. And of course, the same lists can be used in our App Platform, this way you will save time if you want all platforms to have the same content.
