Table Dashboard
The Table Dashboard is your central hub for managing all product tables in ProductBay.
Overview
When you navigate to ProductBay in the WordPress admin, you'll see the All Tables view. This dashboard provides a complete overview of your tables with powerful management tools.
Dashboard States
Empty State
If you haven't created any tables yet, the dashboard displays a clean empty state.

Active Tables List
Once tables are created, they appear in a structured list. Hovering over a table row reveals a contextual action menu directly below the title, allowing you to Edit, Duplicate, Toggle Status, or Delete the table instantly.

Table List
Each table in the list displays:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Checkbox | Select tables for bulk actions |
| Title | The name you gave your table |
| Shortcode | The embed code (e.g., [productbay id="1"]) - click to copy |
| Source | Where products come from (All, Category, Sale, Specific) |
| Status | Published or Private |
| Date | When the table was created/published and modified |
Search & Filtering

Hover over any table row to reveal the following management options:

WARNING
Deleted tables cannot be recovered. Ensure you have backups or no longer need the data before confirming deletion.
Table Statuses
Maintenance of table visibility is controlled by two primary statuses:
| Status | Visibility |
|---|---|
| Published | Publicly visible on your site via shortcode. |
| Private | Invisible to visitors. Admins will see a placeholder notice where the table would normally appear. |
How to Change Status
You can toggle a table's visibility in three ways:
- Bulk Actions: Select one or more tables and use the "Set Published" or "Set Private" bulk options.
- Quick Toggle: Hover over a table row and click the status action (Publish or Set Private).
- Table Editor: Click the table title to enter the editor, change the status in the top-right sidebar, and Save.
