+# Customizing the Index Page
+
+Filtering and listing resources is one of the most important tasks for
+administering a web application. Active Admin provides many different tools for
+you to build a compelling interface into your data for the admin staff.
+
+Built in, Active Admin has the following index renderers:
+
+* *Table*: A table drawn with each row being a resource ([View Table Docs](3-index-pages/index-as-table.md))
+* *Grid*: A set of rows and columns each cell being a resource ([View Grid Docs](3-index-pages/index-as-grid.md))
+* *Blocks*: A set of rows (not tabular) each row being a resource ([View Blocks Docs](3-index-pages/index-as-block.md))
+* *Blog*: A title and body content, similar to a blog index ([View Blog Docs](3-index-pages/index-as-blog.md))
+
+All index pages also support scopes, filters, pagination, action items, and
+sidebar sections.
+
+## Multiple Index Pages
+
+Sometime you may want more than one index page for a resource to represent
+different views to the user. If multiple index pages exist, Active Admin will
+automatically build links at the top of the default index page. Including
+multiple views is simple and requires creating multiple index components in
+your resource.
+
+```ruby
+index do
+  id_column
+  column :image_title
+  actions
+end
+
+index as: :grid do |product|
+  link_to image_tag(product.image_path), admin_product_path(product)
+end
+```
+
+The first index component will be the default index page unless you indicate
+otherwise by setting `:default` to true.
+
+```ruby
+index do
+  column :image_title
+  actions
+end
+
+index as: :grid, default: true do |product|
+  link_to image_tag(product.image_path), admin_product_path(product)
+end
+```
+
+## Custom Index
+
+Active Admin does not limit the index page to be a table, block, blog or grid.
+If you've created your own [custom index](3-index-pages/custom-index.md) page it
+can be included by setting `:as` to the class of the index component you created.
+
+```ruby
+index as: ActiveAdmin::Views::IndexAsMyIdea do
+  column :image_title
+  actions
+end
+```
+
+## Index Filters
+
+By default the index screen includes a "Filters" sidebar on the right hand side
+with a filter for each attribute of the registered model. You can customize the
+filters that are displayed as well as the type of widgets they use.
+
+To display a filter for an attribute, use the `filter` method
+
+```ruby
+ActiveAdmin.register Post do
+  filter :title
+end
+```
+
+Out of the box, Active Admin supports the following filter types:
+
+* *:string* -  A drop down for selecting "Contains", "Equals", "Starts with",
+  "Ends with" and an input for a value.
+* *:date_range* - A start and end date field with calendar inputs
+* *:numeric* - A drop down for selecting "Equal To", "Greater Than" or "Less
+  Than" and an input for a value.
+* *:select* - A drop down which filters based on a selected item in a collection
+  or all.
+* *:check_boxes* - A list of check boxes users can turn on and off to filter
+
+By default, Active Admin will pick the most relevant filter based on the
+attribute type. You can force the type by passing the `:as` option.
+
+```ruby
+filter :author, as: :check_boxes
+```
+
+The `:check_boxes` and `:select` types accept options for the collection. By default
+it attempts to create a collection based on an association. But you can pass in
+the collection as a proc to be called at render time.
+
+```ruby
+filter :author, as: :check_boxes, collection: proc { Author.all }
+```
+
+To override options for string or numeric filter pass `filters` option.
+
+```ruby
+  filter :title, filters: [:starts_with, :ends_with]
+```
+
+Also, if you don't need the select with the options 'contains', 'equals',
+'starts_with' or 'ends_with' just add the option to the filter name with an
+underscore.
+
+For example:
+
+```ruby
+filter :name_equals
+# or
+filter :name_contains
+```
+
+You can change the filter label by passing a label option:
+
+```ruby
+filter :author, label: 'Something else'
+```
+
+By default, Active Admin will try to use ActiveModel I18n to determine the label.
+
+You can also filter on more than one attribute of a model using the [Ransack
+search predicate
+syntax](https://github.com/activerecord-hackery/ransack/wiki/Basic-Searching).
+If using a custom search method, you will also need to specify the field type
+using `:as` and the label.
+
+```ruby
+filter :first_name_or_last_name_cont, as: :string, label: "Name"
+```
+
+Filters can also be disabled for a resource, a namespace or the entire
+application.
+
+To disable for a specific resource:
+
+```ruby
+ActiveAdmin.register Post do
+  config.filters = false
+end
+```
+
+To disable for a namespace, in the initializer:
+
+```ruby
+ActiveAdmin.setup do |config|
+  config.namespace :my_namespace do |my_namespace|
+    my_namespace.filters = false
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Or to disable for the entire application:
+
+```ruby
+ActiveAdmin.setup do |config|
+  config.filters = false
+end
+```
+
+You can also add a filter and still preserve the default filters:
+
+```ruby
+preserve_default_filters!
+filter :author
+```
+
+Or you can also remove a filter and still preserve the default filters:
+
+```ruby
+preserve_default_filters!
+remove_filter :id
+```
+
+## Index Scopes
+
+You can define custom scopes for your index page. This will add a tab bar above
+the index table to quickly filter your collection on pre-defined scopes. There
+are a number of ways to define your scopes:
+
+```ruby
+scope :all, default: true
+
+# assumes the model has a scope called ':active'
+scope :active
+
+# renames model scope ':leaves' to ':subcategories'
+scope "Subcategories", :leaves
+
+# Dynamic scope name
+scope ->{ Date.today.strftime '%A' }, :published_today
+
+# custom scope not defined on the model
+scope("Inactive") { |scope| scope.where(active: false) }
+
+# conditionally show a custom controller scope
+scope "Published", if: -> { current_admin_user.can? :manage, Posts } do |posts|
+  posts.published
+end
+```
+
+Scopes can be labelled with a translation, e.g.
+`activerecord.scopes.invoice.expired`.
+
+### Scopes groups
+
+You can assign group names to scopes to keep related scopes together and separate them from the rest.
+
+```ruby
+# a scope in the default group
+scope :all
+
+# two scopes used to filter by status
+scope :active, group: :status
+scope :inactive, group: :status
+
+# two scopes used to filter by date
+scope :today, group: :date
+scope :tomorrow, group: :date
+```
+
+## Index default sort order
+
+You can define the default sort order for index pages:
+
+```ruby
+ActiveAdmin.register Post do
+  config.sort_order = 'name_asc'
+end
+```
+
+## Index pagination
+
+You can set the number of records per page as default:
+
+```ruby
+ActiveAdmin.setup do |config|
+  config.default_per_page = 30
+end
+```
+
+You can set the number of records per page per resources:
+
+```ruby
+ActiveAdmin.register Post do
+  config.per_page = 10
+end
+```
+
+Or allow users to choose themselves using dropdown with values
+
+```ruby
+ActiveAdmin.register Post do
+  config.per_page = [10, 50, 100]
+end
+```
+
+You can change it per request / action too:
+
+```ruby
+controller do
+  before_action only: :index do
+    @per_page = 100
+  end
+end
+```
+
+You can also disable pagination:
+
+```ruby
+ActiveAdmin.register Post do
+  config.paginate = false
+end
+```
+
+If you have a very large database, you might want to disable `SELECT COUNT(*)`
+queries caused by the pagination info at the bottom of the page:
+
+```ruby
+ActiveAdmin.register Post do
+  index pagination_total: false do
+    # ...
+  end
+end
+```
+
+## Customizing Download Links
+
+You can easily remove or customize the download links you want displayed:
+
+```ruby
+# Per resource:
+ActiveAdmin.register Post do
+
+  index download_links: false
+  index download_links: [:pdf]
+  index download_links: proc{ current_user.can_view_download_links? }
+
+end
+
+# For the entire application:
+ActiveAdmin.setup do |config|
+
+  config.download_links = false
+  config.download_links = [:csv, :xml, :json, :pdf]
+  config.download_links = proc { current_user.can_view_download_links? }
+
+end
+```
+
+Note: you have to actually implement PDF rendering for your action, ActiveAdmin
+does not provide this feature. This setting just allows you to specify formats
+that you want to show up under the index collection.
+
+You'll need to use a PDF rendering library like PDFKit or WickedPDF to get the
+PDF generation you want.

+# Custom Index
+
+If the supplied Active Admin index components are insufficient for your project
+feel free to define your own. Index classes inherit from `ActiveAdmin::Component`
+and require a `build` method and an `index_name` class method.
+
+```ruby
+module ActiveAdmin
+  module Views
+    class IndexAsMyIdea < ActiveAdmin::Component
+
+      def build(page_presenter, collection)
+        # ...
+      end
+
+      def self.index_name
+        "my_idea"
+      end
+
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+The build method takes a PagePresenter object and collection of whatever you
+choose.
+
+The `index_name` class method takes no arguments and returns a string that should
+be representative of the the class name. If this method is not defined, your
+index component will not be able take advantage of Active Admin's
+*multiple index pages* feature.

+# Index as a Block
+
+If you want to fully customize the display of your resources on the index
+screen, Index as a Block allows you to render a block of content for each
+resource.
+
+```ruby
+index as: :block do |product|
+  div for: product do
+    resource_selection_cell product
+    h2  auto_link     product.title
+    div simple_format product.description

+# Index as Blog
+
+Render your index page as a set of posts. The post has two main options:
+title and body.
+
+```ruby
+index as: :blog do
+  title :my_title # Calls #my_title on each resource
+  body  :my_body  # Calls #my_body on each resource
+end
+```
+
+## Post Title
+
+The title is the content that will be rendered within a link to the
+resource. There are two main ways to set the content for the title
+
+First, you can pass in a method to be called on your resource. For example:
+
+```ruby
+index as: :blog do
+  title :a_method_to_call
+end
+```
+
+Second, you can pass a block to the tile option which will then be
+used as the contents of the title. The resource being rendered
+is passed in to the block. For Example:
+
+```ruby
+index as: :blog do
+  title do |post|
+    span post.title,      class: 'title'
+    span post.created_at, class: 'created_at'
+  end
+end
+```
+
+## Post Body
+
+The body is rendered underneath the title of each post. The same two
+style of options work as the Post Title above.
+
+Call a method on the resource as the body:
+
+```ruby
+index as: :blog do
+  title :my_title
+  body :my_body
+end
+```
+
+Or, render a block as the body:
+
+```ruby
+index as: :blog do
+  title :my_title
+  body do |post|
+    div truncate post.title
+    div class: 'meta' do
+      span "Post in #{post.categories.join(', ')}"
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
