Tell us what you are trying to do?

I am trying to create frontend user dashboard where i would like to list all the post submitted by a user (with edit option)

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?
website is under development

Hi, you can do this with Toolset Types, Views, and Forms.
- Create a custom Page called "Dashboard" or something similar
- Create a View of Posts filtered by post author, where the post author is the same as the current User. More information about this here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/filtering-views-query-by-author/
- Use the Loop Wizard to create the display you want, which might be a table or an unordered list. More about that here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/view-layouts-101/
- Insert the Post Title with Link in the loop builder
- Place this View in the Dashboard page and test it out. You should see a list of links to all your Posts. Each person will see a list of their own Posts when they are logged in.
- Create an Edit Post Form. More information about that here: https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-editing/
- Create a new, unassigned Content Template and place the Edit Post Form in that template
- Return to your View of Posts and use the Toolset Forms button above the Loop Editor to insert an Edit Post Link shortcode in the loop. In the popup, select the Content Template you just created.
