Hello Guys,
Good to have myself back again to this SharePoint world. It’s been a quite busy
hectic time from last few months but here is my article on so called problem of
threshold limits with respect to SharePoint lists.
SharePoint
Online delivers the powerful features of SharePoint without the associated
overhead of managing the infrastructure on your own.
Everybody is
aware that SharePoint lists as has certain limit to accumulate number of items
so the question is -
Can i increase list item threshold
view in SharePoint online, which by default is 5000? In other words, this error
message-
"The
number of items in this list exceeds the list view threshold, which is 5000
items" error when you view a SharePoint Online list in Office 365
Enterprise”
Answer would
be – No but there is some workaround by which we can play with this limit.
How?
Here is the way-
To work
around this issue, split the items into multiple lists so that no list exceeds
5,000 items. Because you'll be unable to view the list items beyond the limit
of 5,000 items, you must configure metadata-based navigation so that you can
access all the list's contents.
To enable
metadata-based navigation, follow the "Enable Metadata Navigation and
Filtering" and "Configure Metadata Navigation" sections of the
following Microsoft website:
After
metadata navigation is enabled, the list's contents will become available. We
recommended that you then reduce the list's contents to less than 5,000 items.
