When we face any product limitation issue or call it as
default SharePoint behavior then it’s difficult to conclude or explain to the customer
that this is by design.
Filter Web Parts connect to Web Parts containing one or
more sets of data to change the view of the data. The filter Web part can be
visible on the page, to ask for user input, such as a date or text, or they can
be invisible, as is the case with the Current User filter, which filters data
based on the user who is logged on to the computer.
Problem Description: Some of SharePoint list’s which are present on
my site collection are not displaying the list of content types; instead they
are showing an option “show filter
choices”
While researching on the issue, I found one article which
clearly suggested that this happens because of increase in the number of items
in the list.
Million Thanks to
Nauplius for publishing this article: http://sharepoint.nauplius.net/2010/09/sharepoint-list-filter-problems-or.html
In the above mentioned article, it clearly mentioned that
when the list items crosses beyond 500 items then it will the option “show filter choices” and Microsoft
place this option because of performance problems.
Please let me know in case of any queries/questions
regarding the above mentioned information.
Thank you.
