In this article, I will describe the issue that I faced while working on Per-Location View options and troubleshooting steps that I have taken to resolve.
Brief details:
You can configure which views are available for specific locations in the site hierarchy. The locations in a site hierarchy for which you can configure the availability of views are:
· Lists
· Libraries
· Folders for lists and libraries.
How to reproduce the issue?
I have created a site by using blank template. Blank site template does not have any default list/libraries created and we can design it as per our project requirements. So afterwards I have created a custom list and tried to configure the per location view settings but here is the mystery begins...As I am not able to see that option under list settings.
How to resolve this issue?
· Open the sharepoint site in which you are facing the issue
· Site actions
· Site settings-site actions (don’t be confused with this repeated word)
· Manage site features
· Activate this feature Metadata Navigation and Filtering
· Go back to the list settings now and check the results JJ
You can see that option is there now and I can see your smiling face J
Important guidelines about this ‘Location per View’ option
1) You cannot use personal views for per-location views
2) To configure per-location view settings you must have at least the permissions obtained by being added to the default Designer security group for the site that the list or library is in.
If you have any queries/questions regarding the mentioned information then please let me know. Thank you.
