Create a SharePoint List Views Landing Page
A SharePoint Online tutorial by Peter Kalmström
When
you build a list on the Issue Tracking Template, only three
view links are shown above the list items. The other views
are hidden under the ellipsis. To give users an overview
of all the list views you can create a landing page that
is displayed when they click on the link to the list.
In the demo below Peter Kalmström, CEO and Systems Designer
of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions, shows how to create
such a landing page with view links for a helpdesk list.
In the next demo he will add the Excel pie chart he created
from the list data in the
previous demo
to this landing page.
Create a SharePoint list landing page
- Click on the settings gear at the top right and
select Add a page.
- Give the new page a name and click OK.
- When the new page opens, add the view links to it.
Peter uses wiki-links, but you can also
add the links via the INSERT tab.
- Save the page.
When the new page has been created, open Site Contents and
then the Site pages. Open the Quick Launch in edit mode
and delete the default list link. Drag the landing page
from the Site pages to the place where you want a link to
the landing page to appear in the Quick Launch. Save the
changes. This way users will see all views when they click
on the link to the list.
Sometimes the drag and drop does not work, as when Peter
created the demo. He therefore shows some other ways to
add a landing page link to the Quick Launch and get it to
show up where you want it.
