Overview

List views can be created to display specific columns and items in a list. A list can have multiple views and each list will have a default view. The default view is the view that is displayed when a list is selected.

For ShareVision Site Administrators Only

It is important to note that list views are only accessible to ShareVision users that have ShareVision Site Administrator access. For other ShareVision users, the List PagePart can be used to display specific columns and items.
