Overview of the List Rollup Web Parts

Data Views created by the List Rollup Classic web Part are hidden on the page where they are created (they are created on the page where the List Rollup Classic Web Part resides). To add them to another page on your site, export the data view web part to the site’s Web Part Gallery so you can easily add it to another page in the site.
