Tag: How to use Tree View

Return to Configuration Overview

Wiki libraries can quickly become unmanageable with many, many pages. However, by using Tree View on a page, you can deliver a cleaner interface to your users. They can view Wiki pages which are contained in the Wiki Library through a familiar look and feel similar to Windows Explorer or a file share view. Just by clicking on the page name in the tree hierarchy on the left, they can see the contents of that page in the right side of the window pane.

Users can create new wiki pages (depending on how you have configured the web part and their permission level), export pages to Excel, and set an alert on the library by using the New and Action buttons on the toolbar.

Step	Action	Result
1.	From the left pane of Tree View, click the plus sign to expand a folder and display all of its subfolders.	Select a folder to display its contents in the right pane. In the example above, the user clicked on the top level of the tree view and all the folders within that level appear. However, when the user clicks on a folder name, the view changes to display only the items within that folder.
2.	On the right side of the window, select from the Current View drop-down box to display thumbnail representations of your items or list views configured in the tool pane.
3.	You can also create new documents or folders, upload documents, and perform standard SharePoint actions.	NOTE: Whether or not you see these menu options depends upon your list/library configuration settings and your permission level.
