Hi,

For a specific SharePoint group, button Create Sub Folder should be disabled that has been created through customization.

For this, below is code that has been written in a method, that method has been called on the Page Load event of web part.

Validating Non Mandatory column

Hi,

Generally, if it is not mandatory column we can validate the same through out of the box.

But through one of my colleague I got to know the way by writing the formula i.e.

Navigate to the list->List Settings->Click on the column name ‘dept’

There under column name, formula has been applied as below

Now without selecting any value in the dept column when we try to save the value we shall be getting the validation message as below

This works out only when we try to add the new item in the list.

But when we try to edit the existing values this would not be applicable.

Folder View through List View Web Part

Hi,

We had a requirement of Pages library data in the form of Folder view that is only 2 folders alone i.e. Enabling Functions and General folder.

After adding the Pages library through list view web part, view has been applied through web part settings.

Finally the folder view is as below
