Thanks Laura!!!

You helped me so much with writing this post. During my project work in the last week I struggled with this question hows to generate a table of content page based on serveral subfolders within a Document Library.

With this tip “There’s a drop-down box that says “Item and folder scope” I can now enable a filter on a “Document Library” and based on a path folder cretaria show specic documents for that subfolder.

Hi – I’m trying to set the Recursive mode external data sources that are then used in a Linked data source. It forces me to make copy and modify the external data source library, which I then set to recursive. But trying to show details gives an unspecified error. Any thoughts on how to use this for external sources?

Great content Laura. I built a dynamic active documents report from the info. I’m trying to add conditional format within it, so I can determine documents that are more than a year, or documents that meet their destruction dates. Do you have any insight with that? Specificaly: [Current Date]-360 as the condition. Thank you.

[...] Data View Web Part, The Basics – Folders (Article) Original Publication Date: Wednesday, May 13, 2009 SharePoint User Level: Power User When creating data view web parts in SharePoint Designer, and dealing with libraries or lists that contain folders, the Item and Folder Scope setting becomes pretty important. In SharePoint views, it’s always possible to create a new view of the list with no folders, by configuring the “Folders” section in your view settings. Unfortunately, the same functionality is not as obvious in SharePoint Designer. When you create a view with no folders, and then convert it to XSLT in SPD, the folders always reappear. 3 Minute Screencast: Use DVWP to display all files, even those stored in folders!
