Lesson 3 – Working with Lists

TOPIC D: F ILTER AND G ROUP WITH L IST V IEWS At times it is helpful to filter list results or group list data by specific columns in order to get a list view that is more helpful or easier to use. In this topic you will filter and group list views. L IST F ILTERING O PTIONS SharePoint gives you the option to filter list results as part of a list view to show only items that meet a specified criteria. Your filter can specify a single criteria, or two criteria to create an "and/or" filter. For example, if a salesperson is searching for contacts in their sales region, they might create a view that filters a contact list first by their sales region, and then by specific states within that region.
