Sharepoint Workspace - Not all views sync

Working on a library in Sharepoint Workspace I noticed that not all views for that Library were syncing.

I found a few posts that said custom views with filters could not sync however this was not correct. All of the views in the library had filters but four of them were missing from Workspace. I looked further and found that the views that were missing were filtering on a date calculation or on a column criteria not being blank.

Removing the date or entering a value fixes this issue and the views sync but this changes the behaviour, so the users may have to do without in Workspace. 


Sorting can also cause the view not to appear in Workspace. Sorting on Modified for example works but sorting on Owner or custom columns.

Sharepoint 2010 - Change Library URL

There are times when we need to change the URL for a list or library. In order to do this you need to use Sharepoint Designer. Open the Site where the document library or list is located and then choose All Files.

Select the library or list, right click and choose to Rename.

Type in the new name which will make up the new URL. This causes the Library or List URL and Name to change while the items in it remain unchanged. There is one more bit of housekeeping needed and that is to update the Quick Launch URL to the new URL.
