STS: All Documents View in Document Library Displays All Files Regardless of Subfolders
This article was previously published under Q286283
The
All Documents view in a SharePoint Team Services document library displays all files, even though some files may reside in subfolders.
The
All Documents view does not display folders.
The
All Documents view is designed to display the cumulative list of all the files in the SharePoint Team Services document library, except those under the Forms folder.
To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods.
Method 1: Make Folder View Your Default View
- Open the SharePoint team Web site in FrontPage.
- Right-click the Document Library, and then click Properties.
- Select the Supporting Files tab.
- In the Default view page list, select the path that points to Webfldr.htm.
Method 2: Set Up a Filtered View
You can add a column to the document library and set up a filtered view. You can then organize your files through that column, instead of through folders.
For example, create a column called Category in the Document Library and make it a required field. Make it a drop-down field. When a document is being created or uploaded, the user must specify the category in the drop-down field. Create a new view that filters on each Category item.
To do this, follow these steps:
- In a new Document Library, click Modify settings and columns.
- On the Customize page, click Add a new column under Columns.
- In the Column name box, type a name for the column. Under The type of information in this column is, click Choice.
- Click Yes under Require that this column contains information.
- Under Type each choice on a separate line, type the choices.
- Click Drop-Down Menu under Display choices using.
- Make sure that the Add to default view check box is selected, and then click OK.
- Switch back to the Document Library that you created.
- Click Filter and select the option that you want from the list above the file that you created in step 3.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
