Chapter 1: Collaborating with SharePoint
Enabling and using the Tree View
SharePoint offers another nifty way to navigate your SharePoint site: Tree
View. In this view, you get an additional hierarchical display of all the
components on your SharePoint site, including any and all subcomponents.
You can then expand and condense the items with subcomponents in the
Tree View as you would a typical folder list in an Office application such as
Outlook. You then click any of the components displayed in the Tree View to
display its page on the SharePoint site.
Unfortunately, the Tree View is turned off when you first start working in
SharePoint, so you have to enable it by following these simple steps:
1. Log on to your SharePoint site by entering the URL address of your
site in your Web browser and then entering your username and
password when prompted for it.
2. On the home page, click the Site Actions button to open its drop-down
menu.
The Site Actions drop-down menu on the home page contains three
options: Create, Edit, and Site Settings.
3. Click the Site Settings button.
SharePoint opens the Site Settings page.
4. Click the Tree View link in the Look and Feel column (the second one
from the left) of the Site Settings page.
SharePoint displays the Tree View page, which contains check boxes for
enabling and disabling both the Quick Launch group list and the Tree
View. (See Figure 1-3.)
5. Select the Enable Tree View check box and then click OK.
SharePoint returns you to the Site Settings page.
6. Click the Home tab in the Top Link bar.
After you return to the home page of your SharePoint site after enabling the
Tree View (see Figure 1-4), you’ll notice that a new Site Hierarchy group list
now appears immediately beneath the Quick Launch in the left panel. This
group list shows all the components on your SharePoint site (with Expand
buttons for any of them that have subcomponents).
