Hi, i am assuming this has to do with the release of Micosoft List which is onboing but i do home this wont stay for long. We have a Sharepoint List at the sharepoint from out team, this list is ...
- Found the fix!
Your default view is going to show in the URL like so....
https://yourdomain.com/sites/mysite/list/mylist/AllItems.aspx
Other views show up with a view ID at the end of that url such as
https://yourdomain.com/sites/mysite/list/mylist/AllItems.aspx?viewid=D15e0%2D41b6%2Dac00%2D1eb07e974...
What you need to do is get the view URL without all that GUID junk at the end and to do this its very simple. Lets say I have another view named "My Reports". All you have to do is replace the AllItems with the view name of the one you want to show.
https://yourdomain.com/sites/mysite/list/mylist/My%20Reports.aspx?
The %20 is expressed as a space to the browser so the browser reads it as My Reports.
Now, to add this to teams, create a new tab and select the new "lists" app. Select save to finish adding it to the channel. Once its been added, a configuration screen will come up. Choose the option to use an existing list then in the URL add your URL you built for that view.
https://yourdomain.com/sites/mysite/list/mylist/My%20Reports.aspx?
That's it! It should now show your list in that view. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Anything new on this ? I still have trouble when I have a SharePoint page with links on this page that go to a "non-default" view. Clicking the link of the view always goes to the default view.
Gaet_W's solution worked for me. (thank you!!)
Going to the View settings and selecting the view-specific URL found on that page under "Web address of this view", then creating a new tab in the Teams channel for a List, THEN inserting that URL manually in the Existing List selection page (rather than picking a list) allowed my preferred view to appear in that tab, in spite of having another tab showing the default view of that same list.
This also worked for adding a different view from the same list.
Make sure you're following the instructions exactly. Assuming you haven't already figured it out, given it's been months since your response.
