How do I create a Sharepoint glossary without using an app?
- Create your columns - Word, Definition, Starting Letter(could be a calculated column)
- Add your content
- Create your views -
- View Name - "specific letter of the Alphabet"
- Sort by the Word
- Filter by Starting Letter -- Is equal to -- D
- Add web parts to a page -- as illustrated and putting your letters into a table for an orderly presentation.
This is quite cryptic but I hope you get the picture.
Hope this helps. I can't take credit for the solution but lots of people depend on this content in our organization.
CindyZThanks so much for that. I have set it up as instructed but I think I've fallen at the last hurdle!
I've created all the views and created a table with all my hyperlinks. However when I click on the hyperlinks it takes them away to a new page. I really want the glossary to all be in one page (as your example) but I can't seem how to do it. I'm sure this is a simple fix but could you please advise?
Thank you,
Amber
Hi AMJ_Devon,
I'm curious whether you got the final part of this sorted out? I'm trying something similar and wrestling with getting the list to display in page based on the letter selected.
Thanks

smynard I'm sorry but I left a key part out of the original instruction.
1. Create the text/table you as you want it to appear using a HTML editor and save the file as an html file. You can copy and paste the HTML into Notepad and save it by tacking ".html" on the the end of the file name.
2. Add a content editor web parts wherever you want on each page.3. Put the web part into edit mode.
4. Paste the address of the file as follows /sites/????/sitename/documentsorassetslibrary/filename.html into the Content link field.
5. Apply
6. Ok
That "should" do it. I'm not all that familiar with any of this so there may be a better or easier way to accomplish the same.
Also, I have built a Wiki as a PowerApp but it is not yet ready for primetime. I may post it at a later time.
Hope this helps.
