Converting a set of alphanumeric code into another set of code using a specific naming rule

Hi Anthony-123 

"Going to my document library and creating a new view that sorts by active column results in zero items. This is why I'm using the Highlighted Content web part. If the document library view were able to show all documents regardless of number of nested folders, this would be ideal."

If you want to display all files in a view of a documentlibrary regardless of folders, you need to edit the View

And scroll down to and expand "Folders" and check "Show all items without folders"


This results in a view that displays all files in the document library regardless of folders. 
You can still sort and filter that view to your liking.

Best Regards,
Sven
