Cannot find Sharepoint list

Copper Contributor

Hello all,

Thank you so much for taking your time to read this. I am somewhat experienced with SharePoint, but am in desperate need of some guidance on how to access a certain list in my company's SharePoint website. I have checked other threads, but nothing seems to be similar to my issue.

The person who had set up SharePoint is no longer employed here, and I need to make some changes. Additionally, I have full control for SharePoint configuration. 

So, the issue that I am having is this:

There is a button that individuals can click on to create a "New Service Request" which opens up a new page, as shown in the image below. NewForm.jpg
If we look at the URL address, we can see that this page comes from Lists -> Trade Requests -> NewForm.aspx

I cannot find this NewForm list.

Additionally, If I go to Site Contents by clicking on the "gear" icon in the top right corner on the SharePoint website, I see other lists, but nothing that states NewForm. I've searched folders in Site Contents too, but could not find anything.

If I navigate to Site Settings -> Site libraries and lists, I can customize documents, events, form templates, site images, different service requests, but nothing that relates to Trade Request or that NewForm.

Can someone please give me some pointers on where such list/form exists? I have the credentials of the previous employee and I can log into that individual's Microsoft account. 

***My current task is to try to replace those fields in Request Details with an actual form from Microsoft Forms or from FormStack ...by embedding it in there somehow.***

Thank you so much,
Jovi

@Jovi-365 Try opening URL in this format in new browser tab: 

https://<tenantName>.sharepoint.com/sites/<siteName>/Lists/Trade Requests

Hello,

That brings me to a list of open service requests.
Website url changes to:
https://<tenantName>.sharepoint.com/sites/<siteName>/Lists/Trade Requests/Open Trade Requests.aspx
Do you have a list titled "Trade Requests"? I think "NewForm.aspx" is the page for adding a new item to the list "Trade Requests"
I do not have that list available. I am wondering if this is all connected to Power Apps somehow.

@Jovi-365 Correct. This is your SharePoint list URL where you have Power Apps customized list form and where you must be storing the form data: 

 

https://<tenantName>.sharepoint.com/sites/<siteName>/Lists/Trade Requests/Open Trade Requests.aspx

 

Open Trade Requests is the name of your list view which is set as default view in your list.

 

If you want to access all items/records in the list, you can try this URL:  

 

https://<tenantName>.sharepoint.com/sites/<siteName>/Lists/Trade Requests/AllItems.aspx

 

AllItems is the SharePoint default view created when you create a new list. It should be available for you unless someone else deleted it.

 

If you want to set the All items view as default, open the respective view & follow steps in my answer at: How to set a view of a Microsoft List as the default view

Thank you so much for that information Ganesh. I am in AllItems section in Sharepoint.

I navigated to Integrate -> PowerApps -> Customize forms, and this is what I get when I am in there:

PowerApps.jpg

 

This is definitely starting to look like I am headed in the right direction. I just need to find that NewForm now. I appreciate all your responses friends!
