SharePoint List Filter Favorites provides an easy way to save and load filter list configuration based on SharePoint list View. All operations are integrated in the view dropdown menu. The Filtered View can be saved in Filter Favorites, so that you can treat the SharePoint filter list view as common SharePoint list view. Filtered List View can also be renamed or deleted, which is supported in Organize Favorite Filters menu.

You can save filter configuration as private SharePoint filter list view which can only be viewed by yourself, or as public one which can be viewed by all the people who have authority to access it. Only the filter configuration based on public views can be saved as public filter. The filters will be automatically deleted if the list views, which the filters are based on, do not exist.

Why did we build it?

SharePoint provides a quick way to filter information in list views, but filter settings cannot be saved so you may have to repeat filter settings to get same SharePoint filter list. As creating a view with that condition is so inconvenient and may give birth to a large amount of views, with SharePoint List Filter Favorites, you can easily save the filters without configure conditions like creating a view.

SharePoint List Filter Favorites make it more convenient to create and save filtered views by adding filtered views to Filter Favorite submenu. You can also delete it or rename it. Then you can load and use the filtered views as SharePoint views.

The following is a typical sample of SharePoint List Filter Favorites application. In the Tasks Schedule list, there are many tasks for developers.

We can create a SharePoint list filtered view to show the high priority tasks for tom by following steps.

Filter Tom from Assigned To column.

Then filter High Priority from Priority column.

We can see the high priority tasks for Tom.

Now, we can add this filtered view to Favorite Filters.

Note:

Three functions "Add To Favorite Filters","Filter Favorites" and "Organize Favorite Filters" will be added to the view Drop-Down Menu after you have installed SharePoint List Filter Favorites and activated the feature.

First, Add Filtered View

Give name to this filtered view.

After clicking the “OK” button, the filtered view will be added to Filter Favorites folder and we can see it in the Filter Favorites submenu.

Note:

If you click the checkbox “As public filter” in the webpage dialog, the filtered view will be added as a public type, or it is a private type.

Second, Delete Filtered View

Click the Organize Favorite Filters menu.

In the webpage dialog, all the saved filtered views will be listed in Filter Drop-Down list when you click Filter Type radio button. After selecting a filtered view, click the “Delete” button, then the filter will be deleted.

Third, Rename Filtered View

In Organize Filter Favorites webpage dialog, you can rename the filtered view’s name. Select a filter name in the Filter Drop-Down list and input a new name in the New Name single line text, then click the “Rename” button.

Then the name of the filtered view will be changed.

Make sure to read the purchase FAQ below before you buy this product.

Site Collection License

Farm License

Purchase FAQ:

• What is the difference between a Site Collection License and a Farm License, and which type of license should I choose?
  • A Site Collection License is applied to a specific Site Collection and refers the number of end-users on that ONE Site Collection. A Farm License refers the amount of end-users the LARGEST Site Collection within a particular Farm.
  • A Site Collection License is better if you only have one Site Collection and your Site Collection ID is unlikely to change frequently (your Site Collection ID will change if you reinstall SharePoint or transplant your SharePoint data from one server to another). If your Site Collection ID changes, contact our sales team for assistance.
  • A Farm License is better if you would like to install a SharePointBoost product on multiple Site Collections or if your Site Collection ID frequently changes.
  • If you are still unsure as to which license type is best for you, please email sales@sharepointboost.com for assistance.
• What are "end-users" and how do they affect my license size? How do I find how many end-users I have on my Site Collection / Farm?
  • Our software uses the standard established method by Microsoft to determine the amount of end-users in a Site Collection or Farm. An end-user is defined as any user who has been authorized to access any site in your Site Collection or Farm. If they have access to your site, they are counted as an end-user.
  • Before purchasing a license, please think carefully about how many people will need to access your site (meaning any part of it) and delete any users that no longer require access in SharePoint. To find the number of end-users you have in a Site Collection or Farm, please check the license management page (this will appear after you install the trial version of our software on your SharePoint servers), or download and run the free End User Viewer Tool available here: http://www.sharepointboost.com/end-user-viewer-tool.html. The End User Viewer Tool can also be used to delete inactive user accounts.
  • Our licenses increase in increments of 100 users. This means that if there are 155 people who need to access your site, you will need to purchase a 200 end-user license.
• What will happen if I add another server to a Site Collection / Farm? How will this affect my license?
  • If you add new servers to an already existing Site Collection or Farm, your license will still be valid as long as the number of end-users does not exceed the number allowed by your license (e.g. if you purchase a 200 end-user Site Collection License, your license will always be valid for 200 or fewer users regardless of the number of servers).
• If the current end-user number exceeds the end-user number allowed by my Site Collection License / Farm License, what will happen?
  • If the current end-user amount exceeds the amount of end-users allowed by your license, the original functions and settings of the software will NOT be influenced until you change them (e.g. additions, deletions, modifications, etc.) At that time, you need to upgrade your license by contacting sales@sharepointboost.com. Note that upgrades will incur additional fees equal to the price difference between the old and new licenses. For example, if you purchased a 200 end-user license for $399 and you want to upgrade to a 300 end-user license with a list price of $449, you only need to pay for the difference in prices (in this case $50).
• Which payment methods does SharePointBoost allow?
  • PayPal:
  • The preferred method of payment is PayPal. You can either purchase SharePointBoost products via PayPal account or via credit card. If you would like to purchase a Farm license or a Site Collection license where the total number of end-users is greater than 900, we will generate a PayPal purchase link and send it to you in an email (paying via purchase link does not require that you have a PayPal account).
  • Secure Purchase Link:
  • If purchasing our products through PayPal is not possible for you, then you may contact sales@sharepointboost.com to get a secure purchase link generated and then emailed to you. Here you may pay with a credit card online, by phone, or by fax.
  • Bank Transfer:
  • If purchasing our products through PayPal or via a secure purchase link is not possible for you, then you may contact us to get bank information for a wire transfer. Note that you are responsible for any bank transfer fees.
  • If you do not specify one currency from USD, HKD, JPY, or EUR, we will take USD as the default payment currency.
  • SHAREPOINTBOOST DOES NOT ACCEPT CORPORATE OR PERSONAL CHECKS. PLEASE USE PAYPAL, SECURE PURCHASE LINK OR BANK TRANSFER TO PURCHASE OUR PRODUCTS.
• How can I find my Site Collection ID or Farm ID?
  • To find your Site Collection ID or Farm ID, please check the license management page (this will be accessible via a license management link that will appear after you install the trial version of our software on your SharePoint servers), or download and install the free License Management Center Application here: http://www.sharepointboost.com/licensecenter.html.
• What is SharePointBoost’s refund policy?
  • A request for a refund will only be granted if it is received BEFORE the license code has been sent.
• Does SharePointBoost offer a discount for non-profit organizations, government agencies, or educational institutions?
  • If you can provide proof that your organization is a registered non-profit, you will be eligible for a 15% discount. Contact your government to request a certificate verifying your not-for-profit status if you have not already done so.
