List View Web Part
There is not a web part called List View in classic SharePoint. If you're looking for the List view web part for pages in the latest version of SharePoint Online, see Use the List web part.
In classic SharePoint, when you create a new site from a site template, Web Parts are automatically added to the site home page. For example, a team site includes Announcements, Calendar, and Links Web Parts. These Web Parts are instances of the List View Web Part that use a preconfigured list template to display list data.
Similarly, when you create a list or library on your site, a List View Web Part of the same name as the list or library is automatically created. For example, if you create a list called Contracts, a List View Web Part called Contracts will be available in the Site Name Gallery. The Web Part automatically displays the data contained in the list or library that you created.

Ways you can use the List View Web Part
You can use the List View Web Part to display and edit list or library data in your site and to connect to other Web Parts, including other List View Web Parts. Lists are information that you share with team members and often display in tabular format. List views display this information in different ways for different purposes, such as filtering, sorting, or selecting specific columns.
You can display most lists and List View Web Parts in one of two tabular views: standard view, which is available to any user, and datasheet view. Datasheet view requires a program or control that is compatible with Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services, such as Microsoft Office Access 2007, and ActiveX control support.
You can use the List View Web Part to do the following:
-
Display list data on a Web Part Page in a tabular format to quickly sort, filter, isolate, and update the data.
-
Display in a List View Web Part the documents that are ready for team review or the documents that your group uses frequently.
-
Track project data in a List View Web Part and filter or sort the data by a column that contains a person's name or job assignment from a matching column in a connected Contacts List View Web Part.
-
From an Employee Basics List View Web Part that contains an employee name and ID number, look up detailed employee information, such as benefit options, family status, and medical insurance coverage, in a connected Employee Details List View Web Part.
-
Examine a complete customer order in two connected List View Web Parts: an Order List View Web Part that contains the order information and an Order Details List View Web Part that contains all the line items for that order.
-
Visually enhance basic information about a person in a Contacts List View Web Part by displaying a picture of that person in a connected Image Web Part or a map of that person's business address in a connected custom Map Web Part.

Customize the view of a list or library in a Web Part
After you add a List View Web Part to a Web Part Page, you can customize the view to show only the information that you want to display on the page. You edit the current view from the Web Part Page.
You can also create custom views of a list or library, which you can use to display different sets of information in different instances of the Web Part for that list or library. You create custom views of a list or library by using the View menu 
on the list or library that you want to customize. Find links to more information about creating custom views of a list or library in the See Also section.
-
On the Site Actions menu
, click Edit Page. -
Click the Web Part menu
of the Web Part that you want to customize, and then click Modify Shared Web Part. -
In the tool pane, click Edit the current view.
-
In the Columns section, you can show or hide columns by selecting the appropriate check boxes. Next to the column name, enter the number for the order of your column in the view.
-
In the Sort section, choose whether and how you want the information to be sorted. You can use two columns for the sort, such as first by author, and then by file name for each author.
-
In the Filter section, choose whether and how you want to filter the information. A filtered view shows you a smaller selection, such as items created by a specific department or with an Approved status.
-
In the Group By section, you can group items with the same value in their own section, such as an expandable section for documents by a specific author.
-
In the Totals section, you can count the number of items in a column, such as the total number of issues. In some cases, you can summarize or distill additional information, such as averages.
-
In the Style section, select the style that you want for the view, such as a shaded list in which every other row is shaded.
-
If your list or library has folders, you can create a view that doesn't include the folders. This is sometimes called a flat view. To view all your list items at the same level, click Show all items without folders.
-
If your list or library is large, you can limit how many files can be viewed in the list or library or how many files can be viewed on the same page. In the Item Limit section, select the options that you want.
-
If you plan to view the list or library on a mobile device, select the options that you want in the Mobile section.
-
Click OK.
Connect a List View Web Part to another Web Part
You can display most lists and List View Web Parts in one of two tabular views: standard view, which is available to any user, and datasheet view. Datasheet view requires a program or control that is compatible with Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services, such as Office Access 2007, and ActiveX control support.
By using either standard view or datasheet view, you can connect a List View Web Part to another Web Part, provide data to it, and change the way the data is displayed in the other Web Part, including another List View Web Part.
-
On the Site Actions menu
, click Edit Page. -
Click the Web Part menu
, and then point to Connections. -
Point to Provide Row To or Get Sort/Filter From, and then click the name of the Web Part to which you want to link.
Key to commands on the Connections submenu
| Command on the submenu | Description |
| Provide Row To | You can connect the List View Web Part to another Web Part by passing a selected row of data to the other Web Part. Depending on how the other Web Part was created and gets the data, the other Web Part might display the row data or use the row data as a filter or parameter value. In standard view, a Select Item column containing option buttons is automatically added when you connect the List View Web Part, so that you can indicate which row to pass to the other Web Part. You can select only one row at a time in standard view. Some columns, such as the Edit column, are not available for use in a Web Part connection. In datasheet view, you can select multiple rows, but only one row is passed to the other Web Part. If multiple rows are selected, the row containing the active cell is passed to the other Web Part, and all other rows are ignored. You cannot provide data in the Total row or New row to the other Web Part. With this type of connection, you can have more than one Web Part connected to the List View Web Part. |
| Provide Data To | You can connect the List View Web Part to another Web Part that works with list data. In this case, the List View Web Part is the data source for the other Web Part. In standard and datasheet view, only the data in the view is provided to the other Web Part. With this type of connection, you can have more than one Web Part connected to the List View Web Part. |
| Get Sort/Filter From | In standard and datasheet view, you can connect the List View Web Part to another Web Part that can provide the following information to it:
With this type of connection, only one other Web Part can be connected to the List View Web Part. |
All the List View Web Parts on your site are usually available in the Site Name Gallery. When you first add a List View Web Part from a Web Part gallery to the Web Part Page, the Web Part Page displays the default list view in the Web Part. To display the data that you want in the List View Web Part as well as the other connected Web Part, you may need to edit the view of the list. For example, you may want to filter, sort, or group data a different way or display different columns.
You can change the list view from the custom properties List Views section of the tool pane in one of two ways:
-
Select a different view from the Selected View property.
-
Click Edit the current view to edit the current view.
Whenever you select or edit a list view, a copy of the list design is made from the original site list design and saved with the List View Web Part. However, the list data remains the same.
Be careful when you switch to a different view from the current view. You may delete changes that you made to the current view and may disable Web Part connections that depend on columns in the current view. You are prompted for confirmation if you switch views.
Supported list types that can be connected
Although you can display all list types in a List View Web Part, only certain list types are supported when you make a Web Part connection. In general, list types that display data in tabular format, such as Contacts, are supported. Lists that display data in a nontabular format, such as folder view, are not supported. The supported and unsupported list types are listed below.
| Supported list types | Unsupported list types |

Common properties of Web Parts
All Web Parts share a common set of properties that control their appearance, layout, and advanced characteristics.
Note: The common Web Part properties that you see in the tool pane may be different from what is documented in this section for several reasons:
-
To see the Advanced section in the tool pane, you must have appropriate permission.
-
For a specific Web Part, a Web Part developer may have chosen not to display one or more of these common properties or may have chosen to create and display additional properties that are not listed below in the Appearance, Layout, and Advanced sections of the tool pane.
-
Some permission and property settings may disable or hide Web Part properties.
Appearance
| Property | Description |
| Title | Specifies the title of the Web Part that appears in the Web Part title bar. |
| Height | Specifies the height of the Web Part. |
| Width | Specifies the width of the Web Part. |
| Chrome State | Specifies whether the entire Web Part appears on the page when a user opens the Web Part Page. By default, the chrome state is set to Normal and the entire Web Part appears. Only the title bar appears when the state is set to Minimized. |
| Chrome Type | Specifies whether the title bar and border of the Web Part frame are displayed. |
Layout
| Property | Description |
| Hidden | Specifies whether the Web Part is visible when a user opens the Web Part Page. If the check box is selected, the Web Part is visible only when you are designing the page and has the suffix (Hidden) appended to the title. You can hide a Web Part if you want to use it to provide data to another Web Part through a Web Part connection, but you don't want to display the Web Part. |
| Direction | Specifies the direction of the text in the Web Part content. For example, Arabic is a right-to-left language; English and most other European languages are left-to-right languages. This setting may not be available for all types of Web Parts. |
| Zone | Specifies the zone on the Web Part Page where the Web Part is located. Note: Zones on the Web Part Page are not listed in the list box when you do not have permission to modify the zone. |
| Zone Index | Specifies the position of the Web Part in a zone when the zone contains more than one Web Part. To specify the order, type a positive integer in the text box. If the Web Parts in the zone are ordered from top to bottom, a value of 1 means that the Web Part appears at the top of the zone. If the Web Parts in the zone are ordered from left to right, a value of 1 means that the Web Part appears on the left of the zone. For example, when you add a Web Part to an empty zone that is ordered from top to bottom, the Zone Index is 0. When you add a second Web Part to the bottom of the zone, its Zone Index is 1. To move the second Web Part to the top of the zone, type 0, and then type 1 for the first Web Part. Note: Each Web Part in the zone must have a unique Zone Index value. Therefore, changing the Zone Index value for the current Web Part can also change the Zone Index value for other Web Parts in the zone. |
