Hyper.Net SharePoint Edition Getting Started Guide
Step 1: Create a view that selects the required publication list
   
 
Step
1
Open any publication in the Publishing Center. Remove the publication ID, topic  ID and topic.aspx components from the end of the URL in the address bar and select ENTER. The list of publications opens:
2
Select Create View as indicated in the previous image and choose the view format Standard View. The following screen will appear:
 
   
3
As indicated in the previous image, enter a name for the new view and set its type to Public. Select the columns you'd like to have in the view. Here are a few additional comments related to this process:
  ·
We don't need the edit option to meet our current requirement—uncheck this option
  ·
Leave the Type value checked if you wish to display an icon in front of the publication title
  ·
We don't need the PublicationFolderTitle—this is the publication ID within SharePoint and is not useful for the user
  ·
We don't need Name—this is usually "topic.aspx"—because it is also not useful for the user
  ·
We'd like the display name for the publication, this is stored in PUB_TITLE, so we'll check this (not displayed above)
  ·
We might want to check Filesize if the size of some of the PDFs is extremely large
  ·
Check any other values you believe may be useful
  ·
Modify the ordering of the checked fields so that it is useful—most likely the PUB_TITLE should come first
4
Configure your Sort options. In our case we probably want to sort by PUB_TITLE in ascending order.
5
Configure your filtering options as follows. We wish to select all items (i.e. all PDF rendition topics across all publications) where TOPIC_TYPE = PDF AND Division = Sales AND Name != topic.aspx.
 
   
Note
SharePoint's default for filtering logic uses OR. Be sure to use AND! Otherwise your view will show large numbers of irrelevant items from all publications.
 
Here are our settings:
6
In the Group By section, select how you would like to group the selected PDF renditions. In our case, for example, it might be useful to group by content type, by category, by target group or by last modified date.
7
Our list on the Welcome Page should be flat. In the Folders section, select Show all items without folders.
 
   
8
Select OK. We have now created the required view, which should look something like the image below. Click on the icon and the corresponding PDF rendition opens:
