SharePoint Lists & Libraries : Use smart filters to find your file or list item

Source : https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Use-smart-filters-to-find-your-file-or-list-item-293561ed-fb2e-4fb2-9a9f-8a21e299e323?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US

Smart filters can help you find the file or list item you’re looking for. When you make a filter selection, items that don’t match are removed from the list shown on the page.

NOTE: Some functionality is introduced gradually to organizations that have opted in to the First Release program. If you’re not enrolled in the First Release program, you may not see this feature.

Open the smart filters pane

Click the filter icon  at the top right of your list or library to open the smart filter pane. The filters you see are based on the contents displayed on the page.

For document libraries, 3 default filters show: Modified, People and Type. You can narrow the list to recent files only. You can filter your view to files edited by one or more people. And, you can change your view to show files of one or more types, like Word documents and PowerPoint slides.

When you’ve filtered the list or library and want to go back to where you started, click the clear filter icon at the top right of the smart filter pane.

Smart filters, column headers and views

Smart filters work together with SharePoint features you may already be familiar with like column headers and views. When you choose a filter from a column header menu, you’ll see that reflected in the smart filter pane. And, it works the same way in reverse. Selections from the smart filter pane show in the column headers.

Views are a way of saving filters. When you’ve found a set of smart filters you think you’d use often, you can save them as a view.

More help for lists and libraries

SharePoint help contains many more articles that cover Documents and libraries and Data and lists.

For more help specific to your organization, contact your IT department or administrator. If you’re a SharePoint Online administrator, you can also open a support ticket in the Office 365 admin center.

Visual Studio for Mac – Introducing Visual Studio for Mac

Marcel

Source: https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/14/microsoft-announces-visual-studio-for-mac-will-launch-in-november/

Fans of cross-platform coding will be happy to know that Visual Studio, a “a true mobile-first, cloud-first development tool for .NET and C#,” will arrive for Mac during the Connect() conference in November. The move places Microsoft’s IDE on Macs. The IDE follows Visual Studio Code, Microsoft’s code editor, to OS X.

Why is Microsoft seemingly abandoning the quest for Windows hegemony? The writing is one the wall: cloud computing is there future and tools like AWS and Azure are quickly replacing the local server. Microsoft is losing out to tools like Docker and Heroku on the web and it’s only a matter of time before coders are more comfortable with their MacBooks and VIM than with Windows.

“They make their money off Azure and other services. In other words, they are making their money mainly off of developers now and its in their best interest to get on the good side of devs which is why they suddenly have a vested interest in open sourcing tools and helping Mac/Linux,” wrote Hacker News user BoysenberryPi.

The IDE is very similar to the one found on Windows. In fact, that is presumably the point. By making it easy for OS X users to switch back and forth between platforms Microsoft is able ensure coders can quickly become desktop agnostic or, barring that, give Windows a try again. From the release:

At its heart, Visual Studio for Mac is a macOS counterpart of the Windows version of Visual Studio. If you enjoy the Visual Studio development experience, but need or want to use macOS, you should feel right at home. Its UX is inspired by Visual Studio, yet designed to look and feel like a native citizen of macOS. And like Visual Studio for Windows, it’s complemented by Visual Studio Code for times when you don’t need a full IDE, but want a lightweight yet rich standalone source editor.

You can read more about the platform here and prepare yourself for a little C# coding with Visual Studio Code.
