I have 20 columns in list. With 5 views, each view for different group. When click on particular view & ADD NEW ITEM it shows all column names. Is there any way to hide extra columns?

　

Suggestions:

• You can create 5 different content type each one with request columns.
• You can develop new form

• New form, either with SharePoint Designer of InfoPath will make the trick.
  If no mayor experience with this tool, the easiest way may be the content type approach. Create content types based on which columns you want to display or not. Another option is to hide columns from view in edit form.. to do this you will need to first "Allow management of content types" in the advanced settings of the library settings.
  Then once the content type shows up in the library settings, click on it and you can choose to set the status of each column as "Optional", "required" or "hidden"

• Note:
Sometimes content type method only works when editing a item or in datasheet view or if we click above on the ribbon and click on new item and pick my content type.

　

How to revert back deleted members from certain group.

OOPS!!!! Just deleted Some members from SharePoint Members group. Is their any way to revert them back? I dont remember who were there nor i am having their name list.

Suggestions:

• Use Axceler control point. It backs up the permissions often before deletion.
• If all the audit settings where activated on the site collection, you could run a Security Settings report. It should list the people that were deleted by you and when. Go to Site Settings - Site Collection Audit Settings. See if the tick box is checked for Editing Users and Permissions. If so, you can run the report. If not, you'll need the log files checked.

• Why not just play open cards? Email your whole team / department and tell them what happened and ask them to tell you who had access so you can add them again. Accidents happen. :-)


• What about asking your admin about the log files - it should show the names that were deleted if you look through there.


• You can backup the content database to new database and then you can do the "Recover data from an unattached content database". This way you can look and see who had access to what then manually fix it. It's a manual process but at least you will be able to see what you deleted.
