I got a simple requirement for one of my project to update
the list URL. Basically this is a simple requirement by using Object model/PowerShell
commands. But we don’t have option to use PowerShell commands or coding. Even without
them we can update that easily from SharePoint designer. This is simple option I
haven’t seen/worked on earlier.
We can update the list URL by navigating to designer All
Items -> Lists folder. But unfortunately I can’t find All item option in
designer. By default we can’t see that option. To enable that option we have to
enable the option in Central Administration as the steps below.
Navigate to SharePoint central administration General
Application settings. Click on “Configure SharePoint Designer Settings”
To enable SharePoint designer to a site we have to check “Enable
SharePoint Designer
” to see All items option we have to check “Enable Managing of the Web Site URL
Structure
” option as shown below.
To change the List URL click on “All Items” in designer. We
can see the list of all the contents. Click on Lists folder.
Select the list to change the URL, right click and select
Rename option.
Rename the list as per the requirement. By updating the list
name URL of the list will be changed. Here before changing the list URL looks
like http://SiteURL/Lists/TestCustom/AllItems.aspx
. I have updated the name as Testlist. By updating the name URL updated as http://SiteURL /Lists/Testlist/AllItems.aspx
.
