Add an extra column to the sharepoint list view list

I am using the Out-Of-The-Box preview screen to display the list. My requirement is a display and an extra column on the left side of the view along with a header column. How can i do this?

Unfortunately, there is no easy, SUPPORTED way to do this. You will need to change the ViewStyle (as defined in C: \ Program Files \ Common Files \ Microsoft Shared \ Web Server Extensions \ 12 \ TEMPLATE \ GLOBAL \ XML \ VWSTYLES.XML) in order to display your column. Now this can certainly be done - displaying CAML is painful but not impossible, but it would change the viewing style in your full sharepoint installation. See http://mo.notono.us/search?q=viewstyle for more information



Another way of doing this MAY be through javascript (I would use jQuery), although I'm not entirely sure HOW you did it. I actually know Paul at EndUserSharePoint.com has done some awesome things from the client side script ...

You can add an extra column by changing the default view. To do this, you should see a View All view in the upper right corner of the list.
- Click on that tag and select "Change Current View" from the drop-down menu.
- You will be taken to a form that allows you to choose which columns you want (or don’t want) to appear in the "default" view.
- (you also have options for sorting, filtering, etc ... this view depends on your needs).

Also, from the drop-down list I mentioned, you can create a "new view" instead of changing the default, and then in the list settings you can choose which of all the available views will be the default.



Hope it helps ...
