create link to “new item” form

Question

I have a sharepoint docuemnt library and i'd like to create a link on my homepage that will launch a new item form associated to my list. Does anyone know what the url would be if my document library is named "test?"

Answer 1

If it is a document library you to build the following URL

{url3}/_layouts/Upload.aspx?List={list-guid}

• Where {url3} is the URL to the site containing the document library e.g. http://servername
• And {list-guid} is the GUID for the document library e.g.{C61C7F01-B778-402E-BCDF-5E2960B45372}. The GUID is in the URL when you are in the Document Library settings page.

If it is a list you need to build this URL

{url1}/NewForm.aspx?Source={url2}

• Where {url1} is the URL to the list for e.g. http://servername/Test
• And {url2} is the URL to redirect back to when the new record has been added for e.g. you homepage URL - This is an optional parameter.

Answer 2

Just add NewsForm.aspx (default)

example:

http://www.myurl.be/Lists/test/NewForm.aspx

Answer 3

In SharePoint 2013 you should use

<site collection url>/lists/<list name>/item/newifs.aspx

Example:

mySiteUrl/Lists/test/item/newifs.aspx

You can also append the source query string parameter to have the submit action take you to another page.

Note the NewForm.aspx will still work in 2013 but it will redirect you to this page.

Answer 4

You can right click on the "Add a new item" at the bottom of your list or document library and then paste that as your link.
