$Created_x0020_Date.ifnew what are the rules

Question

I have the following coming back when I look at the xml for my view:

$Created_x0020_Date.ifnew

This indicates if an item is new or not. What are the rules in determining if an item is new or not? A client is asking and I have no idea.

Answer 1

The rule is very simple. Each SPWebApplication has a property which specify how many days the icon should be shown. To get using PowerShell :

$wa = Get-SPWebApplication http://sharepoint
$wa.DaysToShowNewIndicator
