SP13: Checked Out Document Items Not Visible

Question

I ran across something that I have nevertheless experienced using a document library. Normally in a document library if a document is checked out the document is still visible on the list, however, the end-user will not be able to make any changes unless checked back in. However, I come across where documents are checked out, however, their not visible on the list until checked in. Has anyone ever notice this? Is there a setting that needs to be changed? I checked to make sure there were no filters. Also, grouping not turned on and the style is default. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

This is the default for items that have NEVER been checked in. There happens when someone uploads an item without filling in required metadata (usually through windows explorer)

There is a view for administrators inside the library settings area specifically to locate these items.
