I have a document library with many different folders, and I want to add an additional column that displays the number of items in each folder. Is this possible? I know how to get the create column menu, but at that point I'm not sure how to get the number of items. I have access to SharePoint Designer, but I'm not well versed. If the solution to this requires any coding, you'll have to really explain where I have to go to put the code.

You can modify the view and add below fields
- Folder Child Count - 0 in case of file
- Item Child Count - Number of items inside the folder

I created a new view and selected both of those option, but the view still looks the same as the original. And I'm for sure looking at the new view. When I add other fields, they appear, but Item/Folder Child Count don't for some reason...– Luke KJul 27, 2016 at 13:53

In the new view can you see folders? What values are displayed in the fields in mentioned Jul 27, 2016 at 13:54

The default fields are still there (Name, Modified, Modified by), but the Item/Folder Child count doesn't appear, as if I didn't select them to be there. EDIT: I've noticed that when I go to the Tile View option instead of list it shows the number of items in each folder, but for list view it doesn't for some reason.– Luke KJul 27, 2016 at 13:55

The Document library layout is the new style, and not 'classic' sharepoint, if that's what you mean.– Luke KJul 27, 2016 at 14:01
