I am new to using SharePoint, and I am not a full SharePoint admin, I only have control over my specific sites.
In my sites I have a lot of different discussion boards used to organize comments on specific topics.
I way to create multiple parent boards with several child boards. So I thought a way to organize the boards would be to create new Quick Launch headings that uniquely identify the groupings of discussion boards, rather than one long list under the original Discussions heading. I can set this up, but I am confused as to what the URL should be for each new heading. I copied the original Discussions heading URL, that ended with (not full URL posted here):
.../viewlsts.aspx?BaseType=0&ListTemplate=108
But then, when you click on any of the Discussion headings, you get a view of all Discussion Boards, rather than just the ones under that specific heading.
Questions:
- Is there a way to modify the URL so that only the set belonging to that heading is displayed when the heading is clicked?
- Is there a way to assign the board to the desired discussion heading when the board is created rather than having to move it later?
- And I guess overall, is this an acceptable way to do this, or is there a better way?
