When does the word “New” being removed from new item inside an announcement list, or document library

Question

I have a document library and an announcement list, now for any new item inside these lists a “New” word or symbol will be displayed for couple of days , then it will be cleared out.

So my question is for how long the "New" word will be displayed beside new items, and is this period configured somewhere?

Thanks

Answer 1

You can set the value of days-to-show-new-icon/DaysToShowNewIndicator property, refer following:

• NEW INDICATOR IN SHAREPOINT LISTS AND LIBRARIES – NUMBER OF DAYS TO SHOW
• Days-to-show-new-icon: Stsadm property (Windows SharePoint Services)

Answer 2

By default, the "New" status indicator will display for 2 days; however, it can be configured - check out Salaudeen Rajack's SharePoint Diary entry at http://www.sharepointdiary.com/2012/02/new-tag-indicator-in-sharepoint.html.
