• Display SharePoint List, SQL table or view, or List Rollup data view/form data.
• Show child list or SQL data along with master data in a single view.
• Allow users to dynamically change the sorting and grouping.
• Set default grouping, sorting and filtering of the data in addition to allowing users to change these settings dynamically.
• Users can drag and drop column headings on the grouping bar in the Web Part to dynamically group the data.
• Export data to Microsoft Excel.
• Allow users to perform inline, multi-level filtering of the data on the entire data set instead of just each page in the list.
• Limit the number of items displayed at a time as well as the total number of items.
• Customize the CSS or choose a skin for the look and feel of the Web Part.
• Customize the translation of the Web Part tool pane text.

• SharePoint Administrators can now offer the ability to view SQL and Bamboo List Rollup data in SharePoint through a customizable, data view-like interface without having users purchase SharePoint Designer to create a data view. This also eliminates the chance of users potentially creating more issues with their ability to modify SharePoint pages using SharePoint Designer, resulting in less support calls from end users as well as providing them valuable functionality that increases productivity and communication.
• For organizations who want to connect their existing line of business data to their SharePoint users, corporate SharePoint Administrators can easily create data views for SQL data, SharePoint Lists, and Bamboo List Rollup data views/forms allowing SharePoint users to work with data in a familiar environment and with familiar applications (i.e. Microsoft Excel).
• Department Site Administrators who want to provide data views to their users quickly no longer need to request special software from IT Administrators to create those data views saving time and money.

First, you must configure a data source: SharePoint List, SQL Server, or a List Rollup data view/form. Then you must select a master list (or table/view or data view/form). The list selected acts as the master when you choose to display inline child list, SQL data or List Rollup data in the Web Part. Then select the columns you want displayed in the Web Part. Optionally, you can set the default grouping, filtering and sorting that users see when they first view the data. You can also configure the Web Part to allow users to dynamically change these settings. You can choose to display inline child list or SQL data that users can view by expanding a node on the master data row in the Web Part. Select the columns you want displayed in the child view as well. Then set the item limits and language setting. Finally, you can choose to customize the CSS directly, or select a skin. Depending on the options you choose, users can do the following in the Web Part:

Group By: Drag and drop column headings to the bar at the top of the Web Part to group the data. Drag as many columns as you want to display sub-groups of data.

Sort: Click the column headings to sort ascending, descending, or not sort at all.

Filter: Filter the data by entering a value in the filter text box displayed at the top of each column. Enter the filter value for one column, then click the Filter icon. Select from a list of comparison operators, such as equal to, contains, starts with, etc. If you want to continue to filter down the new data set, then enter another filter value in the same or another column.

Export to Excel: Export your data to Microsoft Excel by clicking the Export to Excel button.

Nested Data: Users can expand the node to view nested child data. If the Web Part is configured for a SharePoint List, then you can choose to display the Title column with link to the item and/or the Edit icon in the master list (if you�ve added it to your list view). You can also choose this Title column type to display in the child list data. Users can click the Title link (or the Edit icon) to edit the master or child item from the Web Part.
