Data-Viewer Web PartThe Data-Viewer Web Part for SharePointdisplays list, SQL table/view, or Bamboo List Rollup data without the need for creating a data view which requires the purchase of SharePoint Designer. Like the data views you can create with SharePoint Designer, you can allow dynamic grouping, filtering and sorting, exporting items to Microsoft Excel, and customizing the CSS or changing the Web Part skin. In addition, you can display inline child list or SQL table data.

  • 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.
