At the moment I am working on a concept version of a sharepoint site for my company. In the endstate it will have dozens of libraries. Trying tot prevent it in becoming too confusing, all the libraries start with the first 4 letters of the departement they belong to. So far so good… but the adminstrators still have alot of scrolling to do to select the right library.

Is it possible to make a module on a sharepoint page or a list which filters the names of the libraries on a sharepoint site? If I can put the first 4 letters in a filter then the administrator of the department only sees the libraries which he or she should moderate. Our IT department does not allow us to make subsites so we have to stick to the 'main' sharepoint site.

Any ideas on how to achieve this? :-)

Libraries are located directly in Site contents, which isn't that easy to create views for. I think what would be easiest is to create a seperate list with two columns:

  1. Hyperlink column, links to the library, probably convenient to use the library name as display  text
  2. Person column, details whoever is the administrator of the library

Then you can create a standard view on that list that only shows entries where the administrator column Equals Me] (or Mij] for Dutch Sharepoint), and they can access those library entries directly through the hyperlink column.

Thank you ​@BobR! Indeed the separate list is the way to go! 🙂 It does lead to a new question.
