    Hi,

    I am trying to display the fields of in a View of a KPI List. I am unable to change the display of Fields using Modify this View option in the View drop down menu by checking and unchecking the

    Display checkbox

    Is there any other setting that affects the display of Fields.(schemaXML....... ?)

    Also, please let me know if there are some properties in the SharePoint Object Model that I can set to change the display of the View using Code.
    Please point me to some link that discusses schemaXML and/or CAML query modification if display is modified using code......

    TIA.

    KPI questions go to Business Intelligence.

    Moving this there.

    (If it hadn't been KPI it still wouldn't have been right in Design/Customization)

    KPI list has a different behavior for sure.


    I wrote code that

    - adds extra fields,
    - adds new Item,
    - and sets value to the newly added fields,
    - it then uses CAML to retrieve the newly added item.

    This works well for custom list but fails for KPI list.

    In KPI list, the Item in the list isnt displayed. This message is displayed instead-

    An error occured
    while retrieving
    data.

    :S

    Does KPI List  allow the display of new Views or at least new Columns, other than the default columns that come with the Views-

    -All Items
    -KPI List

    ?
    ?

    Is that a feature of KPI Lists by design...? 

    Thanks a lot.

    I am having the same problem.
    The solution I thought would work is to make a custom list with the same KPI columns. But my problem there is that I cannot get the KPI columns to work the same way as they do in a KPI list. I am not getting the great green/amber/red color scheme, but instead just numbers.

    So if no body can figure out how to add columns to the KPI list, then does anyone know how to get the KPI functionality from a custom list?

    Thanks

    I can't seem to find the answer to these questions anywhere.  Does anyone know whether a custom view or custom field can be added and used in a KPI List?  Based on the OOO box functionality, it doesn't work.  It's rather odd that MS would provide a KPI List that looks and acts like a list, even allows you to add custom fields and create views, but when it comes to showing these columns or views, they don't show.

    Any insight into this would be appreciated.  Thanks.
