  • One option that comes to my mind is creating a View for your document library and have "Checked Out By" column selected. Then do a grouping on this column.

  • Hi,

    The easiest way will be to create a datasheet view and copy down the contents in an excel file.

    Then do the grouping in excel based on Checked Out To field.

    I hope this will help you out.

  • Hello,

    Use Content and Structure Reports to get the above mentioned functionality.

    1) Go to (out of the box) List  'Content and Structure Reports' and add a New Item.

    2) Fill the following values:

        Report Title : CheckedOutFiles
        Resource Id : SmtCheckOutUser
        Resource Id : SmtCheckedOutReportDescription
        CAML List Type : <Lists ServerTemplate="101"/>
        CAML Query : <Where><Geq><FieldRef Name='CheckoutUser' LookupId='TRUE'/><Value Type='int'>0</Value></Geq></Where>
         Report Description : All documents and pages checked out in this site and subsites

    3) Navigate to Site Settings -> Site Administration -> Content and structure

    4) This gives context to the right-hand window where you can look at views and manipulate content in certain ways.

    5) If you click on view: and choose the latest added 'Content and structure' item you can view all the documents checked out in all the document library in the site and its subsite

  • Use the following PowerShell script

    $web = Get-SPWeb "http://vm01"
    $folder = $web.GetFolder("Style Library")
    function GetFilesNuv($fldrs,$space){
        write-host $space -nonewline
        write-host $fldrs.name -backgroundcolor White -foregroundcolor Black
        $fldrs.Files | Where { $_.CheckOutStatus -ne "None" }  |ForEach-Object {
    write-host ($space,$_.Name,$_.CheckedOutBy) -Separator "  " -foregroundcolor Red
        }
        $fldrs.SubFolders |ForEach-Object {
      GetFilesNuv $_ ($space + "  ") ;
        }
    }
    GetFilesNuv $folder "  " 
    $web.Dispose()

  • Each view can be defined as "Folders or Flat": Choose "Show all items without folders" instead of "Show items inside folders". I used this option in SP2007 and SP2010 - I love this option as I hate folder trees and prefer dynamic metadata driven navigation.

  • Just follow the response from Amal Hashim, and select the option "Show all items without folders" in the Folders tree in the Create View form.

  • Create a view and filter so that Checked Out To is not equal to.... and leave that box blank.

  • there is no manage Checked out files in SharePoint 365 online.  I see a manage file which have no checked in version.  But there is nothing listed there and I have a checked out file.

  • You can use DMS-Shuttle for SharePoint / Office 365 for this purposes. This tool provides a built-in report "Export checked-out files to Excel". There is a 15 days trial version and built-in reports can be used without any restrictions. Please see there: dms-shuttle dot com, built-in reports.

  • The only solution I found was to purchase a third party tool. 

    I am using Sharegate to migrate my 2007 to 365 online. there is a very nice Checked out report where you can mass check in files.

  • This only works if you have less than 5000 items in the list; if you have more than that, this will not work.

  • Strange that is not working for you, that works for me....

  • I think the Content and Structure option  only works if all the sites have Publishing Infrastructure enabled.

  • Excellent option with the addition creating a view and filter so that Checked Out To is not equal to.... and leave that box blank.
