Welcome to Quest Web Parts for SharePoint

NOTE

You do not need to obtain a trial license to evaluate Quest Web Parts for SharePoint 5.2. The software will run for 30 days from the time of installation. After the 30 day trial period is over, the web parts will stop functioning unless you install a permanent license or a trial license that has expiration date greater than today's date.

NOTE

Please read this if you are upgrading from version 5.0 or 4.x and have custom skin files for the qCalendarView web part, Rich Text Editor in the list form or the tree view for the complex category field in the list form.

Ever since version 5.1, the above controls were affected by the upgrade of the Telerik controls. We upgraded the Telerik version in our product from Q2 2008 to Q2 2009 in version 5.1. Unfortunately, the skin files for the Q2 2008 are not compatible with the skin files for the Q2 2009. Therefore, you must do one of the following if you upgrade from version 5.0 or 4.x to this version and use custom skin fields for the above controls:

Recreate your skin files by copying one of the existing skin files under C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\QuestSoftware\Telerik\Q22009\Skins.
Upgrade your old skin files using the skin converter that is provided by Telerik. The skin converter program can be found here: http://converter.telerik.com/skinconverter/.

Please note that we strongly recommend that you take the first option, which is to recreate the skin files by using one of the new Q2 2009 skin files. Based on our test, the converted skins do not always work. Besides, the old skins do not support the insert image dialog box that is used by the rich text editor. Please note that we do not support the incompatibility issue between your old skins and the converted skins. If you take option #2, you do it at your own risk.

Please note that this upgrade does not affect the custom skins for the other web parts, such as the qListView, qPanelMenu, qCascadingMenu, etc. The other web parts still uses the older version of the Telerik control, which is version Q2 2007 SP1.

NOTE

If you are currently using version 4.x, you need a new license to upgrade to version 5.2. Please do not attempt to upgrade to version 5.2 if you do not have the new license file for Quest Web Parts for SharePoint 5.2.

To upgrade your existing license, please go to the following URL:

http://license.quest.com/upgrade.

If you encounter an issue upgrading your license using this page, please contact your sales representation to get a new license file or send an email to license@quest.com.

Quest Web Parts for SharePoint does not include SharePoint 2003 Web Parts anymore. If you need SharePoint 2003 Web Parts, please contact support for instructions on how to obtain Quest Development Studio for SharePoint 4.2.

Thank you for installing Quest Web Parts for SharePoint 5.2.

Quest Web Parts for SharePoint enhances SharePoint’s application development capabilities with drag-drop-configure Web parts, reducing the need for custom coding to build sophisticated business applications in SharePoint.

We suggest that you check the KnowledgeBase at http://support.quest.com for additional samples, Tech Notes and answers to Frequently Asked Questions.

New in This Release

This release of Quest Web Parts for SharePoint includes the following new features:

Configuration Editor tool

(Req 4569) The Configuration Editor Tool contains a new tool to manage the web parts availability in the web part gallery. The same tool is already available in the SharePoint Central Administrator in the previous version. However, the web part management tool in the SharePoint Central Administrator is subject to HTTP timeout when carrying out a long process. Therefore, if you manage the web parts in a large number of site collections, we recommend you to use the web part management functionality in the Configuration Editor tool.
(CR 74487) We added the capability to encrypt the user ID and password in the connection string in the System Integration configuration file.
(CR 76537) We added a new parameter in the QuestSoftware section in the web.config to control the maximum size of image, file or media to be uploaded using the Rich Text Editor. This parameter can be found in the Editor tab in the QuestSoftware section editor.

All SI Web Parts

(Req 3760) The complex type editor in the Catalog property editor now supports editing elements of array type.

qListForm

(CR 76596) Add the ability to move the Attachments field to another tab. The Attachments field is now added to the list of fields in the Display Fields property editor and you can specify the Container ID for it.
(CR 70266) We added spell check button to the Rich Text Editor for the enhanced rich text field.
(CR 75556) The presence indicator is added to the Person and Group field when the form is in the display mode. The presence indicator can be activated by setting the Presence attribute of the Field element to true in the Display Fields property.
(CR 76539) We added the capability to upload documents and medias and attach them to the list item and insert the link to the uploaded document and media in the rich text editor.
(CR 78807) We added a new attribute called DisableResize to the Field element in the Display Fields property. This attribute enables you to prevent the user from resizing the rich text editor in the form.
(CR 73679) We added a new attribute called DoNotRenderAsHyperlink to the Field element in the Display Fields property. If set to true, the Person and Group field, lookup field and cross site lookup field can be rendered as plain text instead of hyperlink.

qListView

(Req 4634) The qListView contains a new wizard to perform basic configuration. This wizard can be accessed from Web Part Menu > ezWizard.
(CR 78403) We added a new property called New Item Panel Style. This property contains 2 options: Elaborate and Compact. The Elaborate new item panel contains the list of content types for the list, the location and the description for the list. The Compact new item panel contains only the list of content types for the list.

qSIListForm

(CR 76096) We enable the user to use the Item Picker for the Choice field.
(CR 78807) We added a new attribute called DisableResize to the Field element in the Display Fields property. This attribute enables you to prevent the user from resizing the rich text editor in the form.

qDiscussionView

(Req 4692) The search or filter capability is added to the qDiscussionView web part. You can now search your discussion board using the filter panel by specifying the Searched Fields property.
(CR 75755) A new attribute called ReplyFormUrl was added to the Field element in the Viewed Lists property. This attribute enables you to define a different URL for the new form and the reply form just in case you want the two forms to be designed differently. For example, you may want to have an additional qListForm in the reply form to show the content of the parent discussion.
(CR 79247) The qDiscussionView automatically selects the following when the qDiscussionView is loaded: 1. The item that is newly created using qListForm 2. The item that is just edited by using "Edit Properties" context menu 3. The item that is just viewed by using "View Properties" context menu.
(CR 74651) We added new properties in the Context Menu Appearance and Localization tabs to modify the text for the context menu items. There are 6 new properties in the Context Menu Appearance (xxxx Context Menu Text) and 6 new properties in the Location tab (xxxx Context Menu Text Resource ID).
(CR 77292) We added a new property called Context Menu Skin Name to control the skin name of the context menu in the qDiscussionView web part.

qCalendarView

(CR 77411) We added First Day of Week and Last Day of Week properties to control the first and last day that will be displayed in the week view and month view. For example, if you want to display Monday to Friday in the week view, you can set the First Day of Week to Monday and the Last Day of Week to Friday.

CR68091	The Print button in the list view opens up a blank page the first time it is invoked. You need to close the window for the blank page and try it again for it to work.
Telerik	If you have another third party Web Part that uses Telerik control of different version on the same page, one of the web parts may not work properly.

This issue has been reported to Microsoft and Microsoft acknowledges this to be an issue. So far, Microsoft has not provided a workaround for this issue. Fortunately, Quest List Form Web Part can be used in any page. Therefore, if you need to connect the Quest List Form Web Part with another Web Part, you can do so on a regular page. You can set the URL of the new form, display form or edit form in the Viewed Lists property of the Quest List View to point to this regular page.
CR56120	The cancel button in the list form causes validation when the Next Page URL or Go Back URL is set to the same page.

CR60571	There are several issues for Exporting feature in the Quest List View and SI List View: 1. The column generated with CalculatedValue cannot be imported 2. The column that contains images like Type column of a document library cannot be imported 3. If you have too many columns displayed in your list view, the PDF export result will squeeze all the columns into the width of the page. 4. When exporting to CSV, blank cell will be replaced with
CR52913	The options for multiple value lookup field contains (none) when the value is optional

System Requirements

You must ensure your system meets the minimum hardware and software requirements described in this article:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/HA101945391033.aspx

The following are the client side requirements for SharePoint 2007:

Although administrative tasks on SharePoint sites are optimized for level 1 browsers, Office SharePoint Server 2007 also provides rendering support for other browsers that are commonly used. To ensure that you have complete access to all the functionality, we recommend that you use a level 1 browser for administrative tasks.

Level 1 Web browsers:

Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista client with IE6, IE7 or IE8.

Level 2 Web browsers

Win 2000, Win XP, Win2003, Vista client with Firefox 1.5, Mozilla 1.7 or Netscape 8.1
Unix/Linux with Firefox 1.5 or Netscape 7.2

If a browser is not listed in either level 1 or level 2, it is not supported. For example, older browsers — such as Internet Explorer 5.01, Internet Explorer 5.5x, Internet Explorer for Macintosh, and versions of third-party Web browsers that are earlier than the ones listed as level 2 browsers — are not supported.

Level 1 Web browsers take advantage of advanced features provided by ActiveX controls and provide the most complete user experience. Level 1 browsers offer full functionality on all SharePoint sites, including the Central Administration Web site.

Level 2 Web browsers provide basic functionality, so that users can both read and write in SharePoint sites and perform site administration. However, because ActiveX controls are supported only in level 1 browsers and due to the functionality differences within different browsers, a different user experience might be provided and there could be some variances from the user experience from the level 1 browsers.

The Mac OS is not supported at this time.

Getting Started

The first question that people usually ask is "How do I get started with Quest Web Parts for SharePoint?". There are several ways to get started with our product. Choose one that will best suit your needs. All the tools that are mentioned below can be downloaded from our product page at http://www.quest.com/web-parts-for-sharepoint/.

If you want to try Quest Web Parts for SharePoint in your SharePoint environment, you can download the software by clicking the Download Software link on our product page. The Documentation (help files) for the Web Parts is included in the software. The help files are a good reference for the properties and attributes in the Web Parts. However, if you want to know how to configure the Web Parts, you need to download the Computer Based Training (CBT).
You can download the Computer Based Training (CBT) from our product page. The CBT contains a printed training manual and videos that show you how to configure our Web Parts. You need to restore the SharePoint sites for the CBT in your SharePoint environment. Once you do that, you can perform the exercises in the CBT.
We also provide a recorded demonstration of the capabilities of our products. This can be found on our product page. This is a good way to get a quick glance on our product without getting too technical.

Product Overview

Quest Web Parts for SharePoint contains 18 Web Parts for SharePoint 2007:

Data Viewer Web Parts: qListView, qChartView, qExcelViewer, qCalendarView, qDiscussionView
Data Entry Web Parts: qListForm
Data Selector Web Parts: qSelector, qMultiSelector, qItemDisplay
Navigation Web Parts: qPanelMenu, qCascadingMenu, qPageRedirector
Display Web Parts: qCaptionDisplay, qHelpLink
System Integration (SI) Web Parts: qSI ListView, qSIListForm, qSISelector, qSIChartView

The SI Web Parts enable you to display, create and edit data in your external systems. Out of the box, the SI Web Parts support the DAO Provider for:

Web Services
SQL Server
Oracle
Domino Server using XML over HTTP

The SI Web Parts can connect with Web Services that return the following types of objects:

Data Set (System.Data.DataSet)
Data Table (System.Data.DataTable)
Data View (System.Data.DataView)
Array of Data Set. The SQL Server HTTP Endpoint returns this kind of data. SQL Server HTTP Endpoint is the method to expose your stored procedure as Web Services. Please see the SI Developer Guide document on how to set one up.
Array that can be serialized into XML and then converted into Data Set.
XML String that can be converted to Data Set.
XML Node that can be converted to Data Set.

If your external system is not supported, you can write your own Data Access Object (DAO) Provider. Please see the System Integration Developer Guide chapter in the Quest Web Parts for SharePoint Documentation on how to write your own DAO provider.

Installation Instructions

Quest Web Parts for SharePoint requires administration rights on the SharePoint server during installation. If your SQL Server is located on a different machine than the SharePoint server, please ensure that you login as a domain user that has permission to write to the SharePoint configuration and content databases in the SQL Server.

To install the product, please click the installer executable and follow the steps provided by the installer. For complete installation instructions, see the Installing Quest Web Parts for SharePoint chapter of the User Guide. You can also view the Installation module of the Quest Web Parts for SharePoint Computer Based Training (CBT). If you are planning to use the System Integration Web Parts, please see the System Integration Configuration File module in the CBT as well.

After you install the product, ensure the following:

An entry for HTTP Handlers is required in your web.config file for the ASP.NET AJAX to function properly. Open up your web.config in the Configuration Editor. A message indicating the missing entry will appear in the message window. Select the message and click the 'Fix It' button. Save the file. This will add the required HTTP Handlers entry.

History of Changes in Previous Releases

Version 5.1

The following are the new features in this release:

Configuration Editor tool

(Req 3818) The Configuration Editor Tool contains new functionality to mass index discussion lists. This is useful in case of a Notes migration scenario where you migrated multiple discussion lists and you need to index those lists after the migration is done.
(CR 73589) The QuestSoftware section editor contains 3 new parameters: Max Rollup Depth, Max Rollup ListCount and Max Query Row Count. These three parameters can be used to restrict how deep the rollup operation should go, how many lists should be included in the rollup operation and the maximum number of rows should be returned during a query to the SharePoint server, respectively. Please see the help file for the Configuration Editor tool for more detail.

All Web Parts

(Req 4086) We added 3 pages to the SharePoint Central Administration to manage the deployment of the web parts. These three pages enable you to select which web parts to deploy in the web application level and site collection level.
(Req 3832) We added HideUserGroups and ShowUserGroups attributes to the Custom Actions property in every web part that supports it. These new attributes enable you to show or hide the custom action (context menu item and toolbar button) visibility based on the group membership of the current user.
(Req 4004) We upgraded some of our Telerik controls to version Q2 2009. This upgrade affects the qCalendarView, qDiscussionView and qListForm web parts. Please note that the skin files in version Q2 2009 have a new format which is not backward compatible with the Q2 2008 skins. Please note that some of the web parts such as qListView still use Q2 2007 SP1 version and therefore are not affected by this upgrade. Please read the note at the beginning of this release notes regarding this upgrade for more details.
(CR 70471) We added new custom action type called ReturnToMasterChart. This custom action can be used to return to the master chart page based on the MCID HTTP parameter.
(CR 68292) You can use "." (single dot) as the List Name property in the qListForm or the ListName attribute in the Viewed Lists property of qListView, qCalendarView, qChartView and qDiscussionView when you place those web parts in AllItems.apsx, NewForm.aspx, EditForm.aspx, DisplForm.aspx or Upload.aspx. The "." will be interpreted as the name of the list that owns the page. This capability increases the usability factor of your list template because you don't have to change the name of the list when you instantiate the list template using a different name.

qListForm

(Req 4013) The ability to call a custom action code to initialize one or more fields in the form.
(Req 3821) The ability to define conditional behavior of the form components (field, group of fields and tab) using the new Form Component Behavior property. There are four types of conditional behavior that you can define: HideWhen, ShowWhen, EnabledWhen and DisabledWhen. For example, you can define the behavior to show the Resolved By and Resolved Date fields when the Status field is changed to Resolved.

CR73635	The Upload Multiple Documents link redirect the user to single file upload when the Show Upload Button property is set to Multiple File Upload only.
CR74158	The display format in the Calculated Value is not working. For example, when you specify <%{0:c}Price%> it won't format the Price field as currency.
CR74113	The qListView shows System.Data.DataRowView in the Edit field when it points to a list that is not a document library.
CR74145	The qItemDisplay cannot be connected to the qListView using "Send Row To" and "Get Filter From"
CR73971	The qListForm does not validate the required multi value lookup field during save.
CR73967	The qListForm crashes when autofilling a number field and the source field is empty.
CR68354	The Title Resource ID attribute is filled in with the value of the Title attribute when editing a Field element in the Display Fields property editor of the qListView.
CR72970	The Manage Permissions and Check In/Out buttons should not appear in the qListForm (in DisplayListItem mode) when the user does not have permission to carry out those operations.
CR41293	The qListView displays the plain text multi line text field in one line eventhough the entry contains line break in it.
CR72369	The qListForm does not display the People and Group fields according to the field setting when the People and Group field is auto filled. The People and Group field is always displayed by the user name eventhough the field is set to be displayed with another field, e.g.: Phone Number.
CR72531	The qListForm will use the ID of the looked up item instead of the text when you refer to a lookup field in the CalculatedFormat field.
CR72654	The qCalendarView does not show the last day of the appointment if the end date is a DateTime field with DateOnly format.

CR71489	The qChartView does not copy the HTTP parameter of the current URL into the drill down chart URL when the user clicks the chart to drill down. This causes problem when drilling down more than 1 level.
CR71723	The qListForm auto fill the field with ID1;#Value1;#ID2;#Value2 if the source field is a multi value lookup field. The value should be presented as Value1;Value2 instead.

Version 5.0

The following are the new features in this release:

All Web Parts

The term "Web Part Configurator" has been changed to "Web Part Editor". In the context menu of a Quest Web Part, the menu item has been changed from "Configure" to "ezEdit". All Quest Web Parts have had name changes as well. The names have been changed from "Quest List View", "Quest SI Chart View", etc. to "qListView", "qSIChartView", etc.
(Req 3694) Microsoft ASP.NET Ajax Extension 1.0 DLL is automatically installed in the GAC if one is not present. This DLL is required by some of the web parts. You do not have to download and install Microsoft ASP.NET Ajax Extension 1.0 manually anymore.
(Req 3560) The Quest Web Parts for SharePoint installation adds a few list templates such as the list templates for panel menu and cascading menu, help link, caption display and resource list. Therefore, when you need one of these list, you don't have to create the list manually. You can simply select it from one of the available templates in your site.
(Req 3559) The SharePoint solution package that is used by the installer contains all the files that will be deployed in the SharePoint 12 hive folder. This is part of an ongoing effort to make the SharePoint solution package self contained. This means that when you install our webparts, you will not see the files extracted to the 12 hive folder anymore. The files will be transmitted from the configuration database to your server over the wire. This also means the installation takes much longer that it did in the previous version.
(Req 3558) The Advanced tab in the web part editor now contains the Target Audiences field where you can set the target audiences for the web part. We have also ensured that our web parts work correctly when the Target Audiences is set.

qDiscussionView

(Req 3548) The qDiscussionView web part is a new web part. It enhances the way you view a Discussion Board list. qDiscussionView displays the discussions and the responses in a tree structure making it easier to navigate between different discussions and responses. The preview panel also enhances the usability of the Discussion Board list. For more details on this new web part, please see the help file for the web part.

qListView

(CR 66451) Provide a new property to select which upload button is displayed in the toolbar (single file upload, multiple file upload or both)
(CR 66302) A new property called Show Include Sub Folders CheckBox In Search Panel was added. This property determines whether the Include Sub Folders checkbox should be displayed in the search panel. This checkbox is useful when the folder panel is enabled because in this case the list view will restrict the view and search only in the currently selected folder. If the Include Sub Folders checkbox in the filter panel is checked, the subfolders of the current folder will be included in the search.
(Req 3551) A new tab called "Context Menu Appearance" is added to the web part editor. This tab contains properties to control the visibility of individual context menu items in the list view.

qListForm

(Req 3694) "Mark Private" button is added to the toolbar. This button only shows up in the new form, edit form or display form when the item being displayed or edited was created by the currently logged in user. The user can mark an item private so that only they can see the item in the view. One exception to this is the SharePoint administrator who can always see any item in any list.
(Req 3549) The SI Column now supports item picker. In the previous release, the SI Column was always presented in a dropdown control. This is prohibitively slow when the SI Column is looking up big data from the external data sources. The item picker helps alleviate this issue because you can do lookup by using a certain key. This is very similar with how BDC column is using the item picker.

qChartView

(Req 3696)A new Chart View web part has been added that supports 3 dimensional charting. For more details on this new web part, please see the qChartView help file. The old Chart View web part is still supported but has become obsolete.

qCalendarView

(Req 3551) A new tab called "Context Menu Appearance" is added to the web part editor. This tab contains properties to control the visibility of individual context menu items in the calendar view.

qSIChartView

The SI Web Parts have been tested against SAP. You can now display, create and edit the data in your SAP system via web services.
(Req 3695) A new SI Chart View web part has been added that supports 3 dimensional charting. For more details on this new web part, please see the qSIChartView help file. The old SI Chart View web part is still supported but has become obsolete.

The following are the bug fixes in this release:

CR65222	The list view displays the workflow status field as number instead of the text of the status
CR63898	The drill down chart does not work if there are two charts present in the page. NOTE: this issue was fixed in the new qChartView. The issue is still present in the old qChartView that was marked obsolete. Please use the new qChartView to avoid this issue.
CR67232	The SI List Form throws an exception when the SetSessionName property is set and there is an unserializable object coming from an OUT parameter
CR64553	The list form now supports the SortOrder attribute for the lookup and cross-site lookup field. Previously, you have the ability to sort the lookup and cross-site lookup field, but you could only sort them in ascending order. Now, you can specify ascending or descending order for the sort.
CR65943	The people editor in the list form loses its value after a postback from a lookup field. In order to fix this issue, we add a new property called "Enable AJAX". There is a known issue in the SharePoint People Editor control and AJAX. The only way the SharePoint People Editor control can persists its value is by disabling AJAX (setting the Enable AJAX to false).
CR67326	The List Form does not handle the default value of a DateTime field if the default value is calculated field.

CR66044	The approve/reject button always points to the approve.aspx in the _Layouts folder of the top level site.
CR64525	Add a property to wire the upload button to the Upload.aspx in the _layouts folder because Microsoft List Form in the Forms/Upload.aspx reformats the URL incorrectly.
CR65503	The list view displays the Hyperlink or Picture column (in Picture format) as broken link if the Description part of the URL is blank
CR65550	The cross-site lookup field generates an error if the user cannot access the looked up list

CR64746	The number for the % field does not show up in the group header.
CR64751	The list view does not display the item if the user does not have view permission on the list eventhough they have view permission on the items.

CR63604	The Upload button in the Quest List View generates wrong URL when the list view is placed in a meeting workspace.
CR64492	The List Form cannot edit a list item when the user has view only permission at the list level eventhough the user has edit permission in the list item level .

Version 4.3

The following are the new features in this release:

All Web Parts

(Req 3280) Quest Web Parts for SharePoint is now deployed as a SharePoint Solution. The benefit of the solution package deployment is the ability to deploy Quest Web Parts for SharePoint in selected Web Applications using the SharePoint Central Administration site. It also provides the flexibility to turn on/off Quest Web Parts for SharePoint as a site feature. When a new site or site collection is created, the Admin or Site Designer can activate the Quest Web Parts for SharePoint Feature to enable the web parts for newly added site collections.
(Req 3265) The ability to use a dynamic variable in the CAML Filter. The value of the filter can now be retrieved from the Session variable and the HTTP parameter. Previously, you could only hard code the value of the filter.
(Req 3201) A new custom action type to start the SharePoint workflow.
(Req 2994) The ability to recognize the OEM license. When an OEM license is detected, the Configure and Help menu items under the Web Part Menu will not be shown.

Quest List Form

(Req 3208) Quest List Form now supports the SharePoint BDC column. You can also search for the BDC column in the search panel of Quest List View, Quest Calendar View and Quest Chart View.
(Req 3208) The Quest List Form also supports the SI Column. Similar to the BDC column, the SI Column enables you to create a lookup field to the data in external system. The SI Column uses the same mechanism as the SI Web Parts to connect to the external system, the DAO Provider.
(Req 3204) The Quest List Form is now able to use the People Editor control for the People and Group field instead of the Quest List Form people selector. In order to do so, the user must check the UsePeopleEditor attribute in the Field setting in the Display Fields property.
(Req 3204) The ability to use current user as the default value of the People and Group field. In order to do this, you should set the UseCurrentUserAsDefaultValue attribute in the Field setting in the Display Fields property to true.
(CR 60878) The ability to use a different name for the ID HTTP Parameter by defining the name in the ID HTTP Parameter Name property. This feature is added to overcome a SharePoint bug where the page in the document library cannot take an ID that is bigger than the number of documents in the document library. To overcome this bug, place the list form on a page in a document library, rename the ID HTTP Parameter to something other then ID, such as LID. This new property is also added to the Quest List View and Quest Calendar View so that they will use the same name expected by the list form when they open the display form or edit form of an item.
(CR 55892) The ability to auto-fill a field by using the current user information. You can use one of the following expressions in the FixedValue attribute: <CurrentUserName/>, <CurrentLoginName/>, <CurrentUserID/>, <CurrentUserEmail/>.
(CR 62002) The ability to control the width of the controls in the list form by using the Width attribute of the Field element in the Display Fields property.

Quest List View

(Req 3243) You can colorize the rows in the List View based on the value in a certain column. For example, all appointments in meeting room A are red, all appointment in meeting room B are blue, etc. You accomplish this by defining the Appearance Field Name and Color Appearance properties. This feature is also added to the SI List View.
(Req 3217) The ability to expand the filter panel when the list view is loaded for the first time. Previously, in order to do this, you had to turn on the list searcher mode. However, in list searcher mode, you had to perform a search first before the data is shown. With the new property, Expand Filter Panel On Load, you can expand the filter panel by default without using the list searcher mode. This feature is also added to the Quest Calendar View, Quest Chart View, SI Chart View and SI List View.
(Req 3217) A new property called Panel Button Location to define the location of the command buttons in the filter panel. The options are top, bottom or both. Previously the buttons were always shown at the top and bottom which can clutter the filter panel especially when you only have one or two fields in the filter panel. The same property also exists in the Quest Calendar View and Quest Chart View, SI Chart View and SI List View.
(Req 3256) The ability to apply the CAML Filter for Folders on the first level folder only. This property is called Apply CAML Filter on First Level Folder Only.
(Req 3210) The ability to export the grid in the list view to PDF, Excel or Word format by clicking the Actions > Export button in the toolbar. You must set the Show Export Button to true for this button to appear. The same feature is added to the SI List View.
(Req 3248) The ability to print the grid in the list view by clicking the Actions > Print button in the toolbar. You must set the Show Print Button to true for this button to appear. The same feature is added to the SI List View.
(Req 3207) The ability to open the context menu by clicking the drop down arrow in the context menu column. You can display the context menu column by setting the Show Context Menu Method property to ShowContextMenuColumn or RightClickAndShowContextMenuColumn.
(CR 61444) The ability to determine the maximum number of rows retrieved by the list view by using the Maximum Row Count property. This can be useful in several scenarios such as when you want to display the last 5 modified documents in the "my document" library.
(CR 51361) The ability to expand all the parent records in the hierarchical list view when the list view is loaded by setting the Expand Child View On Load to true.

Quest Calendar View

(Req 3194) You can colorize the items in the Calendar View based on the value in a certain column. For example, all appointments in meeting room A are red, all appointment in meeting room B are blue, etc. You accomplish this by defining the Appearance Field Name and Color Appearance properties.

Quest Chart View

(Req 3195) The ability to create a drill down chart view. There are two new properties related to this feature: Drill Down Chart URL and Show Return To Master Chart Button. Please check out the CBT on how to create a drill down chart. This feature is also added to the SI Chart View.
(Req 3196) The ability to generate the data series in the chart dynamically. For example, if you want to create the data series for different countries to display the yearly sales amount. If the name of the countries in your data is fixed, you can hard code the data series in the Configuration property of the Chart View. However, if the number of countries in your data is unpredictable, you can generate the data series dynamically by using the FilterFieldName attribute in the Items element in the Configuration property. This feature is also added to the SI Chart View.
(Req 3199) The ability to display a background image in the plot area of the chart view. This feature has also been added to the SI Chart View.

All SI Web Parts

(Req 2750) The SI Web Parts now include the Oracle DAO Provider. There are 3 methods to write or retrieve data from your Oracle database: stored procedures, table direct or writing your own PL/SQL in the Catalog.
(CR 61902) A new property called Display Messages from DAO Provider has been added. If set to true, the SI Web Parts will display all messages that are returned from the external system. If set to false, the messages will be suppressed.

SI List Form

(Req 3193) The ability to display the custom action error message in a popup dialog box, in the list form itself or in both. You can do this by setting the Custom Action Error Display property. In addition, the error message will not replace the fields in the form as the previous version of the SI List Form did.
(CR 63997 - Hotfix) The ability to display an empty selection (an item with empty value) in the dropdown for SI Column. You can do this by setting the ShowEmptySelection and EmptySelectionItemName attributes in the Lookup element in the Display Fields property.

SI List View

(Req 3260) The ability to pass the filter criteria to the DAO Provider. Previously, the filter criteria entered in the filter panel was applied to the data that was returned by the external system. This can be very inefficient especially when dealing with a large set of data. By passing the search criteria to the DAO Provider, the filtering happens in the external system and results in a much smaller data set being returned. In order to pass the filter criteria to the DAO Provider, you set the Filter Criteria Usage property to PassToDAOProvider or PassToDAOProviderAndFilterData. This feature is also added to the SI Chart View.

The following bugs were fixed in this release:

CR62983	The date and time in the Calendar view is always shown with MM/DD/YYYY format regardless of the Locale in the Regional Settings.
CR62679	"Click here to test" link in the Hyperlink or Picture column in the Quest List Form does not work.

CR 54218	AJAX issue in IE 6. This issue results in several things such as the list view freezes when the user clicks on the smart link column, etc. In order to overcome this, we check for the browser version and turn off AJAX automatically when IE 6 is detected. However, you can also turn off AJAX explicitly in the list view by setting Enable Ajax property to false
CR 58491	The filter, page index and sort criteria in the list view do not persist when the user returns to the page
CR 58970	The list form does not show the previous versions of Multiple Lines of Text with "Append Changes to Existing Text".
CR 59932	The Save custom action does not save the metadata in the upload form
