Sharepoint - Show folders in document library that have a filter view
Or "Content Type" is equal to "Folder":
NOTE FOR SHAREPOINT ONLINE:
This filter won't work on Sharepoint online. Here's is the answer to filter by type folder :
View only Folder items
The filter that worked for my library view... to show only "ABC" related folders and documents is shown below. Remember that SharePoint appears to be unix-based in that things are case-sensitive, so where "Folder" worked in the below filter, "folder" did not. Also note that, since most users who are creating folders don't apply categories, I used the "Name contains ABC" to get the appropriate folders to appear in my view.
Filter:
Content Type
is equal to
Folder
or
Content Type
is equal to
Document
and
Training Program
is equal to
ABC Training
or
Name
contains
ABC
Strangely enough, i had no luck at finding a list of content types, to enable me to have the library show documents as well as folders and vice versa. Again strangely, "Document" was not listed... but does indeed seem to be a type, as I successfully used it in my filter.
Below-listed are the default types in our MOSS installation. To see those, i had to goto to Library Settings, Advanced Settings, and checked Yes for "Allow Management of Content Types?". Then the Content Types section appeared above the Columns Section, and i was able to view our content types by clicking "Add from existing site content types." (I then went back in to revert our setting to not allow management of content types for that library.)
