Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server Integration


Personal vs. Shared View

When adding Web Parts to a SharePoint Portal page, you may either insert them into a shared or personal Web page. The following table contrasts the views.
Web Page View
Description
Shared
A view of a list, document library, or Web Part Page that every user with appropriate permissions for a site can see. The shared view of a Web Part Page uses shared property values. Changes made to a shared view apply to the list, library, or page as it appears to all users.
Personal
A view of a list, SharePoint document library, or Web Part Page that is available only to a particular user. The personal view of a Web Part Page uses a combination of shared property values and personalized property values. Changes made to a personal view apply only to the list, library, or page in that view and are therefore visible to that user only.

Keep this information in mind when inserting Web Parts.

Toggling Between Shared and Personal View

When logged in and in Edit Page mode, you can toggle between shared view and personal view by following these steps.

  1. Click Modify Shared Page or Modify My Page (depending on your current settings).
  2. A sub menu is displayed.
  3. Click Shared View or Personal View to display the respective view.
  4. The page refreshes, and the change is reflected.
  5. Repeat this process to return to the previous view.
