Create a Glossary in SharePoint 2010
Hello,
I want to create a Glossary in SharePoint 2010. I created wiki page, custom list with two columns, term, and definition. I also created views for each letter. I want to make it user-friendly. When user click on letter "A", it will only show the terms starting with "A".
How can I make it user friendly?
Thank You

teylyn,
How do I "link each letter with their respective views"? I'm familiar with Content Editor Web Part and have played around with different lists... are you referring to Connections (not prefered as it requires a whole page refresh in order to load the webpart and I don't know how to fix it)? If not, please advise how I can link a view to an href.
Thanks!

acdlabs, please post your own question.
Create a list with the glossary fields Title (the acronym or term goes in there) and Description. Add a custom column called "Letter" that is a calculated column with the formula =Left(Title,1)
Enter data into the list.
Create a page with a list view and a Content Editor web part. The page is called OurGlossary.aspx
In the Content Editor Web Part, enter the letters A to Z and assign links to each letter, for example the href would be
http://siteName/SitePages/OurGlossary.aspx?Letter=A
http://siteName/SitePages/OurGlossary.aspx?Letter=B
etc., so the links actually load the same page that they are on. Set the list view webpart to point to the glossary list and set a filter of
Letter - is equal to - {Letter}
The {Letter} will read the query parameter "Letter" of the URL and filter the list to show only items where the letter column has the same value as the query parameter for letter.
clear as mud?
cheers, teylyn

Thank you for your reply.
I added html form web part to search for the terms, it works fine, but I have a question. How can I search words in definition. I do not want to use site search because it will give the results for the site. I want to search a word in the custom list. Do you have any idea?
Thank You
