<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a Form Library (infopath) on a SharePoint, within that form library I have several folders which denote the various departments within the organization. <br />
<br />
I would like that when the form library is opened that the default view be just Type and Name because it is only a folder listing, then when you click the individual folders(departments) the default view be a customized view I have made which the columns draw info from the submitted form.<br />
<br />
At the current I can't get the default view to be different within the library and then the individual folders in the library. <br />
It is important that I have individual folders because I will need to set permissions on users which only enable them to view their own folder.
