SharePoint Foundation custom list

Hi,

I'm just playing with SharePoint Foundation a little bit. I've created a custom list with a column called 'comment'. There can be 10 lines of text in that column.

What i want to achieve is that only 1 line is shown in the list in normal view. When i click on the header of the list to go to the full view of the list, then all lines in the column are shown.

Hope I made myself clear..... Seems hard to explain in English :).

Thanks for the fast reply. Now I know how to create a view, but can you help me out creating a view where that column only shows a title and everything when viewed?

Hi,
you may create a Calculated column which just gets the first line (or the first x characters) of the comment field. Use this field in the overview view whereas you use the comment column in the detailed view.

Ok I think I understand. In the normal view I can just leave the comment column out. In full view it appears with all the text. That will do it for me!

Ok Rainer, thanks for the reply. I'll take a look at that option!
Yep that's exactly it. Summary for the default view and full text when viewing an individual item
