SharePoint Newbies - List GUID, View GUID

To find list GUID -

- Go to “all sites content” - http://sitename/sites/webname/_layouts/viewlsts.aspx
- Click on any list (For ex. ListName) - http://sitename/sites/webname/Lists/ListName/AllItems.aspx
- Click on List Setting – As shown in Figure 1
- Page will be redirect to List Settings. Please see the URL there. You will find List GUID there – See Figure 2 and URL http://sitename/sites/webname/_layouts/listedit.aspx?List={2E9DD63B-0D31-4059-B5FE-AAA299E709F1}

To find View GUID –
- After getting List GUID in the url of setting page, just scroll down a bit on the same page. You should be able to find views section. (See Figure 3)
- Click on any of the view name you want to find GUID for. (See Figure 3)
- You will be redirect to “Edit View” page. Please check the URL on that page. It will look similar like as given below-
http://sitename/sites/webname/_layouts/ViewEdit.aspx?List=%7B2E9DD63B%2D0D31%2D4059%2DB5FE%2DAAA299E709F1%7D&View=%7B49311C81%2D0868%2D4638%2D892D%2DDE2AA53A7411%7D
- In above url, the string after text “View=” is view GUID. - %7B49311C81%2D0868%2D4638%2D892D%2DDE2AA53A7411%7D
- Here view GUID is encoded url. To decode, just replace “%7B” with “{“ ,“%7D” with “}” and replace all “%2D” with “–“).
- You will get GUID looks like- {49311C81-0868-4638-892D-DE2AA53A7411}. This is View GUID
