exceeds the list view threshold 5000 items in Sharepoint 2010
I'm upgrade my sp 2007 to sp 2010 and I have a form library has more then 5000 items. Default view of form library filter items and show only 10-20 item to users.
After upgrade sp2010 All users get below error when going to form library expect site collection admins.
I think this is a permission issue but i did not find any source to solve this issue, have any idea ?
This view cannot be displayed because it exceeds the list view threshold (5000 items) enforced by the administrator.
To view items, try selecting another view or creating a new view. If you do not have sufficient permissions to create views for this list, ask your administrator to modify the view so that it conforms to the list view threshold.
Answer
You can increase the List View Threshold beyond the 5,000 default, but it is highly recommended that you don't, as it has performance implications. The recommended fix is to add an index to the field or fields used in the query (usually the ID field for a list or the Title field for a library).
When there is an index, that is used to retrieve the item(s); when there is no index the whole list is opened for a scan (and therefore hits the threshold). You create the index on the List (or Library) settings page.
