Problem with Reports
MOSS 2007 I'm having a problem with one of our MOSS instances. When we click Site Actions > Reports > Checked Out to Me we don't get a report of documents checked out, we just get the view as though we were looking at all site content. It shows the Announcements, Calendar, etc... Only one instance is behaving this way.

Is the reporting feature turned on within the site collection features?http://www.final-exodus.net

Thanks for the reply Steven. Yes, reporting is enabled. When I go to the report, it shows "Default View" though. When I change to one of the other views (Checked Out to Me, Last Modified by Me, etc...) the screen returns to the Default View. Kevin

Hi Kevin, Thanks to share your problem. Do you mean that you edit the reports setting in the site usage reports? And do you have set the reports setting in the administrator setting? Maybe you need to set the settings in the administrator page. Here is a useful page which might help you: http://jaypoint.com/sharepoint-site-usage-reporting/ Best Wishes! Leo

Leo, No, I'm not editing anything. If you go to Site Actions and select Reports, then select one of the reports from the list, it will take you to the screen where you can see the results. Those reports are just views. On this one SP instance that is causing problems, the view never changes from "Default View". If I select any of the other views, the result always displays "Default View."

Hi Kevin, Sorry, I didn’t find the reports feature in the site action. Would you mind give the detailed steps of what you have done? And whether the views can be just set as default view? Or you can go the code page to check whether the other view selection action functions exist? Hope it helps! Leo

Leo, Detailed steps: Click Site Actions Click "Manage Content and Structure" page which is located here http://yourweb/_layouts/sitemanager.aspx?Source=%2Fdefault%2Easpx At the top of the page you should hava a dropdown menu for "Views" which should currently say "Default". Change that view to something else like "Checked Out to Me" or "Last Modified by Me". On all my instances except for one, changing this view works just fine. On my problem instance, changing this view doesn't work at all. It just returns to "Default" no matter what I pick.

Hi Kevin, I’ve found what you had said, and I really find the view, however in my case, I can change the view. So I am asking that whether the intranet has something wrong? Or is it the problem of the browser? Which browser do you use? If these problems mentioned above do not take action, you may go to the code view of the site content and structure: function SmtCheckOut( smtObjectId , controlid) { if(smtObjectId != null && smtObjectId != '') { theForm.SmtCheckInOutPublishUnPublish.value = smtObjectId; if(controlid == null) controlid = 'ObjectList1'; } __doPostBack(controlid,'SmtCheckOut'); } function SmtUndoCheckOut( smtObjectId , controlid) { if(smtObjectId != null && smtObjectId != '') { theForm.SmtCheckInOutPublishUnPublish.value = smtObjectId; if(controlid == null) controlid = 'ObjectList1'; } __doPostBack(controlid,'SmtUndoCheckOut'); } You may check if the code of checkout function matches your code. Hope this would help you! Leo

Leo, I don't suspect the browser since I have other SharePoint instances which work fine and I'm using the same browser to access all of them. I don't suspect the checkout function either. Checking in and out files works fine as well. It's not just the "Checked out to me" view that is not working, it's ALL the views on that page. Selecting ANY view just returns to the default view.
