Work with your list<\/h1>\n
In a well-functioning Combat Operations Center (COC), as Dan Peterson outlines in his article, the COC journal tracks all events and information (often in the form of abbreviated reports) that are passed through the COC or are regularly communicated over radio or in digital chat. In SharePoint, this journal takes the form of a primary list, edited and monitored by authorized personnel (those given the correct permissions by the site owners). See the Microsoft documentation for more information about setting custom permissions<\/a>.<\/p>\n When you are entering extensive information into a SharePoint list, you may get overwhelmed. Keep in mind that a purposefully designed SharePoint list (journal) can transform into multiple views of that list, mimicking Dan\u2019s analog status poster boards. Or, to put it another way, it\u2019s a nimble way to manipulate information.<\/p>\n With custom list views, you can group, filter, sort, organize, and distill data to use on a SharePoint page. ArcGIS for SharePoint then helps you to overlay and display your list views as spatial layers, bringing simplicity and cohesion to the mission. In the military, being able to visualize where defense forces are located and significant events are happening is critical to informed decision-making. To learn more about creating views for a SharePoint list, see the Microsoft documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2066552,"id":2066552,"title":"Journal List","filename":"Journal-List.png","filesize":102956,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Journal-List.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/esri-maps-sharepoint\/mapping\/dynamic-mapping-with-sharepoint-list-views\/journal-list","alt":"Diagram outlining SharePoint list and site interaction","author":"338542","description":"","caption":"A diagram showing how a master list can interact with a SharePoint site","name":"journal-list","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2064882,"date":"2023-09-01 14:48:24","modified":"2023-09-01 14:52:21","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":801,"height":451,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Journal-List-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Journal-List.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Journal-List.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":432,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Journal-List.png","large-width":801,"large-height":451,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Journal-List.png","1536x1536-width":801,"1536x1536-height":451,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Journal-List.png","2048x2048-width":801,"2048x2048-height":451,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Journal-List.png","card_image-width":801,"card_image-height":451,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Journal-List.png","wide_image-width":801,"wide_image-height":451}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" Once the filtered views are created, you can start building your command center.
