How to know on which pages a particular list is being used?

Hi
So we have this site which has not been cleaned up for a while resulting in the creation of many lists many of which are not being used as well. I want to know that where all a particular list is being used i.e on which all pages so that if the list is not
being used, I could delete it. Is there any simple way to do it.
Please share your thoughts:)
Thanks
Supriya Sinha

Hi Supriya,
OOTB I think you can use SharePoint designer, but I would suggest  custom code to iterate to all pages, and get the lists that are associated with these pages.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/633633/sharepoint-how-can-i-find-all-the-pages-that-host-a-particular-web-part
another one would be if those lists were never used and you can check for list with empty data.
I would use Get-SPLists to get all of the lists to check for zero items.

  • How to know to which page the user is going

    Hi! I want to know to which domain my user is going after leaving a certain page. I want to know this to differentiate if is moving to a page inside my site, if he's leaving or if he's closing the browser.
    Hope u can help me! Regards

    If a user clicks a link on the page then you can tell that where is he/she heading,but if they type the address in the location bar,then you are out of luck.
    And this is a JavaScript/html related question( I think...*_*)

  • How to find out which schema(time and payroll) is being used for which empl

    Hi,
      Can anyone tell me if there is any way we can find out which schema is relevant for which group of employees, for example in a system which has employees from different countries and for each country there is a diffrerent schema being used ?
    Is there any feature which defaults the schema names according to groups of employees ? If so what is the name of the feature?
    Regards
    QB

    hai
    generally  the schemas are named X000  which stands for common schema  nomination
    x replaced by respective country like for india it is IN00  for US  U000etc
    it is not given according to the group of emplyees but according to the country grouping for your org units
    time schemas are country independent they work for all the countries

  • How to know the total page number of the standard report

    How to know the total page number of the standard report?
    If I insert a graph, a table, or text into the end of the standard report, how to know how much space is left for the current page?

    Hello Net,
    Unfortunately, we do not have any VIs in LabVIEW that can figure out the number of pages of a standard report. However, with the use of ActiveX calls you can achieve this task. Here are a couple of discussion forums which discuss this:

  • How can you determine which pages are using a specific symbol?

    I want to find all the pages that are using a specific symbol, but I don't know how.  I can't simply switch symbols because some have specific text & want to switch them with more generic smart buttons.  I'll have to find every instance to update the text.
    thanks!

    me too, my file has 39 pages with many unuse symbols, now I want to delete those unuse.
    I found that after deleteing those unuse in Page 1, actually they are being used in other page,
    I can't find the way to delete them all at one time for all pages.
    and I am using CS3

  • How to know no of pages in smart forms to be printed ?

    Hi,
         How to know no of pages in smart forms to be printed ?
    though i got SFSY structure during run time of smartform , even that was not useful.
    &SFSY-FORMPAGES&
    Displays the total number of pages for the currently processed form. This  allows you to include texts such as'Page x of y' into your output.
    for that Page &SFSY-PAGE& of &SFSY-FORMPAGES&
    during debug of smart form i don't  understand how it is calculating no of pages  ,as i kept break point before printing page no in smart form.
    please check my  two screen shots, sfsy-formpage still contains current page no only but not total no of pages.
    Help Required.
    Thanks In advance.

    Hi Prakash,
    You will not get these values during debugging.. Let the program execute completely, you will get the right values.
    As Manish said, the value for &SFSY-FORMPAGES& will be known only after all the pages are processed, though it is not necessary that you use them in the final window only. It can be a text node in a window of any type.
    You will get the desired output, just cant see them during debugging within the program. At the time of printing or in the print review, output would be as expected.
    Also, FYI, it would be better to give total pages as &SFSY-FORMPAGES(3ZC)&  as there can be error if the total number of pages exceeds 9, due to lack of sufficient space to print more digits

  • How can I know from which page a user came??

    Hi.
    There is a way to know what was the previous page in the usrs browsers, but I don't know how.
    Can you help me?
    The problem is:
    I have an error page that writes exception info on the screen:
    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
    PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw);
    exception.printStackTrace(pw);
    String msg = sw.toString();
    It works fine, and usualy in the msg I have all info about the page that the exception ocured in.
    But when it is an SQL exception, I don't know what jsp page made that SQL call.
    So I want to print the path of the page previous to the error page.

  • How to know on which time dimension level we are ?

    Hello,
    I would like to know is there a variable or a mean to know dynamically on which time dimension level we are in order to use that in a CASE WHEN clause ?
    By using a sort of aggregation tables in which one of the column contains the name of the level, I could know on which level I am but I can't use that for drill down. What I mean :
    Tab1 :
    'Year' as typelevel, year
    Tab2 :
    'Month' as typelevel, year, month
    In BMM, I have made one logical table with as Source tab1 and tab2 and as columns typelevel, year and month.
    tab1 has in content column the year level
    tab2 has in content column the month level.
    So when in Answers I retrieve
    typelevel, year
    the result is : 'Year', 2008
    and when I request : typelevel, year, month
    the result is : 'Month', 2008, 1
    But if I want to drill from year to month in order to have :
    'Year', 2008
    and then after drill
    'Month', 2008, 1
    it is impossible as a filter on typelevel='Year' is added on the month level, so it retrieves 0 columns.
    If someone has an idea on how to do that it would be very great.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • How can I tell which page is hogging my CPU?

    You know how sometimes when you're browsing your cooling fans will kick into overdrive, and your MacBook becomes noticeably warm, if not downright hot, and if you open the Activity Monitor and sort processes by %CPU it shows the Flash plug-in at the top of the list, using more CPU than the next ten processes put together?
    Determining which page contains the Flash object that's responsible can be difficult if you have a lot of windows and tabs open. First you have to tell which pages have Flash content. It isn't always obvious. Sometimes Flash ad banners look like static images or gif animations. The easiest way to tell is to right-click and see if you get the normal contextual menu or the Flash menu (unfortunately, ad banners sometimes listen for the mousedown event and navigate to the advertiser's site).
    If you have several different pages with Flash content open, the quickest way to tell which one is hogging your CPU is to close them one by one while watching the Activity Monitor window, but then you'll end up closing a lot of windows you really didn't want to close.
    A more precise, and more time-consuming, way to narrow down your list of suspects, if you have the "Develop" menu item enabled, is to inspect the page and hide the element that the Flash is embedded in. This is made more difficult by the fact that you can't inspect the element by right-clicking directly on the Flash object--that just brings up the Flash menu--and sometimes clicking nearby doesn't get you close to it because they sometimes insert the Flash elsewhere in the document and move it to its apparent location with JavaScript or CSS positioning. Once you find it, you then need to edit the object's parent element, adding "display: none;" to its style rules. Then check the Activity Monitor to see if you got the right one.
    I've searched in vain for a browser plugin that shows how much cpu or memory each page is using, or which pages include Flash content, or a utility like Activity Monitor that gives more detailed information on specific processes, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had any luck or has any tips on how to quickly identify useless content that wastes CPU time and kills performance.

    Hi David
    Rather than trying to sort out persistent Flash problems, simply install ClickToFlash - latest stable version is 1.5.5. This effectively blocks all Flash content, except for any you specifically want to view.
    Once installed, you'll see the word "Flash" in a grey panel wherever Flash ads etc would otherwise appear. If you want to see the Flash content, simply click on the word "Flash". If this is a site you frequent, right click on the word Flash and add it to ClickToFlash's White list.
    You'll find access to ClickToFlash's preferences via the Safari Menu.
    Given Apple's recent position on the use of Flash content, perhaps this deformed/ill-conceived plugin medium will be a thing of the past within 2 years.

  • How to know in which roles an iview is being used

    Hi,
    We would like to know if a specific iview is being used by any portal role.
    It there any kind of "where used" report where I can investigate the relations between portal content objects (iview, page, workset, role) ?
    I tried the PCD Toool but it seems of no help
    thanks
    Moti

    Dear Moti,
    As Debasish stated, you can check the Tracing Delta Link Dependencies for the iview in which you can find the where particular iview is used in the page, workset or role in the SAP Portal.
    Refer to [Tracing Delta Link Dependencies|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/76/3a0841aaccf023e10000000a155106/content.htm]

  • How can I select which page to display based upon a log-in?

    I have created a page where the user will enter one of several codes.  I wanted to use the login function and validate the code against a table that I have pre-loaded with these codes.  The code entered would control which page was displayed to the user. 
    (I have identified a community of potential clients, and this group is broken down into 10 unique sub-groups.  Each person receives a mail that includes one of 10 unique 'codes', which identify the sub-group.  When the recipient calls up my website and enters the code (as a user ID), this will determine which of the 10 pages is displayed.  If someone randomly enters (or mis-keys) a value into the promo field a default error page (page #11) would display.)
    Is this possible using the log-in function.  Now that I'm looking at the function, it appears that any successful log-in will be directed to the same page.  If I can't use the log-in function, how can I accomplish this.  In essence, I am looking for the successful codes to act as an "if . . .then . . .else . . " type of logic.  Or, a successful hit on one of records in my table is akin to making a menu selection (that is not available in any other fashion). 
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. 
    BTW - kudos to David Powers and Charles Nadeau for the great tutorial on Setting up a PHP development environment for Dreamweaver!

    Thanks so much for the reply. I chose to go with the array and added the following code (my code is in red) :
       if (isset($_SESSION['PrevUrl']) && false) {
          $MM_redirectLoginSuccess = $_SESSION['PrevUrl']; 
    $redirects = array('snj830' => 'promosnj830.php', 'snj141' => 'promosnj141.php', ‘snj416’ => ‘promosnj416’);
        header("Location: " . $redirects[$_SESSION[‘MM_Username]] );
      else {
        header("Location: ". $MM_redirectLoginFailed ); 
    The re-direct on a failed logon is working successfully, but if I enter one of my 3 valid codes, the following screen is displayed:
    Index of /boundsauctions.com/promopages
    Name Last modified Size Description
         Parent Directory             -       
         _notes/      15-Oct-2010 17:40      -       
         errorpage.php      13-Oct-2010 17:24      1.9K       
         promo _login.php      15-Oct-2010 17:40      5.6K       
         promosnj141.php      15-Oct-2010 16:00      6.2K       
         promosnj416.php      15-Oct-2010 15:54      4.6K       
         promosnj830.php      15-Oct-2010 15:55      4.6K       
    As you can see, the last three pages here are the ones that I am trying to display.  Can you tell what I'm doing wrong?
