I am trying to add "Current User Filter" Web Part to a page. When I click "Add Web Part", I don't see the Category "Filters" itself on the selection page to select "Current User Filter" web part. Does this require any feature activation at the farm level or site collection level ? Not sure what needs to be done to get "Filters" web parts. We are using MOSS 2007 Standard.

No. It does not answer my question.

Hello, When the Add Web Parts box pops up, if you click on Advanced Web Part Gallery and Options (in the bottom right), can you locate the filters web parts? If you don't see them there, I would start by looking at your features lists in Site Actions > Site Settings > Site Collection Features (Also Look at Site Features). Make sure you have the Office Server Standard Site Collection features activated. Check that first. If you don't see the Standard features as an option, and you know you have them, check in Central Administration > Operations. Do you have a section at the bottom called Upgrade and Migration? If you do, can you confirm that you have deployed the Standard features throughout your farm, or at least to the web application where you are seeing this issue?Chris Caravajal MCTS SharePoint Help

"Office Server Standard Site Collection features" is activated under "Site Collection Features". "Advanced Web Part Gallery" displays same list of web parts (48) as in "Add Web Parts" window. I don't see filter web parts like, "User Context Filter Web Part", "List Filter Web Part", "Filter Actions Web Part" etc., in the list

Is it activated under Site Features?Chris Caravajal MCTS SharePoint Help

Yes, It is activated under "Site Features" too.

Would you be able to do some testing? What I was wondering, is if you could create a site collection based off of the Collaboration Portal. Then go into that site collection and see if the web parts were visible. Chris Caravajal MCTS SharePoint Help

I cannot create a Site collection. I am Site Collection administrator on 3 sites. Two of them are created with Publishing Site Template and another with Team Site Template. All of them have "Office SharePoint Server Standard Site Features" activated under "Site Features" as well as "Site Collection Features". We are on MOSS 2007 Standard. I am not sure if Filter Web Parts are available by default only on MOSS Enterprise.

Filter Web Parts are part of MOSS Enterprise. Look at the Business Intelligence tab, Line 25 of the SharePoint 2007 Feature Comparison Chart. http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/d/c/1dc632e8-71e1-466f-8a2f-c940f1438e0a/SharePointProductsComparison.xls There are also some web parts available for free on CodePlex if you can talk your administrators into installing them: http://spvisibilityfilter.codeplex.com/ http://dropdownsharepoint.codeplex.com/ -Jeff Jeff Holliday, MCTS - Solutions Architect - Portals and Collaboration - Ensynch, Inc

Filter Web Parts are part of MOSS Enterprise I have (Enterprise or paid) Microsoft Sharepoint Server 2010 and had "all" needed categories in webcollection on my intial http://SPServer/* But they (Business Data, Filters, Outlook Web App, Search, etc. categories) were missing it in any additionally created webapplication like http://SPServer:777 and subsites They appeared after going to root of webapplication and web collection http://SPServer:777: --> Site Actions --> Site Settings --> Site Collection Administration --> Site Collection Features and pressing "Activate" button against: SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features Features such as InfoPath Forms Services, Visio Services, Access Services, and Excel Services Application, included in the SharePoint Server Enterprise License Hope this will save a few minutes for others and for me in future, if I forget it further on Guennadi Vanine -- ().

Yes, It is activated under "Site Features" too. It should have been activated under "Site collection features" under "Site Collection Administration" not in "Site Features"Guennadi Vanine -- ().
