List View Threshold

Hi,

We have SharePoint 2013 Foundations installed on premises and some of our Document Libraries are approaching the dreaded List View Threshold of 5000 list items.  We are using folders within all our Document Libraries, and I have read a few posts that say if folders are used, then the List View Threshold is not an issue -- is this correct? Or do I need to create indexes on the columns used for filtering?

Thanks,
Shaun

Hi

Whenever List View Threshold comes into picture, as far as i know below best practices should be followed -

1.) Define folders for your list/library.

2.) Identify columns for indexing as per your business requirement.

3.) Create Views which limit the amount of items returned.

4.) Use alternatives like Search APIs to query lists.

Hope it helps.
