Configuring the Lightning Conductor Web Part

To configure the Lightning Conductor Web Part for Microsoft® SharePoint®, use the following steps:

1. When the Web Part is not configured for Multiple views, from the Web Part drop-down menu click Configure Lightning Conductor.
   
   
   
   If multiple views are not enabled, the Lightning Conductor menu will look like the image above.
   
   
2. Otherwise, click the drop-down arrow to the right of View and select the view you wish to configure.
   
   
   
   
3. Then from the Web Part menu, click Configure view.
   
   
   
   The above image shows the Lightning Conductor menu when multiple views are enabled. Note that Configure Lightning Conductor is missing, and additional options to Configure, Create, and Delete Views, or set the current view as default have been added. Views are covered in the next section.
