Hello. I would like to get rid of the BY line in the default view for Announcements. The BY line wants to display the user to posted the announcement, which for us is usually not the person who wrote the announcement. I would like to either be able to remove the BY line from the default view or be able to make it display my own text instead of requiring a field from the Created By user.
I know you can assign a different field from the Create By user, but setting this to a blank field still leaves the word 'by' displayed on it's own line.
I searched around in SharePoint designer to find an object that represents this view, but so far I have had no luck locating it if it exists in SharePoint Designer's view.
I tried adding my own Author field, but I do not see a way to assign that field to the default summary display. I need the default summary view because it truncates the amount of the announcement displayed, so I can pack several announcements onto the same page without it being too large.
Does anyone know how to either:
1) Remove the BY link all together from this default summary view for announcements?
2) Or assign a different variable to be displayed in this default summary view for the BY line other than a Created By field?
3) If neither of those, then does anyone know how to make a new summary view for announcements that looks the same, displays only the first portion of the body text, and appears pretty much the same as the default summary view for announcements?
Thanks!
