I currently have a normal SharePoint list with about 15 columns or so. I need one of the columns to have a list of links. I know SharePoint lets you have 1 link and it also lets you have multiple lines of text... So I thought it would be there as an option, but no such luck. Anyone knows a solution for this? I wasn't able to find any info online, which doesn't happen often. I guess I wasn't looking for the right keywords? If anyone can point me into the right direction, it would be great!
Thanks

Maybe a multiplelines text field, and configured it to be Enhaced Rich Text enable. It would allow you to insert your links as in a HTML page (it would be the same as to use a CEWQ)
We have a custom filed CALLed Document Link Field that enabled you to link multiple documents to a list item, maybe this is what yuo are looking for. In any case either you need a custom field, or use a multiple lines of text

I like to check if there is a way to allow Document Library Search feature to function but when user tries to search in Main Site Search Box, document library items are not returned in the result list?
I have tried to add search query but it does not work.
Thank you.
I've not done this myself but I think you would need to go in to the site settings and play around with the Search area to get something like this to work. I think the area you would have to tinker with would be Result sources.
Hope this helps

Good day to you. I am newbie in SharePoint 2013 so please bear with me. I have created around 15 lists in my website each containing same columns but different data (they differ semantically).
I am aware that we can change the default view, edit and display form for each list by creating new form in SharePoint Designer 2013. This seems like a very bad approach as far as the maintenance is concerned. I know my lists are exactly the same so why do I have to create same 15 display forms for each of the lists?
Is there a way to create one custom Display form (may be in a central location, i don't know i am just thinking :P ) for all the lists? Is there a way to tell a list to use a specific display form? Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
If i understand your question correctly, you have 15 lists with same set of columns. You want to change the display/look of the form. All 15 lists should have same look and feel right!! If yes, then why don't you try with some html, javascript solution. Since you are in sharepoint 2013, javascript support for solutions is very good like rest queries. You can use SPServices also.
If you want to to add data to the list whenever you click on the "New Item" link in the list then hijack this link such that it should navigate to your custom form. Pass your list name as query parameter. Whenever user is saving the form, get the list name from the query parameter and save the data to that list.
There could be another ways also to achieve the solution with html and javascript.

Sam I think you can create a custom content type and create custom display form for your content type. Enable the content type in each of your lists so automatically this customized form would be available.
The advantage of this approach is that suppose if you need one more list after some time you can just add this content type and your form would be available into the new list as well.
The approach is explained in the link below.

Just wanted to write the solution which I implemented as it might help others as well. (Thanks Hiren and Mihir for your valuable inputs)
I had 15 lists and I was showing the data to the user using content search web part with custom display template. All of the lists were using the same display template so I made a new page just to show the item details. In the display template I pointed the item URL (i hijacked the list name and the current item id) to my new page and displayed the item. Let me know if anyone is interested in the whole solution or further elaboration is required.
I am currently working on a project which requires content to be published onto a view or page depending on a search result criteria. For example: I search through my content for the word dog and this word appears on 4 of 20 pieces of content. I wish to view all of those items on a page that is not the Search Results page, but rather one that displays all the content found, so I can print each piece of content.
I apologize if this post is awkwardly worded. At this moment it is just an idea and I am trying to get a better picture of how to change publishing based on search results to a certain area.
Thank you for your time -- and if anyone wishes to ask follow up questions, I'd be more than willing to help clarify.
You can use a view with exposed filter. Create a view, create a filter criteria there, then in settings - check "Expose this filter to visitors, to allow them to change it". A user will see a form in a view, wich you can also make separate from a view, by setting "exposed form" to "yes" and putting it in a sepparate block.
in a List i have one 'Status' field that should be accessible to only Owners and to the Viewers/Readers it should not be accessible. Do anybody can guide me how to do this.
Well, you can, your view still is visible if the users know how to reach the default views of your list, if its not a security issue, you can use this:
Open your All Items View (/Lists/MyList/AllItems.aspx)
Edit the Page
Add the same List as a WebPart, twice
Delete the original webpart (the one with the Change View drop down)
Edit your WebParts and configure your views
In the Toolpart, on the Advanced [+] set Audience Targetting to your desired Groups
Done!
Either that or you can create a workflow that copies the item to a new list with its metadata, but without that specific column and only give the viewers rights to see that list.
If the question is one of security (it usually is, else just use a view), you can't lock down specific columns. You can find techniques to hide them, but then you're just plugging holes.
The workflow approach recommended by KoenVosters is probably the only secured way I can think of delivering this without coding.
This is not possible out of the box, but I came across this tool that will help to archive this with ease
In SharePoint Designer I use some lists as sources and then link them together with an operation GetListItems (I fetch items from multiple lists on different site collections for rollup/aggregation):

Now something is fine as I managed to get the result: alt text http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/4835/ss20090428101013.png
But the strings that are attached to field result (6;#, 2;#) is... disturbing.
How can I get rid from those attached strings? They are not attached to all fields, but to some (important ones):

Ahh, well usally that happens - you keep searching for answer, then seek for help and find it yourself.
I used substring xsl function, to strip away those first characters. Messy, if i want to add links to that table, but works.

By the way, the main question how to rollup content from multiple site collections has been journey to me for several days already. If anyone is in the same situation, I recommend (well because I found myself an answer there) these:
