QUESTION:
How does a subsite get access to a parent site's lists and filter them into a new view?
BACKGROUND:
We have a Sharepoint environment with a main site for everyone. The main site lists all employees, all calendar events, all projects, etc... We also have subsites for each group (Operations, Networking, etc...). Each subsite has an owner responsible for making changes.
SITUATION:
Currently the owner of each subsite has to create new lists of their groups employees,calendar events, projects, etc... I would like the subsites to have access to the main site's lists. This would allow the subsite owner to simply filter the main lists rather than re-entering new employees lists/ calendar events, for their specific group.
EXAMPLE:
Main site has master list of employees' contact information.
Subsite owner cannot filter master list for their subsite.
So, subsite owner has to re-enter all employee's contact information into a new list if they want a contact list for only their group.
