It, like all systems, can do but so much at a time, and the Item Limit Threshold is that limit of items that are displayed in a given view. If you’ve operated sites with SharePoint Lists or Libraries for any amount of time, you or one of your customers will trigger the Item Limit Threshold in a List or Library.
The difference though is that if you never indexed columns, your list will stop displaying entries once limit is exceeded. However, if indexed columns and are filtering on those indexed columns, you will have an ability to display the list rows.
Is there a 5000 list view threshold limit?
There is an incorrect perception about the SharePoint list view threshold 5000 error – many users think that the SharePoint list/library just can store 5000 items but that is not true, in fact, SharePoint list can store 30 million items. Then why are we getting this error?
However, if indexed columns and are filtering on those indexed columns, you will have an ability to display the list rows. As the previous responder stated, the secret here is to limit the # of entries per view.
Best practices and strategies for building and operating large SharePoint Lists and Libraries well above the item limit threshold List or Library above 5000 items is indeed possible with planning and some filtering/sorting compromises. If you can make it modern, you should.
Can you sort a 5000 item list in SharePoint?
You’re correct, you can’t sort a list with more than 5000 items on a non-indexed column, your views that use that sort will not work. You can try indexing those columns and that should fix your views.
SharePoint groups and permission levels help you to efficiently manage access to sites. You add users to SharePoint groups and assign permission levels to your site and to its contents. By default, permissions on lists, libraries, folders within lists and libraries, items, and documents are inherited from their parent site.
Limit type Notes; Number of SharePoint groups a user can belong to : 5,000 : Supported : This is not a hard limit but it is consistent with Active Directory guidelines.
What should the name of a SharePoint group be?
The name of the SharePoint group matches the name of the site. For example, if the name of the site is Marketing, a group will be called Marketing Owners. You can add people to these groups, so that you can later grant access to the group instead of having to grant access to each individual user.
