Sharepoint 2010: Unable to create folder in custom list

Question

I am trying to create folders in a set of custom lists that I created. However, when I try to do this, the "New Folder" button in the ribbon is disabled. I read the question; and it made me look to enable folder creation in list settings → Presets. However, there seems to be no way to enable the creation of folders on the page. This should not be a resolution issue; since I created lists; and I am also the farm administrator.

I could use a document library; but we will not upload documents to the list; so this is more than i need.

What are my options or what am I doing wrong?

Thanks Frank

Answer 1

I get it. It turned out that I used the preliminary version of SP 2010; it was a mistake.

Answer 2

Go to the List Settings, go to the "Advanced List Settings" section, and there should be an option that says: "Make the" New Folder "command available?" Set this option to yes and you can create folders.

Good luck Patrick
