How to change the default display, edit or create page for a SharePoint list

When you create a new SharePoint list you get 4 pages out of the box:

• AllItems.aspx: the default view page
• DispForm.aspx: the display page
• EditForm.aspx: the edit item page
• NewForm.aspx: the create a new item page

My rule no. 1: never modify the default pages!When you want to modify them create a copy and modify the copy.

When you’ve created a new page you want to set it as the default page. You can use SharePoint Designer to do this:

In SharePoint 2007:

• Open SPD and right click on the list
• Select “properties”
• In the new window, select the corresponding file

In SharePoint 2010:

• Select your list and set the file as default in the “Forms” overview:

• Select  the file and choose “Set as Default” in the ribbon.
