How to enable the item menu in a SharePoint 2013 list?

Question

I have a SharePoint list and normally the 'three points' (item menu with the options View Item etc.) are always a column. I don't know why but this is not the case in my view/list. How can I change it? Thanks!

Answer 1

If you don't want to use Title column then you can add that menu to your another existing column also.

1.Open your View page( default AllItems.aspx) in designer(list and Libraries -> List_name -> Views -> AllItems.aspx).

2. Now Look for FieldRef tag of your item to which you want to attach that menu.

3. Now add ListItemMenu="TRUE" in that tag.

4. Save youe page and its done.

Answer 2

• Open List > From above ribbon at List tab > Select modify view

• Make sure that this column ( Title (linked to item with edit menu) ) is selected at your view.

Answer 3

Modify the view and make sure that the column called Title (with Edit Menu) is selected. This is the one that has the dropdown menu attached to it.
