Using SharePoint 365, in the Documents library, I have created folders for each of the departments in my company (Administration, HR, Sales, etc.), and then within each folder, I am storing the documents specific to that department.
I am now attempting to create a webpage for each of those departments which, aside from displaying other useful bits of information, will need to display all of the documents within that department's specific folder.
For example: The 'Administration' webpage will display Web Part > Apps > Documents > View (Filtered by Folder = Administration)
I've been searching for hours, and haven't yet been able to find a way to do this... so my next idea was to create a calculated column that would display the URL of the document, which in itself, would display the document's folder structure (allowing me to do a 'contains' filter). However, I have been unable to find out how to do this either.
I was hoping it would be as easy and using a calculation =[Path], or =[EncodedAbsUrl], but SharePoint isn't recognising those as existing column names.
I have also attempted to create my very first workflow in SPD, which changes the value of a blank text column (called 'URL') to the Encoded Absolute URL value (Stage 1: Set URL to Current Item:Encoded Absolute URL > Go to End of Workflow), but then after publishing it and uploading a new document, SharePoint gives me an error that another user (myself) is trying to edit the document, and then there is still nothing appearing in the URL column.
Any help with either filtering by folder, or displaying the URL as a locked field that I can filter by, would be greatly appreciated.
