Learning SharePoint

Today I am Posting a quick tip about How to Hide CallOuts in a SharePoint 2013 Task List.
CallOuts by default, are displayed on “Task Name” field in a typical SharePoint 2013 Tasks List.See the screen below.

To disable or hide these CallOuts Permanently, you would need to modify the CalloutMenu & CalloutMenuAllowed Properties of this Column or use a Custom Column with CalloutMenuAllowed set to disabled.Read more about this at Here.

For a quick and dirty fix to remove CallOuts from a “Task Name” Field and display the regular ECB (Edit Control Block) menu you can simply Create a Custom View with a different style (other than default). Lets look at the Steps -

1. Navigate to your ListView WebPart or Task List.
2. Select the List Tab and select “Create View”

3. Next in the Create New View Page add a name for your view and scroll down to the “Style” section. Select “Newsletter, no lines” in View Style: and save the View.(See below)

With the new View the List View looks like below –

Enjoy the new View.
