Preview Pane View of a SharePoint List

Sometimes with all of the things SharePoint can do, you tend to look over many interesting items until someone else mentions them. This happened today when I saw a post by the SharePoint Team at Tallan. The post discussed using the Preview Pane view of a list.



This view allows the user to hover over a list item and see all the other values for the list item. This is all OOTB functionality in SharePoint. All you have to do is go to Modify This View and under the style section select Preview Pane.



I can definitely see this being used in our Intranet installation to allow users to easily thumb through many items to see the related information for that list item.
