SharePoint: “New” Icon (Screencast)
Author: Laura Rogers, Birmingham, AL
SharePoint 911
When new items are added to lists and libraries in SharePoint, a cute little icon appears next to each list item for 2 days after the creation date. When a data view web part is created, this icon does not exist by default, so it needs to be added back. Here are the steps for adding the New icon back, and how to configure it so that it displays only when items are new, as usual.
For full instructions, more information, and more ideas for this IfNew function, please read my blog post on the subject.

Excellent, simple solution, Laura. Thank you!
HI Laura. =)
Okay, so we already know that I’m a bit of a dork… anyway, I played around once with the New icon and setting it’s property value with stsadm. Did you know that you could set that value to any amount of days?!
I tested it out, and set it to 1 century!!! (hehe) All relative I guess. ;-)
I love your work. you just open my eyes on so many things
thank you
