Troubleshooting

I do not see the same sites that someone else does.

This is because you do not have the same rights as someone else. Only those sites which you have access to will be presented to you.

I receive the error "The format of the URL you specified is incorrect."

This indicates that the URL you specified within the "Status Properties" of the Web Part is incorrectly identified. Please go into the Status Properties of the Web Part and correctly identify the site you are trying to access. The format of the URL must be http://Site-URL or http://Site-URL/Sub-Site-Name.

I receive the error "The URL you specified was incorrect and the site cannot be found."

This indicates that the URL you specified within the "Status Properties" of the Web Part is incorrectly identified. Please go into the Status Properties of the Web Part and correctly identify the site you are trying to access. The format of the URL must be http://Site-URL or http://Site-URL/Sub-Site-Name.

I receive the error "No Lists Found"

This indicates that no lists have been found for the site and levels chosen. Please make sure that you have access to the sites that you would like to return contacts from and that you have entered a numerical value into the "Levels Returned" text box.

I receive the error "The List Being Returned XML is incorrectly formatted."

This indicates that manual administration of the Shared Web Part Property "Lists Being Return" was attempted. Please remove and add the web part to the page and select the lists to be returned again.

I receive the error "No Items Found..."

This indicates that the search criteria, filter criteria is incorrect, the user doesn't have access to the list(s) with information, the list or site doesn't exist anymore, or there is no data within any of the lists that have selected to be returned for the web part. To see if the search text entered is incorrect select text from one of the lists search fields and enter it within the search box to see if anything is returned. To see if the filter criteria is incorrect choose a different filter field and search text to return different information. Please make sure that your filter string is written as "Field=SearchText". (Example: Postal Code=11111) If still nothing is coming back check to make sure that the lists being returned have items within them, that the list and site returned still exist, and the user has access to them.

I don't see a list that I know exists within the site.

This can occur for several reasons;
1) The List must have all of the List Template Required Fields within one of the List Templates Supported
2) The List must have been created utilizing the proper List Template.

How must the list be setup in order to be returned by the web part?

If you create the a List via the Default List Template of SharePoint, say Contacts,  or a CorasWorks Generated List like Updated Contacts, then it will be returned within the Web Part for selection.

Does the list returned have to be named the same as the Web Part? (I.e. Document Roll-Up Advanced - Documents)

No it does not. You must make sure that the List in question was created with the proper List template and that the fields required are within it. Outside of that you can name the list anything that you want.
