Per-Location View option is missing in SharePoint 2010

In this article, I will describe the issue that I faced while working on Per-Location View options and troubleshooting steps that I have taken to resolve.
Brief details:
You can configure which views are available for specific locations in the site hierarchy. The locations in a site hierarchy for which you can configure the availability of views are:
·         Lists
·         Libraries
·         Folders for lists and libraries.

How to reproduce the issue?
I have created a site by using blank template. Blank site template does not have any default list/libraries created and we can design it as per our project requirements. So afterwards I have created a custom list and tried to configure the per location view settings but here is the mystery begins...As I am not able to see that option under list settings.

How to resolve this issue?
·         Open the sharepoint site in which you are facing the issue
·         Site actions
·         Site settings-site actions (don’t be confused with this repeated word)
·         Manage site features
·         Activate this feature Metadata Navigation and Filtering
·         Go back to the list settings now and check the results JJ

You can see that option is there now and I can see your smiling face J

Important guidelines about this ‘Location per View’ option

1)   You cannot use personal views for per-location views
2)   To configure per-location view settings you must have at least the permissions obtained by being added to the default Designer security group for the site that the list or library is in.
