Other day I faced a strange issue in my Portals, where my Entity list NOT rendering on the Web Page. The story goes as below.

• I have an Entity List ‘Contact’ with 2 views configured.

• Created a ‘Web Page’ and set the ‘Entity List’ to ‘Contacts’ and ‘Published State’ set to ‘Published’

• Go to Portal and refresh the Web Page but there is no trace of ‘Entity List’

• Initially I suspected Cache Issue, hence I reopened and cleared the Cache but still no luck.

Fix:

• Portal’s ‘Content Editor’ came to my rescue.
• On the Portal, navigate to the ‘Web Form’ and click on ‘Edit’ from ‘Content Editor’ menu.

• In the ‘Edit Contact List’ screen, set the ‘Entity List’ to the ‘Contacts’ entity list and Save.

• That’s solved the issue and I could see the ‘Contacts’ entity list rendered on the ‘Web Page’

Note:

• I don’t have reason or explanation what caused this behavior. Alternately you can try Restart the portal if you have O365 ‘Admin Center’ access.
