Sitecore 7 and above has feature called as item bucket.
Item bucket can store a theoretically unlimited amount
of items without displaying them in content tree i.e. children’s are displayed
as hidden items.
But if you want to show all hidden items then click on
"View -> Buckets".
All child Items are by default displayed in tree structure
of date and time format.
But what if you want to show items only according to
Year wise or combination of date and time wise. How to do that?
Solution:-
Sitecore provide its config file with its every new
feature. So Sitecore provides "Sitecore.Buckets.config"
for bucketing. Open this file and locate below entry
<setting name="BucketConfiguration.BucketFolderPath" value="yyyy\/MM\/dd\/HH\/mm"/>
If you want bucket by year wise then modified this
configuration entry as
<setting name="BucketConfiguration.BucketFolderPath" value="yyyy"/>
That’s it.
But take precaution of the fact that this will create only
year folder in all the buckets in content tree.
