Using Document Library with Baseline

Hi there,
I have a specific need with Sharepoint. I have a document library and I want to be able to mark with a tag or generate a baseline for my folders.
I've already searched on the web, and there is someone doing it just coping and pasting every single file. Is that the better way to get this?
Thanks,
Tiago

Hi Tiago,
What did you mean "Using Document Library with Baseline" and "generate a baseline for my folders"?
Did you mean that navigate the document library folders in treeview?
Did you mean that search or filter multiple folders documents with the same tag (managed metadata column)?
You may be able to use the "Navigation Hierarchies and Key Filters" for that specified SharePoint 2010 library, here is an article about metadata navigation settings you can check below,

  • Corrupt document gets created in document library with document template using createlistitem workflowaction in visual studio workflow for office 365 solution

    Hi,
    My requirement is to create a document library associated to a custom content type with a document template associated. Also I need to create a document based on the template in this document library when a new item is created in another list by taking the
    reference ID of that new Item , I need to create the document with the name appended by ID. I need to do all this deployment using WSP.
    I have created document library with document template associated to content type by following instructions in below stated blog :http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chaks/archive/2011/05/19/deploying-a-document-template-file-in-content-type-in-a-office365-sandboxed-solution.aspx
    This works perfect for me.
    However, there are few observations, when going to Document Library > Library Settings > Advanced Settings > Document Template section - doesnt shows the Edit template link. When tried to look at the value for the document template using view source
    , it is giving me /Lists/MyDocsListInstance/Forms/template.dotx instead of the actual template file uploaded.
    Ignoring the above observation, when I am trying to create a sandbox based workflow in visual studio to create document in document library when new item is created in another list, I provide the ContentTypeID as the ID associated with the document library
    with template. 
    It creates the corrupt document at end of workflow. 
    I have tried using .docx instead of .dotx files for workflow as per solution provided in some of the post but it isnt resolving my issue.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Krutika

    OK, I am going to throw out a lot of ideas here so hopefully they get you closer to a diagnosis. Hang on :)
    Does it happen to work for some users but not others? If so, try logging in on the "good" computer with the "bad" username. This will tell you if the problem is related to the end-user's system. Also, once the user downloads a document
    successfully can they open and work on it in Word? Also, does the document library have any custom content types associated with it or does it just use 'Document'?
    I notice that there are other folks on the web that have run into this same problem and the similarity seems to be that they are either on SharePoint 2007 or have upgraded from 2007. Did this doc library start out as a 2007 library?
    What you might want to do is this: Make a site collection from scratch in 2013 (or find one that you know was created in 2013). Choose team site (or whatever you want) for the root web and set up the security the same way you have it on the malfunctioning
    library. Now, use windows explorer to copy and paste some of the documents to the new location. Be sure you recreate any needed content types. Now test it from the troubled user's computer.
    I'm thinking there may be something that is different about the library since it was migrated through various versions and updates since 2007. I've sometimes found that there can be problems (especially with user profiles but that's a different story) with
    things that go through this evolution.

  • The Create List Item workflow action does not work in document library with document template

    My end goal is more complex but below is a basic example of the issue I’m having that just simply does not work.
    I'm trying to use a site workflow to create an item in a document library that has a document template applied to it but the file that gets created by the workflow is corrupt and cannot be opened.
    I created a document library and edited the document template by adding some text to the header and changing it to a Word docx file instead of a Word dotx file. I tested the document template by clicking the files tab in the ribbon and then clicking new
    document which opens the document template in Word and allows me to edit and save the document back to SharePoint. Then I created a SharePoint 2013 site workflow in SharePoint Designer that contains a single Create List Item action, and that action creates
    an item in the document library with the name field statically defined. I published the workflow and then manually start it on the site. The workflow completes successfully and when I navigate to the document library the document has been created by the workflow.
    When I click on the document to open it in the Word Web App it throws the error pictured below and if I open it in the Word client application it just opens a blank document and not the correct document template.
    I also tried using a SharePoint 2010 workflow with pretty much the same results. Opening the document in Word Web App gives the same error as above and opening the document in the Word client application gives the error pictured below.
    Come on Microsoft creating a Word Document in a SharePoint Document Library from a SharePoint Workflow should just work! Is this a bug or does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the this issue?

    I had the same problem with corrupted document - this worked for me:
    1. Create a 2010 Workflow which creates the list element in a document library
    (you may start this workflow from your 2013 workflow if applicable)
    2. In the Create New List Item properties - make sure to set ContentTypeId to your content type
    ("Id for indholdstype" is Danish for "Contenttype ID")
    3. Your Content Type template should be a ".docx" file - NOT a ".dotx" file...!
    (I have always created my templates for content types as .dotx files - seems Microsoft wants us to use ordinary .docx files as template files for content types)
    Hope this helps you!

    Hi,
    I used the PowerShell you offered to do a test in my SharePoint 2013 and I reproduced your issue. I solved it by doing a little change to the PowerShell which you offered.
    Because you create a document library, the default view of document library is "All Documents" rather than "All Items", just change 
    $Views = $spList.Views["All Items"]
    to
    $Views = $spList.Views["All Documents"]

  • Batch uploading to a document library with content types

    Hi,
    I have a document library with two content types. Now I need to upload documents to this document library. However, if I have large number of files, then uploading through web UI is a pain as metadata will not be attached. How should I automate it  from
    my computer using powershell without relying on Administrator to run the powershell script. Or is there any other way to do it without using powershell? or  can powershell be run remotely from an end user computer?
    Note I am using SharePoint 2010.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to butch upload files to document library with content types.
    There are two good tools in CodePlex which can batch upload files with content types, you can have a look at them.
    DocMetaMan : Bulk document Upload and MetaData (Taxonomy) Setter
    SharePoint Multiple File Upload Script
    There are some third-party tools which can achieve the same scenario, you can refer to it.

  • Issue with site template that contains a document library with a lookup column to another list

    I have a document library called Proposals with a lookup column in the same site called Document Categories (multiple values allowed).  It points to a list called document categories.  I have several sample documents in the Proposal Library that
    contain valid document categories.  When I save the site as a template and instantiate it, everything is fine.  However, when I remove the sample documents from the Proposal library and rebuild the site template, I can't get the  template to
    create another site.  I get an error Unable To Open Lookup List.
    I don't understand why I can instantiate a site from the template when there's sample data, but not when the document library containing the lookup column is empty.
    Does SharePoint 2010 site template support lookup columns?
    Why would it make a difference if the library is empty?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when you created a site from the template with no files in the document library.
    I tested the same scenario per your post, and I can create a site from the template with no files in the document library with no errors.
    To solve this issue, I recommend to verify the things below:
    Did you save the site as a template with Include Content checked? If yes, I recommend to test if it works when saving the site as a template with Include Content unchecked.
    Test the same scenario with a new site to narrow the issue scope.
    I also recommend to check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
    To check event log, click the Start button and type “Event Viewer” in the Search box.
    For SharePoint 2010, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS.
    You can check the ULS log by the methods here:

  • Using Aperture library with different accounts

    I needed to use my library with two different accounts that are on the same MBP. I read where you might be able to put the library on an external disk and check ignore ownership on the info of the HDD. I had recently installed a 320GB HDD to avoid having to drag around an external so I thought maybe if I partitioned the drive it would "see" the second partition as an external. I partitioned off 50GB and checked the "ignore ownership" in the bottom left corner of the info window. I option+opened Aperture and created a new library in the second HDD. After opening Aperture, I imported a few pics into the library and made dup's. I modified them in my account, closed out of Aperture and logged off. I then logged in under my wife's account and was able to open Aperture by option+opening Aperture and choosing the new library location. The pics that I had imported under my log-in were there as well as the the modified versions. I re-modified the versions to see if it work the other way. I closed out of Aperture and logged out of my wife's account and logged in under mine. I clicked on the Aperture icon in my dock and it came right up w/out any problems. I was able to view the versions that I re-modified under my wife's log-in.
    I know you shouldn't share the library across users just in case two account users are trying to access the same library at the same time; but in my case it is one laptop with two accounts so we wouldn't physically be able to access it at the same time.
    So if you have a big enough HDD and you don't want to drag around an external, partition it however big you think you'll need it, check the "ignore ownership" box in the HDD info window, add read & write permissions for the different accounts, move/copy your current library to the new partition and option+open Aperture to choose the new location.

    Thanks! Just the answer that I was looking for! I had tried just moving the library into the shared directory, but, as we now know, this does not work.
    Now only if I had a partition on my local HD (with "ignore ownership" set)...

  • Using Content Query webpart for specific Document library with multiple managed metadata - Document with multiple metadata tags not showing up

    Hi,
    I am having an issue where when I insert a Content Query webpart into a page, and filter to managed metadata, all the right documents show up except one document that happens to have two metadata tags attached to it.  The content query webpart is set
    to only look through a specific document library.  I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
    Here is the one document with two metadata tags:
    Below is the Content Query:

    Hi,
    As I understand, you did not get the results with multiple metadata tags through Content Query web part in SharePoint 2013.
    Check things below:
    1. Check if you have set the item limit more than the display items in Presentation section of the web part. If the item number more than item limit, the rest items will not show.
    2. Check if the item you cannot find uses the content type you have set in the content type section of content query web part.
    When you edit the properties of the item, you will see the content type the item is using.

  • Authentication prompt issue when opening an office file in a document library with read permission for domain users

    An user as part of the domain users tries to open an office file from a document library but he got an authentication prompt asking him to authenticate. Domain users has only access to this library and not to the whole site. This uses to work in SharePoint
    2007 without any problem but not in SharePoint 2013, we didn't have a workflow on SP2007.
    Domain users has read access to only this document library in the site, but he shouldn't get an authentication prompt since he is part of the domain users and he is not trying to modify the document, he can open the document but gets two prompts, he can't
    also see the list using explorer view since nothings appears using the explorer view.
    Now, when opening the file, we can see..Updating Workflow Status, but we don't have any workflow working on this site or library, event any feature related to workflow.
    If we go to the event viewer in the server, we find this information,
    I also checked this thread but I couldn't find this scenario.

  • Issue with New Document in a document library with multiple content types

    Hi,
    I have a created a custom list definition based on a document library. I added 3 content types in this list, one is a document set (lets call it DOCSET), the two others are content types inheriting from Document (DOCA and DOCB).
    I deployed the list definition with a site scoped feature and the list instance with a web scoped feature. After activating the two features, the list is created and the content types are present in the list.
    When I click in the New Document button and choose either the DOCA or DOCB content type, a Word document opens and the DOCA content type is always associated to this Word document.
    With SharePoint Manager 2013 I saw that the template.dotx document was not in the Forms/DOCA or Forms/DOCB folder.
    So I decided to remove all the content types from the list definition and add them by code with the ListAdded event receiver. I used list.ContentTypes.Add to add the content types to the list.
    With this method the templates are correctly copied from the template.dotx in the RootFolder/Forms folder of my list. These templates have the rights content type id, but the New Document button still does not work properly.
    So I looked at the Content Types inside my library and saw that the DocumentTemplateUrl linked to the RootFolder/Forms/template.dotx and not the RootFolder/Forms/DOCA/template.dotx or RootFolder/Forms/DOCB/template.dotx.
    I debugged my code to look closer and see that right after the list.ContentTypes.Add, the DocumentTemplateUrl is correclty set but when my EventReceiver finishes, the DocumentTemplateUrl get back to the RootFolder/Forms/template.dotx.
    Have you any idea why this is not working ?
    Regards

    Hi,
    Per my understanding, there is an issue about the DOCA and DOCB content types which inherits from Document Content Type in your custom list definition.
    By default, if there is a custom content type inherits the OOTB Document Content Type, it will also inherits the template.dotx file from the OOTB Document Content Type.
    The template URL of a custom content type which inherits the OOTB Document Content Type:
    If you want to specify different templates for different content types, the code demo below would be helpful:

  • Having templates appear when users click the "New Document" button in a document library with custom content types

    Hi all,
    I'm using SharePoint Online, but I'm seeing the same behavior in an on-prem 2013 instance as well. My situation is this:
    - I've created a document library
    - I've created a custom content type and attached a custom document template to it
    - I've assigned the custom content type to the document library, and disabled the default "document" option
    What I'm expecting to see is that when I browse to the document library and click "new document", that either a) a picklist appears allowing me to specify the document template I want (using the custom template I specified) or b) open the custom
    template itself. That doesn't happen - instead, when I click new document I'm prompted to upload a file, which seems to contradict the whole point of using a custom content type/custom document template combo.
    Am I missing something? The custom template isn't in the Forms library, which seems to be a problem if I wanted to use the custom document template instead of the default.
    Ideally I'd like a menu like the one shown here:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/59ce3bd8-bf7f-4872-ae76-60d8c81dfc32/display-content-types-on-new-document-button-in-document-libraries?forum=sharepointgeneral, except with me being able to control the list of items that is shown.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hi Brain,
    What you have done is by design behavior.
    If you want to show the Office document templates list (e.g. below image from your above referenced link) to select when click "+new document" link, this will need to install Office Web App 2013 which provides this feature,
    you can new document and see it is using WopiFrame.aspx page, please see more from below article about how to configure OWA 2013 for SharePoint 2013 on-premise.
