What is the best way to secure documents by division?

I'm sure this type of question has been asked and my needs aren't unique, but I didn't see exactly what I need.  I'm fairly new to Sharepoint and could use some help, please.
I have a document library and one of the metadata fields is Division.  We set up a Coordinator group for each division and would like the users in the group to only be able to view and manage their division's documents.  I set up a view for each
division, and we are setting up a web part for each view, and using the Target Audience to control which view people see.  I think this is clumsy and there are better ways to do this (probably).  Contributors are all in one common group, and I think
we're OK with that because each conributor can only view and manage his own documents.  It's the coordinators who currently have access to ALL of the documents in the library that I want to change so they can only access their own division's documents.
I am considering setting up a folder for each division, and when someone deposits a document in the library, I would use an SP Designer workflow to move the document to the approriate folder based on the division.  I think I can then secure each folder
to a particular coordinator group.  That sounds easy enough and may be the best approach.
I think, but am not sure, if I can assign security directly based on the Division column and not have to use the folders.  I'm not sure if I can do this, and, if I can, I'm not sure it is the best approach.  I'm worried I might get too many security
scopes if it looks at each item separately.  Or can I set up  differnet content type for each division and control access based on content type?
Anyway, I'm looking for the best approach and I'm not knowledgeable enough about SharePoint to know this on my own.  Obviously I want something that's easy to set up and manage, doesn't create too many scopes, etc.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Tom,
Out of the box you can assign permission to an item based on thier cloumn value.You can write an event receiver for that.
I would suggst you to create a content type and use different document library for different divison.Use this common content type with all the document libraries.Permission  segregation based on different doc library would be much easier to maintain and
performance would increase.Using a single document library with lots of stop ineherit item level permission degarde the performance.
Thanks

    Governments and ex's will/may have recourse to the legal process (or in the case of the Gov they can choose to ignore the legal system if they feel like it) when they want to see something of yours, good luck hardening your Mac against that. The best way to avoid the possibility of snooping over public networks is to avoid them but if you can't then Kappy's suggestion will help.
    Strong passwords (everywhere) and don't use the same password in multiple locations.
    If you really want to secure your home wireless use Mac address connection authentication, do not allow unknown Mac addresses to connect. It's much stronger than a WPA password alone.

  • What is the best way to secure my iPad from ID theft

    What is the best way to secure iPad purchases from the app store?

    Technically, they will import off your flash drive....if it's one of the models that work (maybe 50% do) and if they meet the very rigid naming convention that the iPad insists on.
    It's far easier to use a computer then either sync them on via iTunes, e-mail them to yourself or upload them to something like dropox, then download them onto your device.

  • What's the best way to secure an Apple TV unit?

    I'm looking to secure an Apple TV in my office. What's the best way to lock it down to, say, a table or a wall?

    Some type of locking cabinet or drawer to put the unit in that leaves sufficient room for the cables to come out the back.
    Then use the Remote app on an iOS device to control the unit.

  • What is the best way to sync media onto the iPhone using iTunes?

    I know of two ways- one is be simply dragging items onto the iphone folder. The other is by clicking the iphone folder and selecting which playlists,artists, ect I want to sync.
    Is there any difference between the two?

    I have the same question: what is the best way to sync documents between mac devices?
    But I want to be clear:  normally when we use the word "synchronize" or "sync" we are referring to an automatic update to the latest version of the document, whatever the document.
    Just to be clear:  to "transfer" documents is not really the same as to "synchronize".  I will add to the question here with my thoughts. Please excuse me if the om only wants to transfer documents.
    We have tried, over many months, to use SugarSync.  It worked great when I only put in about 10 files to be synced.  It took the latest version and updated it on the other computers that were connected.  But when we tried to sync the whole disk ... we just could NOT get it to work right. Meaning it would scan absolutely ALL of the files on the computer looking for the ones that were modified rather than just taking the lastest ones modified and syncing those.  Their tech department was not much help: I followed all of the steps they told me to do but we just could not get it to work right.  What a disapointment (and a loss of money).
    I would love to find a software that automatically detects what the last modified files were and it will update ONLY that on the other devices (no matter what kind of files they are).
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

  • What is the best way to work with Word documents in The InDesign CS4???

    I work in Microsoft Word 2007 and all my documents have *.doc format.
    What is the best way to work with Word documents in InDesign CS4???
    David Blatner says to avoid copying and pasting text from Word instead of placing it (Ctrl+D).
    How about pasting RTF or Text Document???
    I want to make book's layout in ID CS4 and its main feature is that there is the left page with text and the right - with graphics.
    So, as I understand to place the text on each page I must create for example 70 Word documents and place each item on 70 left pages???
    It loks like wasting time. I sthere another way of making such layout???  What kind????

    It's best to place any text.
    You can have all of your text in one file and use auto-flow to add threaded text frames and pages as required (Hold down the Shift key when you click the loaded text cursor), but it's a little non-standard to have the thread only on one side of the spread from the auto-flow perspective, so you'll have to set up properly.
    This is one case where a master text frame will work to your advantage. On your master page spread, add a text frame to the left page, but not to the right (or at least not threaded to one on the right -- for some other project you might actually want two independent text threads). Hold the loaded cursor over a frame on the left side of a document page and auto-flow. ID will add new spreads as necessary, but only put the text on the left side.

  • What is the best way to create business documents in CRM

    Hi All,
    What is the best way to create business documents like contract, sales order, debit memo etc in CRM ? Unlike R3 we can't use our good old BDC with recording. Moreover for most of them although there are Business Object but no BAPI to creation so what is the way ? I found in SDN there are two MAGIC Function module CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE. Do I need to that alawys ?
    Is it nees to via IDoc and cannot be done just by calling from ABAP program ? The input parameter of the FM is a complex deep structure.
    Please help.

    Ashim,
    Try looking at the program:
    CRM_TEST_ORDER_MAINTAIN
    I think that should help you figure out the parameters.
    Good luck,

  • What's the best way to move around in a document?

    Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but what's the best way to move around in a zoomed in document?
    The only method I've found so far is to drag with two fingers, which keeps resizing the document as it moves around.
    No Hand Tool? No way to zoom to 100%? No way to Fill the Screen with the document?
    Let me know, thanks.

    Hi,
    Panning is being done with two fingers, i.e. you set two fingers down on the screen and then move them in the same direction.
    You can also zoom out by moving the fingers in the opposite direction as when you zoomed in.
    Thanks,

  • What is the best way to deploy/update custom security realm classes to WLS 6.0?

    From the WLS 6.0 console, I see that I can specify the Java class that
    implements my custom security realm but I am wondering what is the best way
    to deploy/update this code. I don't see a way to do this from the console.
    Does this mean that I have to manually copy the class files over that
    implement my custom security realm?

    Thanks Danut,
    A jar file seems to be a good way to package it up but it sounds like it
    still needs to be manually copied to each Weblogic server install directory
    post-installation and whenever it is updated. I thought it would be nice to
    be able to deploy/update the custom security realm by uploading it through
    the Console just as you can with web applications and EJBs.

    You have to have your Custom Realm class in the class path. I usually havea
    jar file with all the Custom Realm classes and that jar I copy it in thelib
    folder. Then I modify "startWebLogic.cmd" and I add to the classpath
    ".\lib\CustomRealm.jar"
    set
    CLASSPATH=.;.\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;.\lib\weblogic.jar;.\lib\CustomRealm.jar;
    >
    Be aware that in order to have you custom realm besides creating thecustom
    realm using the console you also have to create a custom caching andchoose
    that one as your default caching realm.
    Here is how the security settings are looking in my "config.xml"
    <CustomRealm Name="CustomRealm"
    RealmClassName="Custom.appserver.weblogic.security.CustomRealm"/>
    <CachingRealm BasicRealm="CustomRealm" CacheCaseSensitive="true"
    Name="CustomCachingRealm"/>
    <Realm CachingRealm="CustomCachingRealm" FileRealm="wl_default_file_realm"
    Name="wl_default_realm"/>

  • What is the best way to create Aperture book from Pages '09 document?

    What is the best way to create Aperture book from Pages '09 document?

    There is no way to import pages documents to Aperture and convert them to an Aperture book. Aperture books can only be created by manually adding images and text to the pages of a book, and using the layout of the predefined templates.
    The best you could do, would be to print your pages document to pdf and import the resulting pdf file into Aperture as a new project. This will create one image for each page. Then select the page images all at once and  create a new book. Select a theme with fullsize page images, like "picture Book", and then add the images of the pages to the empty pages of the book.
    But probably would you get a much better quality and layout, when you recreate your pages document in Aperture, by starting with an empty book and copying and pasting the text from your Pages document. But don't paste the photos from the document - try to use the originals of those photos.

  • Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents)  What is the best way to go about doing this.  Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

    iMac with 256ssd and 2t hdd. Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents)  What is the best way to go about doing this.  Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

    Yes, you can move your user directories to the HD and keep your OSX and Applications on the SSD drive.
    Whether you partition your HD or not depends on how much data you have and how you propose to use your HD.
    Are you planning to use your iMac as a Time Machine backup volume? If so, partition it off.
    Do you have huge data files, eg video, music, photos?
    How much of your 2tb drive will be "free" once it is loaded with all your data?
    A little more information is required before the optimal configuration can be recommended for your use.

  • What is the best way to sort an XML document in WLI 8.1?

    I have the schema for the XML and I want to sort the data. What is the best way to do this?

    I'm not sure if you want the result of the sorting to be a sorted XML document or a sorted object tree but anyway both XSLT and XQuery support sorting so you could use a Transformation control to execute an XQuery or XSLT transformation to sort the data. Another option (if you are not comfortable writing XQuery or XSLT) would be to use XmlBeans and programmatically sort the data. A word of warning though, these processes are quite memory intensive and if the XML document you are sorting is large (say over 10 MB) your server might run out of memory. In this case you might be better of just parsing the document with SAX and then sorting the result objects.

  • What is the best way to import word documents from a PC to the Ipad2

    What is the best way to import word documents from a PC to the Ipad 2?

    You first need an app on the iPad that supports word documents - the iPad doesn't have a file structure like a 'normal' computer, and every file/document needs to be associated with an app. If you don't have such an app then options include Apple's Pages app and third-party apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice HD. How you then get the documents on the iPad will depend upon the app that you have/get as different apps may use different methods e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

  • What's the best way to move files from my old G3 to my new Intel DuoCore?

    I just received my new Intel DuoCore 17" iMac. For years I have been using a much-loved G3 500 mHz iMac. The new Intel iMac is still in the box, but I believe it shipped with OS 10.4.4. The G3 runs 10.2.6. I have a dial-up connection to the Internet; currently DSL is not available in my neighborhood. What is the best way to move my files from the G3 to the Intel dc? Can I simply connect them with an Ethernet cable and transfer files directly? Or is my best bet to simply save the files I want to transfer to a disc and do it the old-fashioned way? Please forgive me in advance for my ignorance; although I have been a Mac user and supporter for many years, I am astonishingly ignorant when it comes to the best way to using both Mac hardward and software.
    iMac Intel DuoCore   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    There are two issues - 1. Getting the files moved over, and 2. Being able to open them on the Intel iMac.
    1. This can be technically easy if you are willing to spend the time. I moved all my stuff from my old Mac to my new one by hooking the two together with an ethernet cable, directly. You would need both machines to have appropriate IP addresses. (go to the network preferences and pull down the built-in ethernet panel.) Some addresses such as 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101 would work with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0) Now go to the new iMac and make sure the finder is selected (click on the desktop) and under the "GO" menu select "Connect to Server". You will need to put in the IP address of the old machine, and later it's administrative password. Then select its hard drive from the list (possibly only one choice) and it should appear as an icon on your iMac desktop. You can open this like any other drive and just drag items to the new iMac.
    2. Whether you can use all the files moved over from the old G3 is difficult to answer. You may be using Classic mode sometimes on the G3 and have some stuff created with a Classic application. You are probably aware that the new Intel iMac does not support Classic mode, so some of these files may not be useable without a bit of work (or at all, perhaps.) For instance I had to purchase Appleworks to handle some of my old Clarisworks documents because Pages couldn't understand them. Once I had them converted to Appleworks documents, I could then convert them again to Pages documents.
    I had some old MacDraw Pro documents that were equally problematic.
    I would advise you to get the new iMac out of the box and connected to your dialup internet connection first. Do all the software updates until running software updater says there is nothing new. Then you will be at 10.4.7 with all the latest security and fixes etc. Then disconnect from the internet and use an ethernet cable to get the stuff off the old computer.
    There will be lots more to do such as moving your mail, address box entries etc. later, but this is a start.
