to get effective use of drop off library I would like to have drop down menu for choosing properties.
how do I do get values to choose from for Title?
Per,
You are correct. Â Title is a field that you are discouraged from modifying as part of the basic content type so adding drop downs for that not feasible without changing that default field. Â
My recommendation is that you
- create a new content type based on document
- add a new title field (but it can’t be called Name or Title as those are reserved in SP)
- make that your drop down field and
- remove the title field from being required and from showing on the default formÂ
The easiest thing to do however would be to again allow them to type in whatever title of the document they have and select another field called category, type, or something that contained your drop down. That way you don’t mess with the default content type. Â Title still has a relevant meaning to the user, and you still enforce a naming standard on that content type which helps with using the organizer.
Eric,
as far as I can see there is no way to get drop down in Content Organizer Rules
I would like to put a drop down with Value for property Title  
Per,
Go to your library and add a field with the drop down value you want displayed. Then go back to your content organizer and define the rules based on the choices you put in that field. That should give you what you are looking for. You can define a rule that checks the title for key words such as “test” or “math” or whatever and use the rules that way, but a drop down field is easier to setup and use.
Let me know if that helps.
Eric
