I am looking to build a Knowledge Base System in SharePoint 2010 where IT users may upload documents to the system tagging these docs with Metadata from the enterprise store. the problem is i would like to be able to have users post comments and questions about the doc kind of like the functionality of a blog post/comment. is there any ideas on how to accomplish this or will i need to pull out VS to do so
You could turn on Ratings for the library – so users could provide a ‘star’ rating for each doc – you could also add a comments column to the library – if you use the multi-line ‘comments’ column (rather than the single line one), you can set it to ‘append’ comments, for each doc.
It would be pretty basic, and you would have permissions issues – in terms of the users needing contribute permission in order to comment – unless you implement some column-level permissions, which you would need VS or a 3rd party add-in to do.
