I have the responsibility to figure out the best way to store and manage our Policies and Procedures Manual for our company. Does anyone have any ideas of the easiest way to organize and manage this?
Right now, each section is a WORD doc and we have them listed in a document library.
A few issues are: some of the documents have embedded links to sections of the same document and also links to forms which are seperate documents. It is an administrative nightmare. Any time a form or doc changes, the links break.
any thoughts would be great!
Thanks,
Brian
Hi Brian
Did you manage to work this all out in the end ?
Or .. you could use the “Link to a Document” content type.

Do you know this would make a nice solution for anything …
Have a central list (somewhere) which has short Url and real Url. Then all you need to do is use the short url in all documentation and then you can use whatever real url you need.
Its semi relevant; however your solution needs to be more integrated. I am thinking.. A content type for a policy document, an event receiver against that content type and a column to hold the sticky reference that will automatically update the link (of the short url) to the latest document.
Thanks Qamar.
I saw your post regarding “StickyId”/Short Url. I’ll take a closer look at it and will let you know.
Thanks,
