I leave it totally open ended… Whether you’ve used them or know something cool about them… fire away!!!!(I though it would be interesting to start something like this, especially to help beginner learn and more advanced users to recap on some of the wonderful features of SharePoint that would otherwise not get the attention).
Do you know what – in all the time on that project, I never once thought to ask why it was called a Transmittal – I just figured they made it up!
To answer my own question – all the documents in document set are in the one library – a document set is really a fancy folder, so itself sits in a document library.
Can’t seem to find an obvious way to move an existing item into a document set using the GUI – unless its so utterly obvious I’m overlooking it?
They are a great to use to implement Transmittals. A transmittal is the controlled distribution of formal documents to engineers, sub-contractors, vendors, fabricators, government bodies and other parties in the form of a cover page identifying the information that is included in the contractual documents being delivered.
I once had to essentially build the document set features for Moss 2007 for a project for London Underground.
If document sets had been available it would have saved us some time 🙂
Do all of the documents in a document set have to be stored in the same library? Or can a set span multiple libraries?
