    Document Types

    We have XLS documents in SharePoint. They go through a series of changes (all stored in version history) and finally culminate in a CSV being generated. Once we create the CSV, SharePoint saves it as a separate document. In doing that, we have all the version history with our XLS and then the...

    Mandatory Fields

    I have a user who wants to make the comments field mandatory so that you are forced to enter something when you check in a document. Is there a way to do that?

    Workflow

    In working with SharePoint, I believe the workflow is not as sophisticated as our users need. We are considering purchasing a third party package to handle the workflow. We also have a tight timeframe for getting this implemented. So, I'm looking for something that can be implemented cleanly...

    Capacity

    I've read that SharePoint performs best if there are under 1000 documents per folder or document library. Is this what people have experienced? How much can I push it?

    Version History

    I've got a document in one library that I want to move to another library. I want to keep all the version history with it, but SharePoint doesn't seem to do that when I move it. Is there a way to do it?

    Series of Approvals

    It seems that in SharePoint, I can set up a library so that someone needs to approve whatever gets submitted to that library. But, it seems like it's just a 1-level process and I can't get multiple levels of approvals (approval routing in a series). My users want multiple levels. Can I do...

    Task Notification

    If someone is assigned a task that is due on a certain day and they don't get it done on time, can a reminder email be sent to them automatically?

    Approvals

    It might just be me trying the push the limits (or use it improperly!). Here's the scenario..... Contributor A creates a spreadsheet and posts it to the spreadsheet library. Administrator B sees there is a new spreadsheet in the spreadsheet library (which needs approval) and approves it. The...

    Approvals

    I can set up a document library so that an administrator needs to approve anything that's posted there. However, that only seems to work if a contributor does the posting. Is there a way to set it up so that even if an administrator does the posting, it will still go through the approval process?

    Bad User Experience

    We were able to figure it out, so for the record.... We changed the Internet options for temporary Internet files to check for newer versions of stored pages "automatically".

    Bad User Experience

    I signed in as a Contributor and edited some content in a document. After finishing it, it disappeared from my list. This made sense because I had it set up as needing approval. I went to another machine as Administrator and approved it. I went to another machine as Reader and now saw the...

    Setting up SharePoint

    Company has 1 portal for everyone. I'm designing the use of SharePoint for 1 department. Department has 5 divisions. Each division has templates and documents. Templates can only be changed by a couple of people in that division. After being changed, the template gets approved by change...
