Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get his sort of functionality?:
Basically a 'project' view of the world with a project doc and links to the
docs elsewhere it involves. Those links point to their 'systems
documentation' with a life beyond the many individual projects that include
them.
This boils down to two requirements:
1 Required: A link to a target doc (in a different library) that you can
'edit in word'
The OOTB link opens the target doc as required, but the name doesn't have
the java menu's edit word option, as a link isn't a document type... so I'm
thinking links might not be the best solution or at least a custom web part
to view them is required. That is not ideal as I need to keep many of the
standard doc lib features and I don't want to reinvent the wheel for all
those. Regardless, I'd also have to provide a pick list on the link form so
they can browse to the correct systems doc.
2 Preferable: Link reflects meta data on target doc
This is another 'canOworms' - I can certainly copy the fields that match
over via an event on the target doc lib, although it will require some
searching for all matching links. I don't think they should be moved back
the other way though. My gut feeling is I'd prefer the meta data to stay in
the one place with it's true owner, so again views or custom controls/web
parts with the same issues as 1.
I'm really not sure of the best approach - here's an idea of the structure
- and yes they are wedded to separate libraries and folder structures at
the moment:
Project Lib
Business Unit Z
Project A
Project Scope.doc
Link to ScreenA
Link to ScreenB
Link to ProcessA
System Docs Lib
System Name
ProcessA.doc
Jurisdiction 1
ScreenA.doc
Jurisdiction 2
ScreenB.doc
Kind regards, Mike.
