Question about Displaying Documents and the CQWP in MOSS 2007
- by Psycho Bob
My organization is in the process of converting our intranet over to a SharePoint solution. Part of this intranet will be the movement and organization of all our internal documents. Currently, we have 11 pages of document links, each with its own subheadings.
So far I have it set where each document has a custom field called "Page" with a check box list of all the document pages on the intranet site. On each individual page, I have setup a Content Query Web Part that displays the documents that have the corresponding Page value set (i.e. if a document Page value has been checked for "HR" it will appear on the HR page). The goal of this setup is to allow the nontechnical personal who will be responsible for the maintenance of the documents to be able to upload new documents to the documents list and note on which pages they should appear on without having to manually update the pages themselves.
The problem that I am having is that I cannot seem to find a good way to sort the documents into their subheadings once they are on the appropriate page. I could create individual check boxes for each page/subheading combination, but this would create a list of approximately 50-75 items. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could accomplish this, either via CQWP or by different means?
Goals/Requirements of Installation
Allow Intranet documents to be maintained by nontechnical personnel
Display documents on the appropriate pages without user having to edit actual page or web part
Denote document page location using user settable document attributes (if possible)
Maintain current intranet organization and workflow
Use only one document list without subdirectories
NOTE: I am aware that this is not the most efficient or elegant way to do things, but these are the requirements I have been given for the project.
