Folders: can we ban them from SharePoint deployments?
By Susan Hanley on Thu, 10/25/07 - 9:26pm.Well, we probably shouldn’t totally ban folders, but we definitely want to make it harder to use them! I had two completely separate conversations this week on the topic of how to help SharePoint users understand the paradigm shift from folders to metadata. It’s definitely a change in the way you think about organizing your critical documents. I developed a brief tutorial called “Breaking the Folder Paradigm – how to get more value from your SharePoint document libraries.” Check it out at http://www.susanhanley.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/breakingthefolderparadigm.pdf and let me know what you think.
