Document set in sharepoint 2010


Normally banks will maintain customer’s information. They will provide customers basic info, internet banking, mobile banking, debit card facilities to their customers, they maintain separate documents for each.
We will use the same feature using Document set in SharePoint 2010.
How to enable Document Sets?

Document sets by default won't be enabled in SharePoint 2010. It's a feature and has to be enabled manualy. Then document sets Content type has to be customized (if required). After that it can be attached to Document libraries. First keep all project document templates (BasicInformation document, PhoneBanking document, InternetBanking Document, Debitcard Document) ready.
Create these documents in my documents folder.
 
Login to SharePoint 2010 site -> Site settings -> Site Administration -> Site Collection Features ->

Document Sets -> Activate.

Site Settings -> Galleries -> Site Content types -> Document Set Content Types -> Document Set.

Select Document Set Settings.

Under Default Content section select the templates. Click "Add new default content" to select and upload more template documents.

Now upload the documents that u created earlier as shown below


Now we'll create new document library. If you want to attach to existing document library then skip this step.

Open the document library -> Library (Tab) -> Library Settings.

Under General Settings select Advanced Settings. We need to enable allow management of content types setting.

Under Content types Select Yes for "Allow management of content types?" and save/Click Ok.

Now in the library settings page Content types section will be shown. Select "Add from existing site content types".

Under "Select Content types" section select "Document Set" and Add. Now click Ok.

 







Repeat the same steps and add another

  2. Hi,
    I am facing problem in moving document set library (more than 7000 docs) to another environment (sharepoint version is same at both the ends is 2010). I can not save as template because of big size, export import is not working as only 4000 files are importing and document set structure changed to folder.

    I have no luck/approch accept manually create files, download, upload. Could you please help me if you have encounter such issue.

    1. It's very strange that the export and import is not working.

      I would suggest you to try once again (export and Import) by means of Powershell:

      here are the references: (You need to refer the sections backup list and libraries)
      Backup : http://sharepointknowledgebase.blogspot.in/2012/06/backup-restore-in-sharepoint-2010.html

      Restore: http://sharepointknowledgebase.blogspot.in/2012/06/sharepoint-2010-backuprestore-with.html

      It has to work as i faced the same problem and i used the same references mentioned above and worked like a charm.

      Note: source list name should not be there on the destination.

      let me know in case of any queries/questions, thank you

  3. Hi Amol,

    Thanks for your reply. I tried using powershell, but while importing the document set strcture change to folders and 40% files are missing. I tried in same site as well even then it is not working. I tried with a small size doc library for testing porpose using saving as template and restore it work fine but in my case it does not work. Is there any programmatic way to save list as template on desktop rather than list template libray because my libray is more than 4 GB size.
