Custom view for a folder
Greetings from sunny Vancouver Island.
In my documents library, I have a folder for resumes. I want to add a column that is "screened?" with yes/no, default no. All of that works fine. What I'd like, tho, is this to only be for just that folder and not all the other folders. This should be dead simple or blindingly obvious which, of course, means I can't find it.

Thanks!
Hi Rick Segal, other than creating a view to hide the columns you don't want this isn't possible as all folders in a document library share the same columns as the parent.

Los GallardosHi RobElliott,
Ok. I guess that kinda makes sense given it is a library. I suspect that means for those folders needing to have different columns, you'd just make (add) document libraries, rename em, and go to town with whatever customization you want.
Thanks for the reply.

- This is a very good example of a scenario in which creating another Library for Resumes would be a good solution. Whenever you have documents that need different metadata, another library is the way to go.
