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'...
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.

Hi 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.
Hi Dean_Gross,
Indeed. Setting up a library for each macro 'bucket', makes total sense and was totally in the blindingly obvious category. Bliss has ensued. Well, until the next newbie, duh moment.
Thanks for responding!
