Hi Heiko,

 

The main ways of resolving these issues would be:

1. use SharePoint search to present the documents to users

2. split the documents across more folders/document sets/libraries/sites etc.

3. clean up. Are there any documents that can be moved into record centers, or maybe even can documents be deleted?

    Hi Pieter Veenstra,

     

    thank you for your Tipps:

     

    1. We use search to find the CRM Folder I need.
    2. This is what we plan to do with our new concept. The question in the moment is to split it in several Folders or in Library. I think the sync / offline Feature is here decisive.
    3. We plan to archive old opportunity – but when an opportunity goes to an order then we can’t archive the folder (but we can move it to another location)
