Sharepoint Subcategories
dchatman- Subcategory is not a folder, it is just a column with a dropdown choices and users select a subcategory dropdown value when uploading the document not before that from the view. So in order for subcategory "January 2020" to show up, you upload a document and when filling in the subcategory property for that document you select "January 2020", it should show up after that.
If this is a pretty standard document library, that's where you want to do the change - not in the site settings. Go to your 'Official Documents and LIcenses' library, and then use the gear icon to go to library settings. There is where you'll find your Category and Subcategory fields - add your new ones to the definition of the field.
I guess I may have been in the correct place. In the screenshot, I put that "January 2020" in the Subcategory field about a week ago but it would never show after checking-in and approving the page. Is there another step i'm missing?
Thank you for your reply.
- Do you mean Uploaded the document, filled in the properties in this case subcategory and checked it in and you have content approval ?
- No documents were uploaded. I just need "Subcategory January 2020" to show so that a user can upload documents to it. Sorry again if my post is confusing.
