Re: Tag documents with DocumentType field inside different sites
Hi johnjohn-Peter Question-1) most of the time i create a column with seperate naming on each site, examples for hr HRDocumentType. This makes it easier for you to keep the columns apart. But i think your case works also. Question-2) it doesn't matter, as long as it is clearer for the company. Best, Dave3Views0likes0CommentsRe: Best Way to Generate Durable Document ID Links

Hello SimoN74 what kind of list do you use? Have you more informations, best with PrintScreens. SharePoint modern don't have a gantt view and also not a SharePoint task list as template, but you can create a custom task list. You have a gantt view in Planner Premium. Best, Dave12Views1like0CommentsRe: Permissions / Folder Restriction
Hello BP2327 you can set folder permissions over Advanced settings: You can stop inheriting permissions and give individuals permission to this folder. But please attention: Is it a folder from a channel? Don't do that, a better way is to create a private channel and add the specific people as member from the private channel. I don't like to create "only SharePoint" folders on Teams connected SharePoint Site, you are competing two concepts, the one from Teams with Owners and Members and the other from SharePoint with individual permissions.

Hi johnjohn-Peter in most cases, it has far too many entries, including outdated ones. To provide users with only active, valid terms, we often create our own termset. Feel free to use the existing one. Best, dave14Views1like0Comments
