Creating Folders
There are two types of folders for document storage: Standard and Enhanced. The following table shows each folder type and its functionality.
| Folder type | Functionality |
|---|---|
| Standard or Enhanced | Roles
Document profiles Document publishing Indexed documents Categories |
| Enhanced | Private draft versions
Check-in and check-out Document version history Document publishing and approval |
Enhanced folders require users to check out documents for editing and to publish the documents to make them visible to readers.
All SharePoint Portal Server documents are stored in a set of hierarchical folders that operate similarly to file system directories. In addition, some folders, such as the workspace schema folder, contain items, such as property definitions, document profiles, and dictionaries.
The following steps show the major tasks for creating a folder. To see the full procedure for creating a folder, see Document Management Object Model Sample.
- Instantiate a KnowledgeFolder object.
- Set the ContentClass property to cdostrURI_CC_SmartFolder for an enhanced folder or cdostrURI_CC_KnowledgeFolder for a standard folder.
- Set the properties.
- Invoke the DataSource.SaveTo method.
