Document management and version control are key features. Understanding that everything in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is a list, including document libraries, means everything entered into that list becomes a table. This enables the creation of relational lists. When I see folders in a document library in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, I find it concerning because it indicates basic web-based file share usage. Organizations often replace Box or Google Drive but continue the same limited usage pattern. This approach misses opportunities for creating libraries with specific functionalities, including automation, meta tags, and document generation. I frequently demonstrate these capabilities to others. While people express interest in learning, they often lack the time to master these features. I have implemented connected lists where metadata is utilized effectively. For example, in time and expense tracking, people typically use Excel spreadsheets for time, expense, and status reports in Word documents. These documents share common elements such as week end dates, names, and amounts in hours or dollars.
