This is on a WSS 3.0 SP2 site. Default.aspx has few webparts that are bound to various document libraries. EAch webpart is bound to one document library. The webpart is out-of-box. Issues we are facing, 1) Any click on a folder or sub-folder reloads the page but in the context, the focus is set to the beginning of the page. Since default.aspx has various webparts, it becomes difficult for the user to go back to the actual webpart after he/she clicks on the folder,sub-folder. Please suggest any best options. I am thinking of modifying the webpart or write some code as well. Suggest please 2) Moving of files within document library or folders -> The files within a document library keep moving from one library or folder to another based on various conditions. What are the best ways to move the files? Currently we delete from one location and physically upload. Since there are many files, it is a tedious activity. Also suggest any other tips on the above. If there are any known good webparts, please let me know. thanks

I am thinking of modifying the webpart or write some code as well. Suggest please This is an OOB behavior for the list view web parts, there is no way in which you can traverse to the folder one level above, once you have clicked it. For traversing i suggest you educate users to click on the name of the web parts itself so that they get redirected to the document library where they can traverse. 2) Moving of files within document library or folders -> The files within a document library keep moving from one library or folder to another based on various conditions. What are the best ways to move the files? Currently we delete from one location and physically upload. Since there are many files, it is a tedious activity. When you say it keeps on moving; do you mean it moves automatically? If the answer to the above question is no, then i would recommend you to write a SharePoint Desiger workflow that routes the documents based on the conditions defined by the business.

> Issues we are facing, In future please only ever post ONE question per thread. More and we could easily have a situation where one has been answered and the second not. So instead of the thread for the first one being closed, people will still be reading both questions rather than (as they would with two threads) concetrating on the question that hasn't been solved. Please also note that this is not a general question (they tend to be pre-sales type questions) but a specific problem (or in the this case specific problemS) and as such - in this case - belongs in the Admin forum. Moderator P.S. A question about which web parts are available (your 3rd question!) would be a general question. This inidcates another reason for avoiding posting more than one question - the different questions often then fit in different forums. Here the answers given in the first reply are 1) Admin forum (OOB functionality) 2) Workflow forum. SP 2010 "FAQ" (mainly useful links): http://wssv4faq.mindsharp.com/default.aspx WSS3/MOSS FAQ (FAQ and Links) http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com/default.aspx Both also have links to extensive book lists and to (free) on-line chapters

Thanks Mike for the suggestions. I will restrict the question on this thread to be as below. I would like to show the documents (from document library that has folders, sub-folders) such that users don't feel loosing focus of what action they did. Basically I would like to show the documents with a tree-view or a filtered dropdown approach. Please suggest on the above or any other better suggestions.

Create a custom web part to show your doc lib in a tree structure. Make use of the Tree View control. To move files, you can create a context menu option to move document to new location.Regards, Mahesh

thanks Mahesh. Are there any examples or solutions to achieve the above?

Basically I would like to show the documents with a tree-view or a filtered dropdown approach. Please suggest on the above or any other better suggestions. I would suggest you to "Enable Tree View" for this you would have to go to "Site Actions" -> Site Settings -> "Look and Feel" -> Tree View. Once you click on the link TreeView. Check the checkbox that says "Enable TreeView". Once you do that, what you will get is a Tree View Control on your left navigation that allow the user to not only go to the document library but it also allows the user to expand or collapse any of the hierarchy allowing the user to traverse across all the folders and to browse to the items when they click on the any folder. Hope this makes sense. All of the above is OOB, so you avoid custom development time and efforts. Thanks, Mayur Joshi Moderator Note: NEVER propose your own posts as answers. Use the function only for proposing the good answers of other people.

The treeview option you suggested didn't work plus the changes affects whole site.

As for your question 2 - moving files within document library or folders - I developed a CodePlex project called SPDragDrop just for this purpose. I suggest you try it and let me know in case you have questions on its usage. Using SPDragDrop for SharePoint, you can move files between folders, sub-folders, libraries in bulk. zieglersMCTS,MCPD,MCITP,MCT http://zieglers.wordpress.com/

This is a "feature" of the List Web Part. I don't understand why Microsoft didn't include an "Up" button, it appears so many other places. Anyway, I have a solution that is very effective when you have documents that can be grouped into categories and even subcategories: From the "All Site Content" page, click your Document Library. From your Document Library page, add a choice field for your top-level category: Click Settings|Document Library Settings from the toolbar. From the Customize page, click Create column. From the Create Column page, enter the name "Category", select Choice, and enter your choices of categories (Example: "HR", "Finance", "IT", "Wet Work", etc.). Select a default choice, make it a required field, and click OK. From the Customize page, click Create view. From the Create View page, click one of your existing views, example: All Documents. From the Create View: Documents page, enter a view name (example: "Group By"), and select the fields to display. Do NOT include "Category". Choose sort and filter as desired. Expand the "Group By" section and select "Category" as the first group. If you expect to have less than ~50 documents, you can choose Expanded by default; otherwise select Collapsed. This means the user will have to expand a category to see the documents. Click OK. From your default.aspx page, edit your web part, choose "By Group" as the view, and click OK. You will see all of your documents are in the "Unnamed" category, assign a category to each one. You can use Spreadsheet view to do this quickly. Once you have a category for every document, you will see them neatly grouped into categories on the default.aspx page. The user does not have to drill down into folders, and always sees all the available categories. You can add a second field, "Subcategory", to have two levels of grouping, if you like. Christopher W.
