Let's say you modify Base Document Profile slightly to contain the
following:
- Title (required)
- Author
- Description
- Categories
- keywords
And for 99% of your documents, the above list takes care of your metadata
needs, mainly due to the flexibility of categories.
However, let's also say you have 10 different types of documents: proposals,
process documentation, network diagrams, [fill in list here]. The above
list still satisfies the metadata of each of the types of documents.
The question is:
- Do you make a Document Profile for each Document Type?
- Do you add a dropdown on the Base Document Profile to include "type" and
just assign the property.
Seeing as how you can search by document profile seemingly just as easily as
searching for properties, is there an advantage to one over the other? What
do you do in your organization?
