I am owner of a sharepoint 7 document library consisting of one folder
per company employee. In each employee's folder, the employee's
resume, job description, and other documents reside. Only the employee
can edit them.
I want to display contact info on each employee, in columns, next to
the folders. (call it 'folder metadata'.)
But I can't figure out how to get folder metadata into those columns.
When I choose Actions\Edit in Datasheet, all the column cells are
locked as read only. There's no way to enter any folder metadata.
Whereas, if I open any folder and view the documents inside it, the
columns become editable.
What am i missing? How do I set up columns that can contain folder
metadata?
