Document-Directory

[J?rgen Holly]

Hi!

We have .DOC, .XLS, .PDF files saved on a networkdrive in a deep
directorystructure.

As member in an project, i have to dig down all project-directories
and look for a new file, which is to my interest.

I am looking for a tool (intranet/html-thing) where an author enters
an abstract an a link to the file.

A project-member looks on the intranet-site where, sorted by day and
category, where he can scan the abstracts and find fast the relevant
documents.

Does anybody know such tool?

Thanx, Jürgen

You have an option to "classify" documents under the file system. Your
document authors need to record the metadata (Category and Comments) in the
File | Properties dialog of each document.

Once this is done, you can enable the Windows Indexing Service to build a
catalog of files in the folder structure.

The Explorer or Indexing Service "Query the Catalog" search option Advanced
Query can then be used to query the catalog by document property. For
instance, you could query for all documents with comments containing the
words "My Comments" by specifying the query @DocComments "My Comments" in
the query dialog.

This is also available on my Windows 2000 PC by default - click the Search
button in a Windows Explorer view and click the Indexing Service option.
You can create a sample catalog and review the Help for Indexing Service
from the resulting dialog.
