Importance of Context (Or the OREO Cookie Conundrum)

Daniel Antion, Vice President Information Services at American Nuclear Insurers has  a great new blog post at AIIM on The Importance of Context. He starts with a cute anecdote:

SharePoint 2010 Document Sets

Summary

A Document set is a special folder in SharePoint that is used to group multiple documents. The Document set feature is available on Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 it is not available on Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010. Document sets are enabled by a site collection feature. After the feature is enabled, the user can add document set based content types to his library. A document set is treated as a single unit of work, which helps the user to keep track of associated documents throughout any given business process. The KnowledgeLake product suite integrates with document sets in a variety of ways. This blog post focuses on the features in KnowledgeLake Capture for SharePoint version 4.8.

ECM Features That Rock in SharePoint 2010: Document Sets

It’s been a busy week with both the AIIM show and RTM hitting MSDN.  I decided to stop working on any more posts until I got RTM running in case anything changed from my previous build.  Order is beginning to be restored though and I’ve started three different posts, which hopefully will all be done this week.  If you’d like to read my previous posts on the ECM Features That Rock in SharePoint 2010 you can find them here:
