| Content organizer is a SharePoint feature, which only comes with the pay versions of SharePoint that provides document routing from a drop-off library.

Once the drop-off library is created, you can define rules that route documents placed in the drop-off library to their final destination

|
| Module 7: Document ID Service |
| SharePoint’s Document ID service, available with the pay versions of SharePoint, creates unique IDs for documents that are prefixed with text the Site Collection Administrator defines. What’s more is that the ID assigned to the document creates a fixed URL that can be used to link to the document even if it is moved to another library or site. The Document ID service can only be used on documents and cannot be used on list items. The Document ID service is enabled at the Site Collection level by activating a feature. Once the service is activated the Site Collection Administrator can define the prefix string to be used. SharePoint uses a Timer Job, Document ID assignment job, to set the IDs on existing documents once the Document ID Service has been activated. The Timer Job runs every 24 hours by default so existing documents will not have the IDs until the job has run. A Farm administrator can manually run the job to have the IDs created sooner. New documents will have IDs created when the document is saved to the library.
Lessons: |
- Activating the Document ID Feature
- Configuring Document ID Settings
- Linking Document ID Settings

| Module 8: Document Sets |
| SharePoint’s Documents Sets are like enhanced versions of folders. As with folders, you primarily use them to group similar documents together. They are enhanced with the ability to have their own metadata, workflows, and home page. To use Document Sets, the feature must be active at the Site Collection level. Once activated, there will be a new Document Set content type in the Site Collection’s Content type gallery. To best take advantage of the enhancements offered by Document Sets, you should create custom content types that inherit from the Document Set content type.
