Peter,
Sounds like you need a utility written to do this. The document still retains it's created date separately but the library doesn't reflect the document's one. Hopefully Microsoft will fix this with the records management accreditation they are getting for SharePoint soon..... You will probably need a custom utility written and the guys at MacroView have written some similar utilities for loading documents into a library in such a way as to set another date e.g. [RealCreatedDate] Regards, Tom Bizannes www.macroview.com.au SharePoint Consultant Sydney, Australia From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Milliner Sent: Tuesday, 11 September 2007 3:49 PM To: listserver@ozMOSS.com Subject: RE: [OzMOSS] created date (document library) Tom, Because we are moving to SharePoint from another system and using multiple uploads the creation date will be pretty much the same for all. The requirement set by our quality dept is for review of our policies/procedures every x amount of years - they want this to be staggered (to stop a barrage of review/approvals coming in at the same time)- which it will not be if I am setting the information management policy to creation date + x years - they will all come up for review at same time. I have created another field called original creation date and used this in policy to overcome this but it has to be set manually. I was just curious as if there was another way of doing this that is more automated. Our quality department would like the creation date to reflect the creation date of the original document not when it was uploaded to SharePoint. Cheers Peter From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Bizannes Sent: Tuesday, 11 September 2007 3:33 PM To: listserver@ozMOSS.com Subject: RE: [OzMOSS] created date (document library) Peter, Just wondering why the created date is so important. The archiving systems we deal with are interested in the last modified date as archiving normally goes from there. You would probably need to set another date on load called [RealLastModfied] and set a workflow to update this if the [Modified] date was greater than the [created] date to the modified date... Created could be dealt with in a similar way by loading this into another date field e.g. [RealCreatedDate] Regards, Tom Bizannes SharePoint consultant www.macroview.com.au Sydney, Australia From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Milliner Sent: Tuesday, 11 September 2007 3:06 PM To: listserver@ozmoss.com Subject: [OzMOSS] created date (document library) Hello all, Just a quick question on view item in the document library. At the bottom there is information including content type, version, created at etc... The created at [date] seems to be getting date from the created field which I believe is automatically set when document is added or uploaded. The problem I have is when uploading it sets date and time for created field to be the date I upload it (does not correspond to the document I am uploading creation date). I am using a auditing policy to review the documents after 2 years and have added a custom column called original creation date and set the policy to start workflow from this date. But I can see the potential for confusion for users with the created column and my custom column original creation date (manual input of data) especially when this is displayed on the "view item page" Is there a way to easily change the template for this form or change the created to respresent the real creation date of document Any help or advise is appreciated Peter Milliner Administrator Bendigo TAFE ------------------------------------------------------------------- OzMOSS.com - to unsubscribe from this list, send a message back to the list with 'unsubscribe' as the subject.
