New Features Requests

When viewing content in a document library and selecting a filter to choose which fields are to be migrated, I think it would also be helpful to have an option to choose a number or records or a range of records. While I do think the filter is handy, it would be just as handy to have this option which could split the migration in fixed-size chunks (eg. Record Range: 1 - 1000; 1001 - 2000; 2001 - 3000, etc).

It will be good to have an option to concatenate/combine values from different columns into a single column.

For example I am currently migrating documents from SP2003 to SP2010. The documents in the source libraries are in folders and I am getting rid of the folder structure in 2010 site. I can currently transfer the name of the different level of folders of the source library into a column in the target library. However if I had 4 folder levels of folders in the source I have to create 4 columns in the target for each folder level.

It would be great to have a work line up options so that migrations can be done in batches. For example, I prepare a set of documents for migration but instead of clicking on “Finish” I have an option like “Add to the Queue”. I can then prepare another set of documents and then add the job to the queue. When I finish the preparation I can then start all the migrations in a batch.

Just started looking into this and didn't find much beyond a coded solution...

I have a user who in the space of 6 months created a single library with 99+ folders and 740+ files with versioning turned on (many objects have 7 versions, some have up to 13 versions!). I want to clean up the versions and can do this in the web interface. I have not discovered if your product can help with this yet, but it sounds like this aligns with the direction you may be going with some of your cleanup features.

It would be really cool to create new content types or relink current.

The canvas for adding content is really large. When adding a large custom project, I get lost in the SharePoint content (lists, content types, etc). It would be great if you could hide the SharePoint content and show the custom content types and lists added by the user (that's me in this case...).

I didn't found out how to create custom groups for Content Types and Site Columns. We usually create new groups (project name/customer name) for Content Types and Site Columns. I saw a Type Group property, but was not able to change it. Is it possible to make this property read/write.

I also think that this is a best practice: create custom groups for Content Types and Site Columns. So you leave the default SharePoint groups alone and don't touch them. All custom content added by you or your team is more reconizable.

When creating a feature and adding site column definitions you have the ability to set XML attributes to show/hide fields in the different SharePoint forms. The properties are (all booleans):
- ShowInNewForm
- ShowInEditForm
- ShowInDisplayForm
- ShowInListSettings

Hi Metavis,

Your product looks really promising! I have been playing with it on a standard Wss3 site. I can create a new field in a content type by selecting the appropriate column type from the attribute section of the palette. This pallete looks like a fixed pallete. What happens if I'm working with a publishing site, are the publishing types available? And what happend if I have custom field types in my SharePoint envirnment, are those supported?
