Feature Request: Column for Number of Contained Documents in a Folder

Workflow Ideas
Updated January 16, 2015
posted on September 28, 2014

I am in the middle of building a Case Management system, and in this case I have an area where Managers can easily click to see a list of all of the outstanding work items for a particular document are contained in various doc type folders. Example folder structure:

 

--Member Services

----Overview of Work Items by Doc Type

------New Member Applications

------Beneficiary Updates

------Retirement Packets

 

My workflow routes shortcuts to outstanding documents that need working, within each of the document type folders listed above (and many more). Columns within those folders will be set up such that a user sees useful metadata about each "Work Item." However, it would also be nice, if you are in the "Overview of Work Items by Doc Type" folder, if there were a column that would proactively tell you exactly how many work items are in each of the subfolders. This let's a manager quickly see where bottlenecks are occurring for various Work Item / Document Types.

Hi Gareth,

 

Did you manage to find anything more about this? I'm also keen for this feature.

The only way I've thought about setting this up is by attaching a field to the sub folders for  [Document Count], so that whenever shortcuts are created and deleted it runs a Workflow to search for any shortcuts and updates this field. Setting the column view up to show this [Document Count] field. 

 

It's probably not very performance-friendly but it could work :)

 

I too would love for this feature to be added as a default though !

 

Many thanks,

Dom
