Create A Document Set In SharePoint 2013 Using JSOM

In this blog, you will learn how to create a Document Set in SharePoint 2013, using JSOM.

Introduction

In this blog, I would like to explain how to create Document Set In Document Library, using JSOM. A Document Set is a group of related documents, which can be created in one step and then managed as a single entity.

Source Code

$(document).ready(function() {
    createDocumentSet();

});

functioncreateDocumentSet() {

    varclientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
    oWeb = clientContext.get_web();
    varoList = oWeb.get_lists().getByTitle("TestLibrary");

    clientContext.load(oList);

    varLibraryFolder = oList.get_rootFolder();
    clientContext.load(LibraryFolder);

    vardocumentSetContentTypeID = "0x0120D520";

    vardocumentSetContentType = clientContext.get_site().get_rootWeb().get_contentTypes().getById(documentSetContentTypeID);

    clientContext.load(documentSetContentType);

    clientContext.executeQueryAsync(QuerySuccess, QueryFailure);
}

functionQuerySuccess() {

    vardocumentSetName = "DocumentSetName";
    SP.DocumentSet.DocumentSet.create(clientContext, oLibraryFolder, documentSetName, documentSetContentType.get_id());
    clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Success, Failure);
}

functionQueryFailure() {
    console.log('Request failed - ' + args.get_message());
}

function Success() {
    console.log('DocumentSet Created Successfully.');
}

function Failure(sender, args) {
    console.log('Request failed - ' + args.get_message());
}

Activate Document Set Feature

We need to activate it before you can create or configure new Document Set content types. 

• Go to the top-level site in the site collection for which you want to enable Document Sets.
• Site Actions menu--> click Site Settings.
• Site Collection Administration- Site collection features.
• Find Document Sets in the list and click Activate.

Add Document Set as a Content Type to your Document Library,

• Go to Document Settings and change the Advanced Settings to Allow management of content types.
  
  
  
  
• Go to the Settings- add from existing site content types and find the Document Set content type. Select Document Set and click Add.
  
  
  
• Go to your Document library and select New Document -> Document Set from the drop-down list,
  
  
  

Here, we will see how to create a Document Set programatically, using Jsom.
