The
Metadata Navigation and Filtering Feature in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010
can help users filter and find content. Metadata Navigation and Filtering is a
new feature in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 that enables users to filter and
find content by using metadata. Metadata navigation builds upon the SharePoint
Tree view hierarchy control and combines it with a new Key Filters control
providing users a powerful tool in finding content based on metadata.
Navigation hierarchies: Use
and expand the capabilities of list views to navigate hierarchies of folders,
content types, choice fields, or managed metadata term sets. This allows users
to use list views to filter on a metadata hierarchy just like navigating
folders.
Key
Filters: This
control appears below the site hierarchy control and can consist of several
fields such as date, choice, content type, single and multi-value fields,
currency, yes / no, and user fields. Any number of key filters can be applied in
combination with a selected navigation hierarchy.
To
configure Navigation hierarchies and Key Filters a custom powershell cmdlet Add-SPMetadataNavigationSettings
can be used.
