If you want to create a Document Library list which accepts different metadata for different category of documents, which of the following is the best approach to follow?

    1. Create different Lists to different Audience with the required metadata as columns
    1. Create a Single list and attach multiple content types
    1. Create Site Columns with access privileges to the audience and add them to the List
    1. This is not possible with MOSS

Correct Option: B

AI Explanation

To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) Create different Lists for different Audience with the required metadata as columns - This option is incorrect because creating multiple lists can result in duplication of effort and can make it difficult to manage and maintain the different lists.

Option B) Create a Single list and attach multiple content types - This option is correct because it allows you to create a single list and define different content types for different categories of documents. Each content type can have its own set of metadata columns, allowing you to capture different metadata for different categories of documents within the same list.

Option C) Create Site Columns with access privileges to the audience and add them to the List - This option is incorrect because creating site columns with access privileges does not necessarily address the requirement of capturing different metadata for different categories of documents. Site columns can be shared across multiple lists and libraries, but they do not provide a way to define different metadata for different categories of documents within a single list.

Option D) This is not possible with MOSS - This option is incorrect because it is possible to achieve the requirement of capturing different metadata for different categories of documents with MOSS (Microsoft Office SharePoint Server).

The correct answer is Option B. This option is correct because it allows you to create a single list and attach multiple content types, enabling you to capture different metadata for different categories of documents within the same list.
