Applying Content Types to Lists and Libraries

Applying Content Types to Lists and Libraries

You can map items in lists to the newly applied content types (or map new items in a list to an existing content type).

This option can be useful when migrating a list and applying a new content type to that list and its items. Another example would be if items are being copied from the source site to a different existing list on the target, and a different content type needs to be applied to those items.

When the Apply new content types during copy option is selected and the [...] button is clicked from the List Content Options tab, one of the following dialogs displays:

· Apply Content Types to Lists (if migrating a site)

Applying New Document Sets to Libraries, Folders, and Documents

Applying New Document Sets to Libraries, Folders, and Documents

Metalogix Content Matrix can apply Document Sets to libraries, folders, or documents as a part of a migration. Document Sets can be applied when migrating to SharePoint 2013 and later (including Office 365) environments, and can be configured at the time of migration. This feature allows for any SharePoint folders, or document libraries to be migrated as a SharePoint Document Set. Please see Microsoft's Document Sets planning page for more basic details on document sets.

NOTE:  If you want to apply an existing Document Set to a list, library, or folder, initiate a list-level migration and paste the object to a Document Set on the target.

When you check the Apply new document sets during copy check box and click the [...] button from the List Content Options dialog, the Apply Document Sets dialog displays.

Managed Metadata Options

Navigation:  Configuring Copying Options >

Managed Metadata Options

Before configuring Managed Metadata options, it is strongly recommended that you review the Managed Metadata Migration section for allowable connection types, permissions, and prerequisites.

Managed Metadata Options

NOTE:  You can also import Managed Metadata taxonomy mappings.

To configure Managed Metadata options:

1.If you want Metalogix Content Matrix to check both the source and target environments to find any existing Managed Metadata term structure and then migrate a copy of the source term structure over to the target, make sure the Resolve managed metadata by name and hierarchy box is checked.

NOTE:  If there are terms that do not exist, they will be added (using the same hierarchy structure with new GUIDs), and if there are terms that already exist the terms on the target will be used.  If you want terms on the target to be overwritten with those on the source, make sure Map term stores for migration is selected, as described in the next step.

2.If you want to map the term store on the source to a term store on the target:  

NOTE: Migrating Managed Metadata at the site level will only copy the global Managed Metadata, and will not copy any site collection term sets. Site collection term sets are only copied when the Copy referenced managed metadata and Map term stores for migration options are enabled as part of a SharePoint site or list level migration.

a)Check the Map term stores for migration box, then click the [...] button.

The Map Term Store dialog displays with a list of all term stores that currently exist on the target.

Map Term Stores Dialog

NOTES:  

·This option is primary used in the following situations:

§When migrating the entire term store (the global term store).

§When migrating term stores by their ID value

§When migrating at the site collection level that uses more than one Term Store, to ensure that the correct Term Store is used.

·This option is required when migrating to an Office 365 Tenant target environment. In such a migration, this option is enabled by default and cannot be deselected.

·If the Resolve managed metadata by name and hierarchy option is selected, this option would only be selected if you want to map and overwrite the values the target.

b)Right click the Source Term Store you want to map, and select the Target Term Store you want to Map to.

NOTE: If the Target Term Store is set to <Exclude> (the default value), the term store will not be mapped. A 1:1 Relationship must exist between Source/Target term store mappings

3.When you are finished mapping term stores, click [OK].

4.If you want to migrate Managed Metadata columns for items and lists, check the Copy referenced managed metadata box.

NOTE:  This option will not actually create Term Stores. It is recommended that this option be used in conjunction with the Resolve managed metadata by name and hierarchy and/or Map term stores for migration.

5.If you want SharePoint site columns (fields) to be transformed into Managed Metadata fields on the target:

a)Check the Transform specified site columns to managed metadata columns box.

b)Click the […] button.

c)Complete the Configure Transformations for a Site Column dialog as described in the topic Transforming a Site or List Column into a Managed Metadata Columns.

6.If you want SharePoint list columns (fields) to be transformed into Managed Metadata fields on the target:

a)Check the Transform specified list columns to managed metadata columns box.

b)Click the […] button.

c)Complete the Configure Transformations for a List Column dialog as described in the topic Transforming a Site or List Column into a Managed Metadata Columns.

7.If the SharePoint Enterprise Metadata and Keywords Settings option is enabled on the source and you do not want to migrate the Keyword term set or the Enterprise Keyword columns in lists/libraries, check the Skip Keyword term set migration box.

NOTE: The 'Skipping Keywords term set migration' and 'Skipping Enterprise Keywords column’ events will only display in the Job Log if the Copy referenced managed metadata box is also checked.

NOTE:  By default, Metalogix Content Matrix migrates terms in batches of 50.  You can, however, change this value (for example, decrease it if you are experiencing timeout errors during the migration operation or increase it if you are migrating an excessively large number of terms or keywords).  However, It is recommended that you not  change the batch size unless absolutely necessary.  See Changing the Managed Metadata Migration Batch Size.
