Defining Custom Properties to Apply to SharePoint Sites

For SharePoint Server farms that are subscribed to the Managed Metadata Service Application, ControlPoint Application Administrators can use Managed Metadata to define "Custom Properties" which can be applied to SharePoint sites via the ControlPoint Set Site Properties action.  Unlike SharePoint, which allows Managed Metadata to be applied only to a list column, ControlPoint allows you to" tag" a site with Managed Metadata, for use as parameters in ControlPoint Advanced Searches.

NOTE:  For Custom Properties to be definable, the Web application that hosts ControlPoint Configuration Site Collection must be associated with the relevant Managed Metadata Service Application(s).

To define Custom Properties:

1Open the Settings page for the ControlPoint Configuration Site's Custom Properties list.

2Under Columns, click Create column.

 

3Enter a Column name (that is, the name you want to assign to the Custom Property), and for column type, select Managed Metadata.

 

4For Term Set Settings, either:

§select Use a managed term set, then select the term set you want to use.

OR

§select Customize your term set, then create the term set you want to use.

NOTE:  Although list-specific term sets are not available to other lists in the farm when used within SharePoint, term sets created within this list can be used as ControlPoint Custom Properties by all sites throughout the farm.  

NOTE:  Additional settings, such as Allow multiple values, Allow Fill-in, and Default value are not valid for Custom Properties

5To save the custom property, click [OK].

Custom Properties defined within this list will be available for selection in the Set Site Properties user interface.

NOTE:  If you delete a Managed Metadata column from the Custom Properties list, it will no longer be selectable as a Custom Property, and any existing site associations will be lost.
