Tree structure in SharePoint

Recognisable navigation

Challenges with a tree structure in SharePoint

  • SharePoint's limited hierarchical structure makes it difficult to keep track of complex folders.

SharePoint offers limited options for organising documents and projects in a clear, hierarchical tree structure. This makes it difficult for users to keep track of complex folders and document sets, especially when many different levels and subfolders are required. The lack of an intuitive, visual folder structure means that information is often hard to find and users spend a lot of time navigating through different SharePoint sites.

Moreover, SharePoint does not provide flexible options to let different departments or teams manage their own tree structures, making it difficult to create customised structures to suit an organisation's specific workflows.

Efficient organisation with SharePoint DMS tree structure

SharePoint DMS makes it easy to organise documents, projects and information in an intuitive tree structure. This functionality gives users a visual and hierarchical overview of all their folders and files, making it easier to quickly navigate through large amounts of information.

The tree structure is fully customisable, allowing organisations to create folders and subfolders to suit their specific needs and workflows. This provides greater overview, faster access to information and improved collaboration within teams. In addition, SharePoint DMS allows access rights to be set at each level of the tree structure, keeping sensitive information secure.

Possibilities of templates with SharePoint DMS

  • Hierarchical organisation of documents: Create clear folder structures for easy navigation.
  • Integration M365 apps: Find SharePoint locations in all Microsoft 365 applications via a convenient tree structure.
  • Customisable tree structures: Adjust the structure based on team or project needs.
