A SharePoint Document Auto Title can set a SharePoint document title with its file name automatically when the document is uploaded or modified in SharePoint Document library.

SharePoint Document Auto Title provides a SharePoint workflow template named "Document Auto Title Workflow" to automatically set titles for documents when documents are uploaded or modified.

Why Did We Build It?

Normally, when a document is uploaded to SharePoint Document library, the SharePoint document title will not be set automatically only in the case that the document has "Title” metadata. Usually you’d like the uploaded SharePoint document title is as same as the file name by default without inputting the title manually in SharePoint Document library. Unfortunately you have to do that especially if you need to lookup documents while only Title not File Name can be used as "Get Information From".

SharePoint Document Auto Title can help you complete such a boring work. By Document Auto Title Workflow, you don’t need to fill in Title column when documents are uploaded. After the documents have been uploaded, waiting for the workflow finished, the SharePoint document title will be filled automatically. But please remember: DO NOT edit the properties of the document when the workflow is running.

SharePoint Document Auto Title provides a SharePoint workflow to automatically set SharePoint document title with its file name when document is uploaded or modified. This function is not provided by default SharePoint.

A complete tutorial of SharePoint Document Auto Title is as following.

NOTE: The Document Auto Title Workflow can only be applied to document libraries.

Here we need to upload a number of documents which has no titles to SharePoint document library "Shared Documents".

1. Add Document Auto Title Workflow

Open Shared Documents, and click Document Library Settings on the Settings Menu.

Then, on the Settings page, click Workflowsettings link.

On the Add a Workflow Page, click Document Auto Title Workflow template in the Workflow section, and type a unique name for this workflow in the Name section.

In the Start Options section, click the check box "Start this workflow when a new item is created" and "Start this workflow when an item is changed" to ensure the Auto Title Workflow will start when you upload or modify a document. Then click OK.

2. Workflow configuration

Set workflow configurations on Customize Workflow page. Here we select the "Exclude file extension" and "Always set title check box". Then, click OK.

3. Start workflow

After settings done, return to the Shared Documents library.

Click Upload Multiple Documents on the Upload Menu.

Select the documents which you want to upload, and click OK.

After the status of "Auto title workflow" shows completed, the titles of documents are automatically added in the column Title as following.

Make sure to read the purchase FAQ below before you buy this product.

Site Collection License

Farm License

Purchase FAQ:

• What is the difference between a Site Collection License and a Farm License, and which type of license should I choose?
  • A Site Collection License is applied to a specific Site Collection and refers the number of end-users on that ONE Site Collection. A Farm License refers the amount of end-users the LARGEST Site Collection within a particular Farm.
  • A Site Collection License is better if you only have one Site Collection and your Site Collection ID is unlikely to change frequently (your Site Collection ID will change if you reinstall SharePoint or transplant your SharePoint data from one server to another). If your Site Collection ID changes, contact our sales team for assistance.
  • A Farm License is better if you would like to install a SharePointBoost product on multiple Site Collections or if your Site Collection ID frequently changes.
  • If you are still unsure as to which license type is best for you, please email sales@sharepointboost.com for assistance.
• What are "end-users" and how do they affect my license size? How do I find how many end-users I have on my Site Collection / Farm?
  • Our software uses the standard established method by Microsoft to determine the amount of end-users in a Site Collection or Farm. An end-user is defined as any user who has been authorized to access any site in your Site Collection or Farm. If they have access to your site, they are counted as an end-user.
  • Before purchasing a license, please think carefully about how many people will need to access your site (meaning any part of it) and delete any users that no longer require access in SharePoint. To find the number of end-users you have in a Site Collection or Farm, please check the license management page (this will appear after you install the trial version of our software on your SharePoint servers), or download and run the free End User Viewer Tool available here: http://www.sharepointboost.com/end-user-viewer-tool.html. The End User Viewer Tool can also be used to delete inactive user accounts.
  • Our licenses increase in increments of 100 users. This means that if there are 155 people who need to access your site, you will need to purchase a 200 end-user license.
• What will happen if I add another server to a Site Collection / Farm? How will this affect my license?
  • If you add new servers to an already existing Site Collection or Farm, your license will still be valid as long as the number of end-users does not exceed the number allowed by your license (e.g. if you purchase a 200 end-user Site Collection License, your license will always be valid for 200 or fewer users regardless of the number of servers).
• If the current end-user number exceeds the end-user number allowed by my Site Collection License / Farm License, what will happen?
  • If the current end-user amount exceeds the amount of end-users allowed by your license, the original functions and settings of the software will NOT be influenced until you change them (e.g. additions, deletions, modifications, etc.) At that time, you need to upgrade your license by contacting sales@sharepointboost.com. Note that upgrades will incur additional fees equal to the price difference between the old and new licenses. For example, if you purchased a 200 end-user license for $399 and you want to upgrade to a 300 end-user license with a list price of $449, you only need to pay for the difference in prices (in this case $50).
• Which payment methods does SharePointBoost allow?
  • PayPal:
  • The preferred method of payment is PayPal. You can either purchase SharePointBoost products via PayPal account or via credit card. If you would like to purchase a Farm license or a Site Collection license where the total number of end-users is greater than 900, we will generate a PayPal purchase link and send it to you in an email (paying via purchase link does not require that you have a PayPal account).
  • Secure Purchase Link:
  • If purchasing our products through PayPal is not possible for you, then you may contact sales@sharepointboost.com to get a secure purchase link generated and then emailed to you. Here you may pay with a credit card online, by phone, or by fax.
  • Bank Transfer:
  • If purchasing our products through PayPal or via a secure purchase link is not possible for you, then you may contact us to get bank information for a wire transfer. Note that you are responsible for any bank transfer fees.
  • If you do not specify one currency from USD, HKD, JPY, or EUR, we will take USD as the default payment currency.
  • SHAREPOINTBOOST DOES NOT ACCEPT CORPORATE OR PERSONAL CHECKS. PLEASE USE PAYPAL, SECURE PURCHASE LINK OR BANK TRANSFER TO PURCHASE OUR PRODUCTS.
• How can I find my Site Collection ID or Farm ID?
  • To find your Site Collection ID or Farm ID, please check the license management page (this will be accessible via a license management link that will appear after you install the trial version of our software on your SharePoint servers), or download and install the free License Management Center Application here: http://www.sharepointboost.com/licensecenter.html.
• What is SharePointBoost’s refund policy?
  • A request for a refund will only be granted if it is received BEFORE the license code has been sent.
• Does SharePointBoost offer a discount for non-profit organizations, government agencies, or educational institutions?
  • If you can provide proof that your organization is a registered non-profit, you will be eligible for a 15% discount. Contact your government to request a certificate verifying your not-for-profit status if you have not already done so.
