Many to Many 'contains' associations for folders..

[mrt]

Is it possible / sensible to create a content model in which a document could appear in more than one folder (some subtype of cm:folder), and for the Web Client to show these items as content items of the folder?

What would be a good setup for creating and maintaining such a content model, i.e. for creting and maintaining the containment "links". Cut &  Paste in the Web Client appears to create new instances of the objects.

In our application, we have a very large number of documents, each associated with one or more document types. Id would be very convenient for these associations to be handled as folders / containment in the Web Client (as opposed to using tags / categories).

Hi there,

I have a very similar issue: All our documents are assigned to two categories (lets call them business unit and location). Now, what is the smartest way to create a space structure which mirrors this approach without duplicating the content? And how can I force users to enter the respective "matrix information" (which business unit does it belong to? Which location does it belong to?) when they upload content so that an instance / a link is automatically created in the respective folders?

Thanks very much for your help!
