Great post on create a Related Documents view for a list item.
At my organization, we have found the Budgeting and Tracking Multiple Projects Template extremely useful. For those of you have not seen this template I urge you to go to http://www.wssdemo.com/application/default.aspx and view an example of this handy template. The link is in the left nav 2cnd one after the heading Template Type: Server Admin.
In a nutshell the template allows you to track all you projects as you normally would. When you click on a detail view of the project, you also get a related tasks, related issues and related milestones data views on the same page. Any tasks, issues or milestones you add on this page will be associated with that particular project and will rollup onto a nice looking dashboard.
However… like anything, SharePoint gets you 95% there and leaves you to your own devices to accomplish the last 10 feet.
I was asked by a business user to add a related documents view. Made sense to me, so now you have all your tasks, issues, milestones and documents on one convenient page. Perhaps people would like to add a related links or related announcements or calendar items, so I set out to figure a way to add these items with one goal in mind, make a no .net code solution that a user with SharePoint designer could do. Here is the fruit of my labors.
