Where is the Title document property field?
Go to Insert > Header or Footer. Select Edit Header or Edit Footer. Select Quick Parts, and select Field. In the Field names list, choose the field you want (such as FileName, Date, Author, or Title), choose the format you want in the Field properties section.
Is there a title field for a document?
You upload a document to a document library, and there is a field called Title, that you can type the text into. Most of the time it is ignored, as you already have a file name. So what is this Title field, and do we need one? I will try to demystify it with his post.
What is the title of a document in SharePoint?
The ‘Title’ property is just extra metadata assigned to the document. In the case of the above someone might be inclined to avoid using spaces in the filenames of their document, but with the title field they can be free to add them in. It would increase readability and still allow for any filename restrictions.
Document Set is a perfect marriage of both worlds (folders and metadata). The beauty of SharePoint document sets is that it creates a dedicated page for each “folder” (behind the scenes there is an actual folder, but for the user, it looks like a web page with files).
All the files that are uploaded to that document library have to fit the same profile in terms of metadata. For example, if you are uploading invoices, you might tag them by Client Name. But what if you are uploading Meeting minutes or Agenda document from the last meeting you had?
