How do you change the title in SharePoint?
You should set the title (default field to not required). open sharepoint desinger -> open up list in question -> update the new item form -> remove the title part (label and textbox) -> save now create a workflow that is kicked off when an item is created and update the title column with whatever meta data you want.
Is it possible to auto tag documents in SharePoint?
However… there aren’t too many users who are happy or can see the value in completing lots of metadata fields and worse still there are lots of users who will click any old options just to get a document ‘correctly’ loaded.
We know the URL cannot be longer than 255 characters, So we should avoid space while giving the list and library name. Your List or library name should be Camel case, means in a word the first letter should be capital. For example, the file name should be like “EmployeeInformation ” means “e” and “i” is capital.
The custom list name should be “Employee Information”. It is a good practice to give 24 characters in document and 14 in anything else in SharePoint while giving the naming. But when the long name is required we can give no issue with that.
