Introduction:
Here we will discuss what is document id and what is the benifit of using document id in SharePoint 2010. Also you can read an article on Document Panel in SharePoint 2010.
Description:
Document ID is a new feature comes with SharePoint 2010. This basically creates unique identifiers for documents in libraries so that they can be used to retrieve documents independently from their location. In previous versions of SharePoint we can reference through
URL only but the problem arises when if you will move document from one folder to another, because it changes the URL and breaks any already existing references.
Now through document id feature you can move the document from one folder to another within a site collection. They will maintain a static URL and that URL will redirect the web browser to the current URL of the document.
To avail this feature you need to activate the site collection feature namely Document ID Service. Document ID feature works only with documents; it does not generate IDs for other types of list items.
Whenever you upload or create a new document in a site collection with the Document ID feature activated, the Document ID engine, using a synchronous event receiver (the ItemAdded event), will give the document a unique ID. If you move the document from one library to another within the same site collection, the ID will not change. If you copy a document, the copied document will have a new ID of its own.
