At the same time, if they are to be easily accessible, navigation of 50k things means that: - users have to find their way around - the UI must be responsive to such an environment. Unbound queries for all those documents would take a long time to post and would only get worse over time. Not a recipe for success. Hi Johnny,

You have described a good scenario and mechanism that works fine for your requirements. Thanks for your input Marc.

All the documents were in a hidden cabinet and users were accessing them through predefined smartlists only (thus only the relevant documents were shown). All cabinets were hidden, except the user's home and the one containing the smartlists. Two people of that group were given the rights and training the create/update smartlists. We gave advice and help on tuning smartlist when necessary but they were quite autonomous. There was much more that 50k documents, nonetheless, it worked fine. Marc. Hi all,

Yes, I agree with you on putting docs in different folders for easy management and classification purposes. It's one of the basic best practices in the real world. As for taxonomy classification, it should be implemented on attribute levels, not by folders. Just my two cents. Hi Johnny, how are you doing? long time no see..
