Content includes all file types, from traditional business documents such as Microsoft® PowerPoint

presentations to audio files, video files, Web pages, and Google® docs.

What is Salesforce CRM Content?

Salesforce CRM Content simplifies content management by incorporating user-friendly features

into the following tasks:

Organizing

Rather than keep files in folders that make content difficult to find, Salesforce CRM Content

stores files in fully searchable file repositories known as libraries. Administrators can create

multiple libraries based on any classification, such as department name, job function, or team, then configure user permissions within

the library to balance content access with security. Authors assign descriptive labels called tags to help classify and organize content

across libraries. You can view a list of all content that belongs to a particular tag or filter search results based on a tag or tags. Salesforce

CRM Content also provides private libraries, which allow users to reduce the clutter on their desktops while using content-management

benefits such as document search and version control.

Searching

The powerful Salesforce CRM Content search engine scans the entire body of the document as well as content properties such as

the title, description, tags, categorization data, and author name. You can filter searches by featured content, file format, author,

tags, libraries, or custom fields and then view the results with various levels of detail, providing an easy way to find relevant content

quickly. If Chatter is enabled for your organization, you can also filter your search results by Chatter files. The “smart bar” graphic for

downloads, comments, ratings, and subscribers allows you to compare documents within a search result set.

Subscribing

Once a file is located, subscribing to it ensures that you receive an email notification when new versions are published or changes

are made to the file's properties. You can also subscribe to authors, tags, and libraries, thus reducing the time spent searching for

new or updated content. Notification emails will arrive real-time or once daily, depending on your preferences.

Previewing

In Salesforce CRM Content you do not need to download a large document to determine if its content is relevant to you. The content

details page provides document details at a glance, including document title, author, description, tags, libraries, comments, votes,

versions, subscribers, and downloads. If the document is a Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, Excel, or Adobe® PDF file, you can preview

the entire file in your browser without downloading it. Some aspects of files may not be displayed in previews. Copy-protected PDFs

can't be previewed.

Contributing

Uploading new or revised files in Salesforce CRM Content is fast and easy. During the upload process you choose a library and record

type for your file or Web link, write a description, assign one or more tags, and fill out any customized fields that help categorize and

define your content. Version management does not require checking files in and out, rather, you simply upload a new version of the

file and Salesforce CRM Content maintains a version list accessible from the content details page. You can download past versions

of a file and read all reason-for-change comments that an author may have included with a new version.

Reviewing Usage and Providing Feedback

Salesforce CRM Content provides several methods for determining whether content is valuable to readers. Featuring a piece of

content increases its visibility in search results. Voting thumbs up or thumbs down on a file, Web link, or Google doc and adding

comments allow you to participate directly in content improvement. You can also see who has subscribed to a file, link, or doc and

how many times files have been downloaded. The Reports tab allows you to create standard or custom reports on Salesforce CRM

Content data. If the content delivery feature is enabled, you can send content to colleagues, leads, and contacts and then track how

often the content has been previewed or downloaded.

Sharing Content in Salesforce

Salesforce CRM Content is also integrated with leads, accounts, contacts, opportunities, cases, products, and custom objects. If

Salesforce CRM Content functionality is enabled on the Opportunity tab, for example, Salesforce CRM Content uses the fields on the

opportunity detail page to search for files that may be relevant to that opportunity. You can drill down in the search results as needed

or run your own search and then attach one or more files to the opportunity. The most current version of the file will be available

on the detail page for the life of the opportunity.

Sharing Content in Salesforce Classic Mobile

Salesforce CRM Content is available in Salesforce Classic Mobile. Users can share content with customers and colleagues from the

mobile application when they're away from their desks. Ask your administrator to set up mobile Content.

How Do I Access Salesforce CRM Content?

The sections in this guide explain how to create Salesforce CRM Content users, define administrative settings in the Setup area, and

configure libraries so contributors can begin publishing content. Licensed users can access Salesforce CRM Content by choosing Content

from the Force.com Apps drop-down list. The Salesforce CRM Content application has three tabs:

Libraries tab

Clicking the Libraries tab opens the Libraries home page where you can access your personal library, choose a specific shared library

to view or edit, analyze library usage and activity and, if applicable, create new libraries. The top of the page has several

publishing-related options with which you can publish files, Web links, and Google docs as well as create custom content packs.

See Manage Libraries for more information.

Content tab

Clicking the Content tab displays files, content packs, Web links, and Google docs published in your Salesforce CRM Content libraries.

If Chatter is enabled, files posted to Chatter groups and public Chatter files are also displayed on the Content tab. The top twenty

most recently modified items are listed by default. You can search for content and then filter your results using several criteria. Click

on a content item to open its content details page. See Search for Content for more information.

Subscriptions tab

Clicking the Subscriptions tab displays the Subscriptions home page, where you can view your Salesforce CRM Content subscriptions

and toggle them off or on. Click the Content, Tags, Authors, or Libraries subtabs to view your subscriptions. Depending on your

notification settings, you are notified of changes to your subscribed content via real-time emails or a once-daily email. See View and

Edit Content Subscriptions for more information.

How Do I Access Salesforce CRM Content?Introduction to Salesforce CRM Content

PLANNING YOUR SALESFORCE CRM CONTENT

IMPLEMENTATION

Before you can begin setting up Salesforce CRM Content, it is important that you consider the following questions. The answers to these

questions are necessary prerequisites to completing the tasks in this guide.

Who will have access to your Salesforce CRM Content organization?

Each user must have a Salesforce CRM Content user license and certain user permissions. See Creating Salesforce CRM Content Users

for more information.

Note: Customer Portal and partner portal users can have view-only access to your organization without a Salesforce CRM Content

user license. See Enabling Salesforce CRM Content in Portals for more information.

How many libraries do you need?

Review the files you plan to store in Salesforce CRM Content to help you determine how many libraries you need and what content

belongs to each library. Users are given access to content based on their library permissions. Note that every user has one personal library

where he or she can store private or in-progress content. See Creating Libraries and Adding Members for more information.

What library permissions do you want to grant to different users?

A library permission is a group of privileges assigned to each Salesforce CRM Content library member. It determines which tasks a member

can perform in a particular library. The same user can have a different library permission in each of his or her libraries. All Salesforce CRM

Content organizations include three library permissions by default: Viewer, Author, and Administrator. You can customize these library

permissions or create new ones. Note that library permissions do not apply to personal libraries; all users can save content in their personal

library. See Creating Library Permissions for more information.

Do you need custom content fields?

All page layouts contain three default fields: Description, Tags, and Title. You can create additional fields and assign them

to one or more page layouts. If you want to create a field named, for example, Reviewed By, your custom page layout would be a

picklist with the names of possible reviewers. See Creating Custom Fields for more information.

Do you want to restrict the record types available in particular libraries?

If you create record types, you can choose to restrict record types to certain libraries. For example, if your sales teams use record types

that are exclusive to sales collateral, you can ensure that these record types do not appear as options when users of the Marketing or

Support libraries contribute content. See Restricting Record Types in a Library for more information.

Which tagging rule do you want to apply per library?

In Salesforce CRM Content, tags are descriptive labels that help classify and organize content. Contributors can assign tags to their files,

content packs, Google docs, or Web links, thus enabling all library members to browse for content by tag. The tagging rule in a library

determines how contributors can tag content; for example, the restricted-tagging rule does not allow contributors to create new tags.

Library tagging rules are optional. By default, library contributors can enter any tag. The tagging rule options are open tagging, guided

tagging, and restricted tagging. See Defining Tagging Rules for more information.

Do you want to add Google docs to Salesforce CRM Content?

Including Google docs in Salesforce CRM Content allows users to access all types of content from a single location and apply Salesforce

CRM Content functionality, such as votes, comments, and subscriptions, to Google docs. To associate Google docs with a library, the

Add Google Docs to Salesforce service must be activated for your organization. See Enabling Google Docs for more information.

Do you want to enable content deliveries?

A content delivery allows you to easily convert documents such as Microsoft® PowerPoint and Word files into an optimized web-based

version for easy online viewing. Once you create your delivery, you can send its encrypted URL to any recipient, such as leads, customers,

partners, and colleagues, and then track how often the content is viewed or downloaded. Content deliveries are available in Salesforce

Classic only. However, Lightning Email generates delivery-based links as email attachments for Lightning Experience users who have

access to the Content Deliveries feature. On the content details page in Salesforce CRM Content, you can create a new delivery or view

all the deliveries associated with that piece of content. See Enabling Content Deliveries for more information.

Do you want to enable multilanguage support?

You can allow users to publish, edit, and search for content in any of the Salesforce-supported languages. Users can choose a language

or publish in their personal language by default. See Enabling Multilanguage Support for more information.

Do you want to enable content packs?

Content packs are powerful tools that help users efficiently share, customize, and reuse content. A content pack is a collection of related

documents or files that are stored as a group in Salesforce CRM Content. Any file in Salesforce CRM Content can be added to a content

pack, from traditional business documents such as Microsoft® PowerPoint presentations and Adobe® PDF files, to audio files, video files,

and Google docs. See Enabling Content Packs for more information.

Do you want to make Salesforce CRM Content accessible from standard

and custom objects?

You can enable Salesforce CRM Content functionality for leads, accounts, contacts, opportunities, cases, products, or custom objects by

adding the Related Content related list to the appropriate page layout. From the Related Content related list, users can search for and

attach content that is relevant to the record. See Associating Content with Standard and Custom Objects for more information.

Planning your Salesforce CRM Content Implementation

Do you want to enable Salesforce CRM Content in the Customer Portal

and partner portal?

You can provide portal users with different levels of access to your Salesforce CRM Content organization. See Enabling Salesforce CRM

Content in Portals for more information.

Planning your Salesforce CRM Content Implementation

SETTING UP SALESFORCE CRM CONTENT

Implementing Salesforce CRM Content for your organization includes creating licensed users; defining organization-level settings such

as content fields, record types, and page layouts; customizing the libraries where contributors will add and view content; and, if applicable,

enabling Salesforce CRM Content in your customer or partner portals.

For information about contributing content, see Upload and Publish Content. If you have a large volume of content that cannot be

uploaded manually, contact Salesforce for assistance.

Creating Salesforce CRM Content Users

To create a Salesforce CRM Content user:

1. From Setup, enter Users in the Quick Find box, then select Users.

2. Click Edit next to the user's name, and then select the Salesforce CRM Content User checkbox.

3. Optionally, select the Receive Salesforce CRM Content Emails as Alerts checkbox or the Receive

Salesforce CRM Content Alerts as Daily Digest checkbox.

If Receive Salesforce CRM Content Emails as Alerts is selected, the user receives email notifications if activity

occurs on his or her subscribed content, libraries, tags, or authors. To receive real-time email alerts, select this checkbox and do not

select the Receive Salesforce CRM Content Alerts as Daily Digest checkbox. If Receive Salesforce

CRM Content Alerts as Daily Digest is selected, the user receives a once-daily email summary if activity occurs on

his or her subscribed content, libraries, tags, or authors. Users can modify these preferences themselves.

4. Verify that the Salesforce CRM Content user has the appropriate Salesforce CRM Content user permissions enabled:

Function ControlledUser Permission

The user can create, edit, and delete libraries and edit library

membership. This administrative user permission is inclusive of

the other four Salesforce CRM Content user permissions.

Manage Salesforce CRM Content

The user can create Salesforce CRM Content libraries.Create Libraries

The user can create, edit, and delete library permissions in

Salesforce CRM Content.

Manage Content Permissions

The user can create, edit, and delete custom fields in Salesforce

CRM Content.

Manage Content Properties

The user can create, edit, and delete record types and page

layouts in Salesforce CRM Content.

Manage record types and layouts for Files

Note: By default, the System Administrator user profile contains all Salesforce CRM Content user permissions.

5. When you are finished editing the user record, click Save.

Configuring Organization Settings

Before creating and configuring libraries in Salesforce CRM Content, complete the following optional administrative tasks.

Creating Custom Fields

USER PERMISSIONS

To create, edit, or delete

custom fields:

•“Manage Salesforce

CRM Content”

“Manage Content

Properties”

You can create custom fields and assign them to a page layout. The default fields are

Description, Tags, and Title. If you want to create a field named, for example, Reviewed

By, your custom content field would be a picklist with the names of possible reviewers.

To create, modify, and delete Salesforce CRM Content custom fields for categorizing and defining

your content, go to the object management settings for content. If you're using Lightning Experience,

go to the Object Manager, select Content Version, then scroll to the fields area. If you're using

Salesforce Classic, enter Salesforce Files in the Quick Find box, then select Fields.

The data assigned to these fields during upload is available on the content details page for the life

of the file. After creating custom content fields, you must assign them to a page layout. The page

layout determines which fields appear when a user uploads or revises files in Salesforce CRM Content.

To create a custom content field:

1. Click New.

2. Choose the type of field to create, and click Next.

3. For relationship fields, associate an object with the field and click Next.

4. Enter a field label. The field name is automatically populated based on the field label you enter. This name can contain only underscores

and alphanumeric characters, and must be unique in your org. It must begin with a letter, not include spaces, not end with an

underscore, and not contain two consecutive underscores. Ensure the custom field name is not identical to any standard field name

for that object.

5. Choose the page layout that should display the field as an editable field.

Creating Library Permissions

USER PERMISSIONS

To create library

permissions:

•“Manage Salesforce

CRM Content”

“Manage Content

Permissions”

To create a library permission in Salesforce CRM Content, from Setup, enter Content

Permissions in the Quick Find box, select Content Permissions, and then click Add a

Library Permission.

1. Assign a name to the library permission.

2. Optionally, enter a description of the library permission. If your organization has several library

permissions, consider describing each by its function or with a summary of its privileges. For

example, for a “Marketing Reviewer” permission you might include a description that reads,

“Reviews all content used in outbound marketing campaigns” or “This user can view and

comment on documents.”

3. In the Permissions section, select the checkboxes that correspond to the privileges you want

to grant to users with this library permission.

Enabling Multilanguage Support

USER PERMISSIONS

To modify Salesforce CRM

Content settings:

•“Manage Salesforce

If the Enable Multilanguage search and contribute checkbox is selected, a Language

drop-down list is available on the Salesforce CRM Content page in Setup when users publish, edit,

or search for content. The Language drop-down list contains all twenty languages that Salesforce

supports.

If a user does not choose a language when publishing content, that content is associated with the

user's personal language by default. If the user's personal language setting is different from the

organization's language, content published by that user is associated with the user's language, not

the organization's language.

Enabling Multilanguage SupportSetting up Salesforce CRM Content

Enabling Content Packs

USER PERMISSIONS

To modify Salesforce CRM

Content settings:

•“Manage Salesforce

CRM Content”

You can enable or disable the content pack features by toggling the Enable content pack

creation checkbox on the Salesforce CRM Content page in Setup. By default, this setting is

enabled in all organizations.

When this setting is enabled, the Create New > Content Pack option displays on the Libraries

tab. Also, from the content details page, users can clone and customize these documents or create

new versions. If you disable Enable content pack creation after users in your

organization have already created content packs, no content is deleted and users can continue to

modify metadata such as description, title, and custom fields. However, once content pack creation is no longer enabled, users cannot

customize or modify existing packs. Specifically, the Clone & Customize button and the Edit > Content Pack options on the content

details page is unavailable.

For more information and a description of content packs, see Create and Modify Content Packs in Salesforce CRM Content.

Enabling Content Deliveries

1. From Setup, enter Content Deliveries in the Quick Find box, then select Content Deliveries and enable Enable

Creation of Content Deliveries for Salesforce FilesIf you don’t have access to the Content Deliveries

feature, contact Salesforce Customer Support to activate it.

2. Choose a default option for content-delivery passwords. Because content-delivery URLs can be sent to leads, customers, or any

unauthenticated user, Salesforce recommends requiring password protection if your users will send confidential documents via

content delivery. The options below allow you to select an organization-wide default for content-delivery password protection.

•Password protection is optional and defaults to OFF—If this option is selected, users can choose to require a password

when they create a content delivery, but the Require Password to Access Content field on the create-delivery

wizard is not checked by default.

•Password protection is optional and defaults to ON—If this option is selected, the Require Password to Access

Content field on the create delivery wizard is checked by default. Users can uncheck the option if they do not want to require

a password.

•Password protection is required—If this option is selected, a password is generated each time a content delivery is created.

Users cannot opt out of the password requirement.

Note:

•If you choose to require a password, users who create a content delivery will receive a password when the delivery is

generated; users must send the password and the delivery URL to delivery recipients. Delivery recipients are prompted for

the password when they click the content delivery URL.

•Content delivery passwords display with the content-delivery URL when the delivery is created. You can also access the

password on the delivery detail page for the life of the content delivery.

When content delivery is enabled, all users should add the Content Deliveries related list to their page layouts for leads, business accounts,

contacts, opportunities, cases, campaigns, or custom objects. All Salesforce CRM Content users will see a Deliver Content option on

each content details page.

Implementation Tips

•To ensure quality of service, the total number of content-delivery views allowed within a 24-hour period is limited to 20,000. Also,

the amount of bandwidth allocated to content deliveries is limited to 10 GB within a 24-hour period. If a recipient tries to view a

Enabling Content PacksSetting up Salesforce CRM Content

delivery when a rate limit has been exceeded, a notification displays that asks the viewer to try again later. Salesforce may be able

to increase rate limits on an exception basis. For more information, contact your sales representative.

•When you create a content delivery, Salesforce copies the original file and creates a new version of that file specifically for online

viewing. Note the following information concerning supported file types:

–Microsoft® Office 97 through Microsoft Office 2007 Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files are supported for online views.

–Adobe® PDF files are supported for online views, but copy-protected PDFs are not.

–JPG, BMP, GIF, and PNG are supported for online views.

–Any document over 25 MB is not supported for online views.

You can create a content delivery with any file type, but if the file type is not supported for online viewing, your recipient can only

download the document in its original file format.

•Always preview your content delivery before sending the URL to recipients. In some cases, formatting in the original file, such as

colors and non-standard fonts, may not display properly in the online version. If you are not happy with the quality of the online

version, the content delivery wizard gives you the option of making your content available for download in its original file format.

•Content deliveries require Adobe Flash version 9.0.115. If a recipient does not have Flash installed, a download option displays.

•Customer Portal and partner portal users cannot create content deliveries.

•Only the creator of a content delivery can delete the delivery record or edit details such as the expiration date.

•Each time a content delivery's URL is clicked, Salesforce records the click as one view and distinguishes between internal and external

views. An internal view is a view by a Salesforce user, for example, clicking the delivery URL on the delivery detail page or the View

option on the Content Deliveries related list is an internal view. The Content Deliveries related list provides a count of all views for

each delivery. Open the delivery details page to see information about a specific view.

Note: For password-protected content deliveries, a view is recorded when the recipient clicks on the delivery URL regardless

of whether he or she enters the password and views the delivery.

•Salesforce CRM Content users can deliver content from shared libraries or a personal library.

Best Practices

•After creating a content delivery, always preview it before sending the URL to your recipients to ensure that the formatting in the

original file displays properly in the online version. For example, colors and non-standard fonts may not display properly in the

preview player. If you are not happy with the quality of the online version, click Previous and choose to make your content available

in its original file format or as a PDF file only. Your recipients will be able to download the file, and you can track whether the file was

downloaded on the delivery detail page.

•Animation and timings in PowerPoint files are not supported in the content delivery's online version. Hyperlinks in all file types are

also unsupported. See the implementation tips for a complete list of supported file types.

•If you are a Salesforce CRM Content user and want recipients of your content delivery to always see the latest version of a file rather

than the version available on the delivery-creation date, open the delivery detail page and click Edit. Select the Content

Delivery Opens Latest Version checkbox.

•If you select Notify Me of First View or Download, you will receive an email when the content delivery is viewed

for the first time.

Enabling Content DeliveriesSetting up Salesforce CRM Content

Enabling Google Docs

USER PERMISSIONS

Activating the Add Google

Docs to Salesforce service:

•“Customize Application”

If the Add Google Docs to Salesforce service is enabled for your organization, an Add Google Doc

drop-down list on the Libraries tab allows users to add Google documents, spreadsheets, and

presentations to their Salesforce CRM Content libraries.

Note: Before you can enable any Salesforce for Google Apps services, you must create a

Google Apps account and configure that account's domain settings. From Setup, enter

Google Apps Settings in the Quick Find box, then select Google Apps

Settings. For details about these prerequisites, see Get Started with Salesforce and Google

Apps.

To activate or deactivate the Add Google Docs to Salesforce service:

1. From Setup, enter Google Apps Settings in the Quick Find box, then select Google Apps Settings.

2. Click Edit next to the Add Google Docs to Salesforce option in the Activate Google Apps Services list.

3. Select Activate.

4. Read and indicate whether you agree to the Terms of Use.

5. Click Save.

For information about using Google Docs with Salesforce CRM Content, see Contribute Google Docs to Salesforce CRM Content.

Associating Content with Standard and Custom Objects

The Related Content related list allows users to search for content in Salesforce CRM Content and attach it to leads, accounts, contacts,

opportunities, products, cases, and custom objects. To use the related list, each user must add it to his or her page layouts for these

objects. For instructions on modifying page layouts, see Page Layouts.

To search for content using the Related Content related list:

1. Click Find Content or Search All. In both cases, Salesforce CRM Content searches within the libraries that you have access to. If you

click Search All, the search results display all the content in your libraries. For the Find Content search, your search results contain

content that is relevant to the record; Salesforce CRM Content searches for content with text or attributes that match the following

fields:

•On an opportunity, the Opportunity Name, Account Name, and all competitors and products.

•On an account, the Account Name and Industry.

•On a case, the Case Reason, Subject, Account Name, and Industry.

•On a lead, the Name, Company, Industry, and Title.

Note: On a custom object, clicking Find Content returns search results that contain the full custom object name in the

document's text or attributes. If no content meets this criterion, the search results will be empty and a Search All search should

be used instead.

2. On the search results page, filter your results as needed by entering search terms or selecting filter criteria from the sidebar.

3. Click Attach for any file that you want to attach to the record.

4. Click the Back link to return to the detail page.

Configuring LibrariesSetting up Salesforce CRM Content

•Allow content with any record type to be linked to this library—Select this option if you

want to enable content published in other libraries to be shared to the library where you have restricted record types. The content

in other libraries can be shared regardless of the record types used.

•Do not apply record type restrictions to existing content—Select this option if you do not

want to receive warnings regarding existing content in the library. You will not be alerted if existing content uses record types

that you exclude from the library. This option refers to notifications only; existing content is not affected by restricted record

types.

6. For each record type that you want to allow in the library, move it from the Available Record Types list to the Selected Record Types

list.

7. Click Save.

Notes on Restricting Record Types

•If the library already contains published content, selecting the Restrict the record types available in the

library option automatically moves all the record types used by the published content to the Selected Record Types list.

•Deselecting the Restrict the record types available in the library option automatically moves any

record types in the Selected Record Types list to the Available record Types list.

•When changing a file's managing library, the file's record type must be permitted in the new managing library.

•When sharing a file with a library, the file's record type must be permitted in the shared library unless the Allow content

with any record type to be linked to this library option is selected for the shared library.

•When the default record type for a user's profile differs from the default record type for a library, the user profile default takes priority

when a user with that profile shares a file with the library. General is used as the default record type when no default is set for the

user profile.

•When there are no record types in common between a user profile and a library, the default record type for a library is available to

users with that user profile who are sharing files with the library.

Defining Tagging Rules

USER PERMISSIONS

To assign a tagging rule to

checked in your library

permission definition

In Salesforce CRM Content, tags are descriptive labels that help classify and organize content.

Contributors can assign tags to their files, content packs, Google docs, or Web links, thus enabling

all library members to browse for content by tag. The tagging rule in a library determines how

contributors can tag content; for example, the restricted-tagging rule does not allow contributors

to create new tags. Library tagging rules are optional. By default, library contributors can enter any

tag.

To assign a tagging rule to a library:

1. On the Libraries tab, select a library from the My Libraries area.

2. Click Tagging Rules and choose one of the following options:

DescriptionLibrary Tagging Rule

This rule places no restrictions on tagging.

Contributors can enter any tag when

Open Tagging

publishing or editing content. While a tag is

typed, Salesforce CRM Content autosuggests

tags based on the contributor's recently used

tags and the Popular Tags list.

Defining Tagging RulesSetting up Salesforce CRM Content

DescriptionLibrary Tagging Rule

This rule also enables contributors to enter any tag when

publishing or editing content, but contributors are also offered

Guided Tagging

a list of suggested tags. If you select Guided Tagging, the next

step prompts you to enter the suggested tags that you want to

recommend to library contributors.

This rule requires contributors to choose from the list of

suggested tags. If you select Restricted Tagging, the next step

prompts you to enter the list of suggested tags.

Restricted Tagging

3. If you chose Guided Tagging or Restricted Tagging, click the link for auto-populating the Suggested Tags field and then

edit, add, or remove tags as needed. If you do not auto-populate the Suggested Tags field, any new tags you enter in the field

are added to the existing list of suggested tags in the library.

4. Click Save.

Notes on Library Tagging Rules

•Open Tagging is the default tagging rule.

•If you publish, share, or move content to a library that uses restricted tags, you will receive an error if your content contains unsupported

tags.

•When you share content from one library to another, the most restrictive tagging rule applies. For example:

–When content is shared between a restricted-tagging library and a guided- or restricted-tagging library, you can only choose

tags that are common to both libraries.

–When content is shared between an open tagging library and a restricted-tagging library, you can only choose tags suggested

in the restricted-tagging library.

•If a restricted tagging rule is applied after content has already been published in the library and the existing content contains tags

that are no longer permitted by the rule, the tags remain assigned to the content until it is edited or revised. For example, if the

Q3Forecast document has a market indicators tag and market indicators is not a suggested tag according

to the new restricted-tagging rule, market indicators is removed from Q3Forecast only when a user publishes a new

version of the file or edits the file's tags on the content details page.

•Avoid using too many tags. The search engine helps users find specific content, whereas tags enable users to browse and subscribe.

Therefore, excessive tagging creates unnecessary clutter.

•You can't change or delete tag names. You can remove tags from a document, but that doesn't delete the tag.

•Tags are case insensitive. You can't have two tags with the same name even if they use different upper and lowercase letters. The

case of the original tag is always used.

Enabling Salesforce CRM Content in Portals

Salesforce CRM Content is available in the Customer Portal and partner portal. Two levels of access to Salesforce CRM Content can be

granted to portal users:

Enabling Salesforce CRM Content in PortalsSetting up Salesforce CRM Content

•Portal users without a Salesforce CRM Content feature license can download, rate, comment on, and subscribe to content if they

have the “View Content on Portals” user permission. They cannot view potentially sensitive data such as usernames, download

history, and version history. The content delivery feature is not available to portal users.

•Portal users with a Salesforce CRM Content feature license can access all Salesforce CRM Content features granted by their library

permission(s), including contributing content, moving and sharing content among libraries, and deleting content. They can also

view Salesforce CRM Content reports. The content delivery feature is not available to portal users.
