SharePoint In Place RM - Unified view

One of the biggest complaints of in place records management is the inability to get a unified view of all the records in the system.

Obviously this isn't a problem in a central records center but as more people are moving towards 'in place' certain gaps are being identified.

Thankfully we have the API, specifically this:

public static bool IsRecord(
SPListItem item
)

So if we recurse all the site collections, webs and lists we should begin to get an idea of the records and where they sit.

Maybe a dictionary to hold the info (name, version etc etc)

Perhaps a treeview to render the classification (site based or term set)

So lets wrap that in a web part and a treeview for navigation.

This navigation is based on the term set.



Clicking the tree node will open all the records in that term set



It's a good start and i will continue to develop it.
