Document Type
Hi there,

I have a question here. I have setup several document types in the site. Below is what the structure looks like.

Home (Page)
- Promotion tile (Folder)
- Tile 1 (Promotion Tile doc type)
- Tile 2 (Promotion Tile doc type)

I noticed that each of the document has been assigned a URL to it. Those folder and promo doc type are used for rendering the content in the home page. I do not want those doc types browsable either in the backend and frontend. However, I can go to those document types by URLs below.

www.site.com/home.aspx <== I want this
www.site.com/home/Promotion-tile.aspx <== I do not want this
www.site.com/home/Promotion-tile/Tile-1.aspx <== I do not want this
www.site.com/home/Promotion-tile/Tile-2.aspx <== I do not want this

Any configurations that make folder and promo tile not browable? Thanks.

RE:Document Type
Hi,

in this case you can set a workflow in this section and do not publish promotion documents. Then on your home page you can use for example a repeater web part. It has a check box property Select only published. If you uncheck this option, information from promotion documents will be displayed on a home page even they are not published.

For more details please take a look here:
