Abstract
Described are a system and method for facilitating collaboration on a project by multiple team members. A plurality of projects and a plurality of documents are stored in persistent storage of a server system. A user launches an application program that displays an expandable and collapsible view showing each project of the plurality of projects for which the user is a team member and each document linked to each of the shown projects. Searchable metadata is associated with each project. The searchable metadata associated with each project is propagated to each document linked to that project. A given document is searched for using the metadata propagated from the project linked to that document.
