Document Sets

Document Sets allow you to bundle multiple documents together and aid the process during onboarding or any other process that requires a number of documents.

First you need to turn on Document Sets at the Site Collection Level

Excerpt from

Adobe Coldfusion 9: Getting Started

By Ben Forta, Raymond Camden

Other Approaches for Accessing ColdFusion Data and Content from SharePoint In addition to the methods described so far for accessing entire ColdFusion 9 applications in SharePoint Web Part Pages, you can access ColdFusion 9 data
and content from SharePoint in the following ways Links, Web Services, Email, RSS, WebParts

Links: SharePoint offers many different ways for including simple links to
ColdFusion 9 application URLs.

Web services: SharePoint can use Web services via custom-developed Web Parts as well as via the Business Data Catalog (BDC) and BDC-related Web Parts, Therefore, you can create a ColdFusion Web service and consume it via
the SharePoint BDC and custom-developed Web Parts.

Email: SharePoint lists can be configured as email-enabled this opens a world of possibilities such as posting SharePoint blog entries via email and posting documents attached to emails to SharePoint document libraries.
Therefore, you can use the ColdFusion 9 <cfmaiI> tag to send ColdFusion data to SharePoint lists via email.

RSS: SharePoint provides the RSS Viewer Web Part that allows you to display an RSS feed in a Web Part Page. Therefore, you can use the ColdFusion 9 <cf feed> tag to produce an RSS feed that you consume with the SharePoint RSS Viewer
Web Part,

WSRP: SharePoint provides the WSRP Consumer Web Part that allows you to display a WSRP Producer in a Web Part Page. Therefore, you can use the ColdFusion 9 capabilities as a WSRP Producer to expose ColdFusion data
as a Web service that can be displayed with the SharePoint WSRP Consumer Web Part.
