Question
A company's SharePoint environment contains three web applications. The company must record the following information for each document in any of the three web applications:
The date and time at which the document was last reviewed. Additional custom date and time information as requirements are identified. You have the following requirements:
- Ensure that the current information is available when searching
content and for refining search results.
- Ensure that the additional custom date and time information can be
assigned to content in all web applications.
- Ensure that SharePoint users who are not farm administrators can
record additional date and time information as required. You need to meet the requirements. What should you do?
Options
- ACreate a column of data type Date and Time in a document library in each site collection.
- BIn Central Administration, create a term set with a term of data type Date and Time.
- CCreate a content type that uses a custom field of data type Date and Time in each site collection.
- DCreate a site column of data type Date and Time in each site collection.

Why each option
A Managed Metadata term set created in Central Administration is farm-wide, searchable, refinable, and manageable by delegated term store administrators rather than only farm admins, satisfying all cross-web-application requirements.
A column created inside a specific document library is scoped only to that library and is not available across other site collections or web applications.
Creating a term set in Central Administration via the Managed Metadata Service makes the metadata available across all web applications in the farm without needing to repeat configuration in each site collection. Term store administrators - who do not need to be farm administrators - can add new terms over time to meet evolving requirements, and managed metadata columns are crawled and surfaced as search refiners by default.
A content type created within an individual site collection is scoped to that site collection; without using the Content Type Hub, it cannot be shared across all three web applications.
A site column created in a specific site collection is scoped to that site collection and cannot be directly assigned to content in other site collections or web applications without manual duplication.
