Datasheet
Whitepaper
I think both of these terms may have started out two words, but have
become accepted as single words. We use them both as single words. It
helps us synergize key verticals for a game-changing paradigm shift. ;)
And "documents location" sounds odd. Sounds like one of those phrases
you should rewrite to avoid--maybe "location of the documents"?

Hi,
What is the correct way of writing:
data sheet or datasheet?
white paper or whitepaper?
Also, someone wrote the following title: Documents location.
I think it it should be "Document location" even though it is in plural
because "document" becomes a general term. I was told that I am wrong?
Any
input regarding this issue?
