Ten Best SharePoint Features You’ve Never Used by Christian Buckley - SPTechCon
What’s New in SharePoint 2010


•   Administration upgrades
•   Social tools
•   Content Management capability
•   Office web applications
•   Search functionality
•   Solution Development
• Administration
  • PowerShell offers more than 550 cmdlets through
    the SharePoint Administration shell allowing Admins
    to script deployment and administration tasks.
  • Health Assessment is a rules engine introduced in
    MOSS 2007 has been further integrated into the
    platform, alerting Admins to configuration issues
    and suggesting best practices.
  • Web Analytics provides usage analysis and
    diagnostic logging features to consolidate event
    logs, performance data, and usage analysis into a
    single reporting database against which Admins can
    build their own reports.
  • Sandbox Solutions can be executed in the context of
    a User Code Service that provide Admins the ability
    to monitor and meter solution resource consumption
    to protect the farm from misbehaving code.

Social Networking
  Noteboard is a micro-blog
  where users can post short
  notes on MySites and
  aggregate the notes of
  colleagues they are following.




  Social Tagging allows end
  users to provide context to
  content through use of “I Like
  It”, comments, ratings and
  keyword tagging.
• Social Networking
  • Blogs got a major facelift, including the addition of comments, ratings,
    and the ability to present calendar-based archives of older posts.
Social Networking
  Enterprise Wiki is a new repository site template that adds a number
  of features to the standard Wiki page including the ability to insert
  reusable content blocks, and customized page layouts.
• Enterprise Content Management
  • Wiki Editing is now the default page editing experience for
    SharePoint 2010, providing an easy to use, rich-text experience.
  • Content Lifecycle Policies have undergone a major enhancement,
    allowing multi-phased retention and expiration policies to be defined
    for a site, content type or list. The out-of-box actions list now
    supports many additional options (beyond just delete) that includes
    moving, copying, making a record, and custom workflows.
  • Validation Rules can now be defined on fields and are applied at the
    object model, not the user interface level. Items created through
    code, script or the user interface can now have multi-field validation
    applied consistently.
  • Default Values are self describing and provide the ability to define
    intelligent default values on content items. Default values can also be
    location-aware, allowing default values to be defined down to the
    folder level.
Enterprise Search
  Faceted Search provides refiners that
  allow users to add additional filters to
  search results, configured based on
  metadata, user context, location, and
  time periods.




  People Search Results have been
  improved, with results now appearing in
  a business card format.
• Office Web Applications are finally available, with the Microsoft Office
  suite now offered as web-based extensions, allowing multi-user
  authoring and real-time collaboration.

• Microsoft is positioning Office Web applications as an extension to the
  desktop experience, not a replacement, and the Office Web Applications
  CALs are included as part of a Microsoft Office desktop license.
•   Solutions Development
    •   Client Object Model (OM) is a subset of the SharePoint object model extended to client runtime
        environments including JavaScript, .NET and Silverlight variations. The Client OM provides unified and
        simpler access to SharePoint content.

    •   Visual Studio 2010 Templates for just about every type of SharePoint custom artifact, the ability to
        develop visual web parts based on User Controls, and native support for solution packaging,
        deployment and debugging.

    •   Silverlight Web Part that now natively supports Silverlight applications, including the ability to save
        Silverlight XAP applications as content in document libraries and render them in a Web Part.

    •   RESTful Data Services for accessing SharePoint content items, and the ability to develop custom
        RESTful services based on ADO.NET Data Services and future support for WCF Data Services. The
        REST-based API includes support for returning results in both AtomPub and JSON formats.

    •   InfoPath Forms are now natively integrated into the Ribbon UI for Lists and Libraries allowing
        custom list views to be easily created and publishing from InfoPath. The improved InfoPath Web Part
        now supports connections allowing InfoPath forms to consume and provide data to other Web Parts,
        and InfoPath now supports sand-boxed code-behind without requiring the form to be Administrator-
        approved.

    •   Access Web Applications are a new capability in Access 2010 to create and publish browser-based
        Access applications that deploy as SharePoint site templates, and use native SharePoint lists for data
        storage. Applications can include custom forms, navigation and reports and can include custom
        scripts for data validation and application commands, actions and events.
Ok, now it’s time for

The 10 Best SharePoint Features
You've Never Used (But Should)
1. Document Sets


What are they?
• Document Sets are like folders that contain multiple
  documents or files, allowing you to apply metadata
  and rules to the set of documents, as well as to each
  individual item inside.
• Think of a Document Set as a Bill of Materials.
• They enable an organization to manage a single
  deliverable, or work product, rather than needing to
  juggle several separate documents or files.
• Document Set authors can:
  • Create new multi-document work products
    quickly and easily by using the New
    Document command in a document library.
  • Capture a version history snapshot of the
    current properties and documents within
    the Document Set.
  • Start workflows on the entire document
    set or individual items within the
    Document Set to manage common tasks
    such as review and approval.
  • E-mail a link to the Document Set.
  • Use the Send To command to move or
    copy the Document Set to another location
    (the destination must be configured within
    Central Administration).
  • Manage permissions for the Document Set.
2. Document IDs


What are they?
• A document ID is a unique identifier for a document or document set and
  a static URL that opens the document or document set associated with
  the document ID, regardless of the location of the document.

   •   Provide a consistent way to reference items such as documents and document
       sets in SharePoint where URLs can break if the location of the item changes.
   •   Creates a static URL for each content item with a document ID assigned to it.
   •   Allows you to move documents or document sets at different points in the
       document life cycle. For example, if you create a document on a MySite or
       Workspace page and then publish it on a team site, the document ID persists
       and travels with the document, circumventing the broken URL problem.
   •   Allows you to customize the format of the IDs that the service generate via the
       document management API, enabling custom document ID providers.
Document IDs must be activated as a Site
Collection feature, and then enabled
•   You can configure some setting by going to Site Collection Settings >> Mange Document ID’s




•   To view it in a library,
    simply modify the view
    and include the
    attribute.
•   You can view all of your Document IDs as a column




                •   If you right click on the Document ID and
                    select Properties, you can see the URL.
                    Note that it is not an explicit path to the
                    library – instead, it goes to the document
                    ID Redirector, which finds the document
                    wherever it has been moved.
•   You can use the document ID Redirector in the DocCenter to find the document




Note that for existing documents some action has to be taken on the document to cause a
Document ID to be generated (like check-in/check-out.) Any new documents will have a
Document ID generated on upload... Or you can go into Site Collection Administrator and force a
timer job to stamp all the documents.

Additionally, Document ID’s are indexed so you can search on the property DocID
•   Another way to find the Document ID is in View Properties
3. Organizational Charts


What are they?
• Organizational Charts are a new Silverlight control available
  through MySites.
• Provide a sleek new UI for team profiles.
• Highlight the need to build out your user profiles (whether or
  not you enable the full capabilities of MySites)
• For organizations that have their end users complete their user
  profiles, the organizational charts can be very helpful. They are
  found on the tabs on your MySite
• The Silverlight control
  makes the traditional org
  chart visual and simple, with
  management chain above,
  peers on the side, and direct
  reports below, allowing end
  users to quickly identify
  contacts within an
  organization and better
  understand relationships.
4. “Ask me about” feature
                  (user profile property)


What is it?
• On your MySite, the overview tab includes an “Ask Me About” web part that helps
  users in your organization find answers from people with the right answers. It’s a
  simple feature, but extremely effective at exposing skills and interests in a readily
  consumable format.

• You can build your skills and interests from available keywords already stored in
  SharePoint or create new ones that are immediately available in the keyword
  store, such as industries, internal project names, or technical capabilities to help
  end users identify skill matches.

• Once added, these terms are displayed on the overview tab, where you can click
  each one to find other users with similar traits.

5. Promoting (user-generated)
              tags to your taxonomy

What is this?

• As end users add tags / metadata to content, there is a need for proactive
  governance of the metadata, promoting terms into the managed taxonomy.

                Feature
                Create or delete term sets
                Add, modify or delete terms
                Arrange terms in hierarchies
                Define synonyms
                Import terms
                Promote managed keywords into managed terms
                Create multi-lingual taxonomies
•   Groups represent defined security boundaries in terms of taxonomy governance.
    Multiple groups may be created within a Managed Metadata Service, with each
    Group having multiple Terms Sets. Management (create, edit, delete) of Group
    properties takes place here.




•   One or more Term Sets (up to 1,000) are defined as part of a Group. Term Sets can be
    created manually or imported through the interface. Management (create, edit,
    delete) of Term Set properties, including Term hierarchy, takes place here.
•   Individual words or phrases are added to a Term Set with governance and proactive
    management (create, copy, reuse, merge, deprecate, move or delete)
A copy of the term will be created within the original term set.
Copy the term               The new term will be named Copy of <original term name>. No child terms for the source term will
                            be copied.
                            Adds the reused term underneath the selected term in the tree view pane.
Reuse a term
                            You must have Contributor rights for the group for any term you want to reuse.
                          The selected term, as well as any of its synonyms and translations, will be merged into the selected
                          target term.
                          The original IDs of each term are preserved so that tags that used the old term IDs still work for
                          search (old IDs will not be available for new tagging).
Merge a term with another
                          Content tagged with the merged term will not be updated, but it will be returned in searches for the
                          term that is the merge target.
                          Terms can be merged only if they are siblings in the hierarchy in all term sets in which they both exist.
                          To merge terms, you must have contributor rights to the groups for both terms.
                          This action makes any instances of this term in any term set to which it belongs unavailable for
                          tagging. Any child terms of the term are not deprecated.
Deprecate a term
                          To make the term available for use again, point to it, click the arrow that appears, and click Enable
                          Term.

Move a term                 Moves the selected term, and any child terms for that term, to the selected target location.

                            Deletes the term and any child terms below it. If this term is a source term for terms that are reused
                            in other locations, it will be placed in the Orphaned Terms term set in the System group.
Delete a term
                            If the term is a unique term (not reused in other locations), the term is completely deleted.
                            If the term is a reused term, it removes the term from the current term set.
6. Conditional routing


What is this?
• SharePoint Server 2010 introduced metadata routing and storage by using
  Content Organizer. Content Organizer builds upon document routing
  features that were introduced in the Records Center site template in
  SharePoint 2007.

• With Content Organizer, new site level features make it easier for
  administrators and users to classify, route, and store content by using rules
  based on metadata.

• Instead of directly uploading a document to a library or folder, users can
  save, route, and automatically apply rules to a document.
• To do some basic routing, you need to ensure
  the feature has been turned on.




• Once activated, you'll see that the Site
  Administration section (in the Site Settings
  page) has a link for Content Organizer Settings
  and one for Content Organizer Rules.
•   When you go back to the site, you'll also notice that a 'Drop Off Library' has been
    created. This is your document's point of entry. Once a document is placed in this
    Drop Off Library, the document will be checked against your rule and routed to its
    final destination
•   In order to route the document,
    you’ll need to create your rule. Go
    to Site Actions > Site Settings.
    Under the Site Administration
    section, click on the Content
    Organizer Rules link. You will see a
    blank list.

•   Click the Add New Item link and a
    form will appear. Give your rule a
    name, select the content type that
    the rule will apply to, select the
    destination, and set the conditions –
    such as routing a document based
    on a value in a field, selecting the
    column from the dropdown
    provided and enter in the criteria.
Ten Best SharePoint Features You’ve Never Used by Christian Buckley - SPTechCon
7. Asset library


What is this?
• A digital asset is an image, audio, or video file, or other reusable rich content
  fragment that an organization uses in applications across the enterprise. The asset
  library in SharePoint Server 2010 enables users to easily create, discover and reuse
  existing digital assets within the organization.

•   In SharePoint Server 2010 you use an asset library to store and share digital assets
    with users. The asset library is a SharePoint Server 2010 library template that is
    customized to use content types designed specifically for storing and cataloging
    rich media assets.
An effective solution for managing digital assets specifies:

• The metadata to provide for each type of asset.
• The amount of storage space that is required for the assets.
• The performance issues to consider for serving the assets to users.
• Where to store assets at each stage of the life cycle.
• How to control access to an asset at each stage of its life cycle.
• How to move assets within the organization as team members
  contribute to creation, review, approval, publication, and disposition
  of assets.
• The policies to apply so that asset-related actions are audited, retained
  or disposed of correctly, and protected as necessary.
• How assets are treated as corporate records, which must be retained
  according to requirements and corporate guidelines.
• From the Create page, simply select Library and
  then Asset Library. Give it a name and click Create
• Assets are presented visually,
  making them searchable by
  metadata, asset type, and other
  attributes.

• Assets can be previewed
8. Aggregated calendar
          (with Outlook sync)


What is this?
• Teams can keep multiple calendars (up to 10) in sync
  by creating layers, allowing end users to see color-
  coded, overlapping activities.

• Users can then sync calendars to Outlook, comparing
  their personal calendar side-by-side.
• Within a site, edit the Group Calendar by changing
  the color of each entry.
• Go to the target calendar where you want to
  provide the aggregated view, and within the
  ribbon, select Create Calendar Layer. You will be
  able to select each calendar view by URL.
• These aggregate views must be recreated for each
  location in which you want the multiple views
• You can also link to Outlook from within the context
  menu by selecting the option on the ribbon.
9. Personal views


What are they?
• Personal views allow you to easily find content that you use regularly. When you
  leave a page after sorting and filtering content, you lose all of your settings.
• By creating a personal view (with the right permissions), you can organize your
  content the way you want to view it each time you visit the site.
• When you create a view, you can configure the audience for the view to be
  personal or public. A personal view is available only to you when you look at the
  list or library. A public view is available when anyone looks at the list or library.
• If you do not have permissions to create public views, the option to create one is
  grayed out, and you are able to choose only to create a personal view.
• Create and modify your view by adding, removing, and sorting columns
  from an existing view and use it as your baseline.
• You cannot change a personal view to a public view or a public view to a
  personal view. You can use a public view as the starting point for personal or
  public views. You can use a personal view as the starting point only for
  personal views.

• When you create a view, if Create View is disabled you do not have the
  necessary permissions to create a personal or public view. If the Create a
  Public View option is disabled you do not have the necessary permissions to
  create a public view.

• To create a personal view, you must have the contribute permission level for
  the list or library, such as by being member of the default site name Member
  group. To create a public view, you must have the design permission level for
  the list or library, such as by being member of the default Designer
  SharePoint group for the site.
10. Meeting workspaces


What are they?
• SharePoint workspaces provide direct bi-directional synchronization of
  library and list content between a SharePoint site and a workspace on an
  individual client computer.

• Creation of a SharePoint workspace enables individual SharePoint users to
  check out and check in SharePoint library documents from their local
  computers, bring SharePoint documents and lists to their computers
  where they can work online or offline, and synchronize local content with
  a SharePoint site.
• A Meeting Workspace is
  created by selecting the
  option on a new calendar
  items, allowing members
  of the event team to
  share documents and
  assets for the purpose of
  organizing the event, and
  is a great way to focus
  collaboration.
• If your meeting materials — such as agendas, related
  documents, objectives, and tasks — are often scattered, a
  Meeting Workspace site can help you keep them all in one place.
• The Meeting Workspace template is simple but effective in
  keeping your event content organized. At the end of an event,
  content can be saved off / archived to another location, and the
  workspace and unnecessary content deleted.
Get the most out of OOTB


• Before you spend any time on customizing SharePoint,
  understand what is possible out-of-the-box

• If you’re worried about “learning” on your primary
  (production) system, look into test / temporary
  environments from Fpweb or CloudShare

  • 6. What’s New in SharePoint 2010 • Administration upgrades • Social tools • Content Management capability • Office web applications • Search functionality • Solution Development
  • 7. • Administration • PowerShell offers more than 550 cmdlets through the SharePoint Administration shell allowing Admins to script deployment and administration tasks. • Health Assessment is a rules engine introduced in MOSS 2007 has been further integrated into the platform, alerting Admins to configuration issues and suggesting best practices. • Web Analytics provides usage analysis and diagnostic logging features to consolidate event logs, performance data, and usage analysis into a single reporting database against which Admins can build their own reports. • Sandbox Solutions can be executed in the context of a User Code Service that provide Admins the ability to monitor and meter solution resource consumption to protect the farm from misbehaving code. Outline by Chris Beckett at blog.SharePointBits.com http://bit.ly/IifjZu
  • 8. Social Networking Noteboard is a micro-blog where users can post short notes on MySites and aggregate the notes of colleagues they are following. Social Tagging allows end users to provide context to content through use of “I Like It”, comments, ratings and keyword tagging.
  • 9. • Social Networking • Blogs got a major facelift, including the addition of comments, ratings, and the ability to present calendar-based archives of older posts.
  • 10. Social Networking Enterprise Wiki is a new repository site template that adds a number of features to the standard Wiki page including the ability to insert reusable content blocks, and customized page layouts.
  • 11. • Enterprise Content Management • Wiki Editing is now the default page editing experience for SharePoint 2010, providing an easy to use, rich-text experience. • Content Lifecycle Policies have undergone a major enhancement, allowing multi-phased retention and expiration policies to be defined for a site, content type or list. The out-of-box actions list now supports many additional options (beyond just delete) that includes moving, copying, making a record, and custom workflows. • Validation Rules can now be defined on fields and are applied at the object model, not the user interface level. Items created through code, script or the user interface can now have multi-field validation applied consistently. • Default Values are self describing and provide the ability to define intelligent default values on content items. Default values can also be location-aware, allowing default values to be defined down to the folder level.
  • 12. Enterprise Search Faceted Search provides refiners that allow users to add additional filters to search results, configured based on metadata, user context, location, and time periods. People Search Results have been improved, with results now appearing in a business card format.
  • 13. • Office Web Applications are finally available, with the Microsoft Office suite now offered as web-based extensions, allowing multi-user authoring and real-time collaboration. • Microsoft is positioning Office Web applications as an extension to the desktop experience, not a replacement, and the Office Web Applications CALs are included as part of a Microsoft Office desktop license.
  • 14. Solutions Development • Client Object Model (OM) is a subset of the SharePoint object model extended to client runtime environments including JavaScript, .NET and Silverlight variations. The Client OM provides unified and simpler access to SharePoint content. • Visual Studio 2010 Templates for just about every type of SharePoint custom artifact, the ability to develop visual web parts based on User Controls, and native support for solution packaging, deployment and debugging. • Silverlight Web Part that now natively supports Silverlight applications, including the ability to save Silverlight XAP applications as content in document libraries and render them in a Web Part. • RESTful Data Services for accessing SharePoint content items, and the ability to develop custom RESTful services based on ADO.NET Data Services and future support for WCF Data Services. The REST-based API includes support for returning results in both AtomPub and JSON formats. • InfoPath Forms are now natively integrated into the Ribbon UI for Lists and Libraries allowing custom list views to be easily created and publishing from InfoPath. The improved InfoPath Web Part now supports connections allowing InfoPath forms to consume and provide data to other Web Parts, and InfoPath now supports sand-boxed code-behind without requiring the form to be Administrator- approved. • Access Web Applications are a new capability in Access 2010 to create and publish browser-based Access applications that deploy as SharePoint site templates, and use native SharePoint lists for data storage. Applications can include custom forms, navigation and reports and can include custom scripts for data validation and application commands, actions and events.
  • 15. Ok, now it’s time for The 10 Best SharePoint Features You've Never Used (But Should)
  • 16. 1. Document Sets What are they? • Document Sets are like folders that contain multiple documents or files, allowing you to apply metadata and rules to the set of documents, as well as to each individual item inside. • Think of a Document Set as a Bill of Materials. • They enable an organization to manage a single deliverable, or work product, rather than needing to juggle several separate documents or files.
  • 17. • Document Set authors can: • Create new multi-document work products quickly and easily by using the New Document command in a document library. • Capture a version history snapshot of the current properties and documents within the Document Set. • Start workflows on the entire document set or individual items within the Document Set to manage common tasks such as review and approval. • E-mail a link to the Document Set. • Use the Send To command to move or copy the Document Set to another location (the destination must be configured within Central Administration). • Manage permissions for the Document Set.
  • 18. 2. Document IDs What are they? • A document ID is a unique identifier for a document or document set and a static URL that opens the document or document set associated with the document ID, regardless of the location of the document. • Provide a consistent way to reference items such as documents and document sets in SharePoint where URLs can break if the location of the item changes. • Creates a static URL for each content item with a document ID assigned to it. • Allows you to move documents or document sets at different points in the document life cycle. For example, if you create a document on a MySite or Workspace page and then publish it on a team site, the document ID persists and travels with the document, circumventing the broken URL problem. • Allows you to customize the format of the IDs that the service generate via the document management API, enabling custom document ID providers.
  • 19. Document IDs must be activated as a Site Collection feature, and then enabled
  • 20. You can configure some setting by going to Site Collection Settings >> Mange Document ID’s • To view it in a library, simply modify the view and include the attribute.
  • 21. You can view all of your Document IDs as a column • If you right click on the Document ID and select Properties, you can see the URL. Note that it is not an explicit path to the library – instead, it goes to the document ID Redirector, which finds the document wherever it has been moved.
  • 22. You can use the document ID Redirector in the DocCenter to find the document Note that for existing documents some action has to be taken on the document to cause a Document ID to be generated (like check-in/check-out.) Any new documents will have a Document ID generated on upload... Or you can go into Site Collection Administrator and force a timer job to stamp all the documents. Additionally, Document ID’s are indexed so you can search on the property DocID
  • 23. Another way to find the Document ID is in View Properties
  • 24. 3. Organizational Charts What are they? • Organizational Charts are a new Silverlight control available through MySites. • Provide a sleek new UI for team profiles. • Highlight the need to build out your user profiles (whether or not you enable the full capabilities of MySites)
  • 25. • For organizations that have their end users complete their user profiles, the organizational charts can be very helpful. They are found on the tabs on your MySite
  • 26. • The Silverlight control makes the traditional org chart visual and simple, with management chain above, peers on the side, and direct reports below, allowing end users to quickly identify contacts within an organization and better understand relationships.
  • 27. 4. “Ask me about” feature (user profile property) What is it? • On your MySite, the overview tab includes an “Ask Me About” web part that helps users in your organization find answers from people with the right answers. It’s a simple feature, but extremely effective at exposing skills and interests in a readily consumable format. • You can build your skills and interests from available keywords already stored in SharePoint or create new ones that are immediately available in the keyword store, such as industries, internal project names, or technical capabilities to help end users identify skill matches. • Once added, these terms are displayed on the overview tab, where you can click each one to find other users with similar traits.
  • 29. 5. Promoting (user-generated) tags to your taxonomy What is this? • As end users add tags / metadata to content, there is a need for proactive governance of the metadata, promoting terms into the managed taxonomy. Feature Create or delete term sets Add, modify or delete terms Arrange terms in hierarchies Define synonyms Import terms Promote managed keywords into managed terms Create multi-lingual taxonomies
  • 30. Groups represent defined security boundaries in terms of taxonomy governance. Multiple groups may be created within a Managed Metadata Service, with each Group having multiple Terms Sets. Management (create, edit, delete) of Group properties takes place here. • One or more Term Sets (up to 1,000) are defined as part of a Group. Term Sets can be created manually or imported through the interface. Management (create, edit, delete) of Term Set properties, including Term hierarchy, takes place here.
  • 31. Individual words or phrases are added to a Term Set with governance and proactive management (create, copy, reuse, merge, deprecate, move or delete)
  • 32. A copy of the term will be created within the original term set. Copy the term The new term will be named Copy of <original term name>. No child terms for the source term will be copied. Adds the reused term underneath the selected term in the tree view pane. Reuse a term You must have Contributor rights for the group for any term you want to reuse. The selected term, as well as any of its synonyms and translations, will be merged into the selected target term. The original IDs of each term are preserved so that tags that used the old term IDs still work for search (old IDs will not be available for new tagging). Merge a term with another Content tagged with the merged term will not be updated, but it will be returned in searches for the term that is the merge target. Terms can be merged only if they are siblings in the hierarchy in all term sets in which they both exist. To merge terms, you must have contributor rights to the groups for both terms. This action makes any instances of this term in any term set to which it belongs unavailable for tagging. Any child terms of the term are not deprecated. Deprecate a term To make the term available for use again, point to it, click the arrow that appears, and click Enable Term. Move a term Moves the selected term, and any child terms for that term, to the selected target location. Deletes the term and any child terms below it. If this term is a source term for terms that are reused in other locations, it will be placed in the Orphaned Terms term set in the System group. Delete a term If the term is a unique term (not reused in other locations), the term is completely deleted. If the term is a reused term, it removes the term from the current term set.
  • 33. 6. Conditional routing What is this? • SharePoint Server 2010 introduced metadata routing and storage by using Content Organizer. Content Organizer builds upon document routing features that were introduced in the Records Center site template in SharePoint 2007. • With Content Organizer, new site level features make it easier for administrators and users to classify, route, and store content by using rules based on metadata. • Instead of directly uploading a document to a library or folder, users can save, route, and automatically apply rules to a document.
  • 34. • To do some basic routing, you need to ensure the feature has been turned on. • Once activated, you'll see that the Site Administration section (in the Site Settings page) has a link for Content Organizer Settings and one for Content Organizer Rules.
  • 35. When you go back to the site, you'll also notice that a 'Drop Off Library' has been created. This is your document's point of entry. Once a document is placed in this Drop Off Library, the document will be checked against your rule and routed to its final destination
  • 36. In order to route the document, you’ll need to create your rule. Go to Site Actions > Site Settings. Under the Site Administration section, click on the Content Organizer Rules link. You will see a blank list. • Click the Add New Item link and a form will appear. Give your rule a name, select the content type that the rule will apply to, select the destination, and set the conditions – such as routing a document based on a value in a field, selecting the column from the dropdown provided and enter in the criteria.
  • 38. 7. Asset library What is this? • A digital asset is an image, audio, or video file, or other reusable rich content fragment that an organization uses in applications across the enterprise. The asset library in SharePoint Server 2010 enables users to easily create, discover and reuse existing digital assets within the organization. • In SharePoint Server 2010 you use an asset library to store and share digital assets with users. The asset library is a SharePoint Server 2010 library template that is customized to use content types designed specifically for storing and cataloging rich media assets.
  • 39. An effective solution for managing digital assets specifies: • The metadata to provide for each type of asset. • The amount of storage space that is required for the assets. • The performance issues to consider for serving the assets to users. • Where to store assets at each stage of the life cycle. • How to control access to an asset at each stage of its life cycle. • How to move assets within the organization as team members contribute to creation, review, approval, publication, and disposition of assets. • The policies to apply so that asset-related actions are audited, retained or disposed of correctly, and protected as necessary. • How assets are treated as corporate records, which must be retained according to requirements and corporate guidelines.
  • 40. • From the Create page, simply select Library and then Asset Library. Give it a name and click Create
  • 41. • Assets are presented visually, making them searchable by metadata, asset type, and other attributes. • Assets can be previewed
  • 42. 8. Aggregated calendar (with Outlook sync) What is this? • Teams can keep multiple calendars (up to 10) in sync by creating layers, allowing end users to see color- coded, overlapping activities. • Users can then sync calendars to Outlook, comparing their personal calendar side-by-side.
  • 43. • Within a site, edit the Group Calendar by changing the color of each entry.
  • 44. • Go to the target calendar where you want to provide the aggregated view, and within the ribbon, select Create Calendar Layer. You will be able to select each calendar view by URL.
  • 45. • These aggregate views must be recreated for each location in which you want the multiple views
  • 46. • You can also link to Outlook from within the context menu by selecting the option on the ribbon.
  • 47. 9. Personal views What are they? • Personal views allow you to easily find content that you use regularly. When you leave a page after sorting and filtering content, you lose all of your settings. • By creating a personal view (with the right permissions), you can organize your content the way you want to view it each time you visit the site. • When you create a view, you can configure the audience for the view to be personal or public. A personal view is available only to you when you look at the list or library. A public view is available when anyone looks at the list or library. • If you do not have permissions to create public views, the option to create one is grayed out, and you are able to choose only to create a personal view.
  • 48. • Create and modify your view by adding, removing, and sorting columns from an existing view and use it as your baseline.
  • 49. • You cannot change a personal view to a public view or a public view to a personal view. You can use a public view as the starting point for personal or public views. You can use a personal view as the starting point only for personal views. • When you create a view, if Create View is disabled you do not have the necessary permissions to create a personal or public view. If the Create a Public View option is disabled you do not have the necessary permissions to create a public view. • To create a personal view, you must have the contribute permission level for the list or library, such as by being member of the default site name Member group. To create a public view, you must have the design permission level for the list or library, such as by being member of the default Designer SharePoint group for the site.
  • 50. 10. Meeting workspaces What are they? • SharePoint workspaces provide direct bi-directional synchronization of library and list content between a SharePoint site and a workspace on an individual client computer. • Creation of a SharePoint workspace enables individual SharePoint users to check out and check in SharePoint library documents from their local computers, bring SharePoint documents and lists to their computers where they can work online or offline, and synchronize local content with a SharePoint site.
  • 51. • A Meeting Workspace is created by selecting the option on a new calendar items, allowing members of the event team to share documents and assets for the purpose of organizing the event, and is a great way to focus collaboration.
  • 52. • If your meeting materials — such as agendas, related documents, objectives, and tasks — are often scattered, a Meeting Workspace site can help you keep them all in one place.
  • 53. • The Meeting Workspace template is simple but effective in keeping your event content organized. At the end of an event, content can be saved off / archived to another location, and the workspace and unnecessary content deleted.
  • 54. Get the most out of OOTB • Before you spend any time on customizing SharePoint, understand what is possible out-of-the-box • If you’re worried about “learning” on your primary (production) system, look into test / temporary environments from Fpweb or CloudShare
