Book Review Walk-through creating a book review process. Step 1 – Create Book Review Content Type Step 2 – Create Custom Form using Data Form Web Part Step 3 – Use SharePoint Designer Workflow to calculate total number of reviews Step 4 – Expose book list using a Content Query Web Part (CQWP) But first, lets go over what was already created so we can get a better idea of what needs to be done…
Book Content Type and Associated Lists Book Content Type • Author • Publisher • ISBN • Number of Pages • Number of Reviews • Book List • Contains all books available for review • Grade List • List that contains letters A-D, F for use with rating book
Content Types • Set of characteristics, such as a document template, workflow process, and properties, that uniquely define a document. • Associate site columns • Workflows • Can be used in search and search web parts • K={ContentType} • Content Query Web Parts • Create new items in document library/list
Data Form Web Part • Ability to view, edit, or add content to a list or document library • Customize form rather than using OOB DispForm.aspx, EditForm.aspx, NewForm.aspx • Pull data from multiple sources (ie. multiple lists or document libraries)
SharePoint Designer Workflows • Windows Workflow Foundation • Part of .NET 3.0 Framework • Development includes creation of activities • Common usage include approvals, help desk, change management • SharePoint Designer Workflows • Created without having to write any code • Utilizes a wizard that allows a user to add conditions and activities • SharePoint Designer associate complete workflows with a single library or list
Content Query Web Parts • Prerequisites • Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) • Publishing site • Why use them? • Show data from a list that is from other sites • Filter or group data from that list • Pull data from numerous sources and filter based off content type
InfoPath Demo • Provide an Introduction to InfoPath and SharePoint • Design and publish an InfoPath form to Collect Data for returning an item • Simple approval workflow using filled out form
Brief Introduction to InfoPath InfoPath 2007 • Client application is part of Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise Edition • Designed to allow quick development of data entry forms • Can be used in SharePoint as the template for a forms library • Template forms are new in InfoPath 2007 InfoPath Form Services • Allows browser enabled forms to be published to SharePoint • Eliminates the need for InfoPath to be installed on each user’s computer • A few features are not available on browser enabled forms • Not all SharePoint installations come with Form Services
Calendar View Filter • Available in WSS 3.0 or MOSS • Must have calendar list populated • Useful for both SharePoint pages as well as integrating with Outlook
