Different Way Than Folders • Metadata Is Key • List and Library Views Make Life Easier • How Do You Want Your Information? • Personal Views • Anyone with Read Access Can Create • Only Creator Sees • Public Views • Created by Site Owner • Anyone with Read Access Can Access
View Options • Columns • Display Specific Columns in Any Order • Sorting • By Columns and By Two Levels • Filter • By Columns and Multiple Levels • Rules: Is Equal To, Is Not Equal To, Contains, Greater Than . . . • Conditions: And/Or • [Me] or [Today] • Group By • By Columns and Two Levels • Totals • Calculating Sum, Min, Max, Total, Average, Count for Field • Styles • Displaying Information Differently • Shaded/Preview Pane • Folders • To Show Folders or Not to Show Folders

Permissions! • Permissions are Inherited Out of the Box • Inherited = Parent & Child Have Same Permissions • Within the Site Collection • Top – Down Effect Through All Elements • Sites, Libraries/Lists, Documents/Items • Breaking Inheritance • Can Be Broken At Any Level • Parent Changes Are Not Reflected in Child
Best Practices With Permissions Apply Security Active Directory Group SharePoint Group
Looking Around The Site • View All Site Content/Site Content Is Your Friend • Displays Libraries/Lists and Sub-Sites • Displays the Item Counts • Displays Last Modified • Site Web Analytics/Most Popular • 2007 & 2010 • Page Views, Unique Visitors, Page View per Day – Good Reports • 2013 • Document Library – Most Popular Items • Detailed Reports With Excel
Site Settings • Features Can Be Enabled at Site Level • Site Actions/Settings > Site Settings > Site Actions Section> Manage Site Features • Suggest Talking with Administration What Should Have • Custom Site Columns & Content Types • Site Actions/Settings > Site Settings >Galleries Section • Custom Groups • Look for “Source” = Your Site Name
Library or List Settings • Content Types • Section Not Available By Default • If Not Seen, Then Using Default Content Type • Columns • Local Columns Will Display “Used In” As Document Content Type • Columns Associated to Content Type will Display Content Type Name • Views • Will Only See Public Views • Manage Files Without Checked In Version • Files Without Required Metadata • Files Uploaded and Not Checked In
Tools for SharePoint Permissions (SharePoint 2010 – 2013) • View Group Permissions • Use to View Permission Assignments of Group Within Site Collection • Group > Settings > View Group Permissions
Tools for SharePoint Permissions • Check Permissions • Check Permissions for User or Group • Found Site, Library/List, Document/Item Permissions • Show Uniquely Secured Content • A.K.A. – Broken Inheritance • Links to Areas That Have Unique Permissions

Local Navigation Changes • Local Navigation/Quick Launch/Left Hand Navigation • Used to Display More Content Than Home Page • By Default Organized by List, Library, and Pages • Best to Use Headers to Aggregate Content • Options Include • Site Settings > Look and Feel Section > Navigation • Add Heading • Moving Links • Hiding Links • Add Link
Easing The Pain of the View • Most Organization Live and Die on Folders • Folders Can Be Used For: • Permissions • Storage for Large Libraries • Folders Also • Increase the Length of the URL • Time Consuming To Get In and Out • Another Level of Permissions Nightmares • Need to Ease the Pain of Using Views • Create Admin View to Upload Into Folders • Everyone Else Sees the Non-Folder View Using Group By
Quickly Add Metadata • Column Default Value Settings • SharePoint 2010 & 2013 • Sets Default Value On a Folder • Documents Tagged Automatically with Default Value • Datasheet View or Quick Edit • SharePoint 2007-2010 Datasheet View • SharePoint 2013 Quick Edit • Edit The Columns Within That View In The Browser
