The Challenge • RG manages all sorts of events at the SOFMC arena • Hockey Games • Concerts • Marty the Marmot Appearances • RG wishes to view all events in a single calendar but also to view the data sliced and diced to suit • Need access to it for all staff
The Answer A calendar view in SharePoint Individual, customized Event Content Types
Planning Calendar List or Custom List? Gather requirements for each ‘event’ Implement Test
What are Content Types? SITE Columns • PO Number • Vendor • PO Approval Status • Etc. Template IRM Information Rights Management Purchase Order • PO’s Cannot be Printed • PO’s Do Allow Cut/Paste • Etc. Workflows • PO Approval Routing • Etc.
Where should I put them? • Placement is important (‘top down’ only) • Great for reusable content
Inventory • We Need… • Custom List • Content Types (2 to start) • Site Columns (reuse some, create others)
Tweaking the Presentation Custom Views Calendar Overlays Rock it with Dashboards
What Might We have done differently? Content Type Hub Managed Metadata Service …SharePoint 2010 Server only though
