on Wednesday, November 30, 2011

Lists are great. Lists are a very simple, yet versatile way to keep track of things. For instance, a "To Do" list. This is probably the most generally used lists in the world. It seems so elementary but do not underestimate the power of a to do list. I can site many very foremost and wealthy population who would not fail to give mention to the significance of assosication straight through using simple tools such as "To Do" lists and calendars.

As I am sure you can gather, I am very fond of the fact that Sharepoint Services allows you to create individual lists for just about anyone you want.

The last list I created was a "Client List" so that my entire team could have a list of all of our current clients.

So, how do you create a list?

Let me break it down for you.

1. Log into your catalogue using login info that has admin possession attached to it.
2. Now, click on the "Site Actions" tab placed in the top right hand corner of your page.
3. When the drop down menu appears, click on the "create" tab.
4. Next you will be taken to a page that has a horizontal menu bar across the town of the page. Under the "Custom Lists" heading find the tab that is titled "Custom List" and click on it.
5. Now you will be taken to a page that asks you to title and spin the new list. Do that.
6. Once you have done this, you will scroll down and hit the "Create" tab.

And there you have it! You have now officially created your first Sharepoint Services practice list!

Now all you need to do is add items to your list!

Have fun!

Sharepoint Services - What is It?

Up until 6 months ago, the term Sharepoint Services was foreign to me. Shortly after I was introduced to the term, I was introduced to the actual program. When I was initially introduced to it, I was baffled. The agenda has so many features and so many capabilities that I was immediately overwhelmed. I felt as if I were standing at the bottom of Mt. Everest seeing up.

I then began to make my journey into Sp services the same way I would fantasize a climber would journey up Mt. Everest. One step at a time!

Now that I have come to be fluent in Sp, I feel it is my duty to make the process easier for others. Thus, I have authored a number of how to articles discussing the most important features. I think I missed an important step though. I have never written an article giving a brief article of what exactly Sharepoint Services is. Thus, the birth of this article.

So, what exactly is Sp services?

Let me account for this in the simplest terms possible.

If you can, photograph a bulletin board placed in the break room of your office. On this bulletin board there are a number of distinct sections. These sections consist of the following major categories:

o Team calendar/schedule
o Company announcements
o Tasks to be completed
o A reference sheet
o Employee touch information
o Free write section / blog
o Document Library

Now fantasize this bulletin board being accessible online. Privately, of course. Meaning that only authorized persons have passage to this information. This is essentially what Sharepoint Services is.

It is an online meeting platform that allows you to share an endless number of facts with team members all over the world.

There it is! A brief explanation of what exactly Sp is.

I hope this helped.
