Managing Lists
I’ve got my head down this week, teaching End User SharePoint live online to Southeast Asia all night and then going to California to teach for the following two weeks. I’m still continuing work on the Document Management Center screencasts, but they will be a little less frequent until things settle down.
In the meantime, there are two very good posts available regarding list management. The first, by Sahil Malik is called Performing joins between SharePoint lists, and is a solution to a problem that comes up daily in SharePoint. You’ll need SharePoint Designer for his solution, but it looks really good. I’ll screencast it the next chance I get.
A couple days ago, Bob Mixon walked through the process of Working with SharePoint Events Lists. He starts with a quick walkthrough of connecting a SharePoint list to Outlook, but then the real stuff follows: using OOTB SharePoint to manage the Events content type. Take a look, you’ll be glad you did.
Talk to you soon. Don’t forget your End Users. They are your first line evangelist.
Thanks for the pointer to the post about joining items in SharePoint. There are other ways of doing this if you’re skilled with XSLT. However, Sahil’s post will answer the question for the majority of users out there! Great tip!
