Become your company’s SharePoint Superstar in less than two hours

Become Your Company’s SharePoint Superstart! is a special , live on-line session for SharePoint Power Users, the ones with all the responsibility and no authority to touch the servers. You know who you are.

“Please manage the site so that it looks really good, is highly functional and, oh by the way, don’t touch the Master Pages and whatever you do, don’t even THINK about SharePoint Designer.” Does this sound familiar?

Using the techniques shown in this workshop, you will be able work a little black magic on some basic interface problems without help from IT or access to the SharePoint server.

Here are a few things you will be able to do at the conclusion of the workshop:

  • Control the Quick Launch display… tweak, collapse and hide
  • Let users manage the interface with the click of a button
  • Hide major chunks of the interface that are just not needed on some pages
  • Allow manual resizing of web parts on the page
  • Expand and contract all groups in a list
  • Manage your own resources for creating other basic, interface interactions

You don’t need to be a programmer. You don’t need to be a super geek to get this stuff to work. You just need to have the right tools and know what to do with them. That’s what we’ll provide.

You get your own SharePoint sandbox so you can crash our site instead of your production server. You get ready to import web parts that will immediately help manage a page’s interface. You get hands-on, step-by-step demos and instructions for implementing each of the techniques shown.

As if that’s not enough, we’ll record the entire session and you will have access to the on-demand recording at the conclusion of the workshop.

I think between me and Paul Grenier, we’ll show you some things that will make your jaw drop and impress the hell out of your End Users. No kidding… Give us an hour and a half of your time on Friday and you’ll walk away as your company’s next SharePoint Superstar!

Your hosts for this special, live online session are Mark Miller, Founder and Editor of EndUserSharePoint.com and Paul Grenier, Author and Moderator of Stump the Panel: SharePoint Q&A.

    I would love to attend, but I have a conflict. Any other options?

  2. Michael – This looks to be pretty popular. We sold 50% of the tickets in the first 24 hours. I’m pretty sure we’ll do it again in late Februrary. — Mark

    Hi, I administer our Secondary Schools MOSS solution and one of the areas that interests me most at present is the collapsable quick launch toolbar. We have an overall Site Collection for the school with 4 subsite collections for Parents, Governors, Students and Staff. I have managed to tweak the default.master for all of the other site-collections with the exception of the staff:

    The changes made are simply to ensure that the StaticDisplayLevels value is 1 and that the MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels is also 1. Can you shed any light on why this would not be working for this site collection, I know it is a long shot but I felt the need to ask.

    If you use a different method of achieving this aim, any assistance on how it is done would be much appreciated.

    regards

    Chris
