This article describes how you can create a filtered lookup for SharePoint 2010. It is easy to use and no code is required to make it work.

Windows SharePoint Services already has a Contacts list feature built-in, but it only misses one thing: some form of quick search of contacts. So I made a search-as-you type functionality for WSS Contacts lists.

Although implementing a KPI dashboard like this one might look complicated it is not. By using the Data View Web Part you can create your own dashboards plus extras. The solution does not do anything special (only displays colorful icons) but your managers will love it.

Laura Rogers posted an interesting business requirement at Stump the Panel of End User SharePoint: Laura solved the problem with SPD workflow which sounds interesting. Laura, I can’t wait to see it. I took a different path and created a „non-code“ required web part to solve this.

The real problem here is email as communication channel. Email is a great tool, easy to use and everything. But the problem is that knowledge from each conversation is lost in a personal inbox. If the receiver does not forward the email to other team members he will be the only one able to solve the problem. This is where SharePoint kicks-in; in this article I am going to describe a simple procedure to automate the knowledge capture with SharePoint (WSS included).

If you have MOSS, you can use the information management policy settings in the document library. You can set it to: Modified Date + 6 months. Then, make it kick off a workflow at that point. Use an OOB one, or create your own “review” workflow that will “Collect data from a user” in the workflow.

The one I like the most is Accordion for QuickLaunch. It is a simple JQuery script that allows users to collapse and expand sections of a SharePoint QuickLaunch menu (the latest version even remembers the ones you expanded previously). Deploying Paul’s solution is really easy. You can paste the entire script to the Content Editor Web part, or deploy the pre-packed webpart that does that.

So, how to solve this problem? I wanted the ability to use folders in a document library, but I also wanted to have a valid sort order. I have been monitoring what Paul Grenier was doing with JQuery and I realized that this is a way to go. I developed a simple JQuery script and packed it as a web part. You just need to place it below your document library and you are good to go. This script is going to hide the default folder option from end users but folders and files in your document library will still be sorted in the correct way.

When it comes to SharePoint, the most important feature is the ability to manage your documents from a central location with all these cool features like versioning, permissions, workflows and stuff
