A common topic that is asked about in SharePoint, is how to roll up information from sub-sites to a top level site, and just generally how to show data from one site on another site. There are different methods and 3rd party tools that can be used, but here is a simple way to create a roll-up, that you can do yourself, using the data view web part, and a tiny bit of code. I’m not a developer, I swear! In this 5 minute screencast, I’ll show you the fundamentals behind creating your own rollup.

Yes, the title is a mouthful, but if you’ve got a half hour, this is a fun session. Michael Gannotti, Laura Rogers, Mike Watson, Joel Oleson and I take a quick stab at what we saw this week and try to put it into perspective. For those who couldn’t attend SPC09, you can hear the excitement in the voices as we discuss what we discovered and the people we met.

For this week, what follows is a list of workshops in November and December. Clicking on the links will send you to the description of the workshop, and offer you the chance to register.

Using SharePoint Designer and your very own WSS sandbox, you will learn how to create a data view web part that will be placed on the welcome page for your site, which will allow end users to type in and submit feedback immediately. Again, this approach uses absolutely no code, and requires no programming skills. This solution is applicable in WSS and/or MOSS environments.

In this three hour, live online, hands-on workshop, you’ll implement a full solution for Health Care Case Management in SharePoint.

Time to put the teaching chops back on after a week of leading “Train the Trainer”. We’ve got three live online workshops this week, including two of our most popular and a brand new solution by Laura Rogers.

In SharePoint, the default behavior of a links list is to open each link in the same browser window. Sometimes it becomes necessary to create a list of links that, when clicked, will each open up in a new browser window. Usually this type of functionality is requested when the links are to external web sites, that are outside of the SharePoint environment. We don’t want users to accidentally navigate away from SharePoint and not know how to get back. In this screencast, you will learn how to create a data view web part of a list of links that will open in a new browser window. This functionality is not limited to “Links” lists in SharePoint, and can be utilized any time hyperlinks are being created in any type of data view web parts. Towards the end of this screencast, I quickly zip through exporting and importing the web part from one page to another.
