I’m going to continue from yesterday’s overview with a drilldown of how I created a customized list to handle the display of external video content. The problem we are trying to resolve is how to manage access to external video content that is not stored in SharePoint.

Christophe Humbert is supplementing his live online workshop, Visualizing Information in SharePoint, with three articles on his site.

If you need dynamically generated visualizations for your SharePoint data, please join us for the live online workshop this Tuesday at 1:00pm EST. We give you all the resources necessary to implement the graphics against your own data. Along the way, Christophe will explain how the graphics are generated so you can start creating your own immediately.

Christophe Humbert continues to refine his solutions for next week’s live online workshop, “Visualizing Information in SharePoint“. In the screencast below, we look at five examples of how the HTML Calc Column can be used to visualize information.
