The basic functionality within the SharePoint interface is limiting when it comes to presenting graphical information. In a set of live online, upcoming workshops, we will present ways to display information with charts, graphs, and through animations, all without recourse to the server.

Christophe Humber and I just completed the first session of “Killer SharePoint Calendar Solutions”. I hadn’t seen some of the solutions before the workshop and was floored.

Sounds like a pretty reasonable suggestion and the Calendar lists NewForm.asx already sets the Start time to the current time – shouldn’t be too hard, right?

Christophe Humbert is refining the solutions he will provide in next week’s “Killer Calendars in SharePoint”. The screencast below is the first in a series of screencasts to show you the solutions implemented in the workshop.

A challenge with SharePoint for site managers, site administrators, or site owners is understanding their own role, it’s responsibilities, and what expectations come with being a ‘site owner, manager, or administrator’.

I was working on a mileage reimbursement project that required a user to associate travel mileage with a specific date. To make things easy for the user, I wanted to use a Calendar list so they could easily choose a travel date. That would also give me built-in date validation and makes things easier all around.

One of the things we cover in the live online Create a SharePoint Master Calendar workshop is how to reclaim the page space that a calendar sits on… hide the Quick Launch bar, title space and breadcrumbs… everything. Here a quick screencast on how we do it.
