SharePoint: Extending the DVWP – Part 25: Using an Audit Trail by Creating List Items with SPServices

The grammar of SharePoint consists of knowing the components of the environment: sites and subsites; lists, document libraries, and surveys; content types and site columns; list items, columns and their types; webparts, jQuery, and workflows. Grammar increases our knowledge; we are able to converse in the vocabulary of SharePoint.

Of course, you’ll need SharePoint Designer to create the workflow.

MOSS 2007 has the capability of creating KPI lists however you need the Enterprise version in order to use this functionality.
