Kif mitlub u wiegħed, I’ve uploaded my presentation on how to obtain "great" requirements from end users for SharePoint projects and implementations. It’s here: http://cid-1cc1edb3daa9b8aa.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/SharePoint/Paul% 20Galvin% 20Great% 20Requirements.zip

I ppreżentat dan fil-SharePoint Best konferenza Prattiki fil Frar 2009 (www.sharepointbestpractices.com). If you attended the conference, inti ser tirċievi wkoll dan fuq il-DVD konferenza.

The presentation includes a lot of notes with most slides. It’s not just bullet points.

Kontroll Behavior Workflow mal Listi Custom (Għal darb'oħra)

Ħalli Risposta

Aktar kmieni dan ix-xahar, I jitqiegħdu flimkien artikolu oriġinarjament maħsuba għall Mark Miller www.endusersharepont.com. Madankollu, I minflok użati bħal Dustin Hoffman użat salib fl-aħħar ta 'l- Il-Gradwati fend off tiegħi (tal-biża! friendly!) editur TechTarget.

Dan huwa pass ieħor SharePoint Designer workflow artikolu bl-istess mod bħal sforz aktar reċenti tiegħi hawn: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/?p=1226 ("Use Control Lists to Create Flexible Workflow Solutions").

Huwa jibda bħal dan:

Qatt xtaq inti tista 'temporanjament jiskonnettja Designer SharePoint workflow? Inti tista 'tixtieq li tagħmel dan sabiex' tapprova massa numru kbir ta 'dokumenti mingħajr tpaċija għexieren - jew possibilment mijiet - ta' flussi tax-xogħol bla bżonn.

Mod wieħed biex dan jintlaħaq huwa li aċċess għall-workflow użu Share-Punt Designer u jneħħiha. Biex tagħmel dan, ikollok bzonn li jiftħu SharePoint Designer, aċċess għall-workflow, tbiddilx il-proprjetajiet tiegħu u jerġa 'isalvawh. Il-problema li metodu hija li huwa lottijiet messy u li x'aktarx li ring ftit ta 'qniepen allarm fil-aktar kumpaniji.

B'mod ġenerali, fiddling madwar ma workflows Designer SharePoint mhix prattika tajba f'ambjent produzzjoni, lanqas ma hija parti minn proċess ikkontrollat ​​tajjeb.

The article then walks you through a solution to this problem that uses a custom list to turn the WF on or off as needs dictate. Aqra l-ħaġa sħiħa hawn (http://wp.bitpipe.com/resource/org_1127860336_240/SharePoint_vol5_v6% 201_16.pdf).

Dan l-artikolu kienet ispirata minn mistoqsija magħmula fuq il-forums hawn: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/. Għalkemm I jqattgħu ħafna iktar ħin fuq il-forums MSDN, I jirrakkomanda bil-qawwa li għandek Peek fil-forum EUSP kif ukoll, particularly for end user oriented questions. It’s yet another source of good information and advice.

Uża Control Lists li toħloq soluzzjonijiet Workflow flessibbli

Ħalli Risposta

Last week, Mark Miller posted my latest SharePoint Designer workflow article for end users on his site (http://www.endusersharepoint.com/?p=1226).

Huwa jibda bħal dan:

We technical types use a lot of jargon and acronyms in our daily routine such as “OOP” (object oriented programming), “CT” (Tipi Kontenut), “SPD” (SharePoint Designer), “RTFM” (please read the manual), eċċ. This article concerns itself with a particular bugaboo called “hard coding:” What it is, why it’s bad and how to avoid it in SharePoint designer workflow solutions.

I describe how we can use custom lists to store workflow control and configuration data. Using this approach, we can avoid hard coding values such as approvers’ email addresses, approval dollar limits, eċċ.

Iċċekkjaha.

Governanza u SharePoint Fittex – Huwa Qatt m'hu tard wisq biex Bidu

Ħalli Risposta

I kiteb artikolu (http://searchwinit.techtarget.com/tip/0, 289483, sid1_gci1345231_mem1, 00.html #) għal SearchWinIT.com on governance as it relates to SharePoint Search. It’s not in my usual "voice" but that’s editing for you 🙂

Hawnhekk huwa kif jibda:

Għalkemm kważi kull aspett ta 'SharePoint jistgħu jibbenefikaw minn pjan ta' governanza b'saħħitha, MOSS 2007’s enterprise search functionality benefits most of all.

Bħall-partijiet kollha ta 'SharePoint, hemm aħbar tajba u aħbar ħażina dwar il-governanza. Għal ħafna organizzazzjonijiet, l-aħbar ħażina hija li huwa estremament diffiċli li jinkorporaw pjan ta 'governanza fejn jeżisti xejn.

Iżda hawn l-aħbar tajba: Tista 'malajr kkonfigurat u ttejjeb fuq tfittxija intrapriża fi kważi kwalunkwe ħin. U meta inti jimplimentaw pjan ta 'governanza għat-tiftix intrapriża, tista 'tara riżultati immedjati.

Waħda mill-problemi ma SharePoint u governanza hija li l-kumpaniji spiss nikseb irkoppa-fond fil SharePoint bl-ebda pjan governanza u billi allura, there’s no easy path forward to solve it. No so with Search. Read the article to get my thoughts on that subject.

Preżentazzjoni FAST jmiss, L-Erbgħa 01/28, Nofsinhar EDT

1 Irrispondi

I’ll be doing my first ever online presentation hosted by the mighty EMC marketing machine at 12:00 noon EDT on Wednesday, 01/28. I have no idea what to expect from this, in terms of attendance. Madankollu, since I’m leading it, I can tell you what to expect if you make time for it.

I’m going to be describing what we here at EMC mean when we talk about "Enterprise Search." I’m distinguishing between regular old SharePoint Search (which is quite useful by itself) and Enterprise Search, which is a much bigger, nastier, interesting and perplexing problem to solve.

I’m going to make the argument that FAST is a good tool to use while trying to solve the Enterprise Search problem (and I make some analogies to canals while I’m at it). This obviously ties into SharePoint and will be a part of the community’s fabric over the course of 2009 and beyond. That’s the hook for anyone reading my blog here.

If you’re interested in FAST, I think you’ll find enough useful information to justify the time spent listening to me talk about it.

It’s a marketing presentation, but all of the marketing stuff is at the end, so you can always drop off at that point.

The mighty EMC marketing machine has provided me with a signup link, so please use it to register.

Self-Service Site Creation Isn’t Exactly About Creating Sites

6 tweġibiet

Like many SharePoint consultant types, I’ve been exposed to a lot of SharePoint functionality. Some times, I dive pretty deep. Other times I just notice it as I’m flying by to another set of menu options. One of those is "self-service site creation." I haven’t had a need for it until this week.

Din il-ġimgħa, I need to solve a business problem which I think is going to become more common as companies loosen up and embrace more direct end user control over SharePoint. F'dan il-każ, I’ve designed a site template to support a specific end user community. Folks in this community should be able to create their own sites at will using this template whenever the urge strikes them.

I recalled seeing "self-service site creation" before and I’ve always tucked that away in the back of my head thinking that "self service site creation" is SharePoint lingo meaning, obviously enough, something like "turn me on if you want end users to be able to create sites when they want to."

Allura, I turn it on, try it out and for me, it’s not creating sites. It’s creating site collections. Pretty big difference. That’s not what I want, not at all.

It is possible to let end users create new sub sites via a custom permission level. This is exactly where I would have gone in the first place except that the label "self-service site creation" label deceived me. Via twitter, I learn that it’s deceived others as well 🙂

I’m still working out how to provide a little bit of a more streamlined process while staying purely out of the box, but there’s a definite path to follow. Just don’t get distracted by that label.

Taħdit fi New York SharePoint Developers Grupp Laqgħa

Ħalli Risposta

I’ll be presenting at the New York SharePoint Developers group meeting in New York at the Microsoft Offices on 6th Ave on Tuesday, 01/27 fil 6:00 PM (just over a week from now!).

Sign up here.

It’s going to be a technical presentation where I walk through the process of creating a custom workflow action that can be packaged and installed into a SharePoint environment and used by SharePoint Designer to create declarative workflow solutions.

Think this: http://www.codeplex.com/spdactivities

I’ll do a little evangelizing as I go along, making the case that developers should really think hard about the benefits of this kind of effort. it goes something like this: Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, build him a custom workflow action and he can design and implement his own business process for finding fish (or any other food!) and leave the developers alone to do the heavy duty complex programming that developers are best at doing.

It’s obviously a developer oriented session, but I do encourage curious end users and admins to show up. Even though the specific process of creating a custom action is targeted directly at developers, the meta conversation about one is not.

I hope to see you there.

A Web Proxy Server Ppruvaw Stop Me Mill Installazzjoni Windows Workflow Fondazzjoni, Imma I Defeated Hija

1 Irrispondi

I’m working at a client site and needed to install windows workflow foundation so that I could so some SharePoint Designer work. (Ma kontx naf sal-lum li SPD jinstalla multa imma verament jeħtieġ mill-inqas. NET 2.0 u Windows Workflow Fondazzjoni biex ikunu verament użabbli; I dejjem jassumi dawn kienu installati flimkien mal SPD, imma I kienet żbaljata).

The client has a proxy server. No problem, I have credentials to get outside to the public Internets. I go to the usual place to download WWF (SPD jgħin tawni rabta). That download is really a bootstrap of sorts. It runs and figures out what else it needs to download. That second download process failed. It either does not try at all, or is somehow prevented from asking for proxy server credentials. It was a pretty hard crash, tagħti me-messaġġ:

Microsoft. Qafas NET 3.0 has encountered a problem during setup. Setup did not complete successfully.

I ppruvaw li reboot u jintefqu 10 seconds trying to figure out if I could get it to ask me for proxy server credentials. I gave up and went here instead: .Qafas NET 3.5 Service Pack 1 (Pakkett sħiħ).

I jitniżżel dak il-pakkett, installat u dan iż-żmien, il-problemi.

Bl-użu rifletturi fuq Microsoft.SharePoint.dll

Ħalli Risposta

Redgate .NET Reflector Michael Blumenthal ikun imqiegħed artiklu dwar allerti u l-fehmiet ("Which views can be used when Creating an Alert ?"), which is interesting on its own merits. Madankollu, I was even more interested to see how he methodically walks through the process of using Redgate’s .NET Reflector. Step by step, he shows how to use that tool track down how SharePoint determines whether a view on a list should be "subscribable" għal nuqqas ta 'kelma aħjar (he explains this much better than I do 🙂 ).

F'dan il-punt fl-era SharePoint, you’d almost have to be deaf and blind to have not heard or read about using that tool. It’s advanced stuff and my own sense is that it’s in many ways a tool of last resort. Madankollu, jekk taħseb li għandek bżonn iżda ma verament jafu kif, Michael write-up tidher qisha tutorja kbira fuq dan is-suġġett.
