“As a SharePoint-based company, a big part of our mission is to help other companies get the most value out of SharePoint,” notes instructor Kevin Pine. “We do that through classes, consulting, software add-ons, and these free training videos. Our new ‘SharePoint 101 – What Makes SharePoint Work’ series is another step in that mission. The series provides rich, practical content – helping those new to SharePoint understand some of its most important concepts. Through these videos, the viewer will also get the flavor of the SharePoint Solutions classroom experience, and a glimpse of the quality instruction that we provide.”
Here is what the viewer can expect in these first two free videos from the “What Makes SharePoint Work” series:
SharePoint 101 – What Makes SharePoint Work
Using Metadata in Libraries
This one-hour training video is a great introduction for those new to SharePoint. Dump that inefficient and ineffective labyrinth of folders and learn how to tag, categorize, and identify documents with metadata. You will also learn how to filter, sort, group and present views of just the right documents to just the right people, where and when they need to see them. Understanding the concepts of lists, columns, and views is key to making SharePoint work in your organization.
Watch this video if you:
- are planning the folder structure for organizing your documents
- have already created folders for organizing your documents
- know someone who is using folders to organize documents
SharePoint 101 – What Makes SharePoint Work
Using Site Columns and Content Types
This 40-minute training video is a great introduction to the concepts of site columns and content types. Site columns are fairly easy to understand and to conceive of ways to apply. The concept of Content Types is a bit tougher to understand, and this video shows you when and how to create and use both site columns and content types.
Watch this video if you:
- are new to SharePoint (and have watched “SharePoint 101 – Using Metadata in Libraries”)
- are not taking advantage of the power of site columns
- need an introduction to using content types
