Microsoft Sharepoint
SharePoint Portal Server 2003 offers powerful integration,
collaboration, and customisation capabilities to help connect people, teams,
and knowledge.
SharePoint Portal Server 2003 is an enterprise portal that provides a central
place to access, manage, share, and interact with relevant information,
documents, applications and people for quicker and better decisions, effective
teaming, and streamlined business process through a familiar integrated user
experience and mainstream platform.
The following is a list of default features offered by SharePoint. However, as
with most web based applications the system is virtually limitless in its
functionality, it can be developed to your exact requirements.
Document Libraries
Create a document library when you have a collection of documents or other
files that you want to share. Document libraries support features such as
sub-folders, file versioning, and check-in/check-out.
Form Library
Create a form library when you have XML-based business forms, such as status
reports or purchase orders, that you want to manage.
Picture Libraries
Create a picture library when you have pictures you want to share. Picture
libraries provide special features for managing and displaying pictures, such
as thumbnails, download options, and a slide show.
Links
Create a links list when you have links to intranets, websites or other
resources that you want to share.
Announcements
Create an announcements list when you want a place to share news, status, and
other short bits of information.
Contacts
Create a contacts list when you want to manage information about people that
your team works with such as customers or partners. You can share information
between your contacts list and Windows SharePoint Services-compatible contacts
programs such as Microsoft Exchange, Outlook or Active Directory users.
Events
Create an events list when you want a calendar-based view of upcoming meetings,
deadlines, and other important events. You can share information between your
events list and Windows SharePoint Services-compatible events programs such as
Microsoft Exchange and Outlook.
Tasks
Create a tasks list when you want to track a group of work items that you or
your team needs to complete.
Issues
Create an issues list when you want to manage a set of issues or problems. You
can assign, prioritize, and follow the progress of issues from start to finish.
Custom Lists
Create a custom list when you want to specify your own columns. The list opens
as a Web page and lets you add or edit items one at a time.
Import Spreadsheet
Choose this if you have a spreadsheet that already contains the columns and
information that you want in your list. Once created, the list can be
synchronized with the original spreadsheet. Importing and synchronizing a
spreadsheet requires a SharePoint Services-compatible spreadsheet program such
as Microsoft Excel XP or later.
Discussions Boards
Choose this if you have a spreadsheet that already contains the columns and
information that you want in your list. Once created, the list can be
synchronized with the original spreadsheet. Importing and synchronizing a
spreadsheet requires a SharePoint Services-compatible spreadsheet program such
as Microsoft Excel 2002 or later.
Surveys
Create a survey when you want to poll other Web site users. Surveys provide
features that allow you to quickly create questions and define how users
specify their answers.
Web Parts
Create a Web Part Page when you want to add a Web page to this site that
displays one or more Web Parts. Web Parts provide an easy way to build powerful
Web pages that can show you information ranging from a view of a list in the
current site to the latest data from Web Services hosted around the world. Web
Part Pages even allow for Web Part personalization, ensuring each user sees
only the most relevant information.
Sites & Workspaces
Create a site or workspace when you want a new place for collaborating on Web
pages, lists, and document libraries. For example, you might create a site to
manage a new team or project, collaborate on a document, or prepare for a
meeting. You can specify the type of SharePoint site to create from a set of
available site templates.
