The Basics of Content Types: A Beginner’s Primer
Yesterday’s workshop, Create a Master Calendar in SharePoint, used Content Types to help drive exposure of specific events for pseudo sub-calendars. As much as anything else, many people in the workshop were fascinated with the possibilities of using Content Types to manage information structures.
I’m going to publish a series of articles over the next two weeks on the subject: The Basics of Content Types. This will lead up to a hands-on, hour and a half online workshop dealing exclusively with Content Types.
As usual, seating will be limited to the first 20 registrants, so if you need this one, I recommend you register right away. Hey, what else are you going to do, two days before Thanksgiving?
I am interested in learning about using master calendar in SharePoint. In the Accounting department we have many people with different deliverables which are interdependent. We manage deliverables and the status now in multiple speadsheets. We need a better way.
Also, I still owe you a note about the process you built for us in our Revenue site to track our deal reviews. It is working great! I will try to get this to you by the end of next week.
