Quite being so damn polite! Tell us what you really want and stick to it. Everyone will be better off for it.

The great thing about the DVWP is that it’s just XSL. XSL is what tells the browser what to draw in HTML, so you can go in and remove any of the columns you don’t want the user to filter by.

We have seen that the job can be done with SharePoint out-of-the-box tools; creating the list and library with the fields we need, and doing a simple workflow with SharePoint Designer.

As with any of the lists or libraries in SharePoint, the task list can be enhanced to do anything you’d like it to do by adding custom columns (fields) and removing others. Think of the default task list as a simple template to build from.

SharePoint Saturday: The Challenge of Unstructured Content, Concepts and Terminologies, Taxonomy and ECM Adoption Techniques, Why should Taxonomy matter to me

Recently I’ve been involved in the development of a SharePoint 2007 solution using InfoPath and Forms Services. The purpose of the solution was collection of employee questionnaire data using one of several forms designed as a multi-page survey. 

SharePoint consists of several elements that provide for the creation, management, presentation, and disposition of information involved in an organization’s operations. One such element, the SharePoint List, is oh-so-simple, yet so incredibly important and powerful. Here are a quick set of best practices for the creation and management of lists that will provide for the definition, capture, and sharing of your desired groupings of information.

In my previous post I introduced a small script to extend the Edit Control Block (ECB) of list items and documents. The added menu items in the ECB allow users to update certain metadata fields for that item or document. The cool thing is that everything is happening in the background with the help of jQuery, even the actual updating of the data. The result: no postbacks or full page loads, pure AJAX goodness just like showcased in the SharePoint 2010 sneak peek videos. Today I’m releasing a new and improved version of the script, based on your feedback.

The Project and Requirements Form does not have to be complex, just gathering the basic information needed. In most cases, the business problem being addressed and the proposed solution are the initial pieces of information gathered. Follow along as we create this form and publish it to a site for use by anyone.

What that really means is that InfoPath is a powerful set of tools that you can use to accomplish all of those things and more. When you combine InfoPath, MOSS 2007 (Enterprise), and SharePoint Designer, you have the ability to create solutions quickly and without writing any code.
