| Working with SharePoint Security Groups | The built in SharePoint security groups are explored in this video – Owners, Members, Visitors and Viewers. It is shown how the user experience changes when you add them to one or more of these groups. Also, some best practice guidance is provided to help you get started with these groups. | 6:34 |
| Creating Document Sets | SharePoint 2010 introduced the concept of Document Sets. A document set is just what it sounds like – a set or package of documents defined as one entity. For example, a loan mortgage application packet could be considered a document set within which you would have individual documents such as personal information, existing properties you own, loan rate declaration etc. Each of these documents could be of any type, but together they make up the document set. This video shows the process of creating a new document set from scratch. | 17:17 |
| Managing Permission Levels | A Permission Level can be thought of as a security role (such as Contribute, Design, Read). Users or SharePoint Groups are assigned to a security role to give them access to that security level. Permission levels are defined at the top level site of a site collection. | 9:58 |
| Creating a Custom Site Template | A custom site template can be created as a starting point for creating future sites. A site template can contain lists, libraries, pages, and even content. | 7:49 |
| Creating Custom List Templates | Lists are created using list templates. Aside from the built in list templates, you can create your own list templates as well so designers and administrators of a site can then use that template to make additional lists. When a list template is saved, it saves the list’s schema. You can also save the content of the list with the list template as well. | 6:01 |
| Exporting List and Site Templates to other Site Collections | List templates and site templates can be transferred from one site collection to another. Once you transfer a template to another site collection, it’s available for you to make sites or lists based on that template. | 6:25 |
| Setting up a Portal Site Connection | Each site collection stands on its own and does not have a link to other site collections. However, it is a requirement many times to create one general Portal which ties all the site collections together. The Portal Site Connection functionality can be used for this requirement. In addition, this functionality can help users of My Sites tie their site to a central Portal as well. | 4:53 |
| Use Managed Metadata for navigating Documents | Managed metadata can be defined as your taxonomy at the site collection level. You can use this metadata to tag documents in a library. Then these tagged documents can be filtered using the metadata navigation settings at the library level. | 8:27 |
