MVP Ivan Sanders presents ECM: Creating Taxonomies and Managed MetaData in SharePoint 20104/23/2012 5:02 PM

 ECM: Creating  Taxonomies and Managed MetaData in SharePoint 2010

SharePoint MVP Ivan Sanders will present this ECM topic. For members who attended Ivan's previous session on Search or Christian Buckley's session on "The Connection Between Metadata, Social Tools, and Personal Productivity" in February, this is a great practical follow up.

This session discusses strategies and techniques for deploying taxonomies in SharePoint 2010 and also includes a discussion of how to jump-start a taxonomy project by using pre-built foundation taxonomies and automatic tagging capabilities or in place tagging so you don’t have to wait for your next migration or force management to use s spreadsheet to identify every document by using Boolean search not just synonyms as part of your Term Set. If you choose to oly use the Enterprise Keyword Settings on every document library I will give you a script to enable this feature on every document library. F you choose to use your own site columns I will provide a script that will make your Content Type the primary and apply it to every document library, then show how to modify the refiners so that you can drill through your results.

Need your input for March SPUG (prizes inside)2/24/2012 3:16 PM

Hi Everyone!

The San Fernando Valley SharePoint User Group will be held on March 14th, 2012. We’ll have a moderated roundtable discussion on several topics that are submitted by you! That’s right! Send us any of your SharePoint challenges, technical or business-related or any problems you’ve been unable to solve and we’ll discuss solutions. Please post in the meetup.com message board (click link).

Some examples and topic ideas are:
•         How can I convince my organization to enable social features or use MySites?
•         What’s the best way to do permissions in SharePoint (SharePoint Groups vs. Active Directory)?
•         Every day I come in to work, my User Profile Service is stopped. How can I troubleshoot this?
•         My end users need to create workflows, how can I allow them to do this? How do I  govern SharePoint Designer?

These are not the topic, just some ideas. We'll pick the best ideas from the ones you submit on the message board between now and March 9th, 2012.

If your topic is selected, you get a prize. We have the following prizes:

It is first come, first serve, so please head over to the message board, hit reply, and tell us about your problem:

SFV SPUG January Meeting: K2 presents Visio Services1/12/2012 12:13 PM

Please join us for this month's meeting!  K2 - Proud sponsor of the SFV SPUG will be kicking off the New Year with the following presentation: 

The SharePoint 2010 Platform has provided Information Workers with the ability to utilize common tools found within Microsoft Office to take data out of applications and surface it to the masses within SharePoint. 

In this talk we’ll explore 2 of the newest avenues for data visualization within SharePoint:

  • Visio Services
  • Excel utilizing PowerPivot.

Visio Services allows you to take the traditional boxes and arrows modeling of Visio and apply real-time business data against the model and making it readily accessible within SharePoint while PowerPivot harnesses the number-crunching power of Excel 2010 and allows for the easy deployment of rich reporting and dashboards into SharePoint.

Food and refreshments will be served (courtesy of Axceler)!
