9. Design… …will help drive adoption. Make your SP sites LOOK GOOD! http://www.surl.org/usabilitynews/112/aesthetic.asp
10. Design… “users rated the sites with high appeal as more interesting, easier to use, easier to navigate, more accurate, more trustworthy, and overall more satisfying than the low appeal site…even though the site they were using was manipulated to have poor usability” http://www.surl.org/usabilitynews/112/aesthetic.asp
11. Who’s a pretty site? Invest in design as Sharepoint out of the box is very SharePoint-y Create themes for sharepoint in PowerPoint and save as .thmx file Upload to Sharepoint Themes gallery

30. Search SP from your desktop (Windows 7) Download search connector: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff899315.aspx#BKMK_O14AsAFedProvider “Add” search connector Begin searching!

32. Turn on and use managed metadata… …makes search more reliable and results more relevant ….more on this later…

34. Globally managed metadata Turn on global managed metadata in Central Administration. From there you create managed term sets that can be used in the managed metadata columns in a list or library. Across ALL site collections
35. Synonyms Can designate synonyms, but can also use to semantically link items Your “budget” used to be part of your “planning” document “budget” and “planning” can be semantically linked
37. Dropbox Can create a global drop off library and create rule(s) to automatically route documents to specific libraries based on type, metadata* Easier, more efficient for staff *required SP’s managed metadata service be running
38. We go together… Take advantage of the “document sets” feature Allows you to act on a group of documents as a whole* Example: presentation to library board PowerPoint Word document Spreadsheet Applies to: Version Control Security Metadata Workflows
39. Security versus theme When in doubt group documents from a business (or end user) perspective, not a security one Semantics trump security If need be you CAN set item level permissions Though best practice is to not do too much of that
