Point Designer Team Blog Hi folks,Sean Gabriel here. I’m a Program Manager for the Share. Point Designer team, and I work primarily on our application building experience. I’m definitely looking forward to sharing my knowledge here – so if you have topics in the app building space that you’d like to see covered in this blog, don’t hesitate to ask. You may have heard of the Application Templates for Windows Share. Point Services 3. Share. Point site templates that are designed to solve 4. I had the pleasure of building one of these templates myself, and I want to show you how to do it using Share. Point Designer 2. The best way to understand it is to download it and try it out yourself, but here’s a quick overview of how it works: Two types of users can visit the site, instructors and students (learners). When an instructor has a class to teach, he/she adds it to the Courses list, specifying things like the date, location, and number of available seats. Students can then browse through the list of upcoming courses and sign up for anything they are interested in – and the app keeps track of the registration list, reminds users when a class is soon to start, and collects student feedback after the class is over. At a glance, both students and instructors can view a personalized dashboard of their trainings on the site’s home page. These behaviors are achieved through the use of workflow and a few specialized instances of the Data Form Web Part (DFWP). Here’s the battle plan for how we’ll build out the app: Design the key lists – Courses, Registrations, etc. So today let’s walk through the list design to set us up for building the DFWPs next time. List Schema Design. If you browse to “View All Site Content” on the training site, you’ll see the following list of lists: The heart of this app is the Courses list. A course is a lot like an appointment – which has a title, location, start and end time, etc. On your blank Share. Point site (you’re following along, right?) do the following: Click on Site Actions > Create.
Choose Calendar under the Tracking column. Name it “Courses” and supply a description. Share. Point has taken care of providing us the calendar- like view that you see in the training site under “Upcoming courses” (sidenote: and this works because Courses are now using the Calendar content type). But the schema isn’t quite right yet. Let’s tailor our new list around courses specifically – so, from the calendar view where you are now: Click on Settings > List Settings. Click Create Column for each line item below, and fill in the following info (use defaults unless specified). Instructor” : : Person or Group : : OK“Filled Seats” : : Number : : Yes to Required : : Min 0 Decimals 0 Default 0 : : OK“Total Seats” : : Number : : Yes to Required : : Min 0 Decimals 0 Default 0 : : OKClick on the name of each existing column and modify it as specified. Title : : Rename to “Course Title” : : No to Required : : OKDescription : : Rename to “Course Description” : : OKNow our Courses list has an instructor associated with it, and placeholders for calculating the number of available seats in the class (which we’ll get to later). Don’t worry about the views on this list yet, we’ll be going over those next time as well. Since I walked you through the Courses list in detail I’ll trust you to be able to follow quickly through the rest of the lists. Next up is Course Materials, which will hold any documents related to the courses. Sounds like a document library works, but each doc will need a pointer back into the Courses list so we know which course it’s associated with. Here’s how to do it: Click Site Actions > Create : : Document Library. Name it “Course Materials” and suppy a description, we used “Microsoft Office Power. Point presentation” as the doc template. Customizing the Display of a SharePoint 2010 Blog. Never edit the default files without making a copy. Click Settings > Document Library Settings. Add column “Course” : : Lookup : : Yes to Required : : Get information from Courses : : In this column Course Title : : OKWe also want to collect course feedback from students after they’ve taken the class. Here you can be as broad or specific as you want, but these are the steps for creating the Course Surveys list you see in the training site today: Click Site Actions > Create : : Custom List. Name it “Course Surveys” and supply a description. Click Settings > List Settings. Click Title : : Rename to “One- line review” : : No to Required : : OKAdd column “In- depth review” : : Multiple lines of text : : OKAdd column “Course” : : Lookup : : Yes to Required : : Get information from Courses : : In this column Course Title : : OKAdd the following 3 columns as. We’ll enforce the seating requirement both in the front- end views and back- end workflow. So for now, lay the foundation with this Registrations list: Click Site Actions > Create : : Custom List. Name it “Registrations” and supply a description. Click Settings > List Settings. Click Title : : No to Required : : OKAdd column “Course ID” : : Lookup : : Yes to Required : : Get information from Courses : : In this column Course ID : : OKNow do the exact same thing to create the Past Registrations list (but change the name, of course). From here you can create the (optional) Announcements and Links lists, which you’ll find in Site Actions > Create under the Communications and Tracking columns, respectively. Well done! You now have the 7 lists that house all the data in the Employee Training Scheduling and Materials site. The 8th list (Tasks) will be on its way shortly, as next time I’ll show you how to create the workflows for registration and reminders I mentioned earlier. That’s the key to providing rich application logic behind our Share. Point site here. Until then –Best,Sean.
