Leveraging the Current User Filter:

The current user filter, which ships as a standard SharePoint web part, recognizes the user who requested the web page, and passes that user's name to one or more web parts on the same web page. I will describe two possible solutions using this filter:

Auto-filter using the current user filter
Auto-filter using current user filter AND a list filter

Auto-filter using the current user filter.

This is the simplest solution; it consists of a SharePoint page with a Current User filter which passes the current user to the Excel Web Access (EWA) web part; which, in turn, displays a named object specific to the identified user.

This solution is a two step process:

Create your Excel workbook:
1. Enter or import all required data
2. Create an object (table, PivotTable, Named Range, etc.) for every person who will use the web page
3. Publish the wb to Excel Services:
  1. Click the Office button, select "Publish", "Excel Services", and navigate to the site you wish to save the wb.
  2. Enter the wb name
  3. Select the "Excel Services Options" button
  4. On the 'Show' tab, select "Items in the Workbook" in the dropdown
  5. Select all Named Objects you'd like to publish; your dialog should look something like:

Select 'OK' to complete the publish action, and prepare the workbook to be viewed using what we refer to as 'Named Object View".

Note: Each named object name must exactly match the user name as it will be resolved by the current user filter.

Create the web page as follows:
1. Create a web page
  1. Open your site
  2. Select 'Site Actions', 'Create'

Select "Web Part Page" and enter in the required fields.

Add and configure an Excel Web Access (EWA) web part
1. In the zone you desire the EWA, click on 'Add a web part'
2. In the 'Default' section, select 'Excel Web Access', then select 'OK'

Once the page refreshes, select "click here to open the tool pane" and use the browse button to select the correct workbook
Select "None" in the 'Type of Toolbar' dropdown
Unselect the "Named Item Drop-Down List" checkbox
Select OK.

Add a "Current User Filter" (it is in the web part list) and an Excel Web Access web part
1. In the zone you desire the Current User filter, click on 'Add a web part'
2. In the 'Filters' section, select 'Current User Filter', then select 'OK'
  NOTE: This filter is not visible on the page when the page is not in edit mode.
Connect the two web parts:
1. On the "Current User Filter" web part's title bar, select the 'edit' button, then 'Connections', 'Send Filter Values To', 'Excel Web Access - <EWA Web Part Name>' as seen below:

In the dialog that appears, select "Get Named Item From" in the drop down, then select the 'Finish' button.

Once you have completed these steps, your page is ready to be used, and will look like the following (remember to select the 'Exit Edit Mode' option in the top right corner of the page). The Displayed named object will be the object which exactly matches the name of the logged on user.

In this case, I am logged on as 'Steve Tullis' – thus have the manager view of sales data. Changing my user to 'Fiona', I see the Named Item == 'Fiona' which is a view of only Fiona's sales information.

There are obvious advantages and disadvantages to this approach:

Advantages of this solution:
- Ease of setup / configuration
- The page resolves to the current user's named object on page load without user input
Disadvantages of this solution:
- Because named object view is not a security measure, and the viewing user must have rights to the Excel file, it is possible user to open the base workbook; thus see all the content of the workbook.
- You must have a 1:1 relationship between users and names objects in the workbook (i.e. a pivot table per employee + one for the manager) which can be arduous to manage
- There is no provision to allow the user to select between multiple named objects
- It does not work for groups of people – you must have a named object person

Auto-Filter Using Current User Filter AND a List Filter Web Part

The basic concept is to extend the above solution by leveraging list item-level security. When the user selects the page, the current user filter provides the user's name to a list item web part, which then displays the named objects to which the user has access. The user selects the desired named object, which is then displayed in the EWA. Visually, the flow looks like:

While this solution is more complex on the SharePoint side, it simplifies the Excel workbook, is more secure, and allows the flexibility for users to see one or more of the published named objects.

Steps to set this up:

Create your Excel workbook with named objects for each targeted user or groups of users; then publish to your site.
1. Click the Office button, select "Publish", "Excel Services", and navigate to the site you wish to save the wb.
2. Enter the wb name
3. Select the "Excel Services Options" button
4. On the 'Show' tab, select "Items in the Workbook" in the dropdown
5. Select all Named Objects you'd like to publish; your dialog should look something like:

Select 'OK' to complete the publish action, and prepare the workbook to be viewed using what we refer to as 'Named Object View".

Create a SharePoint list on your site with:
1. Two columns:
  1. "CurrentUser"
    1. Data type = 'Person or Group'
    2. Show Field property = 'Account'
  2. "NamedObject" = single line of text
2. A view containing only the two created columns
3. Populate the list as follows:
  1. Include all users you expect to use your page.
  2. If you have users who should be able to see more than one named object, you must create a list item per named object.
  3. The values you put in the "NamedObject" field must exactly match the names of the Named Objects in your published workbook.
  4. Here is an example of a populated list where there are two named objects:

Create the web page as follows:
1. Create a web page: This is exactly the same as described above.
2. Add a Current User Filter web part: This is exactly the same as above.
3. Add and configure an Excel Web Access web part: This is exactly the same as above.
4. Add a List View web part:
  1. In the zone you desire the List View web part, click on 'Add a web part'
  2. In the 'Lists and Libraries' section, select the list which matches the name of the list created above.

Select the 'Add' button
Set the 'Selected View' property = the name of the view you created above.

Connect the Current User filter web part to the List View web part:
1. On the "Current User Filter" web part's title bar, select the 'edit' button, then 'Connections', 'Send Filter Values To', <List View web part name> (SalesData in this example) as seen below:

In the dialog that appears, select "CurrentUser" in the 'Consumer Field Name' drop down, then select the 'Finish' button.

Connect the List View web part to the EWA web part:
1. On the "List View" web part, select the 'edit' button, then 'Connections', 'Provide Row To', 'Excel Web Access - <Excel file name>' as seen below:

In the dialog that appears, select "NamedObject" in the 'Field Name' drop down, then select the 'Finish' button.

Once you have completed these steps, your page is ready to be used, and will look like the following (remember to select the 'Exit Edit Mode' option in the top right corner of the page).

In this solution, the named objects available to the current user show up as selections in the List View web part. When the user selects the desired named object, it will appear in the EWA. The below screenshot shows that Redmond\stullis has two available named objects, and has selected to view the 'SalesByStore' object.

As with the previous solution, there are advantages and disadvantages to this solution:

Advantages:
- Each user can have access to one-to-many named objects; and can interactively switch between them
- The Excel workbook is simpler and easier to maintain.
Disadvantages:
- Because named object view is not a security measure, and the viewing user must have rights to the Excel file, it is possible user to open the base workbook; thus see all the content of the workbook.
- The workbook owner must maintain an object (e.g. PivotTable) for each view of the data, instead of using a single object and populating it based on the user.
- Users are forced to pick a named object prior to it appearing on the page; even if they have access to a single named object.
- The content owner must actively manage the relationship between users and named objects in the SharePoint list.

Quick Reference Guide WSS 3.0

Introducing Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

Microsoft® Windows® SharePoint® Services is a versatile technology included in Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003 that enables organizations and businesses of all sizes to increase the efficiency of their processes and improve team productivity. With tools for collaboration that help people stay connected across organizational and geographic boundaries, Windows SharePoint Services gives people access to the documents and information they need.

Built on Windows Server 2003, Windows SharePoint Services also gives organizations a platform for building Web-based business applications that can scale easily to meet the changing and growing needs of your business.

Keep Projects on Track

Use new integration and synchronization capabilities in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 to share tasks and other list data between Windows SharePoint Services and 2007 Microsoft Office system programs, and keep track of team members with presence awareness and mobile access.

Maintain Your Team's Discussion Board or Blog
via E-Mail

Now you can add entries to discussion boards or blogs from an e-mail message. Associate an e-mail address with your discussion board or blog by creating the list with e-mail notification enabled and specifying an alias. E-mail messages sent to this address by you or other authorized users will appear in the associated list.

Associate a Distribution List with a Team Site

When you create a team site, you can automatically generate and associate a distribution list with it, enabling you to communicate easily with team members directly via e-mail. Create a new group for the team site, and then create an e-mail distribution list for the group. Changes to the group will be reflected automatically in the distribution list.

Take Your Documents on the Road

Take your documents with you by synchronizing your document libraries to Microsoft Office Outlook®. Click Connect to Outlook on the Actions menu to create a new folder within Outlook that contains copies of the documents in the library. Then, when you reconnect to Windows SharePoint Services, synchronize your changes to keep the rest of the team up to date.

Get Task Notifications via E-Mail

Keep on top of your projects by receiving e-mail notification whenever an existing task is updated or a new task is assigned to you. Select E-mail Notification when creating the task list, and notice of any updates will be sent to the task owner.

View Your Team and Personal Calendars Side-by-Side in Outlook

Manage your time more effectively by coordinating your personal and team activities. Synchronize your team's calendar by clicking Connect to Outlook on the Actions menu. Then open the Windows SharePoint Services calendar in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 to see both your personal and team activities side-by-side. You can also overlay the calendars to identify potential conflicts.

Synchronize Tasks, Calendar, Contacts, and Discussion Boards with Outlook

By synchronizing your Windows SharePoint Services tasks, calendar, contacts, and discussion boards with Office Outlook 2007, you can keep track of all of your team's projects and information through a single interface. To access any of these features, click Connect to Outlook on the Actions menu to set up the synchronization.

Drag Attachments Directly into a Document Library

Manage your document libraries directly from Office Outlook 2007 using a drag-and-drop feature. If you have a document library synchronized with Outlook, you can drag e-mail attachments directly to it. Select the attachment and drag it to the folder. The attachment will automatically be sent to Windows SharePoint Services during the next synchronization.

Browse Task Lists, Blogs, and More from Mobile Devices

Stay on top of your assignments from wherever you are. With a Microsoft Windows Mobile®, WAP, cHTML, or xHTML enabled mobile device, you can review or update your task list items, post to your blog, and even send photos from camera-equipped devices via e-mail using Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2006.

Keep Up-to-Date with Any SharePoint List via RSS

Track updates to any RSS-enabled SharePoint list from any RSS-compatible reader, including Office Outlook 2007 and Microsoft Internet Explorer® 7. To define an RSS feed, click RSS Settings under List Settings.

Create Content, Share Information, and Capture Knowledge

Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 introduces new tools to help you and your team create content, share more types of information, and capture knowledge from across the enterprise.

Capture Rich Metadata with Content Types

Support in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 for content types enables you to add metadata specific to your organization to any of the standard documents or lists. Content types are integrated with 2007 Office system programs such as Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office Excel®, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint® through the Document Information Panel. The Document Information Panel enables content authors to update metadata directly from the client program.

Add a Wiki to Your Team Site to Capture Group Insights and Best Practices

Based on a "group editing" model, wikis are great tools for capturing knowledge because they encourage everyone to contribute. Wikis can be used as forums for brainstorming ideas, to manage knowledge bases, to create designs or instruction guides, or to gather information in an easy-to-edit format. Wikis are easy to create, modify, and annotate, and can track contributions and changes. To add a wiki to your SharePoint site, click Create under Site Actions, and then click Wiki Page Library.

Broadcast Important Information with a Blog

Blogs have become an indispensable tool for both broadcasting information through posts and interacting with diverse communities. Within your team, a blog can help you keep everyone up to date and on track. To add a blog to your SharePoint site, click Create under Site Actions, and then click Site and Workspaces. Within Template Selection, click Blog.

Post to Your Blog Directly from Within Office Word 2007

Spice up your blog with familiar tools and rich editing capabilities. Office Word 2007 supports editing of Windows SharePoint Services blogs, so you can compose entries by using the full capabilities of Word, and then publish directly to your blog.

Help Ensure Data Integrity

Security and data integrity enhancements help protect important information assets and ensure that data isn't lost.

Fine-Tune Document Access with Folder-Level and Item-Level Permissions

Security can now be defined all the way down to the folder and item level, so you can control access to important documents. From the folder or document menu, click Manage Permissions, and then click Edit Permissions on the Actions menu to establish unique permissions for the folder or document.

Help Ensure Consistency of Shared Documents by Requiring Document Check-out Before Editing

Don't let overlapping edits ruin your day. Requiring document check-out before editing helps ensure that updates are applied in the correct order. From the Settings menu, click Document Library Settings, then Versioning Settings, and then select Require Check Out.

Help Protect Critical Information with Two-Stage Recycle Bin

Don't let valuable documents disappear from your site. The new Recycle Bin provides two levels of protection against accidental deletions. A document marked by a user for deletion is moved to the user's personal Recycle Bin, from which it can be restored if needed. If the user deletes it from their Recycle Bin, the document is moved to the sitewide Recycle Bin, managed by the site administrator. From there, the document can be either restored or deleted.

Discover an Improved User Interface Experience

Improvements to the user interface, rich new collaboration features, and architectural support for distributed user communities help ensure that Windows SharePoint Services is ready to support you as your needs grow.

Focus on Important Information Using Display Filters

Filters can now be defined within views, giving you quick access to the right information. Extraneous documents or list items can be excluded from the display, letting you focus your attention on what's important. From the Settings menu, select Edit View to define a filter.

Customize Quick Launch and the Top Link Bar with Your Favorite URLs

Now you can add your own links to enable fast access to your favorite sites. Both the Top Link bar and the Quick Launch area can be customized with your URLs. From the Site Actions menu, click Site Settings, and then click either Top Link bar or Quick Launch to add your own links.

Get Fast Access to Folders and Sub-folders in Tree View

On the Site Actions menu, click Site Settings, and then click Navigation Options. Select Enable Tree View and a hierarchical view will appear under Site Hierarchy in the Quick Launch area.

Use "Extranet Mode" for Distributed Communities

New for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, "Extranet mode" simplifies the process of opening up SharePoint sites to external access. Support for third-party authentication providers has also been enhanced.

Track Project Status at a Glance by Adding a Gantt Chart View

Use the new Gantt chart view to track your project tasks. Adding this view to your project's team site enables your coworkers to see at a glance if everything is on track. From the Settings menu, click Create View, and then select Gantt View to create a Gantt chart view of any task list.

Keep Track of Where You Are by Using Breadcrumbs

The new "breadcrumb" feature of the user interface helps you keep track of where you are within a SharePoint site:

Clicking any of the components in the breadcrumb trail will take you directly to that area of the site.

Upgrading and Migrating to MOSS 2007

Before Upgrading

Install prerequisites:
Windows Workflow Foundation, SP's
ASP.NET 2.0

Run and Test a full back up

Run the preupgrade scan tool: You must run the tool ! otherwise the setup will not run. Tells what you have to do and all the other things, it pop ups, what you have to do. Also about custom site templates. Verify the customization. Custom Web parts are checked and many other things. Also orphan objects, Lists Documents, Site Collections ect.

There are two kind of upgrades. Second Part of the webcast is upgrading the Farms.

Demo

1. The old World with Portal Server 2003

SQL Server is installed,

Portal Server 2003 is installed

MS .Net Framework 2.0 is installed

And Custom WebParts are installed

Before you begin the Upgrade!

Install Windows Workflow Foundation

Backup the Config DB from your old Portal Server 2003

2. Run the SharePoint MOSS 2007 upgrade, run setup from the CD

Upgrade earlier versions dialog is available

Yes perform an Gradual Upgrade
Is the best option, which we will use. For last sites with a lot of customizations
Yes perform n automated in-place upgrade
No do not upgrade

Server Type

    Complete, Web Front End, Stand Alone

        We choose Complete!

Choose a file Location: default

Yes perform an gradual upgrade…..

First the upgrade process creates an CA Site and Web Application for MOSS 2007. Than a new Configuration DB. The old Config DB from Portal Server 2003 is copied to the new DB. Also Single Sign on is upgraded.

It would also install the server farm

Shared Services are upgraded too user profiles, search db. Virtual Servers are upgraded. Specifies the target web application which is created.

A new Content DB is upgraded. A new temp DB is created for each content DB in V 2.0

Copies the Data from the sites into the temp content db.

After that the content is moved to MOSS 2007 and the temp db is deleted

Both 2003 and 2007 is available on the same box

Content that could not be upgraded, the Config DB will exists v 2.0 and version 3.0

You use the same hardware !

URLs are redirected:

Two cannot share the same URL. You need two different URLs

2.0 Site: http://litwareinc.com

3.0 Site: http://litwareinc_temp.com

After each sites are upgraded you can manually remove the temp url from the Domain- name services

3. In Place upgrade

2.0 Config DB upgraded to Config DB 3.0

2.0 Search and Users Profiles are upgraded to 3.0 SSP DBs

2.0 Site Collection is upgraded to 3.0 Site Collection

This process is repeated on each server in the server farm.

Than you would uninstall SPS 2003 !

RUN THE GRADUAL UPGRADE (Can I upgrade my current server farm?)

RUN THE PREUPGRADE SCAN TOOL

This tool is installed automatically and must be stared before the Configuration wizard is started! You must run this tool.

Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\bin\prescan.exe run from the command tool

Prescan.exe /c presupgradescanconfig.xml /all

0% ….100 %

Command completed successfully

Change to the temp file under Document and Settings\administrator\Local Settings\Temp

There is a preupgradeLog_xxxxxxxxxx.txt open the file and read the entry

If you have an error, it is on the top of the report

Run now the SharePoint Products and Configuration Wizard

NO, I want to create a new server farm

Name of the DB Server, SharePoint_Config (must be empty)

Let now work the wizard……

After the Upgrade

Start SharePoint Central Administration 3.0 on (OSS 2007)

Post Upgrade Considerations

Delete unneeded 2.0 sites

Finalize upgrade

Post Upgrade dada migration

Uninstall 2.0

Under CA there is under operations…there is a section Upgrade and Migration

Farm upgrade status

Finalize upgrade (will remove the connection to 2.0 the old version !!!!)

Content Management Server Migration

Enable Premium Features

And more…

How to enable anonymous access to a InfoPath Forms Library

Abstract: I had to create a simple InfoPath form in 2007 which anonymous users can access and send by email.

What you need: InfoPath 2007, MOSS 2007, Admin Rights to the CA Central Administration

1. Steps to wallow anonymous access to your site

Steps to allow anonymous access for users to submit InfoPath web-enabled forms:
1) Login to Central Administration on your SharePoint 2007 installation
2) Select Application Management
3) Select authentication providers
4) Select the zone that you would like to activate anonymous access
5) Select the checkbox under the anonymous access to enable it and click "Save"

Create the form: don't forget to mark the checkbox: Enable browser compatible features only

Under Form Options: click on the Submit, but deselect Save and Save as.

We don't want the anonymous users to save the forms in the form Library.

We just want that he fills out and sends it by email.

Leave this settings as it is: don't change the Security Levels.

But as you can see you can you have different Options here

Restrict, Domain and Full Trust Levels

Under the Submit Options, how I configured them, you can send E-mail just click on add and indicate the email address.

You could also add rules and more…

Now you can publish your form

Save the document first

Chose to create a new document Library, or use an existing one

Click next

Publish

Connecting..

Now you can click open in Browser. This is the Form your users will see.
You will be surprised that the Save and Save as Buttons are visible. I had to create a publish a new form,
where I forgot to disable this. Sorry!

This is the URL your anonymous users must use when accessing the form: make it available over a link

This is the Forms Library: Orders, which has been created for you

Click on Form Libraries Settings

And then permissions for this form library

Than edit permissions

Than you can click again under settings: anonymous access

If it is grayed like this, anonymous access has not been enabled in the Central Administration

If you have done it, it will look like this

Now the Glue! Go to the URL under the current Page: Thanks to Ervin Gayle's Blog
http://www.sharepointblogs.com/ervingayle/default.aspx

Change the "DOCLIB" to "LIST" and click enter

Now your Page looks like this

Make the necessary changes for the anonymous users. And you are done !

Now your anonymous users can access the form and send it by e-mail

Fixed Query in the Search Core Results Web Part

An interesting articel about: the customization of the search center, customizing the search Web Parts

http://blog.u2u.info/DottextWeb/patrick/archive/2007/01/03/39575.aspx

One of the things that has been improved a lot with MOSS 2007 is the option for administrators to customize the behavior of the search Web Parts that are available on the search page and the search results pages. Take for example the Search Core Results Web Part, one of the most important ones displaying the search results to the user:

Find It All with SharePoint Enterprise Search (Technet Magazin) Article

At a Glance:
Architecture of an enterprise search solution Indexing and querying business data LOB data and people knowledge

Searching the Enterprise with SharePoint

Enterprise search will be available in four versions with key differences: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 for Search Standard Edition, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 for Search Enterprise Edition, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Standard, and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Enterprise.

The main difference between the two Search Editions and the full SharePoint Server editions is that the two Search Editions do not include the People Search functionality (which also includes the integration with Knowledge Network for MOSS 2007), Business Data Catalog, or the enhanced Search Center with customizable tabs. Figure 1 details the key differences.

The UI offers a number of new features, including "Did you mean?" capabilities. A mainstay for Internet search engines, this advises you when you may have misspelled a common search term (see Figure 2). The interface also includes hit highlighting and full support for "best bets". But this only scratches the surface of the new search capabilities.

How to work with Blog Sites in MOSS 2007

How to work with the comments

I wanted to allow anonymous users to access the Blog site which I created under MOSS 2007. The steps are quite straight forward. More interesting was the subject of allowing the vewers sharepoint group the possibility to add a comment as anonymous.

Add, edit, and view comments in a blog

Blogs are typically designed so that people can comment on the blog posts. Comments help to make blogs more interactive and dynamic. Depending on how the blog is set up, you can add comments to it, edit your own comments, and view comments from other people.

Click on you blog site to view all site content
