Global Navigation

Where am I & How Did I Get Here

• Where are the bread crumbs?• Navigation changing from site to site?• Wording inconsistent from site to site?

NEED A CHANGE??

Managed Metadata to the Rescue…

Create the following:• Group called Global Navigation• Term Set called Global Navigation

Right-Click the Global Navigation term set and create your Terms.

These are will be the Global Navigation headings. (See example on the right)

Right click a term such as “Departments” and enter in your departments. (See example below)

Document Sets

Past Present

Document Sets Rock!• Create new multi-document work

products quickly and easily by using the New Document command in a document library.

• Capture a version history snapshot of the current properties and documents within the Document Set.

• Start workflows on the entire document set or individual items within the Document Set to manage common tasks such as review and approval.

• E-mail a link to the Document Set.• Use the Send To command to move or

copy the Document Set to another location (the destination must be configured within Central Administration).

• Manage permissions for the Document Set.

• Specify the content types that are allowable within the document set (for example, document files, images, audio, or video).

• You can map the default documents to the allowed content types.

• Specify any shared metadata that you want synchronized to all documents in a set.

• Customize a Welcome Page for a Document Set that displays in each instance of a work product created from a Document Set content type. This Welcome Page is a Web Part Page that can be set up to display project information or resources to help team members who are working on a Document Set (e.g., project timeline, links to resources, etc.).

• Configure the workflows that you want to make available for the Document Set. You can use the standard Review or Approval workflows with Document Sets.
