- 1. Intranet Case Studies By Michael Doyle
- 2. Who is Michael Doyle? • Senior Architect at Waggener Edstrom • SharePointNinja on twitter • Author for MS Press • Blogger on AIIM • Can be emailed at doyle@techelixir.com • Web site is www.sharepointninja.com
- 3. What is an Intranet anyway Literally - Any network that cannot be accessed directly from the internet Specifically – A set of web sites designed to provide information to users to help them perform their duties
- 4. • Example
- 5. Fixed Width versus Non Fixed Width
- 6. Branding –A little goes a long way –The last twenty percent will take much, much longer than you expect –Try themes to get you started –Pretty is important
- 7. Feature Stories • Keep them coming back
- 9. Navigation issues • One click is still the goal • Consistent navigation is desirable but hard to achieve • Popular items (my sites, search, tagging) need to be easy to get to and in familiar places • Easy access to the home page
- 10. Consistent Navigation Issues – Each Site Collection has its own navigation – Can use custom providers such as XML Files, Web Services, or Databases – SharePoint interface to manage navigation is easy to use but limited (per site collection and two levels) – Writing your own is pretty straight forward with lots of examples online
- 11. Mega Menu
- 12. Security Guidelines – Security Groups in SharePoint Groups – Minimize the number of groups – Security is a means to an end. Don’t over do it. – Third party products can definitely help to manage security.
- 13. Search Integration – Except for rare cases, search should be part of every page. – All encompassing search at top, specific search in main content area. – Extend search to other parts of network and use facets to refine
- 14. Best Bets – low hanging fruit
- 15. FAST Search –Major investment in server hardware and people resources –Virtually unlimited in scalability –Just dropping in a FAST Server does not provide that much functionality (noted exception is the visual preview)
- 16. Search is a garden. It needs tending to produce results. - Monitor crawl times - Tag, tag, tag - Delete unwanted content (weed it out) - Adjust results on what people are searching on. (Search Service Application: Search Administration -> Web Analytics Reports
- 17. Managed Metadata – Open vs Closed – Some is better than none – Pick a central hub location and consume the metadata from other locations – Managing metadata requires resources – Greatly increases find ability
- 19. InfoPath Forms – Best bang for the buck of any service – InfoPath Web forms saves time and money – Client not required – Worth the cost of the Enterprise edition – Don’t program if you don’t have to
- 20. Site Maps
- 21. My Site Customization – Lots of work – Politically charged – Powerful momentum from social networking – Less is definitely more – 2007, 2010, and 2013 are all vastly different in their look and feel
- 22. My Site Example
- 23. Profile Replication US Asia Europe
- 24. Replication Information – Part of SharePoint Administration kit – Overview at http://technet.microsoft.com/en- us/library/cc663011.aspx – PowerShell interface – Remember the DoSocialReplication option – Based on audiences and trusted My Sites
- 25. Consuming the User Profile – Can be a little tricky to set up Service – Issues with creating My Site Hosts – Connect to Metadata service as well – Blog post http://www.sharepointninja.com/Blog/Lists/Posts /Post.aspx?List=1b1adaf0%2Dd914%2D4578%2D9 613%2Df33ce22c41fe&ID=44
- 26. Storage – Upgrade to SP1 (or SP2) now to get Storman.aspx if using SP2010
- 27. Content Databases – Size should be guided by disaster recovery guidelines – General rule of thumb is still below 200 gig – New technology can make content databases in the terabyte size – BLOB storage. Really make sure you can recover these files.
- 28. Language Packs • Download at http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/det ails.aspx?displaylang=en&id=3411 • Service Pack 1 http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/det ails.aspx?displaylang=en&id=26629
- 30. Intranet Example
- 31. Top Searches
- 32. Build Your Own Top Search • Create a Database Connection • Connect to SharePoint database • Use an account with read access • Use the database WebAnalyticsServiceApplication_ReportingDB (followed by a GUID normally) • Edit SQL Command
- 33. Top Search SQL • SELECT TOP 10 ROW_NUMBER() OVER (Order by SUM([TotalFrequency]) Desc) As Row, [QueryText],SUM([TotalFrequency])as Count FROM [WebAnalyticsServiceApplication_ReportingDB_90199734-6932-4fe2-80b2- 95a037354f45].[dbo].[WAQueryTextAggregationByDate] a, [WebAnalyticsServiceApplication_ReportingDB_90199734-6932-4fe2-80b2- 95a037354f45].[dbo].[WAQueryText] b where a.[QueryTextHash] = b.[QueryTextHash] and DateId > CAST(CONVERT(varchar(10), DATEADD(d, -30, GETDATE()), 112) As int) and [ScopeNameHash] <> 0xD62E20AE0D633059C732F7A81FCDB2C7 Group By [QueryText] Order by Count Desc
- 34. Yammer • Now a Microsoft Product • Acquisition too close to SP2013 release to be included • Expect a web part integration soon
- 35. Questions?
