- 4. #10 - Bulk Metadata Editing Main Points • “DataSheet View” did not work well in SP2010 • Users are comfortable with the Excel user experience for entering data. • “Quick Edit” view brings the same experience to SP2013 Why It’s Important • Too many clicks leads to information loss. • Dramatically reduces the number of steps for entering critical metadata. • Tightly integrated with the Managed Metadata term store.
- 6. #9 - Managed Metadata Navigation Main Points • New option to create top and left navigation from a special managed metadata termset created for each site collection. • Two-way synchronization between the term store and links added manually. • Supports “friendly” urls. Why It’s Important • Term set provides simpler administration and ensures consistency. • Extended properties in the term store can be used to drive page behavior and other site- level functionality. • Friendly urls are more intuitive and better reflect the structure of content.
- 8. MMS Navigation: Additional Points • Navigation Terms Scoped to Site Collection – Does not show up in Central Admin • Allows Manual Editing of Links – Can get out of synch with the term store • Friendly URLs are not automatically synchronized – BUG => Requires manual updates to term store
- 9. #8 - Digital Asset Management Main Points • New content types for managing digital assets – Image, Audio, Video – Predefined Columns – Automatic Metadata Extraction • New “Asset Library” library app. – Defaults to Thumbnail View – Includes Overlay Callouts – Built-In Podcasting Support Why It’s Important • Simplifies the management of otherwise “opaque” media files – Consistent Metadata • Implements common functionality that would otherwise require third-party plugins.
- 11. #7 - Search Result Types Main Points • Think of result types as “strongly typed” search results. – Can be associated with other things • Result Types work hand-in- hand with Display Templates – Items – Hover Panels Why It’s Important • Categorizing search results can be pain-staking and time- consuming. • Result Types let you create pre-defined associations for different kinds of content. • Display Templates let you create content-appropriate search experiences for end users.

- 13. Display Templates Result Type Item Display Template Hover Panel Display Template 1 2
- 14. Result Types Creation Select Display Templates • Copy an existing template • Edit HTML/JS Identify Scope • Farm, Site Collection or Site Create Result Type • Specify Name & Source • Specify Conditions & Custom Properties • Specify Display Templates
- 16. #6 - Content By Search Web Part Main Points • Use the built-in Query Builder to associate the web part with a search query. • Select the Display Templates to be used to display the results. Why It’s Important • Simplifies the customization of query search results. – No need for XSLT • Query Builder simplifies the construction of complex queries.

- 18. DEMO Content Search Web Part
- 19. #5 - Content Enrichment Web Services Callouts Main Points • Custom pre-processor for managed properties (similar to FAST pipeline extension) • Can analyze content and modify or introduce new managed properties • Content analysis happens in a custom web service Why It’s Important • Raw indexing results may have inconsistent formatting • Default set of managed properties may not provide sufficient insight into results • Custom refiners can provide deeper insights and yield richer search experiences for end users
- 20. Content Enrichment Callout Architecture CRAWL CONTENT PROCESSING INDEX Document Parsing Word Breaking Entity Extraction WEB SERVICE Input Properties Output Properties “Trigger” Expression Content Enrichment
- 21. Content Enrichment Callouts: Additional Points • Everything Depends on Managed Properties – Mapping is not automatic. Requires literal mapping from crawled properties to managed properties. – Must tell SharePoint which specific managed properties to send to the service, and which ones to expect. – Managed properties must already be part of the search schema. • Applies only to “new” content – Callout does not happen for deletes or partial updates.
- 22. #4 - Cross-Site Publishing Main Points • Separates content authoring from branding and rendering. – Maintain content in authoring site collections – Display content in publishing site collections • Relies on Search Web parts to display published content – Can show integrated view of authored pages and list content Why It’s Important • Makes it easier to manage shared content across site collections using familiar WCM publishing techniques • Integrates the search infrastructure with publishing in a clean and consistent way.
- 24. #3 - Site Mailboxes Main Points • Integrates SharePoint 2013 and Exchange 2013 within the Microsoft Outlook 2013 Client. • Designed specifically for team collaboration, scoped to individual shared projects. Why It’s Important • Teams need to deliver a shared set of project related artifacts. • Creates better parity between documents and emails. • Compliance policies can be applied consistently to all project artifacts.
- 25. Site Mailboxes
- 26. Site Mailboxes • Implemented as SharePoint Sites extended to receive and store messages sent to a corresponding Exchange Mailbox (via the SharePoint Site Mailbox App). • Enables site-level retention policies to be applied equally to related documents and email messages associated with a project. • Simplifies eDiscovery (and holds processing) for emails and documents.
- 27. Site Mailboxes: End User Benefits • Consolidated view of SharePoint and Exchange content from within Microsoft Outlook (familiar drag/drop interface). • Ability to route incoming emails directly into site mailbox (via email forwarding). • Handles attachments.
- 28. Site Mailboxes: Compliance Benefits • Retention policies can be managed at the site level for all project-related artifacts. • Emails (and documents) can be classified behind the scenes. – No need for end-users to deal with classification issues. • Site Mailboxes can be defined as Search Result Types – Participates directly in e-Discovery process. • Site Mailboxes are security trimmed in Outlook – Not visible if user is not a site (project) member.
- 29. Site Mailboxes: Limitations • No Metadata Tagging – Cannot capture email attributes as metadata • No Support for Document IDs or Links – Cannot attach SharePoint content to new emails • No Support for Automatic Versioning – Filename collisions may result in errors • No Support for Other Office Apps – Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio
- 30. Site Mailboxes: Additional Points • Runtime Services Requirements – User Profile Service with Profile Synchronization – Exchange Web Services • Special Configuration Requirements – Web Application requires SSL (https) – Must run in the default zone (with https enabled)
- 31. #2 Site-Level Retention Main Points • Driven by Policy – Create and attach policies to sites • Better control over site closure and deletion – Specially defined state called “Site Closure”. – Policy determines what happens when a site is closed. Why It’s Important • Fixes disparity between sites and the contents they contain. • Enables administrators to apply consistent rules to an entire site in addition to individual policies and retention rules.
- 33. #1 : E-Discovery Center Main Points • Build around Search and the concept of a “Case” – Associates search results with specific cases • De-couples “Lock Down” from the content database – Can package result set for export. – Protection depends on the content source. Why It’s Important • Enables litigation holds to be applied to many types of content. – SharePoint Documents – Email Messages – File Shares • Enables tight integration with multiple content sources without imposing additional constraints.
