Columns
Columns enable metadata to be added to documents stored within a library
![Page 9: Efficient Admin with SharePoint 2010 Gareth Johns IT Skills Development Advisor 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56649f355503460f94c5358d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Adding Columns to a Library
Extra, inbuilt, columns can be added to a library
Custom columns can also be created• E.g. Category, Topic, Icon,
Web Page, purpose
Additional sources of data for searching, grouping, sorting and filtering
Each column has a Type – text, number, choice etc.

Implementing Permissions
1. Create groups
2. Add users to groups
3. Grant permissions at each level of the site

36
Permissions – Best Practice Summary
Plan your permission structure then implement
Use groups Create groups that reflect the structure of your site
Create two groups for each site; a Members group and an Owners group.
Avoid breaking inheritance where possible - simpler

Workflows
A series of tasks that can be applied to a list or library
Workflows
the automated movement of documents or items through a sequence of actions or tasks that are related to a business process (Microsoft Help)
Allows something to “done” with the contents of a list or library
![Page 33: Efficient Admin with SharePoint 2010 Gareth Johns IT Skills Development Advisor 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56649f355503460f94c5358d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
38
Workflow E.g. – SoL User Assignment
Check each column for the correct answer
If Answer=Correct Then add one to Total
…
Email Total to the Creator of the list item and amend Total column in list
List items are orange. Conditions are purple. Actions are green.

Workflows – Real Life Example – L&IS Purchasing
Classic “manager approval” workflow• User adds item to list – a purchase request• Workflow emails Manager for approval. Sets
Status to “requested”.• If granted, then sets Status to “approved” and
emails administrator to begin the order.• Order placed using Agresso Finance• Administrator updates list with Order Number • Workflow emails User with Order Number
