Windows® SharePoint™ Services lets you create a central location where coworkers, partners,
and customers can share issues, contacts, announcements, Web links, and calendars.
Team members can easily create workspaces for meeting discussions, surveys, documents, task lists,
and other collaboration needs that increase their productivity.

Document and Forms Libraries
Users can browse a library to share documents with team members.
Document libraries support features such as sub-folders, file versioning,
and check-in/check-out. Using a compatible XML editor (such as Microsoft
Office InfoPath), you can create a form library for your XML-based business
reports or purchase orders.

Document Workspace Sites for Collaboration on Tasks, Projects, and Documents
Using Web parts, lists, and document libraries, a Document Workspace creates an environment
centered on one or more tasks, projects, or documents. Team members can work
together on a document and periodically update copies that have been saved to the
Document Workspace site.
|
|
Automatic Notifications and Alerts
SharePoint uses e-mail alerts to notify users of important events and changes to lists,
items, libraries, and other parts of the site. For example, users can choose
to receive an e-mail alert when a document published in a specific library is modified or
deleted, or they can elect to receive immediate, daily, or weekly alerts for
content included in the portal site index.
|
Search
Using the search engine, team members can query most lists and all document libraries that
are on the SharePoint site. They can search the entire site or a single list within the site,
or they can search for a particular contact in the Contact list.
Version Control
SharePoint can track documents stored on the site and help your team efficiently track and
manage document creation and editing.
 |
Team Surveys
Surveys allow you to poll team members and obtain feedback from anyone with
access to the site. You can configure a survey so that users can
respond to items such as meetings, vendor service, or product releases, and
you can also display the results graphically.
|
 |
Lists and Spreadsheets
SharePoint sites include built-in lists for sharing information, tasks, contacts,
and announcements. Users can also create custom lists for unique information.
With the help of a compatible Windows program (such as Microsoft Office Professional 2003),
Windows SharePoint Services will import in columnar form spreadsheet data that team members
can directly edit, sort, filter, add to, or delete.
|
Event Lists
Using an event list, you can post information about
important dates or copy/link events to a compatible calendar program such as
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003.
Announcement Lists
You can use an announcement list to post news, status, and other information, and you
can set an expiration date for the announcement.
Task Lists
You can use a task list to assign a task to a team member, specify its priority
and due date, and indicate its status and progress. Users can view
individual tasks assigned to them or tasks assigned to other team members.
Contact Lists
With a contact list, you can allow team members to have access to a telephone number,
e-mail address, or street address of clients, partners, and vendors. You can
copy contact information in the address book to or from a contact list. This
requires a compatible address book program such as Microsoft Office Outlook® 2003 or
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher.
 |
Discussion Boards
Discussion boards provide a forum for topics that interest your team. For example,
you can create a discussion board that allows team members to propose and discuss activities.
Each discussion board has icons for starting, sorting, filtering, switching views, or changing designs.
Another feature (Web Discussion) allows users to attach comments to a specific SharePoint page or document.
