Good morning Sharepointers. It’s been a while since my last post (sorry!) and have started a new series of how you can expose data from ecuBIC in Sharepoint. Check out the first post in the series on the Sharepoint Blog.
We’ve released a new SharePoint site directory but we need your help to properly organize the content. If you see a site in the list you’re familiar with, take a moment to update the details about the entry so sites can easily be found by everyone. See the SharePoint Blog article for more details.
Greetings,
It’s been a while since I’ve posted something SharePoint related so here’s a quick tip that started on Twitter. One individual whom I follow was asking if there was a fix for the Explorer View in a document library over SSL for those using IE8. That is our setup, SharePoint accessed over SSL and I run IE8. I told her I usually have to authenticate to open the view and the transfer is typically slow. We received a follow-up tweet from @Hugheser saying to check the LAN configuration settings in IE.
You want to uncheck that first box if it’s enabled and you’ll see an a significant increase in transfer speed.

The new student email transition to Outlook live has begun. This is how it will affect Sharepoint.
For up-to-date information about the new student email change, visit the Outlook Live page.
With last weekends maintenance, certain lists and libraries can receive emails. The following lists and libraries can be email enabled in the settings menu.
They all have practical uses, some more frequent than others. The biggest winner out of the group in my opinion is email enabling a calendar. Why you may ask? Every site collection that is created comes with a calendar by default. This calendar can be utilized in many ways depending on the need of the site. It could be to list time off requests or track meetings for a committee.
By setting up an email address, this will allow you to add the email address as a recipient in the To: field and this will automagically place the meeting or event on the Sharepoint calendar. This is especially useful when using the Connect to Outlook function in the list Actions menu.
If you’re creating a new calendar, you’ll have the option to set an incoming address if desired. It can always be set up later. If you specify an email address that’s already in use, you’ll receive an error that the list was created but creating the address failed. It will have to be configured again. To do that or set up an address after the fact, go to the calendar and select Settings, List Settings and click the Incoming email link. Add the address and click OK and you can start sending emails to Sharepoint lists.
Nintex Workflow is going to be installed this weekend. This is an addon to help build Sharepoint workflows graphically through the browser. See the Sharepoint blog for further details.

Part 3 of the new Sharepoint permissions features delivers XML results of premissions in your site collection.

In part 1, I talked about using the Check Effective Permissions option in Site Settings to see what permissions a user has been granted. In part 2, I talk about how to use the Compare Permissions option in Site Settings to see what lists and libraries are using broken permissions and how they differ from the parent.
