Part I: Collaborating with Team Sites
2. Click the I Like It button on the Document tab, as shown in Figure 1-5.
SharePoint briefly displays the Add Tag confirmation message, and the
item is saved to your tags and notes, visible to your colleagues in your
profile Tags and Notes tab.
Figure 1-5:
Click the
I Like It
button.
To view your tags and notes:
1. Click the arrow beside your name in the upper-right corner of the
page and choose My Profile from the drop-down list.
Your profile page displays.
2. Click the Tags and Notes tab, as shown in Figure 1-6.
In the Activities For: section of the page, you see an entry for the tag you
just entered.
3. Select the Make Private check box beside any activity so that only you
can see it.
Now only you can see the item you marked as private.
SharePoint 2010 has other social networking features in addition to tags; you
can see some of them by exploring your profile, and I talk a little more about
them in Chapter 7, too.
Why properties?
You may wonder why SharePoint 2010 prompts
you to enter properties for your document. The
properties that you enter — properties like the
filename, title, and keywords — can be used to
make it easier for other site users to find your
document. SharePoint 2010’s search feature
indexes these properties so that users can
search for them. You can also add new properties
to your documents to make them easier to search
for. In addition to search, you can use properties
to create a list of documents that match a certain
property’s value. For example, say you have a set
of documents with a Sales Territory property. You
could display a subset of those documents on
your team site’s home page that match a certain
territory’s name.
