CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO SHAREPOINT 2010
Multi - Stage Disposition
Often in records management, you want to be able to have multiple stages in your dispositions
of documents, such as different points where you review the content, or be able to set different
dispositions based on different rules. For example, you may want to have a 5 - year destruction
rule with a 1 - year review rule to double - check the content and perhaps a 10 - year destruction rule
if the document is digitally signed. With 2010, multi - stage dispositions allow you to set different
rules for your managed content based on your business requirements.
In - Place Records Management
In SharePoint 2007, you need to send your managed content to the Records Center to get certain
features of the product to work. However, you may want to use records management with your
content but leave it in place in your document libraries and lock it from editing. With the new
in - place records management in 2010, you can apply records management policies to content, while
retaining the content in its original location.
What ’ s New in ECM: Web Content Management
Interest in building rich web sites is growing every day. If you look at both Internet and Intranet
sites, design, rich media, and social interaction are all important features. To provide these, you need
a good base web content management platform on which to build these solutions. With SharePoint
2010, WCM gets much more than just a facelift, and combined with the other enhancements
in SharePoint that WCM can leverage, such as social or search, SharePoint WCM becomes an
enterprise ready WCM solution.
Standards and Browser Support
To move away from the table layouts that cause issues in browsers other than Internet Explorer,
SharePoint 2010 uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and XHTML to provide layout information
and strict HTML. In addition, to support accessibility, along with the changes to the HTML
that SharePoint renders, SharePoint supports the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
accessibility standards. Finally, with the new rendering, support for non - IE browsers has been
increased to fully support Firefox and Safari.
One - Click Page Layout
Many people have issues in SharePoint 2007 when trying to change their page layout after they
create their page. With the 2010 release, creating and changing page layouts requires only a single
click of the mouse. With this, you can quickly see how your content appears in different page layouts
so that you can choose the best design for your site.
Enhanced Page Libraries
With 2010, you can have folders in your Pages library, which allows you to scale the number of
items, to the millions, you can store there. SharePoint can automatically place the content into your
subfolders using the content - routing engine discussed earlier. Not having folders in the Pages library
was a major diffi culty in the 2007 release.
