What is a website ? What is a Web Portal ?  WebPortal is a central repository to store the informaion.  It is used for the collaboration of the content, ing, Searching the required content, Uploading the Documents.  Depending the user, there are various access permissions like full control, read-only, limited access.  A starting point for people surfing the internet. It functions like a gateway, providing links to various sorts of websites across different locations.  A Web site or service that offers a broad array of resources and services, such as , forums, search engines, etc.  We have only the limited permissions to modify the content in the website. We don’t have any permissions to change the data.

Need of MOSS in this Business World: To create a Demo Portal using the previous Web Technologies Like ASP. Net, It takes a lot of time to design it. Even, We design the website, the look and feel of the website is not as good as the website designed by MOSS. We can design a Portal for each and every business need as it takes very less time to design. Ex: MyWorks, E&R Portal, CTY, IHL Portal and all.

MOSS Site Navigation MOSS leverages ASP.NET navigation features Intra-site navigation breadcrumb Intra-site collection navigation breadcrumb

Site Settings Used to change appearance and behavior of site Site setting page in top-level sites has site collection options Click Here

Creating Document Libraries WSS Document Library is a hybrid list type Provides support for uploading/storing documents Provides support for document check-in/check-out Provides support for document versioning Document images store in SQL Server content DB Document Library has a document template Document template used when user clicks New command Document Library can contain custom columns Provide easy way to add metadata to documents
