SharePoint Content Management Efficiency Flexibility and Compliance User-centric
SharePoint 2010 Content Management
What is Content? The facilities for the creation, review, publication and disposal of content including conforming to defined compliance rules, whether the content exists as traditional documents or as Web pages. SharePoint 2010’s content-management capabilities include document management, records management, and Web-content management. On the old wheel: Formally known as Content Management
ECM Concepts Document Management – “A computer system (or set of computer programs) used to track and store electronic documents and / or images of paper documents.” Wikipedia
ECM Concepts Records Management – “Practice of identifying, classifying, archiving, preserving, and destroying records.” Wikipedia
ECM Concepts Web Content Management – “A content management system usually implemented as a web application for creating and managing HTML content.” Wikipedia
Breaking Down ECM: Document Management Metadata Management Records Management Web Content Management Digital Asset Management
Document Management
User Experience Today: Storing content on local machines and file shares. No Version Control Limited Search and Findability Limited Document Properties Out of control Folder Hierarchies and Naming Conventions Limited Security Management
SharePoint Pre-2010 Sites Templates Document Libraries, Image Libraries Content Types and Metadata Views Granular Security Version Control Recycle Bin Alerts
Document Management 2010 Improved Document Libraries Upload Controls Views Office Integration Metadata Management New Document Sets Unique IDs Content Organizers View Control Default values by folder
Document Libraries The core concept for all content management Container for documents and files – Folders – Documents/Files – Document Sets – Content Types and Metadata – Features and Functionality Tied to the Library
Upload Controls Destination Folder - Powerful when used with Column default values Drag and Drop Multiples
Views Views control which data users see, and how they see it. Select views using the Ribbon

DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT DEMO
Metadata Management
User Experience The Good: Consistent, structured and standard method for implementing document properties Provides context for the document The Bad: Perceptions of too much work for users to set all the meta data values
SharePoint Pre-2010 Metadata columns available on Lists and Libraries 2007 Introduced Content Types and Site Columns Biggest limitation – Site Collection boundaries
Metadata Content Types and Site columns now enterprise-wide Unique Document IDs Metadata based navigation Document Sets Tags, Feedback, Notes, Ratings Content Organizer
Columns and Site Columns Columns exist by default on every list and library Several data type options: Site Columns can be reused
Published Metadata Site Collection Feature – Content Type Syndication Hub Content Types – Manage Publishing Content Type Publishing
Unique IDs Activated as a Site Collection feature – Document ID Service Assign Unique IDs to documents – Define the ID format URLs are static, independent of location
Metadata Navigation Managed via Library Settings Define fields to be used as navigation filters
Document Sets Enabled as a Site Collection feature – Document Sets Manage multiple documents as one unit Managed as a content type
Validation Settings Managed via Library Settings Add rules to columns/metadata that must pass validation in order to be saved
Tags, Feedback and Notes Social networking options for content Affects search results Surfaces content in other places
Taxonomy Term Store Ensures consistent use of tags
Ratings Managed via Library Settings Allows users to provide feedback on the value of a library item Affects search results relevancy
Content Organizer Metadata based rules for moving content to a library or folder Activated at the Site level Drop Off Library – One per site Managed in Site Settings Can send to other site collections
METADATA DEMO
Records Management
User Experience Documents authored and initially managed in a “collaboration” space “Official” documents must be retained to comply with legislation – Logically categorized and organized – Available – Immutable – Auditable – Disposable – Suspend Disposition
SharePoint Pre-2010 Records Center Site Template Limited “send-to” functionality – Copy files into Records Center Basic routing, policies, holds and audits Architecture limitations
Records Management Unique IDs Compliance Details – report for individual items Audit Log Reporting, File Plan Reporting In-place records Policies Improved “Send-To” settings
File Plan Report Report on the content and policies for a list Document Library Settings
In-Place Records Site Collection Feature Flag items as records
Policies Configured at the Site Collection, Library, or Content Type level Configurable options for each
Send-To Configured in Central Administration at the Web Application Level Drop off libraries can be destinations
RECORDS MANAGEMENT DEMO
Web Content Management
User Experience Web Content should be manageable by content owners Flexible publishing workflows for simple to advanced scenarios Separation of content and design
SharePoint Pre-2010 Sites Templates Features that enable publishing functionality Advanced publishing workflows and scheduling Master and Layout Pages Content Pages Supporting lists/libraries
Web Content Management New and Improved Folders are now supported in Pages Library All page settings managed from one screen Web Analytics HTML/Markup Layout is not table based Improved Rich Text Editor (cross-browser, cleaner output)
Topics Publishing Sites Content Types and Page Layouts Managing Web Content
Publishing Sites Site template configured with web content management features enabled – Page Layout Content Types – Page Layouts – Content Pages – Page Libraries
Page Layout Content Types Out-of-the-box Content Types for Publishing – Article Page – Redirect Page – Welcome Page
Page Layouts Web page templates that define the content layout Created in SharePoint Designer (optional) “Married” to the page layout content type Field and Content Controls = Metadata from Content Type
Content Pages Content Page = Page in a Pages Library Instance of a page layout WYSIWYG
The Ribbon Check In / Checkout and Publish Change Content Type and Layout without navigating away Draft check verifies that all assets have been published
Page Library Storage for content pages Page content is metadata on the page! Familiar document management concepts apply
WEB CONTENT MANAGEMENT DEMO
Digital Asset Management
Digital Asset Management Big files Haven’t traditionally stored in SharePoint – now we can because of the blob storage Autocad, image, audio, video Media Web Part SharePoint isn’t a robust solution, but has added functionality to better support DAM
Digital Asset Management Asset Library Media Web Part External Blob Storage / Remote Blog Storage
Asset Library Storage for supporting files
Video Streaming New Media Web Part Easily add video/audio Upload or find content instead of copy & pasting URLs
External Blob Storage BLOBs typically account for 60-70% of all content storage SQL Data is more expensive than traditional storage In 2007 you needed to use a 3 rd party provider and API SharePoint 2010 now ships with a provider for SQL 2k8 R2
