Adding a Things To Bring List


Now that you have added all of the information to the default Meeting Workspace, you might want to add more information for the attendees. You can accomplish this by creating new lists and libraries and by adding Web Parts that display their contents to the Page tabs.

Tip 

If you add a Web Part to any page in a Meeting Workspace that contains multiple dates listed on the left side of the page, the Web Part is added to all pages.

Olga wants to ensure that all attendees know what they are expected to bring with them to the meeting. Therefore, in the following exercise, you will add a Web Part on the More Page tab in the Meeting Workspace to a new Things To Bring list.

Customizing a SharePoint site by using Web Parts is discussed in detail in Chapter 15, Working with Web Parts.”

OPEN the SharePoint Meeting Workspace created in the first exercise in this chapter: http://wideworldimporters/PublicWorkshops site. If prompted, type your user name and password, and click OK.

BE SURE TO verify that you have sufficient rights to create lists and add Web Parts. If in doubt, see the Appendix on page 435.

7. Leave the default option selected for Change items into series items set to No.

Changing this value to Yes indicates that these items are things that should be presented on every meeting in the series. Since the items to be added only apply to this meeting, you do not want this to be a series list.
