Goals for Parts IIV

Parts IIV of this book are written for end users who are new to the world of SharePoint or who have gaps in their knowledge that they would like to fill. These parts use a fictitious site named "ProServices" to provide examples of the topics being covered that seek to meet the needs of the average end user. Ideally these lessons will be read in order because the skills build upon each other, and jumping between lessons for a new user may not be as effective. More experienced SharePoint end users should be more comfortable browsing to find topics of specific interest.

If you want to follow the steps in the examples, it is recommended that you use a standard blank Team Site rather than a production site. If you don't have a blank Team Site available, request the Site Administrator create one for you and give you Contributor or Administrator rights. If you want to work through Parts VVII, you will need Administrator rights to the site.

Your site will not look exactly like the one shown in the figures in this bookit contains additional sample documents and data entries that your site will not contain.

TIP

If you find yourself unable to complete a series of steps outlined in Lessons 1-14, check with your Site Administrator to see what might be causing the problem. It will generally be due to a limitation in your rights on the site.
