Adding Web Parts to SharePoint Sites


Adding a Web Part to a site is a straightforward task for an Administrator. By default, SharePoint sites are created with a specific number of standard Web Parts that can be dropped into a page. In addition, each piece of site content you create (document libraries, lists, discussions groups) will be represented by a default Web Part. To add one of these Web Parts to a SharePoint site, follow these instructions:

1.

From the home page, click the Modify Shared Page drop-down link.

2.

From the drop-down box, select Add Web Parts and then click Browse.

3.

Select a gallery to choose a Web Part from. For your specific site, it will be named SITENAME Gallery (where SITENAME is the name of your site).

4.

As shown in Figure 18.1, select the Web Part you wish to add. You can drag and drop it into the page, or you can select the zone from the Add to drop-down box and click the Add button. See Lesson 4 "Introduction to Web Parts" for more information on zones.

Adding the appropriate Web Parts to a page will make it more informative and useful for your users. In addition, this is the part of the job of Site Administrator that allows you to put on your creative, artistic hat and really design a site that people will use and appreciate.
