An Introduction to SharePoint Online

Let’s get started with SharePoint online by letting you know about its fantastic selection of features. We will demonstrate popular uses of SharePoint Online to manage and share content, create engaging web page, automate business processes and make good business decisions with Business intelligence. We will also discuss who will be the typical users in our sites and the role of the site collection administrator. Site Owners are trusted with functionality that in other business systems would normally only be available to developers. As a new Site Owner, we’re sure that you will be amazed with the potential that SharePoint Online has to offer an end user.

Creating Sites

Whether you are managing existing sites or you have not yet started, we will complement your current situation by discussing site hierarchy and planning your SharePoint sites. This will allow you to understand existing sites that other people have created as well as making good decisions when building new sites. As a site owner, you will be presented with a selection of site templates. You will use a variety of popular site templates to develop an enhanced understanding of each sites function and appropriate use. Once your site is ready, we will then change the look and feel of your site. You can even try applying your business brand to your test site. We will also build our navigation bar, a simple but powerful way to help users move between websites.

Creating and Managing Web Pages

SharePoint boasts a rich selection of ways to build web pages. You will learn how to update the home page of your SharePoint site with text, links, images, videos and web parts. We will also show you best practices when creating multiple pages and linking them together. In most site templates, creating and managing web pages is a simple, fast and rewarding way to present essential information and apps. SharePoint can also be used as an Intranet for internal news. Due to the high visibility of these web sites, it is common to place more control over the release of new web pages or updates to existing pages. For this reason, SharePoint has publishing sites and communication sites. The types of pages found in SharePoint

Working with Apps

Apps are required to store information such as events, contacts and files in a site. SharePoint provides a selection of apps for different scenarios, all with the option to be customized for a specific business requirement. Apps can be broken down into Lists, Libraries and Market Place Apps. SharePoint lists serve as the structure for calendars, discussion boards, contacts, and tasks. This module explains the concept of lists, and then reviews popular options. A document library is a location on a site where you can create, collect, update, and share files including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF. We will show you the benefits of using a library and teach you how best to work with files in a library. An introduction to on premises and SharePoint Marketplace apps is provided to show how to extend site functionality beyond what Microsoft has provided in the SharePoint Online platform.

Building processes with Flow and PowerApps

Building your business processes into SharePoint has been made simple and powerful with the introduction of code-free solutions to capture information and automate tasks. From SharePoint, discover Flow, a workflow designer that allows you to integrate lists and libraries into your other favourite Office 365 apps and business services. Additionally, we will show you PowerApps, a form designer that allows you to bring a tailored experience to your SharePoint lists, allowing users to document information from their web browser on their PC or even on a mobile app! This module is designed to show you the integration capabilities between SharePoint, Flow and PowerApps. This module will also cover SharePoint’s classic workflows, allowing users to build simple approval processes within lists and libraries.

Customising Security

Security is an important element of any site. You will see instructor-led demonstrations of the best practices for adding and removing colleagues from your site and defining their level of access. As a site owner, you can customise permission levels. This means that you can create levels of access that are aligned with the responsibilities of your sites users. An example of this would be allowing a group of users the ability to upload content but not delete content. You will also see how to use the Share button to quickly share documents with other users.

Working with Search

SharePoint provides the ability to store vast amounts of content in a variety of locations. This module covers a set of tools which help you to efficiently locate the information you need. In Office 365, as well as searching SharePoint, Delve offers a more personalized experience by identifying useful and trending content and bringing it to you. While SharePoint’s search is rich and intelligent, site owners can make customisations to search to improve its relevance to an organisation. We will show common techniques used by site owners to improve search results by promoting specific content when a certain keyword is used.

Enterprise Content Management

Traditionally teams make use of file templates or manual processes to ensure information is collected and retained correctly. This may be a choice your team makes or a decision that is more universal across your organisation. In this module, we will help your team establish reusable file templates and automate document lifecycle management. An example of this would be removing old unwanted content from your site automatically. To achieve this, you will learn about a variety of SharePoint features including managed metadata, content types, policies, in-place records management and the content organizer.
