SharePoint Conference 2010 - Wellington, New Zealand

Welcome to the Bay of Plenty SharePoint User Group Site

Welcome to the Bay of Plenty SharePoint User Group site, which is fondly known as BOPSPUG. The BOPSPUG is free to attend and it meets the third Thursday of each month at the envisionIT offices.

The purpose of this user group is to bring the local SharePoint community together to share tips, tricks, and ideas on the uses of WSS and MOSS. The user group features SharePoint experts from Microsoft, Microsoft Partners, and the SharePoint user community. The user group is targeted towards end users, administrators, implementers, project managers, business analysts and developers. The very technical sessions will be moved to the already established .NET User Group, keeping this forum with more of a business focus.

We will have a topic for each meeting but we also want to encourage members to bring their own topics to the forum. Our meetings will be informal so there will be plenty of opportunity to chat with other members both before and after each session. Pizza and drinks will be provided.

If you are interested in joining our group, click the Join the group button below.

K2 - Workflow for SharePoint

If you are looking for manageable, easy to design workflow capabilities that go beyond what MOSS or SharePoint Designer offers without writing code, you need K2 blackpoint!
Developers and business users can use K2 blackpoint to create new SharePoint workflows that span libraries, sites, InfoPath forms, server farms and organizations; manage approvals; and route documents and list items. With K2 blackpoint, everything is visual and wizard-driven, everything can be built without code, and users can assemble new applications from information that already exists.
Is your IT team taking weeks to deliver applications around your SharePoint infrastructure? Do you want a toolset that allows you get better visibility into your business processes without spending vast amounts of your budget? Take a look at K2 Blackpoint!
What can you do with K2 Blackpoint?

* Build processes that move information and documents between libraries and lists across SharePoint sites and servers.
* Surface information through process portals
* Manage Lists, Libraries and Sites
* Escalate and delegate tasks
* Surface tasks through the K2 Worklist Web Part
* Automatically start a new workflow instance when a list/library is updated

Automate your forms with Microsoft Forms Server & InfoPath

19 March 2009

In this session, Debbie will demonstrate two very useful third-party tools:

· SharePartXXL Taxonomy Extension – a business classification and taxonomy tool that allows documents to be grouped cross-site. This functionality is outside SharePoint’s standard capabilities. This tool also eliminates the need for some metadata fields and helps enforce standards across an organisation.

· OnePlaceMail – allows emails and their attachments to be uploaded from Outlook directly into a SharePoint document library. This tool connects to multiple document libraries and allows you select a content type and enter metadata values at the time of uploading an email.
