THE USER

More to learn...

SO IS IT WORTH THE SWITCH?

Mentions “@”Hashtags “#”

“Follow” and “Like”

Yammer

CLOUD-ONLY with limited integrations to

SharePoint

Show the feed

•Publish from SharePoint to Yammer •Use Search to find results from both with Federated Search

There isn’t much integration OOB...

Replace the Newsfeed with Yammer

Yammer IntegrationThere are other integration

possibilities between SharePoint and Yammer

OneDrive Link

The new “My Site” is called OneDrive in Top Suite Bar

OneDrive - My Tasks

Very Cool! Aggregates all your Tasks, even from Outlook!**

OneDrive not OneDrive for Business

OneDrive (My Site) ≠ OneDrive ≠ OneDrive for Business

Available on Windows with Office 2013 or

standalone

Offline Synchronization

If you have Office 2010,then you get

SharePoint WorkSpace

SitesFind your Sites

I LOVE THIS!

Security presented as Sharing

Let’s Take a Social Tour

Looking at the InfrastructureNo more User Profile Sync problems!

The Distributed Cache Service !Easy as a single server Difficult when redundancy is required

•Requires PowerShell knowledge •Needs a “Cache Cluster” •Microsoft recommends having a dedicated server (but with redundancy, that would mean 2 - ouch)

Community Site and Portal

Community Site

New Site Template available with SharePoint 2013 Standard

Community Site

•Manage Discussions •Navigate by Categories •Badges (Earned and Gifted) •Reputation •Offensive Content

Community Portal

A Site that aggregates all Community Sites! ...Thanks to the new Search

Demo

OneNote +

Team Sites

OneNote

OneNote Integration

Only available with “Office Web Apps 2013*”

Creates a OneNote workbook for the team to work on

Uses the same permissions as the Sites permissions

Only available when creating a Site

COLLABORATIONwith SharePoint 2013

Lots of small upgrades that makes it a lot better

Document Libraries

Document Libraries

Drag & Drop it! Not Perfect though...wait where’s my Metadata?

Document Libraries

Edit in DataSheet View got upgraded! You can now Create Columns

Document Libraries

GeolocationNew Column!

GeoLocation hidden column

Office Web Apps Integrated

Office Web Apps 2013 makes SharePoint 2013 even cooler! Document Previews right from your library.

Edit Page got better

Copy Paste from Word now maintains your styles 100% - AWESOME!

Code

No longer depend on the Content Editor WebPart - Much better for future upgrades

Videos on Pages

Play videos straight from your page in HTML5

DISCOVER CONTENT

with SharePoint 2013

Problems we’ve faced

•Hard if not impossible to see content from other lists/libraries on other Sites •Even worst for another Site Collection •XSLT! •Change the way resultsare shown •Contextual Results •Having to ask Admins forevery little thing..queries •And much more...

SEARCH!Best of FAST Search algorithms

Document ThumbnailsQuery Language (FQL)

Architecture

Visual Best Bets User Segmentation

Metadata Extraction

Continuous Crawl

Analytics

Result SourcesResult Types

Query RulesDisplay Templates

Search Web Parts

Cross-Site Publishing

Product Catalog Search-Drive Sites

Continuous Crawl

The Real Continuous Crawl•Only works on SharePoint Content Sources

•By default every 15min

Set-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlContentSource

•Once indexed, content appears almost right away...like magic

•Lots of added pressure on the Server

Before we start ANYTHING with Search

Crawled Property: Content & Metadata extracted(document itself, url, Title, etc…)

Managed Property: Includes 1 or multiple mapped Crawled Properties and exists in the Search Index.

Managed Properties are what SharePoint uses to Display Content.

POP QUIZ!

If I plan to use a Search-related Web Part

to show my content !

What kind of Property should I use?

MANAGED PROPERTY

Power to the Site Collection Administrators!

Search Schema

Managed Metadata managed at the Site Collection Level

Result Sources

No more Search Scopes (Except if you upgrade from SharePoint 2010)

Result Sources also replaceFederated Search

Result Types

Define conditions to identify certain result types and associate actions to them Usually used to change the display of these result types within the Search Results

Query Rules

Remember Best Bets? !Promoted Results?

Query Suggestions

Managed at the Farm Level from Central Administration Can be exported and manipulated, otherwise will grow with time

Content Search WebPart

Content Search

Essentially 2 thing 1. Query 2. Display

Demo

Display Templates

• Stored in “~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/” • Provides reusable displays for your Content • NO MORE XSLT! HTML and Javascript • Uses “Managed Properties” to show the content in right <div>

The basics of Display Template

Do not touch the JS

file

Example

Hmmmm

What if... !What if our entire page was 1 search result with a “page” display template.

BRANDINGwith SharePoint 2013

Branding before SharePoint 2013

What’s changed?

What’s the problem with this Picture?

HTML of SharePoint 2013

Now in HTML5 with other changes No more HTML Tables... SharePoint 2013 uses <div> like everyone else!

The Design Manager

Work without SharePoint Designer

Magic!

Convert an HTML page to a MASTER PAGE

Step-by-Step Convert HTML to Master Page

After converting, Code Snippets

Device Channels

Does not replace“CSS Media Queries” !Works by specifying a User Agent String and loads a different Master Page !

Design Package

•Creates a WSP for you •No Visual Studio Required !

•Not even close to being perfect

Composed Looks

WEB CONTENT MANAGEMENT

with SharePoint 2013

Product Catalog

A Site Collection template where lists/libraries meant to be reused like “Catalogs” should be stored. Then consumed by Publishing Sites.

Cross-Site Publishing

Managed Metadata Navigation

Use your Terms to create a navigation Finally some FRIENDLY urls

WORKFLOWSwith SharePoint 2013

New Service

Requires the installation of “Workflow Manager” Better Visio integration (Import/Export) New Actions: - Start another Workflow - Call an HTTP Web Service - Count - Wait for an event on a list item

MIGRATIONto SharePoint 2013

There can be only 1...upgrade scenario

according to Microsoft, only Database-Attach is supported

this is only from SP2010

2010 available in 2013
