I am hoping to create an Executive users page that will embed the Project Summary timelines of many individual project sites.
Example Situation: I have a top level page called Customers that is used by Executives and Project Managers. Sub-sites on that page link to additional pages that by design should be for each my companies customers. So I have customer sub-sites for Alpha, Beta and Charlie. Each customer page then has sub-sites of Projects for that customer which in turn contains the Tasks Web application. The Tasks Web app provides a Project Summary which displays a Timeline and other elements such as the Tasks list which is used to manage the projects. Alpha has projects going on in San Diego, Carlsbad and La Jolla. What I am hoping to accomplish is grabbing the Project Summary timeline (and only the timeline) for each city and have it embedded on the top level Customers page with the idea that Executives could look at that page and get a quick overview of Work In Progress for all customers with active projects.
I am very new to SharePoint Online and Office365. Politely requesting response with enough detail to help someone new to these products is greatly appreciated.
I have been working with SharePoint for about 3 weeks. I do know how to work with web parts, lists, forms. I have spent a good amount of time pouring through just about everything I can find to educate myself. I worked in IT back in the days when IBM was king (dating myself here). A computer programmer in the 80’s, executive IT management in the 90’s and then I changed careers. The reason for the history is simply that while I do not have Sharepoint experience I don’t have issues with concepts. I’m feeling more of my trouble is not knowing where to go to find what I’m looking for.
Oddly enough, I quit IT and programming 15 years ago because it just wasn’t fun anymore. Id been doing it since I was a teen. This SharePoint has brought the fun factor back. I could see myself getting into this and maybe look at coding again as something to do in “retirement”.
Thank you so much for the reply. If you can expand on it with my having shared a little information on myself and where I’m at I would certainly appreciate it.
How far have you got with this so far? e.g Do you know how to add a web part to a page?
