i’m trying to set up a sharepoint site for a technical research project – using a set of folders for each group of users containing lists of ideas for new tasks, project plans for existing tasks, descriptions of tasks, results, published findings – and for everybody to access a discussion area, a literature area and an area for meetings output (all these in MS-Office applications, PPT, WORD, EXCEL)
What I would like is a tool that can be used by anybody in the project to generate an automated report of the project status, where the user can select content from a list of the contents described above)…wd be great if they could click a tick list of content and then have an automatically generated report summarising the content they asked for…
this could be done if all the documents used hyperlinks, but think this would be painful to implement for everyone… anyone done aything like this in sharepoint before and if so how?…if not, why not and any suggestions on how you might go about it?
thanks
Glad my recommendation was Helpful, Dave. Even though we went from SP2007 to SP2013, I still found Dux’s book helpful!
