Hi guys,
I’ve just started to use SP for a restaurant with 70 employees. However, there will only be about 5 users using SP as the office is obviously quite relativity small.
What i want to achieve is grant various ‘departments’ (departments consist of 1 employee) with different SP’s, mainly for the reason of easy monitoring. Now, i’m an absolute beginner and by no means IT savvy. I’ve come here because I’m not finding the explanation i require on the Office 365 site, please be patient.
Question 1: SP Home – Look and Feel
How do i ‘decorate’ the Home of a SP? e.g. with a project related department, rather than having ‘Tasks’, is it possible to have a ‘Gantt Chart’?
Question 2: Allocating Subsites
Departments have sensitive information that I’m not keen on sharing with people who do not need to know, however, departments need to interact. So I’ve figured out that a SP can have various subsites within it but my question is, is it possible to allocate access to a single subsite to various SP’s? e.g. two departments; Marketing and Accounting need to interact with regards to budgets and payments, however, neither of them need to have any more access to the others information. Therefore, I would like to create a subsite called ‘Budgets and Payments’ which both SP’s can access.
Thanks for your time in advance,
Jon
Now , you want to create the site in Share point 2013
Sure, if there are lots of restaurant’s owners with 70 people struggling w/ O365, we may even consider to go open source writing a few blog posts, finishing up PDF whitepaper 🙂
Back to questions, then.
1) You don’t decorate SP, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and your car. You may consider rename or create new list, tasks or whatever it is, changing/creating default view as you wish – Gantt, ListView, Card View so on.
2) You may consider creating subsites for every department you have – HR/marketing/Legal and so on. Every subsite might have unique permission and unique permission group assigned. Fr such a small company and team, having subwebs would be fine. As the next step, you may consider having “shared” spaces (just libraries/subsites) to address “shared content” scenarios. It might be recommend to created something like “public/shared’ lists/libraries for every subsite so you may “publish/share” the content you need.
For the pilot start, it might be quite enough.
Let me know how it sounds to you, and if you have any concerns/clarifications.
Hi guys,
i have Office 365 E3 subscription, so I’m paying for it.
i can contact you directly… however, shouldn’t we discuss this in public for other people who might have the same issues?
Does this conversation is moving in right direction? After all you are more experienced than me.
