Introducing Content Types for Microsoft
Windows SharePoint Services

Objectives                          •    Walkthrough of content types and new property editing functionality in
                                         Windows SharePoint Services V3.
                                Using content types in Windows SharePoint Services V3 enables administrators
Scenario                        to define, organize and manage the metadata and behaviors of a document or
                                item type in a centralized, reusable way. You can define columns and content
                                types for reuse throughout your site, and then manage how changes to those
                                columns and content types are administered. You can even extend content types
                                to implement your own custom solutions by storing custom XML data within the
                                types. All this without undue overhead for the site users: content types are
                                designed and implemented so that they can be as simple or complex as you need
                                them to be.
                                Document Information Panel Overview
Detailed Overview               Often in document management systems, users are asked to provide metadata
                                (properties) on the documents that they are saving. In many cases, users are
                                asked at a point when they are saving and they don’t give it any serious
                                consideration. It is not uncommon for all documents to contain default or fake
                                values. Users just want to get their document saved and closed; they don’t want
                                to answer a bunch of questions.
                                Windows SharePoint Services V3 introduces a fresh approach to property
                                gathering. All documents that start from a document library template will already
                                contain the properties that are necessary for the library. These can be entered
                                offline or online. The server properties are displayed in a pane at the top of the
                                document that is called the Property Editor. The location is designed to better
                                facilitate property entry at the beginning of the document authoring cycle, before
                                the content is even started.
                                Content Types Overview
                                A Content Type is really a collection of settings that define a particular object
                                that can live on servers running Windows SharePoint Services V3. Most
                                organizations have at least a few “core” documents that everyone creates. This
                                can be training manuals, design documents, legal briefs, proposals, etc. For those
                                types of documents, it is valuable to take advantage of Content Types because
                                you can create rich template objects that can be reused across multiple libraries
                                and sites.
                                At its heart, a Content Type contains a name, a set of properties, a document
                                template, any workflows that are applicable, and any policies that should be
                                enforced. For example, let’s say I want to define a standard memo for my
                                organization. I would first enable Content Types for a library. Then I would
                                define what my Memo should be. I’ll create a template for it, launched from the
                                New button in Windows SharePoint Services. I’ll define a set of properties I
                                want to collect. Maybe, I want it to support an approval workflow I’ve designed,
                                and let’s say that each document should have restricted permission so that it can
                                only be viewed by people on my team. By going through this effort once, I can
                                create a reusable package that can be deployed across my organization and
                                centrally managed and updated from a single location.
                                In this exercise, we will focus on the properties portion of a Content Type. There
                                are two related concepts that can be used together or can be used separately. Both
                                of these aren’t necessary to use Content Type functionality, but they enable the

                                 ability to share and reuse these definitions across multiple libraries. The two
                                 features are:
                                 Content Type Templates –This will allow you to easily associate Column
                                 Templates, a custom Document Information Panel, workflows, policies, etc. in a
                                 single place. Doing so creates a template that can be reused in multiple libraries
                                 and updated/modified centrally and pushed out to all people who use the Content
                                 Type Template. This functionality really enables a company to standardize the
                                 set of documents that people can create and how they will function when in
                                 Windows SharePoint Services V3.
                                 Column Templates – Column Templates are useful to define a set of shared
                                 columns that can be reused across multiple libraries. This ensures that people
                                 don’t create multiple versions of the same property. They can be added easily to
                                 any library or Content Type on a library. By default, Windows SharePoint
                                 Services V3 ships a number of useful column templates that can be used.

Exercise 2
Working with Content Type Templates
Scenario
Content Type Templates allow you to easily associate Column Templates, a custom Document Information Panel,
workflows, policies, etc. in a single place. This creates a template that can be reused in multiple libraries and
updated/modified centrally and pushed out to all people who use the Content Type Template.

                           c. This will launch InfoPath 2007 and you will be presented with a dialog stating
                              InfoPath 2007 is about to create a form based on the Content Type.




                           d. Select the Finish button
                           e. You may notice some progress dialogs as InfoPath 2007 retrieves information
                              from the server. Once complete, the form template should now be presented in
                              InfoPath 2007 to customize.

Introducing Content Types for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services
Tasks                      Detailed Steps




                           Note: Spend a moment to familiarize yourself with the InfoPath 2007 Designer if this
                           is the first time you’ve used it. You should see a task pane on the right with common
                           tasks to perform. The Designer will present a slightly different view then what an end
                           user would see (all of the boxes with borders aren’t normally shown). You can always
                           preview what the form will look like by selecting “Preview” in the toolbar.




                           Note: In addition, you will notice that each control is located within a “Layout
                           region” box. It is highly recommended to place any future controls into one of these
                           regions, because this is what allows the controls to reflow with the size of the users
                           screen. Otherwise they will be in a fixed position that could require the user to scroll
                           horizontally within the Document Information Panel itself.




                           Note: Also notice that different controls are nested within other controls. Your
                           selection is very important when trying to change attributes on a control. Make sure
                           that the control you are trying to modify is actually the one that is selected by
                           observing where the white boxes which appear around a selected control. Title is
                           selected in the example below:

Introducing Content Types for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services
Tasks                      Detailed Steps




                           Note: Finally, you can set the size, display attributes, setup conditional formatting,
                           rules, etc. by double-clicking on the control itself or right-clicking and selecting
                           “<controlType> Properties”. This is where you will spend a majority of your time
                           while customizing.




   3. Customize a          Note: InfoPath 2007 is a very powerful XML Forms application with many
        Document           capabilities not highlighted in this example. In this lab we’re just going to do a couple
        Information        quick changes just to show the entire publishing process, which only scratches the
        Panel              surface capabilities of InfoPath 2007.
                           a. Select the “Company Name” title region and press CTRL+B to make the text
                              bold.
                           b. Select the same title again and make the Font Color red from the font toolbar.

                           c. Now, let’s add a picture. Select Layout from the Design Tasks task pane




                           d. Put the cursor to the left-most position on the form (before Title, outside the
                              existing Horizontal region) and then click the Horizontal Region item in the Task
                              Pane




                           e. This should insert a new region where the cursor was located. It will be pretty
                              large by default.

                           f. Click on the region to activate it, and use the resize controls to shrink the region
                              until the layout looks similar to the following




                           g. Click to place the cursor inside the region and go to the Insert menu | Picture |
                              Clip Art…This should bring up the Clip Art task pane.

                           l. Resize the image and region so that they are roughly the same size as the other
                              controls. You will need to first resize the image, then the region. When complete
                              it should look something like this:




   4. Add a new view       a. Select the task pane drop-down (accessed via the text “Clip Art”) and change to

Conclusion
In this lab, you learned how creating and managing custom properties in document libraries have been improved in
Windows SharePoint Services V3. You also used the Document Information Panel to quickly and easily fill out
property information on a document being saved into a SharePoint document library. Finally, you walked through
the set up of a new content type on a document library. The content type included custom columns, created as
column templates, and a custom Document Information Panel which you edited using Microsoft Office InfoPath
2007.

  • 3. Introducing Content Types for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Introducing Content Types for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services In completing this lab, you will be provided a: Objectives • Walkthrough of content types and new property editing functionality in Windows SharePoint Services V3. Using content types in Windows SharePoint Services V3 enables administrators Scenario to define, organize and manage the metadata and behaviors of a document or item type in a centralized, reusable way. You can define columns and content types for reuse throughout your site, and then manage how changes to those columns and content types are administered. You can even extend content types to implement your own custom solutions by storing custom XML data within the types. All this without undue overhead for the site users: content types are designed and implemented so that they can be as simple or complex as you need them to be. Document Information Panel Overview Detailed Overview Often in document management systems, users are asked to provide metadata (properties) on the documents that they are saving. In many cases, users are asked at a point when they are saving and they don’t give it any serious consideration. It is not uncommon for all documents to contain default or fake values. Users just want to get their document saved and closed; they don’t want to answer a bunch of questions. Windows SharePoint Services V3 introduces a fresh approach to property gathering. All documents that start from a document library template will already contain the properties that are necessary for the library. These can be entered offline or online. The server properties are displayed in a pane at the top of the document that is called the Property Editor. The location is designed to better facilitate property entry at the beginning of the document authoring cycle, before the content is even started. Content Types Overview A Content Type is really a collection of settings that define a particular object that can live on servers running Windows SharePoint Services V3. Most organizations have at least a few “core” documents that everyone creates. This can be training manuals, design documents, legal briefs, proposals, etc. For those types of documents, it is valuable to take advantage of Content Types because you can create rich template objects that can be reused across multiple libraries and sites. At its heart, a Content Type contains a name, a set of properties, a document template, any workflows that are applicable, and any policies that should be enforced. For example, let’s say I want to define a standard memo for my organization. I would first enable Content Types for a library. Then I would define what my Memo should be. I’ll create a template for it, launched from the New button in Windows SharePoint Services. I’ll define a set of properties I want to collect. Maybe, I want it to support an approval workflow I’ve designed, and let’s say that each document should have restricted permission so that it can only be viewed by people on my team. By going through this effort once, I can create a reusable package that can be deployed across my organization and centrally managed and updated from a single location. In this exercise, we will focus on the properties portion of a Content Type. There are two related concepts that can be used together or can be used separately. Both of these aren’t necessary to use Content Type functionality, but they enable the Page 1 of 25
  • 4. Introducing Content Types for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services ability to share and reuse these definitions across multiple libraries. The two features are: Content Type Templates –This will allow you to easily associate Column Templates, a custom Document Information Panel, workflows, policies, etc. in a single place. Doing so creates a template that can be reused in multiple libraries and updated/modified centrally and pushed out to all people who use the Content Type Template. This functionality really enables a company to standardize the set of documents that people can create and how they will function when in Windows SharePoint Services V3. Column Templates – Column Templates are useful to define a set of shared columns that can be reused across multiple libraries. This ensures that people don’t create multiple versions of the same property. They can be added easily to any library or Content Type on a library. By default, Windows SharePoint Services V3 ships a number of useful column templates that can be used. Estimated Time to 90 Minutes Complete This Lab Computer used in this Lab MOSS Page 2 of 25
  • 5. Introducing Content Types for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Exercise 1 Using the Document Information Panel to Manage Custom Scenario In this exercise we will create a new document library with several custom properties. Once the custom properties are set up, we will save a document to the library and see how the Document Information Panel is used to update the custom properties for the new document Tasks Detailed Steps Complete the following a.

  • 14. Introducing Content Types for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Tasks Detailed Steps Note: Spend a moment to familiarize yourself with the InfoPath 2007 Designer if this is the first time you’ve used it. You should see a task pane on the right with common tasks to perform. The Designer will present a slightly different view then what an end user would see (all of the boxes with borders aren’t normally shown). You can always preview what the form will look like by selecting “Preview” in the toolbar. Note: In addition, you will notice that each control is located within a “Layout region” box. It is highly recommended to place any future controls into one of these regions, because this is what allows the controls to reflow with the size of the users screen. Otherwise they will be in a fixed position that could require the user to scroll horizontally within the Document Information Panel itself. Note: Also notice that different controls are nested within other controls. Your selection is very important when trying to change attributes on a control. Make sure that the control you are trying to modify is actually the one that is selected by observing where the white boxes which appear around a selected control. Title is selected in the example below: Page 12 of 25
  • 15. Introducing Content Types for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Tasks Detailed Steps Note: Finally, you can set the size, display attributes, setup conditional formatting, rules, etc. by double-clicking on the control itself or right-clicking and selecting “<controlType> Properties”.

Finally, you walked through the set up of a new content type on a document library. The content type included custom columns, created as column templates, and a custom Document Information Panel which you edited using Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007. Page 25 of 25
