SharePoint Fest Chicago - SharePoint 2010 Integration and Interoperability: W...Richard Harbridge
SharePoint 2010 provides interoperability capabilities through the Business Connectivity Services (BCS) which allows external data to be integrated into SharePoint and Office applications. The BCS uses external content types to describe external data structures and metadata and expose the data through external lists that can be used like standard SharePoint lists. Tools like SharePoint Designer and Visual Studio can be used to configure BCS connectivity and integrate external data, but there are also limitations to what BCS can support.
The Business Data Catalog (BDC) is a framework in SharePoint Server 2007 Enterprise Edition that allows integration of line-of-business systems and databases without custom coding. It uses metadata to define entities, methods, and associations for connecting to and retrieving read-only data from external systems via web services or ADO.NET. Administrators import BDC metadata to create applications that provide data to SharePoint sites using out-of-the-box web parts, columns, search, and profiles synchronization. Programmers can also access BDC entities through the object model.
The document discusses various technical issues related to developing and maintaining the IFRS-GP taxonomy, including versioning, modularization, architecture, translation, element search, accounting concepts, and extensions. It explores potential solutions such as providing a consistent taxonomy extension framework, addressing rounding errors, and convergence with other standards.

I have included the deck here so that you can have easier access to the links shown in my presentation. The video of me going through the deck is here: https://collab365.community/started-business-become-microsoft-partner-can/ (as well as on YouTube) but the deck has been updated a bit since then.
Please note that in this session, I will not talk about selling my company, my other adventures as a Microsoft partner, or dig very deep into my experience of running the company. This is mostly about beginning the journey. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at nikkia@nikkiatcarter.me
SharePoint vs Microsoft Teams vs Office 365 Groups: What Should I Use When?Nikkia Carter
Delivered on 14 February 2019 to SUGDC (SharePoint User Group of DC).
Microsoft technology is moving at a rapid pace. New ways to work are being developed rapidly as well. A few such new tools are Office 365 Groups and Microsoft Teams. These look powerful and promising but they seem similar. Also, where do they fit with SharePoint? In this session, we will look at what each is, what their differences are, and when is the best time to use each.
Recorded for SharePoint Saturday VA Beach 2019
If you are like me, you love InfoPath. Even if you don't love it, you probably have respect for it (even if grudgingly). It had been around for a long time and we have done some amazing things with it but it could be a bit decrepit at times. Along comes PowerApps and it is awesome and continually getting better but it's no InfoPath... Yet. In this session, we will look at the differences between the two and when to use each.
Introduction to Office 365 Administration - SPSVB 2019Nikkia Carter
The document provides an overview of the Office 365 Admin Center and its key areas and functions.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

11. What is InfoPath?
11
Microsoft InfoPath is a software application for designing,
distributing, filling and submitting electronic forms containing
structured data.
It adheres to the XML paradigm of separating the data in a
document from the formatting
Features a WYSIWYG form design area in which the various
controls (dropdowns, text boxes, etc.) are bound to data fields
represented separately as a hierarchical tree view of folders and
data fields.
Microsoft initially released InfoPath as part of Microsoft Office
2003 family.
In summer 2010, Microsoft released a new version that split
InfoPath into two applications: InfoPath Designer 2010 is used to
create forms and define data structures, and InfoPath Filler 2010
is used to fill out and submit forms.

Features
•Rules apply specific actions when triggered by button
clicks or changing values in the form. They can change the
values of fields in the data source, submit to and query
databases, display messages, open and close forms, and
switch to different views of the form.
•Data Validation tests the validity of input into fields by
comparing the input to patterns, checking for the correct
data type (such as a string or an integer), and in other
customizable ways.
•Conditional Formatting can be used to change the
appearance or visibility of objects based on values in the
form.Created by Carter-McGowan Services,
LLC @CarterMcGServ
www.cartermcgowanservices.com
14. What is InfoPath?
14
Features (cont)
•InfoPath has many different ActiveX Controls, all of which
have a value bound to a field in the form's data source.
Common controls include:
•List boxes
•Radio buttons
•Text boxes
•Buttons
•Check boxes.
•Calculated Values, which display the result of xPath
expressions, and sections, which are containers for other
controls.
•Repeating fields and sections, which can store many different
values.Created by Carter-McGowan Services,
LLC @CarterMcGServ
www.cartermcgowanservices.com
15. What is InfoPath?
15
Features (cont)
•XPath Expressions and Functions can be used to
calculate values by applying functions to the value of fields
in the form, such as "concat(string(field1 + field2), "#;",
field3)" (the concatenation of the sum of two fields, the
string "#;", and the value of another field). XPath functions
for manipulation of strings, simple mathematical operations,
and many other operations are included in InfoPath.
•InfoPath supports Connections to External
Datasources. SQL, Microsoft Access, and SharePoint
databases can be connected to and submitted in the form.

Features (cont)
•JScript, Visual Basic, C#, and other languages can be
used to extend InfoPath's capabilities by adding custom
HTML taskpanes, iterating through data, using Active
Directory, and generally accomplishing tasks that are
impossible in the InfoPath design environment.
•SharePoint integration
•User Roles can customize a user's experience by
changing views or using conditional formatting based on
the identity of the user.
•InfoPath's formatting capabilities and user interface are
similar to Microsoft Word 2003 and 2010, depending on
version.Created by Carter-McGowan Services,

22. What are List Forms?
22
The SharePoint List form template is used to
customize the form that is used to create, view,
and edit items in a SharePoint List.
You start by specifying a new or existing
SharePoint list, and InfoPath automatically
generates the list form.
After you customize the form, publish it back to
SharePoint in one click using the InfoPath
Designer Quick Publish feature.

24. What are Form Library Forms?
24
The SharePoint Form Library template is used to
design a form for collecting data in a SharePoint
form library.
InfoPath starts you out with a basic layout that can
be quickly tailored by adding controls, selecting
from available SharePoint Themes in the Page
Design tab of the ribbon, and customizing your
submit options.
Basically, it is a form (document) that is published
to a library and coupled so that the data in the form
can be exposed as library fields.
Typically, more features available than in the List

Workflow Functions
What are the workflow options in SharePoint?
OOTB Workflows – OOTB, or Out-of-the-Box, workflows are
prebuilt workflows that come standard with SharePoint. The
user would simply instantiate and configure the WF based on
the options given.
SharePoint Designer Workflows – These WFs are those that
can be created using data gathered from SharePoint and
prebuilt WF “parts” that can be linked together to create a
website.
InfoPath Workflows – Workflows can be created using the
conditions, actions, and email capabilities in InfoPath.
Visual Studio Workflows – These are workflows that are
highly customized through writing code in Visual Studio.

What is a Workflow?
Workflows are used to manage business processes for
applications and human collaboration and be as simple or
complex as a business process requires.
Workflows are built based on conditions and actions which
are linked together in a logical chain.

• If the workflow has multiple participants, it can be sent one
at a time (serial) or multiple participants at the same time
(parallel), going through every participant until the
workflow ends.
• You can even set up the workflow in stages, with a series
of serial tasks and parallel tasks containing different
participants.

Most workflows you use in SharePoint are like this:
User fills out form… User clicks submit button…
Someone is notified…
That person probably takes action (performs task)…
That person may fill in the form with some info…
That person clicks the submit button…
Workflow ends or next person gets notified…

• This form is (cont.):
• A browser based form deployed to SP 2013 (SPOnline) but it can be deployed to SP
Server as well.
• Deployed as a content type.
• NOTE:
• The use of sections in the form to help with hiding sections until each form submit
stage and to help with only showing the link to the form when emailed to the
supervisor and accounting.
• The signatures are not digital because I feel there is no need since SP can track
who did what when by turning on versioning in the library that is using it.
• See Tips slides at the end for tips on publishing and other useful info.
• Feel free to explore and reuse parts but please do not sell.
• Feel free to reach out to me!

template and publish it to a server that is
running InfoPath Forms Services.
Microsoft Excel
Users can choose to export data from one
or more InfoPath forms into a new Excel
worksheet.
You can convert an Excel workbook to an
InfoPath form template by using the Import
Wizard in InfoPath.
Microsoft Outlook
You can distribute form templates to users
by publishing the form template to a list of e-
mail message recipients. Similarly, you can
design a form template so that users can
submit completed forms as an attachment in
an e-mail message.

You can connect your form template to an
existing Access database. Users can then query
or submit data to that database. Similarly, you
can populate list boxes with values from the
database or bind.
You can also create an InfoPath form template
based on an Access database and then publish
the form template to a list of recipients as an e-
mail message.
Microsoft Word

Microsoft Script
Editor
It is possible to use Microsoft JScript or Microsoft
Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) in your
form template by accessing the Microsoft Script
Editor (MSE) from design mode.
Microsoft Visual
Studio Tools for
Applications
(VSTA)
If you know how to write managed code, you can
access VSTA (Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for
Applications (VSTA) from design mode in order
to create, edit, and debug Microsoft Visual Basic
or Microsoft Visual C# code.
Microsoft Visual
Studio
You can integrate InfoPath design-mode features
into the Microsoft Visual Studio development
environment by downloading and installing
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft
Office System on your computer. You can then
open Visual Studio, create an InfoPath form
template project, and use design-mode features
to design your form template.

Web services
You can connect your form template to a Web
service in order to exchange XML data with other
programs or systems such as an Oracle
database, which is not directly supported by
InfoPath. You can also populate list boxes with
values that come from the Web service or bind
controls to the fields and groups associated with
the Web service.
XML Schemas
You can base your form template's design on an
XML Schema (.xsd) that is already being used
by your organization. For example, if your
organization uses a specific .xsd file for expense
reports, you can base the design of a form
template for expense reports on that .xsd file. If
you don't have an existing schema, InfoPath
builds one for you when you add controls to your
form template.

NOTE: If you are using InfoPath Designer 2010 or 2013
and you have SharePoint 2007, you cannot use List
Forms at this time, only the Form Library Form.
NOTE: To design a form, right click on it in Windows
Explorer (files) and choose Design from the dropdown,
not Open. Open will open the form for submitting data
like it does in Preview mode.Created by Carter-McGowan Services,

49. Tips
49
Publishing – When publishing a document you
should keep the following in mind:
Publishing as new : When you publish a document for the first
time, you must first publish it to that site before you set up the data
connection if you are going to have InfoPath Designer create the
Form Library for you. It is recommended that you have InfoPath
create the Form Library instead of manually creating it. You must
also use the full publish (File -> Publish -> SharePoint Server).
Moving a form using publish: When you are publishing it to a
new site for the first time, the above (publishing as new) applies.
If the form is redirecting a form to publish to a place where it has
already been published, you must change the data connections to
point to the site where you want it redirected. If you do not do this,
the form will publish but all submitted data will go to the previous
site. You must also use the full publish (File -> Publish ->
SharePoint Server). DO NOT use the Quick Publish.

50. Tips

Publishing – When publishing a document you
should keep the following in mind (etc.):
Publish as a modification: When modifying the form but not
moving it to a new location or publishing it new, use the Quick
Publish button. If you need to promote new fields, do so before
using the QP button (File -> Form Options [Advanced Form
Options] -> Property Promotion)
NOTE: Sometimes wen publishing you many get an error that the
server can’t be reached even though you have already published
your form once or even multiple times before. You will need to
clear the cache. First close all of your InfoPath forms then click
Start -> Run > type in InfoPath /cache clearall. InfoPath will open
without the List Form, Form Library Form, and other options
present. Close that InfoPath and reopen your InfoPath forms in
Design mode.
