Document Review and Cartoons by PleaseTech
Document Review and Cartoons by PleaseTech
Blog Posts

At PleaseTech, we have found that cartoons can be a very good way to get a message across- simply. We develop solutions to facilitate collaborative document review and this can be a challenging subject to explain in a few words! In fact, we do receive great feedback on our cartoons and now they have now taken on a life of their own.
We’ve just launched a new cartoon website (www.documentreviewcartoons.com) which takes a humorous view on events and stories that appear in the world media- from a document review point, of course. We believe that if only the right document review tool had been used, then things may have turned out quite differently!

“How to Kill Innovation in SharePoint in 5 Easy Steps” by Christian Buckley, Axceler
Blog Posts

Earlier this year, there was a great article by Jason Hiner, Editor in Chief of TechRepublic, in which he provides guidance on the habits to avoid if innovation is in any way important to your company or team (and I’m guessing that it is). The title is an attention-getter, and got me thinking: what are the quickest ways to kill innovation within SharePoint?

As Jason mentions in his article, it’s easier to mess things up than it is to get things right. That’s certainly true with SharePoint, where a clear understanding of your business objectives and careful planning, architecture, and execution are the key to success. While his broad business innovation-killers are certainly true in this context, there are a number of things which are unique to (or at least more relevant to) SharePoint.

Show or Hide Ribbon Tab Based on User Permissions by Johan Olivier, Qorus

Recently I wanted to figure out how to show or hide a custom developed SharePoint Ribbon Tab based on the permissions of a logged in SharePoint user.

I have a custom SharePoint 2010 Ribbon Tab with the title ‘Show or Hide Tab’ and I want to hide the tab if a current logged in user is a member of the ‘Root Visitors’ security group.

I do not want to hide the entire ribbon and I also do not want to hide only the inactive buttons. The standard ribbon tabs like ‘Documents’ and ‘Library’ must be visible for all users and audience targeting must be applied only against my new custom ribbon tab.

I can imagine that the requirement is quite a common one. You might want to develop a set of custom tabs which are only visible to users who are members of a specific SharePoint group.

Last week when I was consulting one of my clients I came across a situation that felt to me like a Déjà-vu. The “usual suspect”, someone within an organization with sufficient management influence gets convinced by some Microsoft marketing campaign or other coincidental event that SharePoint and/or ProjectServer is the solution for all problems regarding project and content management within organizations. Licenses are bought and someone from the internal IT installs the software according to some installation manual found in the web. Now, according to Microsoft’s marketing campaign the magic should happen! But – nothing happens, no Harry Potter, no Houdini act – just the same usual problems as every time. Congratulations, you just installed another software that will never be used were Sliver Exhibitors at the European SharePoint Conference 2011.
