SharePoint Batch Check In updated

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:24:58 GMT

Check in documents using SharePoint Batch Check In.

SharePoint Batch Check In lets you check-in files without compromising document versioning integrity. Normally, when you upload multiple documents to a SharePoint document library, form library, or picture library, the files will remain checked-out unless you manually check in each file individually. This can be a time consuming task, especially if you are checking in several hundred documents at once. SharePoint Batch Check In solves this problem by allowing you to bulk check in a group of checked-out files all at one time, as well as upload & simultaneously check in multiple new documents.

Updates in V2.3.1125

Edit managed metadata columns
Edit external data columns
Automatically enter default values
Users can choose to replace original non-blank value of columns
Compatible with SharePoint Cascaded Lookup, Cross-Site Lookup Column and SharePoint Column Permissions
Check in the local drafts that have been checked

Enterprise Capacity Solution V1.3.0 released

Wed, 05 Oct 2011 14:01:13 GMT

Permission inheritance in Enterprise Capacity Solution.

Let your SharePoint users browse and manage multiple site collections seamlessly.

Enterprise Capacity Solution provides security-trimmed cross-site collection navigation, permission and master page inheritance and transparent site collection creation, so you can let your users browse and manage multiple site collections seamlessly. Enterprise Capacity Solution (ECS) allows you to manage all your document and files in SharePoint (regardless of the volume), simplify the user experience by providing a unified navigation system across site collections, inherit permissions between sites located in different site collections and copy your custom master page across different site collections.

Features

Cross-site collection navigation with zero maintenance, no need to manually map site collections!
Security-trimmed navigation, each user sees only what she is allowed to see through regular SharePoint permissions
Automatic permission inheritance across site collections (replication and synchronization of SharePoint groups, domain groups and individual users)
Transparent creation of site collections by end users
New!Choose managed paths of new site collections
Navigation provider-based, no need to introduce 3rd party navigation controls, such as web parts
One click installation, no changes need to be made to the existing sites
Install in your existing web application and map the site collections using just your browser in minutes
Safely split your SharePoint site into multiple site collections, without affecting the familiar site structure

Microsoft SharePoint-based document management solutions provide a feature-rich, easy to use and cost-effective platform for managing the complete lifecycle of your documents and files. Features, such as version management, metadata and item-level security, easily tilt your infrastructure selection deliberation towards SharePoint.

Unfortunately, there are built-in capacity limitations that could prove to be hazardous if not taken into account beforehand. SharePoint stores all of its data (e.g. files, metadata, site structure) in content databases. You can assign multiple content databases to a single SharePoint web application, but each site collection (a top-level site with the hierarchy of children sites) must reside in a single database, which can be shared by multiple site collections. When using SharePoint as your primary file storage, the database size grows very rapidly and could easily reach several hundreds of gigabytes within months. You need to keep in mind that all disaster recovery operations, such as backup and restore are performed at a single content database level at least. If the database grows too large, the chances of backup failure grow as well.

It is possible to create a system made up out of a combination of multiple site collections. Unfortunately, there are several key features that are not shared across site collections. These features include among others:

Unified navigation system
Permission inheritance
Master page inheritance
Site column and content type inheritance

Infowise Enterprise Capacity Solution (ECS) allows you to overcome the most serious limitations, by providing a custom unified navigation, permission inheritance and master page replication (optional).

The solution wraps around the site creation process to give the end users the ability to seamlessly create sites in new site collections (and by extension in new content databases), while preserving the simplicity of the regular site creation. Your new site looks like a regular child site, is placed directly under your current site in the navigation menus and optionally inherits its users and master page. ECS takes over the navigation and site creation components without changing the look and feel of the site and without introducing new visual elements.

As a result, your system appears to users as one unified structure, while in the background you decide how to split it into a set of content databases, which can be backed-up, moved and restored individually.

Infowise, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, is a leading provider of comprehensive add-on solutions for the Microsoft SharePoint platform. Infowise products are a direct result of years of extensive experience in the knowledge management field and innovative development approach.
