Do you ask questions like these…
- If I only have to do this process twice a year, how am I going to find this spot again?
- How do I know which type of site is the right one to choose?
- Is there a simpler way to upload items?
- Can I share documents with my team members who work remotely?
- How can I get this information from SharePoint into an email?
- Should I create a page or a site?
With step-by-step guidance for the tasks you do most, you’ll never have to worry about remember how to create a list, add a field, add a user to a group, or many other SharePoint features. The book contains a detailed outline and index where you’ll find the SharePoint help you need simply by knowing what you want to get done.
Unlike most end user books which cover just the essential tasks, this book will help you take advantage of the many productivity – and efficiency-driving benefits that SharePoint 2013 offers. With flowchart-style decision trees and supporting descriptions, you’ll be lead through the common questions that users have – like what template to use when creating a site, and whether you should use active directory or SharePoint groups to manage security.
