The Road to SharePoint 2010: Hidden Titbits (IT Pro Video)

I guess everyone saw the new videos of SharePoint 2010 posted by the product team? So, is every one getting excited by the new Ribbon interface, direct web edit, and so on? You should! While I was watching the videos I noticed a couple of things. And I thought I could share with you guys! Mind you, these are only some wild guesses from my part. They are just my interpretations of what I saw. These are all taken from the IT Pro Video.
  • List Settings:
    There seem to be some new options in there. More particulary: Validation Settings, Rating Settings, Metadata Navigation Settings, Per Location Settings “unknown” settings (can’t really read that one) and Generate File Plan Report . Don’t really know what they all could mean.

  • Send To Connections:
    Pretty obvious here. In the previous version we were allowed to have only one custom send to. This menu item seems to point to multiple ones!

  • Webservice for clientside SP manipulation:
    I guess this is the new webservice intended to run the queries we can launch on client side using the new client object model (more info on this in a later post)

  • Site/List Export:
    This is a nice feature! Three things I noticed

    • Why oh why has this to be a timerjob? Can’t we just export directly?
    • Oh, we got a new file format: .cmp. I wonder what goodness is inside! :-)
    • Nice work with the version export. We have some nice options there.

  • Site Settings:
    They showed us a quick look at the site settings. Looks like they changed the behaviour of this application page. It shows now the local navigation bar. Also some small new things: Search and Offline Availability (probably for the new SharePoint Workspace (groove)), Related Links Store Management and Term Store Management. Nifty!

Nice things in this video. SharePoint 2010 looks different, but we do recognize a lot of the options. Don’t let the ribbon fool you. ;-) I’ll try to post some more video reviews soon.

Good night all!
