SharePoint Tng-Functional Overview (0:39:49 - 1:54.55)

Adding columns to a list is very similar to Access

1. The syntax appears to be the same
2. Datasheet view(table view) vs Standard View (quick form)
3. Calculated columns - =datedif([Column 1],[column 2],"d")
   
4. Hyperlink to other pages (but it wasn't clear how he knew what to type)
   
5. Adding multiple entries to a column means no sorting, only filtering.  
   

Working with Views

1. Create View takes me to the list of view formats Standard, calendar, access, datasheet and Gantt
2. Can rename views as well
3. Works very similar to Access

Versioning

1. Check out means you lock the editing of the document.   It is only available for documents.
2. Can lock it on the server or temporarily to your my-documents, keeping it locked until you finish working and re-check it back in.   Can use offline this way, no one can change it while you have it, and then your amended copy is reloaded and the check out flag is removed.
3. Working offline is faster than working on the copy that is still on the server.   But working on the server is fine for a quick, minor change.
4. Publishing features allow control over the documents (doesn't apply to anything else).
1. Can tell who checked it out by hovering over icon before title of document
2. Versioning settings can control the documents to be checked out.
3. The changes are self-reported.
4. For any materials we are all working on, this makes it much easier to avoid stomping on each other.
5. Versioning and checkin is set list by list, no global setting.
6. Versioning can number for major or minor changes.  Changing a minor version to major changes the version number.  (e.g. 3.1 would become 4.0)
7. Can require an approval process. 
5. Versioning can be for tasks as well.
