Jump Start Your SharePoint Setup
Have you set up your Windows® SharePoint site yet? This time-saving online collaboration tool is included with your Comcast Business Class™ Internet service. With pre-built modules, called Web Parts, you can get a head start on setting up SharePoint’s most popular time-saving features. Some of the most commonly used Web Parts include functions like:
• Document Library
• Discussion Board
• Calendar
• Task Lists
Document Library
Store all of your documents in one place so all of your employees can get to them, no matter where they are.
- Realtors can keep folders on each property complete with a picture of the property, the listing contract, inspection documents
- General contractors can store all the blueprints and plans for their latest remodeling project as well as the construction schedule. By giving their electrician, carpenter and plumber access to the files everyone can stay on schedule.
Discussion Board
Share ideas among all of your employees without filling up email boxes. Involve your employees in addressing business challenges, whether tackling a particularly sticky customer issue or creating new company policies. Employees feel like they are part of the solution if you keep them involved and some of the most creative ideas come from brainstorming.
Calendar
Keep a company calendar that everyone can add to so that you know where everyone is on any given day and they can find you. You can also develop project calendars with key milestones that everyone can view.
- Attorneys can keep a listing of clients’ court appearances
- Landscapers can keep track of clients’ yard maintenance schedules
Task Lists
Maintain task lists for particular projects and share them with all employees involved.
- CPAs can share task lists with their support teams to ensure they are getting back to clients with quarterly tax filings on a timely basis
- Restaurant managers can create task lists to ensure products are ordered on time and cleaning schedules are maintained
- Event planners can keep track of the multitude of tasks required to plan an annual corporate meeting, for example, from finalizing details with caterers, audio-visual teams and presenters, to sending out ‘save the dates’ and directions.
