Course details

SharePoint 2013 also provides powerful search capabilities that you can make use of to easily locate any items across a SharePoint site. This version of SharePoint also continues to offer integration with the Microsoft Office suite of products, allowing you to create new Office documents from within SharePoint, or to launch either the full version or Web App version of a product as needed. This course covers participating in a community site, including joining the site, viewing categories and membership, discussions, and leaving the site. In addition. This course explores administering a community site by managing discussions, creating categories, adjusting settings, creating and assigning badges, and configuring reputation settings. Using the basic search functionality included with SharePoint 2013 is also covered, as well as launching Office applications from within SharePoint 2013 and using the Office Web Apps.
