SDS SharePoint Library Offers Free Reusable Tools.

March 1, 2012 - PRLog -- Strategic Data Systems has launched a free SharePoint Library. The SDS SharePoint Library is a collection of reusable tools and solutions you can use for no charge. Why create it from scratch when you can reuse what we have already built?

You can find the SDS SharePoint Library on CodePlex at: http://sdssharepointlibrary.codeplex.com/.

Sample tools you will find on the SDS SharePoint Library include:

Access Checker 2010.
Tired of checking user permissions one item at a time? Browse to the Access Checker, select a user (claims aware!), pick a role (view, contribute, full control), and receive a treeview of SharePoint content, color coded for the user's access. Green means the user has access, red means no access. This was previously available for SharePoint Services v3 / SharePoint Server 2007 at http://accesschecker.codeplex.com/. We have updated the solution to support SharePoint 2010.

File Upload Web Part.
SharePoint extranets / portals are a great way to provide B2B collaboration with partners, customers, or vendors. Some documents should only be submitted, and need to be secure. Use the File Upload Web Part for users to submit (and only submit) documents. Users do not know where the documents will end up (site owners specify a list of destinations), nor do they need access to the destination. Dynamic filename building supports timestamps, usernames, and more. Full auditing data (creator username and timestamp) is maintained.


And New Tools Coming Soon...

Active Directory Password Change.
Have remote users? Tired of logging into Outlook Web Access for password changes? This web part allows users to change their passwords.

Replace Document.
Upload a document's replacement without needing to match file names. Ensure that the new document is the same document type (file extension). Easy to include in SharePoint Designer workflows with just a link to your users.


New tools will continue to be added. Be sure to visit http:sds-consulting.com for the most recent updates.
