Below are just some of the key integration points between Office XP and Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server. How to Access Digital Dashboard Support NEW Users can easily create Digital Dashboards to access their important information from Office or the Web right from within Outlook version 2002. Document Discussions NEW Users can insert and reply to a discussion on a document or Web site. By default, discussions are not displayed within a document, but can easily be expanded for viewing purposes. Document Subscriptions NEW Office users can subscribe to documents and folders, and they can even search and categorize their subscriptions.
Notifications can fire immediately or be batched within a particular interval.
The file menu in Office applications is enhanced to allow documents to be checked in, checked out, and submitted for publication without ever leaving Office. Property Promotion NEW Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server synchronizes Office document properties set inside a document with those in the document profile. If a document contains an author property, that value is promoted to the document profile. If a document profile is edited, it is updated in the underlying document. Collaboration Toolbar NEW Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server servers are valid Collaboration Servers within the Office 2000 collaboration toolbar.
