Query regd. Share Point |
|
|
Hi,
I'm new to Share Point. I've following requirements.
I've created a task list for a developer.
Now I want all the columns to be visible to me (who creates the task) and
the reviewer whom I designated as reviewer while creating. Even we can change
every fields.
But developer can see some of the columns in view and can edit some of the
fields, rest of them should be read only for him.
Also while editing, developer can select few options. Say I'have "Status"
column and drop down values in it are, 'not started', 'in progress', 'ready
for review', 'reviewed', 'accepted' etc. Developer should not be able to
select 'reviewed' & 'accepted' options.
Is it that I've to write a custom web part or a .Net application?
If, I required to write a separate application how do I use it in WSS.
Apart from this I've some more query as follows,
How search works in WSS? If I want to search for a person or task name, can
this be achieved?
Because currently it's not returning anything. Whatever I search for, it's
not returning anything. Is there something to do with configuration?
How do I achieve e-mail functionality on changing "Status" or "Assigned to"
columns' value?
Please help me as this is urgent.
Thanks a ton.
Regards,
Lotus |

I'm affraid you will have to write your own webpart for this purpose.
You should check, from the rights of the user (or audiences, or basically
whatever value you have specifying him as a developer), what he can do with
this webpart, and only display the fields you want hiom to see.
This is the same with the drop down values.
Sharepoint Portal Server manages security only at the Area level, while
Windows Sharepoint Services manages it at a list level. None of them are able
to limit the view of some fields, and even more the view of some values on a
specific field.
What you can start with is creating views for the users, managing the fields
displayed to the user in the view definition, but for data input, you will
have to make it on your own.

The same way than in Sharepoint Portal Server. Either you host it in the
same server, with the use of extended fields, or you can use the object model
from external applications.
I'd better see a webpart for that purpose, which you would include in the
pages accessible to your developers.

|
WSS search works by looking in the lists and documents of the current Web
(not sub webs), so persons queries won't work, and tasks will be returned if
they are list items in this web.
SPS indexes all the content in a separate architecture, and allows full text
search on merely all elements in the system.

|
Persons wont show up in the search on WSS, you should check, on SPS, the
search management section.

|
If not in the standard e-mailing functionality of the tasks list (check
sharepoint and list configuration), there is no way of doing it without
developing an external module for emailing.

Hi Julien,
Thanks for your input.
Could you please let me know about the API through which my web part can
talk to the Share Point Task?
Thanks,

Rajib
