New Site in SharePoint 2013

Introduction

Kindly refer to my first article to learn how we start with SharePoint 2013:

• http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/610550/Let-e2-80-99splusStartpluswithplusSharePointplus20

Here is the first look of the SharePoint site we created:

Below you will find the default web part in the home page:

Let’s do this one by one:

• Share your site

Sharing enables you to share the site with a person or a group.





Then here you can even provide permissions on a user level as to edit, view only, full control, and administrator.





• Now let’s see working on a deadline?

It’s a feature they have given with the Collaboration of Calendar and Task list.



On clicking on Add Item, we get the following page web part generated on the Home page.



As you can see here we have a Task List with the Calendar displaying months.



On the Web part we have other options like Gantt Chart, Late Tasks, My Tasks, and Upcoming Views with the option of creating and modifying views. We will come to the details in my next blog.





Clicking on Task, we can add a new Task Name, Due date, and Assigned To as default values. You can add more columns by clicking on the “+” icon there and you can directly add columns like Text, Number, Date and Time, Person or group, and other column types directly.

Clicking on the task you will find the below Task ribbon. We will cover in detail on my next blog on Tasks.



Clicking on list interface , you will find the below List Riibbon.



Clicking on TimeLine, you will find the below ribbon.



• Add lists, libraries and other apps.



In this tab you can add the side contents as lists, libraries, and other contents of SharePoint.

You will find below all the different types of UI contents.









• Then we have a tab called What’s your style?



Where you can change the look and feel of the site using elegant Themes.



• Lastly, the tab Your Site. Your brand.



Here you can provide the Title, Description, and Logo to the site.



You can inset logo from computer or from within a site.



From computer:



From your site:



Then we have Newsfeed.in one of the tabs.



• Newsfeed



It is like a post in Facebook where you can start a conversation and invite more people, where you can post comments and people can like or comment on it.



• Our last part on our home page: “Documents”.



Here you can add a document.





Where you have an edit option, share option to provide permissions and follow to see all the changes in the versions. We also have added options like View, Edit, and others on the tab, which we will discuss later in my other blog.



• On our left navigation we have the following links:



Here if you need a new link we need not go to the site settings. You can directly click on the Edit Links option. You can drag an item which will initiate a link automatically or you can add it yourself as below.



• Then let us see our Global Navigation and the top link bar.



We have Browse option to search, Page option to edit or modify, Time Line is our own site.

Then we have Share, to provide permissions in your site. Follow to get all notifications on all changes in your site, sync to synchronize the document library and the last symbol to expand the page by removing the left navigation view.

In the top link you can see Newsfeed, SkyDrive for cloud storage of all your documents, and the Sites displaying all your sites, Administrator as the user details, then we have Site settings, and lastly the Help icon.

Here we complete all the parts on your Home Page of a newly Created  SharePoint 2013 Site.
