MOSS 2007 Usage Reports

I’ve been searching for an inventory of MOSS 2007 usage reports. This page seems good enough: http://www.thesug.org/mossasaurus/Wiki%20Pages/Web%20Analytics.aspx.

But what I really hope for is an inventory listing with short description of each report, and with all the screenshots. Hopefully I can find one soon.

 

Managing Enterprise Metadata with Content Types and Search [SharePoint]

Bump into this great write up by Robert Bogue on content type and ways to expose those custom metadata into search. IT starts with real business problem, and then move to example and screen shots on setting things up. Now that’s business and tech know-how in one!

MOSS additional IFilter Pack

Although MOSS 2007 now has pdf IFilter included (not included in SPS2003 btw), there are still other file types that are not showing up with proper icon. So here’s an filter pack to handle some of those missing files, such as:

 

·         Metro (.docx, .docm, .pptx, .pptm, .xlsx, .xlsm, .xlsb)

·         Zip (.zip)

·         OneNote (.one)

·         Visio (.vdx, .vsd, .vss, .vst, .vdx, .vsx, .vtx)

A field that lookup from SharePoint list

Finally, a feature that enable a field to pick a value from a sharepoint list, made available at CodePlex at http://www.codeplex.com/SP2007LookupFields. Not sure how useful it is yet but I’ll definitely check it out when I can find the time.
