In
a series of articles Peter Kalmstrom, CEO and Systems Designer
of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions, is showing a way to
use SharePoint to automate taking meeting notes and handling
meetings and meeting decisions in general.
In the
previous
demo Peter created a new content type for meeting notes
based on the Item content type, which gave him a content
type with very few columns. Therefore he added the columns
he needed.
In the demo below Peter describes how to create a Task content
type for the meeting action points. When you base a new
content type on the Task content type, you will have multiple
columns, so now Peter removes some columns instead of adding
new ones.
Peter has created his content type in the Content Type Hub.
When you do that, you don't need to create new content types
for each site collection. Today, content types can more
easily be created from the SharePoint Admin center >Content
Type Gallery, which is connected to the Content Type Hub.
Create a content type for action points in the Content
Type Hub
In the Content Type Hub, open the Site Settings
and click on the Site Content Types link in the Web
Designer Galleries group.
Click on the Create link.
Create a new Action Point content type.
This content type should inherit from the regular
Task.
Add the content type to an existing group or create
a new group for it and click OK.
Remove or hide columns that are not needed.
Publish the content type.
In
next demo we will see how to add the two new content
types to lists.
