  • 1.  MS Sharepoint Utilisation at your Institution?

    Posted 06-19-2018 10:01 PM
    Hello Everyone,

    The ANU Project Management Office is rolling out the Microsoft Office 365 suite of tools institution wide.
    Whilst not Campus Solutions related, their intentions include providing Sharepoint as a knowledge management and collaboration platform and automating the creation of Sharepoint sites based off some common templates.

    I've had an interest in converting our CS support and troubleshooting documentation into live documents with deep searching for quick access for our support staff among other ideas. The ANU Project's Business Analyst has reached out to me initially to discuss their approach at engaging with business areas and their approach at implementation.

    With that in mind... the question:

    1. Have any of your institutions implemented Sharepoint as a tool across technical or administration areas?

    a. (For our BA) Would you be able to put a technical/project resource in touch with our ANU BA working on the project?

    b. (For Me) How has your area leveraged this platform for support / development with Campus Solutions


    Best Regards,

    Hi Michael
    Griffith utilises Sharepoint for some documentation in general. From a CRM
    technical documentation perspective it does have some issues.

    For example, when generating API documentation from inline source code
    comments using tools such as Doxygen or NaturalDocs, for example, html
    generated is structured in a whole bunch of sub-directories - as it should
    be. The issue with putting this all up on Sharepoint is that if a user
    clicks on say index.html, Sharepoint then tries to download ALL the
    generated documentation - that is all directories. It doesn't seem to
    handle relative links.

    As a result we are putting our generated documentation directly on a cloud
    service and only referencing via a link in Sharepoint, that way the
    download does not occur.

    Thought this might be of interest.

    thanks
    Rose
