This three-day instructor-led course teaches business professionals how to take advantage of SharePoint 2013's robust automated business processes. This course is designed to provide students with a deep dive into SharePoint automation ranging from working with documentation to managing records to full workflow processes and task tracking. Users that have some SharePoint knowledge will find this class perfect for learning and building on advanced SharePoint topics. The discussion begins with a quick review of SharePoint 2013 core concepts such as out-of-the-box apps. This session uses real-world scenarios and goes into detail on how to fully utilize Content Types that not only save users time and effort, but also allow business users to more efficiently organize, manage and handle important content. From there, the class transitions into Enterprise Content Management and SharePoint's toolset designed specifically for automating repetitive, everyday tasks. Students will learn the tools essential to automatically manage large sets of documents, record management, compliance and liability, and easily locate key documents. Once students have a solid foundation of basic and advanced tools, the class shifts to web based forms using InfoPath. In this section students explore form creation in InfoPath by creating List based forms as well as Library based forms. Students learn about InfoPath page design templates, how to use tables for layouts, and how to apply themes for branding. Students will also learn about field creation and form controls in InfoPath. The class will then explore more advanced InfoPath tools for validating user data entry in real time and formatting data based on user entry. Action based rules will also be covered for more advanced topics such as prepopulating fields for users, running server-side data calculations, and querying data connections. This section wraps up with the InfoPath Form Web Part in the web browser.
