• A Web Site Everyone Can Use.
  Using preprogrammed Web-authoring forms, SharePoint Team Services lets you instantly create a full-feature Web site that your team can begin using immediately. Once the site is launched, team members can add, edit, and delete information using their Web browsers. Automatic hyperlink management maintains links to new material, while templates protect the overall navigational structure, individual page layouts, and design elements.

  Use a Web browser to add, edit, and delete content from a SharePoint Team Services−based Web site.

  
  
  
• Out-of-the-Box Functionality.
  Preformatted forms let your team members contribute to the SharePoint Team Services−based Web site simply by filling out lists. You’ll find forms for announcements, events, contacts, tasks, surveys, discussions, and links. SharePoint also makes it easy to create custom lists by building on existing forms, or creating new ones from scratch.
  
  
• Microsoft Office XP Integration.
  Office XP works seamlessly with SharePoint Team Services, so you can save documents from within any Office application and copy calendars and contact lists directly from Microsoft Outlook® version 2002 and paste them directly into your team’s Web site. Integration with Microsoft Excel version 2002 means you can also export lists and create Microsoft PivotTables® and charts to analyze information or apply text formatting.

Collaborate

• Document Libraries.
  The Document Library feature of SharePoint Team Services provides a single location for storing all your team’s work. Transferring documents to the library is simple—it just takes a Web browser. And when you assign templates to your document libraries, you guarantee that all documents are consistent and compatible. Powerful text-based search and a familiar folder view make it easy to find documents in the SharePoint library.

• Team Interaction.
  SharePoint Team Services helps team members share ideas through subscriptions and notifications that alert everyone to Web site changes; inline document discussions that make it easy to collaborate on specific deliverables without altering original documents; discussion boards that serve as a central forum for specific topics; and surveys, which are a useful way to get targeted responses to key issues.
  
  
• Team Management.
  Once you’ve launched a SharePoint Team Services-based Web site, a simple e-mail invitation serves to register team members to the site, and you can assign different permission levels to each member, depending on their role. Date, time, and author stamping makes it easy to track member participation. Web-based administration lets you manage user accounts quickly and simply from within the browser.

Customize and Control

• Customize from a Web Browser.
  You’ll find all the commands you need to adapt the SharePoint Team Services−based Web site for your team. Simple drag-and-drop functionality makes it easy to modify the home page; adding new pages and custom lists is a snap, too. You can also create custom views of information by filtering for specific criteria, sorting in a particular order, or showing and hiding columns.
