itgroove :: Your SharePoint Midwives• A SharePoint architect needs to be more of a midwife than a doctor. It’s the
client who is giving birth to this thing and you are there to create the conditions for them to make that journey as stress free as one can. Who is the one who has to adapt and live with the result anyway?

Content Search Web Part (CSWP)
CSWP vs CQWPWhat is CSWP - A webpart that displays search results based on a associated search query.
What is CQWP - A webpart that displays content based on a query or otherwise form the entire site collection.
How does it display Results – The CSWP can return any content from the search index. It queries against the Index to display results.
How does it display Results – CQWP return any content from within the site collection based on the filter.
Result Accuracy – The CSWP returns content that is as fresh as the latest crawl of your content, so if you crawl often, the content that the CSWP returns is more up-to-date than if you crawl infrequently.
Result Accuracy – CQWP displays instant content or the refreshed version of content.
Content in Results - Search crawls only the major versions of content, never the minor versions. So no minor version documents are included in results.
Content in Results - CQWP on the other hand displays minor versions of your content as well.
Results Availability - If the site collection or site is marked to not be indexed, the content is not available using CSWP.
Resource Allocation - If you want to return results from a site that is marked to not index, use the CQWP instead.
Not in SharePoint Online (Office 365) and not
looking like it is coming anytime soon…
o Analytics have been moved into the Search Service application
o Richer, better insights (Popularity and Search Reports) for the site or right down to a single document (select Popularity Trends from the Ribbon)
o Nintex stopped producing theirs, so this must be good (or destined to be…)
Fancier (Better) Search Reporting
Office Web Apps
“Office Web Apps Server Preview is a new Office server product that delivers browser-based versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote. A single Office Web Apps Server farm can support users who access Office files through SharePoint 2013 Preview, Lync Server 2013 Preview, Exchange Server 2013 Preview, shared folders, and web sites “
o What does it mean?o OWA is Broken out of SharePoint and get’s its own server because several server
applications (Exchange, SharePoint and Lync) can now share it
Microblogging
• Every microblog update can now include:• #tags (dynamically pulled from or added to MMS)• @targets (default pulls from your social colleagues list
but you can post the updates to any SharePoint user)
• Drop the newsfeed webpart onto a page and socialize
o Strategy isn’t clear yet. But Microsoft paid $1.2 Billion. So expect something…o Perhaps … (more) Facebook for business.
“For Microsoft, it’s clear they could not compete in the increasingly social enterprise market without something new. SharePoint is under attack, Salesforce.com competes with Microsoft's Dynamics product, and Google competes in the cloud with Office 365 and Skype for business use. All three of these initiatives lack social. The Yammer acquisition was therefore a required move to bolster Microsoft's social strategy and to survive the next innovation leap.”
Yammer
Promoted Links (Tiles)
o Styled/rollover links that are easy to implemento Very customizable
Embed Video in 10 seconds
o Nothing more to ‘splain…o 123 … SharePoint can be used to orient to the job and content…

Document Sets
o Icon appears in search results (Was that so hard?)o Content query web part now understands Document Sets (so you
can aggregate)
o Jeff Teper – “Use SharePoint as an out-of-box application whenever possible - We designed the new SharePoint UI to be clean, simple and fast and work great out-of-box. We encourage you not to modify it which could add complexity, performance and upgradeability and to focus your energy on working with users and groups to understand how to use SharePoint to improve productivity and collaboration and identifying and promoting best practices in your organization” - Reference: http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/blog/Pages/BlogPost.aspx?pID=1012
o Design View removed from SharePoint Designero Data views, conditional formatting – let’s hope this is a “preview”
