Spent three days at Tech.Ed New Zealand Last week, listed to some great sessions, enjoyed Tech Fiesta! and got to netowrk with lots of people! So all very worth while...and I spoke - unfortunately, rushed it too much, but was lots of fun.

Anonymous Access and Surveys
by  CE7\Debbie.Ireland_DINo presence information  on 11/08/2010 9:12 a.m.
Category: Fixes; SharePoint 2010

We have learnt a heap in creating this Public facing site, - a lot of which I give credit to Kathy Hughes for - Kathy did all our branding, helped to get the Anonymous access, views, displays all working in various browsers etc.. - and had to find workarounds for many of the things to make it more an "Internet" than an Intranet...her book will no doubt have a lot of the tips and tricks! http://www.amazon.com/SharePoint-Designer-Unleashed-Kathy-Hughes/dp/0672331055/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1280443008&sr=1-22

Onevery annoying bug/feature? - which existed in both WSS and now SFS, is the ability to change the anon access on surveys...

So....the issue - I create a Survey but need to change the anonymous access, so people can add to it. When I go to permissions, all the check boxes are greyed out, meaning it cant be changed.

To get around this, go to Survey Settings>Advanced Settings and then under Item - Level Security - ensure the choices are for users READ ALL responses and CREATE and EDIT ALL responses.

Once you have selected that, you can go back and edit the permissions, on the ANON access (under Survey Settings>Permissions for this Survey).

Dont forget once you have changed the permissins, to go back into advanced settings and change the Security, so users can only read and edit their own responses :)

 NOTE: , when you first create a survey, you dont have this issue IF you cange the permissions before limiting the read access in advanced settings - that is why it becomes puzzling when you return to do this later!​

Cant see Datasheet view on lists?

If you are having this issue, it may be because you have 64 Bit Office 2010 installed and need to install the following component - and then it works!

Move to 2010 Hosted site
by  CE7\Debbie.Ireland_DINo presence information  on 14/07/2010 7:43 a.m.
Category: SharePoint 2010

​We are excited to be launching our new SharePoint 2010 site - to manage all our content, conferences, training schedules and public and internal facing information.

This brings together about three different systems and sites we used prior, for training, conference site front ends, our external website, organisers sites and so forth.... so we are looking forward to the more streamlined processes we will gain from use of this platform - AND - easier editing and updates that SP2010 also provides!

Use of a SharePoint Hosted site allows all our editing to be done in house, and removes reliance (and time) on external help for these things. This allows us to deliver faster and be more proactive and reactive! 

So yeah....SharePoint in action :)
