Create Mobile Views in Sharepoint 2010

It is often a good idea to create special views that show information in a more compact way to enable mobile device users to see that information more clearly and to more comfortably navigate in it.Figure 1

Figure 1. A mobile view for an announcement list is designed to be more user friendly for mobile device users

SharePoint attempts to identify whether a device is a mobile device and then switches to a default mobile view that is optimized for that purpose. Nonmobile devices see the view as if it is a regular view. Each mobile view has a special URL that the mobile device is redirected to.
To specify that a view should have a mobile URL, scroll to the Mobile section in the view creation page and expand it by using the plus sign next to the section title. You can create a view and specify it to be the default mobile view for the list (see Figure 2), or you can just leave it as another new view in the list.


Figure 2. Creating a mobile view.
Additional options you can set for the mobile view are how many items to show (because you may want to trim a list for a mobile view) and what column to display as the title in the mobile view.
If you don’t have a mobile device yourself, and you want to see what the view looks like after it has been created, you must manually type the URL that SharePoint creates for the mobile view. To find out what that URL is, go into the view modification page and scroll down to the Mobile section. The URL for the mobile view appears there as text (see Figure 3).

Figure 3. The URL of a mobile view is displayed on the view modification page for the view.
To learn how to modify a view, see the following section.


Note

To see what a whole site would look like from a mobile device, you use the second URL that appears when editing a mobile view. That URL is the link to the mobile view of the home page of the site

    Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be
    on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people
    think about worries that they plainly don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

Social tagging overview in Sharepoint 2010

A tag is a word or phrase that identifies an individual piece of information according to a set of attributes or criteria.

Social tagging can improve the quality of search results by filtering against specific tags, and it can also connect individuals who want to share information with other users who have like interests. This article describes the social tagging features in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. This article does not describe how to configure social tagging features. It also does not discuss how to implement social tagging features as part of an overall social media strategy for an enterprise.
