This short glossary is intended to explain some of the terms that may be new to the beginner Sharepoint contributor. A more extensive list of terms can be found in
the Sharepoint Help system.
- Anonymous Access
- Refers to the ability for a casual visitor to navigate the web site without being authenticated (i.e. asked for user name and password).
-
- List & library
- Simply put, a list is like a spreadsheet with columns and rows. There are a variety of specialized lists, discussed below, and a web designer can also create custom lists. Lists have “views” which can be customized to display certain fields or rows with certain criteria. See
Creating Lists for more information.
- Page
- A web part page consists of zones that contain parts. The public “about us” area is an example of a collection of pages. This is not to be confused with a site, which can be considered a directory, while pages are files within a directory.
-
- Site & Sub Site
- A site has it’s own libraries and lists, and can have it’s own unique permissions or can inherit permissions from it’s “parent” site. Sub sites are sites within a site; there is no limit to the number of sites or layers within a sub site hierarchy.
-
- Template
- A standard layout of zones and parts used to start a new site. There are standard templates provided, and additional templates have been installed for your use. The basic “Team Site” template provides all the parts you generally need. A site can also be saved as a template, as in the “Personal Site” template that can be used for sharing photos and discussions. See Creating a Site for more information
-
-
Theme
- Colors and fonts used throughout the site. There are a set of standard themes provided, and the administrator can install additional themes upon request. See
Creating a Site
for more information.
-
- Web part
- Parts are items you can drag on to your page and populate with content or lists. There are perhaps five basic kinds of parts, discussed below, and the administrator can also install or build custom parts for everyone’s use. See Adding Content for more information.
