WHY SHOULD I STUDY SHAREPOINT 2007 DESIGNER?
Suppose that your enterprise has a product database and a customer database, and you want to display product information on your SharePoint site — you can do this quickly and easily by creating a view on that data. Suppose that you also want a Web page that displays which customers have ordered which products. You can do this by linking your data sources — in this case, your two databases — so that you can view this information in a single joined Data View. What's more, you can use this Data View as a form, so you can write data back to your data sources.
With SharePoint 2007 Designer You can create Data Views from a wide variety of data sources, including:
- RSS feeds
- XML files
- Office XML
Tools such as calculated fields, conditional formatting, and sorting, grouping, and filtering capabilities help you create high-impact reports in the form of Data Views.
You can use built-in application Web sites such as Expense and Reimbursement Tracking and Absence and Vacation Management to share information more effectively. Each template is fully customizable and extensible by using SharePoint Designer 2007.
SharePoint Designer 2007 provides the professional design tools that you need to create compelling SharePoint sites that are customized to your needs. You can view and change SharePoint pages with advanced what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) capabilities. Format SharePoint pages quickly and easily with powerful cascading style sheets (CSS) tools.
With the Workflow Designer in SharePoint Designer 2007, you can extend the built-in business document workflows that are available in Office SharePoint Server 2007 and create custom workflows from scratch.
Office SharePoint Designer 2007 can be used by site administrators and IT managers to control the levels of access to ensure a consistent user experience across the site.
