World of Workflows

2010 Workflows?

2013 Workflows?

What’s the difference?


What Happens to 2010 Workflows?

•SharePoint 2010 Workflow platform has

been carried forward to SharePoint 2013• Workflows built for SharePoint 2010 will

continue to work in SharePoint 2013


SharePoint 2013 Workflows

•To use SharePoint Server 2013 workflows:• Download, install, and configure Workflow

Manager to work with SharePoint Server

• Workflow Manager provides an externalized

host to run workflows

•SharePoint Designer 2013 will then allow

you to choose which version (2010 or 2013)

of workflow you want to create or edit


InfoPath is NOT Dead

• InfoPath 2013 is not deprecated• 2013 is possibly last version

• Very similar to InfoPath 2010

• InfoPath Services is not new or enhanced


•To fix, follow the steps in Lori Gowin’s blog

post:

Upgrading InfoPath and the User Profile

Service Data Connection

InfoPath Form: Username Field “Breaks”

What We Get What We Want

http://www.pointgowin.com/seethepoint/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=55


What About Access Services 2013?

•Develop Access forms in client, then publish

to SharePoint• Build a custom web app

• Use a web app template

• Download a web app from Office store

•Requires SQL Server 2012• Separate database instance

•No integration with workflows in SP2013• Future integration is rumored


Site Administration


Efficiencies for Site Administrators

•Edit Quick Launch directly

with page in Edit mode

•Out of the box branding capable

through Design Manager

•Site collection owners can

compare 2010 to 2013 and

determine when to upgrade


Lagniappe


What I Don’t Like About SP2013 (1 of 2)

•Site Actions replaced with

Settings icon

•Settings icon returns to right side• Handy if upgrading from 2007

•Two types of Apps• Lists and Libraries

• SharePoint store applications


What I Don’t Like About SP2013 (1 of 2)

•Email a Link to a file is gone• Instead, right-click file and copy

hyperlink

•Create new subsite hidden at

bottom of Site Contents page
