World of Workflows2010 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

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•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


What I Don’t Like About SharePoint

2013


What I Don’t Like About SP2013

•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

•Create new subsite hidden at bottom of Site Contents page
