Using Data Views and Item Forms

To begin the course, you will learn about using data from a data source in SharePoint Designer. You will learn how to create item forms, how to create and use data views, and how to format the data displayed by those views.
Doing More with Data Views

Next, you will learn more about data views by configuring data views, managing data source connections, adding supplementary controls to data views, and managing data view web parts as a whole.

 

Using InfoPath 2010 with SharePoint Designer 2010

In this section, you will learn a bit about using Microsoft’s form creation tool, InfoPath 2010, to create forms for a SharePoint server. You’ll learn how to create and upload forms, create data connections to forms, and create and use InfoPath forms in conjunction with SharePoint workflows.

 

Using Visio 2010 with SharePoint Designer 2010

The fourth section of this course takes a visual turn: you will learn how to use Microsoft’s diagramming tool, Visio 2010, to illustrate the way workflows operate in SharePoint. You will also learn how to import and export workflows to both Visio and SharePoint Designer.
