Add shortcuts straight to your external website, to your portal, your teamsite of choice or project-web portal, now all in the Office 365 admin GUI, no hazzle.

Follow these simple steps:

1. Go to the Office 365 admin portal (https://portal.office.com/admin/default.aspx)

2. In the top left corner, click on your organization name link.

3. Next, select option no.3 – Custom tiles.

4. Click on the rather large plus sign to create a custom tile. Add a Name, URL, Description and a image URL (Pre-uploaded to a SharePoint asset lib?)

5. Repeat until you have your tiles.

6. Allow some delay for timer jobs to run, things to happen in the background, this may take a while.

7. Go to your App launcher, My Apps.

8. Your custom tiles will be located at the bottom of the list.

9. Click on the ‘dots’ and select ‘Pin to launcher’ – this will make them show up in your personal App Launcher.

Right-click is here for SharePoint Online AND OneDrive for Business

SP2013logo

Yeey! right-click is here for SharePoint Online AND OneDrive for Business (but…)

‘

”

Recently, right-click functionality was introduced in SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business both, it really is a great feature that simplifies the lives of all users.
I will show in Pictures what I mean, no more ‘three dots’ or select and then ‘three dots’ again. Now, with right-click, we can easily access the properties and functions to manage a file or folder simply by right-clicking on it. (I assume though, that the dots and More will be left in Place, not all devices have a right button…)

So, here is what its all about, right-click and you can now access:

Open in Word, Open in Word Online, Download, Share, Rename, Delete, Move or Copy, Version History, Properties, Check out, Follow, Workflows, Shared with and Compliance details.

This is how it looks:

1. Right-click in OneDrive for Business

2. Right-click in SharePoint Online

3. Right-click on multiselect

4. Caveat no 1 – Right-click breaks with Managed Metadata columns in view *

5. Caveat no 2 – Copy shortcut is gone

* Right-click does work with Content types, site columns with non Managed metadata datatypes and views with multiple columns

‘

1. Right-click in OneDrive for Business

‘

2. Right-click in SharePoint Online

‘

3. Right-click on Multiselect

‘

4. Caveat no 1 – Right-click breaks with Managed Metadata columns in view

Yes, add an Managed Metadata column is fine, but if you show it in a view, right-click breaks and goes back to IE default.
In the example below I created and added a column actually named Managed Metadata…

When the Managed Metadata based column is added to the view, right-click breaks.

‘

5. Caveat no 2 – Copy shortcut is gone

This may not seem like a big deal…but for admins, developers or designers, this is a bit cumbersome. You often want to get the URL from a resource file (js, css or similar) and now you can’t. Type it in folks….

Thats it. The news is out.

Office 365 News – New document now supports Content types in SharePoint Online

SP2013logo

‘new document’ now supports Content types in SharePoint Online
‘
Thank you Microsoft, Content types just got user friendly and easy to use and promote!

‘

The new- new document dialog

‘

Before yesterday, I knew that the ‘new document’ button in a document library became useless when you enabled Content types in a document library. This has for me and many of my customers been a huge drawback since the ‘new document’ button was still there, in plain view and for the regular user, what they were meant to use.

This old behavious was that when you pressed on ‘new document’ in a document library with multiple content types, you got the upload document dialog.

Old behaviour

What I was so glad to discover yesterday, during a live demo at a customer, that this has been fixed now in SPO! Instead of the upload dialog, I could now get this:

Fixed!

One down!
Next step, make content types available to Office Online…(They still seem to require the Office Applications installed on the client, nothing for E1 users or less in other words…)
I would also like the new folder option back with the content types 🙂

References and Credits

None at this time…

Credits & many thanks to

Cramo, this is where I did the demo when this change presented itself to me! A pleasure to work with you guys!

A quick-guide to setting up OWA with SharePoint 2013 – start to finish

Future and existing Office Web Apps – OWA Lovers!
😁
This time, I just found that a quick guide like this was something that I needed myself, and since I could not find anything that was short and compact enough, I made my own guide…
This Little guide is completely based on the TechNet articles mentioned in the references section, but this is nontheless a lot shorter and easier to follow.

–

The old Clock at Oakwood station

Click your OWA task of choice:

Step 1

Prepare a 2008 R2 Server to run OWA

Prepare a 2012 Server to run OWA

Step 2

Install Office Web Apps Server

Step 3

Deploy a single-server Office Web Apps Server farm that uses HTTPS

Step 4

Configure SharePoint to use OWA over https (recommended)

Configure SharePoint to use OWA over http

Additional

Disconnect SharePoint from OWA farm

Configure the Default open behavior for documents

Deploy a single-server Office Web Apps Server farm that uses HTTPS

If components of the .NET Framework 3.5 were installed and then removed, you might see “500 Web Service Exceptions” or “500.21 – Internal Server Error” messages when you run OfficeWebApps cmdlets. To fix this, run the following sample commands from an elevated command prompt to clean up settings that could prevent Office Web Apps Server from functioning correctly:
In Windows Server 2008 R2:
%systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -iru
iisreset /restart /noforceIn Windows Server 2012:
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS-ASPNET45

1. Create the Office Web Apps Server farm

New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl <InternalURL> -ExternalUrl <ExternalURL> -CertificateName <CertificateName> -EditingEnabled

<InternalURL> FQDN name of the server that runs Office Web Apps Server
<ExternalURL> FQDN name that can be accessed on the Internet
<CertificateName> Is the friendly name of the https/SSL certificate used
-EditingEnabled, optional and is added to enable editing in Office Web Apps

2. Verify that the Office Web Apps Server farm was created successfully

Go to the https://internal.url.com/hosting/discovery
If you see a (WOPI)-discovery XML file in your web browser then all is good.

Depending on the security settings of your web browser, you might see a message that prompts you to select Show all content before the contents of the discovery XML file are displayed.

New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName <WacServerName>
(<WacServerName> must be the FQDN internal URL)

2. Verify current zone:
Get-SPWOPIZone

3. Change to internal-https if it is set to http:
Set-SPWOPIZone –zone “internal-https

4. Verify https:
Get-SPWOPIZone

5. Verify functionality in a document library (Not using the system account, appearing as sharepoint\system)

SharePoint Server 2013 Language Packs

Hi dear friends!

Update: Additional SharePoint Server 2013 LP’s (the full list) made GA, Generally Available since April 30 – SharePoint Server 2013 LP’s

Language support in SharePoint 2013 onprem…
(Lacking better info, I assume that the same list applies to SharePoint online)

Remember this anyone?

If you are like me you have not seen anything official on the topic of Language Packs and release dates and availability yet (written April 16, 2013).
I don’t know if anyone has put this info out there yet, but I have not found it and then I figure it won’t hurt to do it here I guess…

In my case, I was looking for Swedish, but others need to find their special local language, now I have some info for all of you:

Jump to:

SharePoint Server 2013 LP’s (44 LP’s)

SharePoint Foundation 2013 LP’s (44 LP’s)

SharePoint in the languages listed under Server Language packs are also available in a localized server version, these are also available at MSDN

–

SharePoint Server 2013
Since (March 28) April 30th, all Language Packs are now available as a free download (link) Select your language in the dropdown or use the directlink in the list below.
(serverlanguagepack.img) I recommend renaming the files when downloaded since all LP’s have the same name, add for example the two letter code for your country after the filename: serverlanguagepack_se.exe (Swedish SPS LP)

TechNet suggests you take one of the following actions:
For Windows Server 2012, open the .img file directly and run Setup.exe (double-click it).
For Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, use a program that can mount or extract .img files. Then run Setup.exe (double-click it).

SharePoint 2013 feature comparison chart all editions

Did you ever see such a pretty table before..? Which one to pick?? This has to be one of the harder choices in Life…

(Sugarrush central at Newark Liberty International Airport – New Jersey)

Last Updated 2013-10-08, ‘search connector framework’, ‘on-premises search index’ and ‘tunable relevancy’ – source: Search (thanks to Mattias Brunnert)

The feature list of SharePoint gets longer and longer, richer and richer, this is the (as far as I know) complete list of features in the three different versions of SharePoint 2013 on-premise (not SharePoint online): SharePoint Foundation 2013 | SharePoint Server 2013 Standard Edition | SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise Edition. To save you all a few ‘swipes’ or ‘rolls’ on the old mouse wheel, I have also added a menu here at the top, click on any of the focus areas to jump right in.

Find the post: the Office 365 feature comparison chart all plans, here: http://wp.me/p1EuNv-Vm

Note: If you are only looking to find whats only available in the Enterprise edition, you can get that list alone here with extended information: Enterprise edition of SharePoint Server 2013 – What’s in it?.

SharePoint 2013 and Office Web Apps 2013 resources

I just thought that it would be a nice thing to have key links to getting started with Office Web Apps 2013 all in one place:

– Download Microsoft Office Web Apps Server

– Download Language Packs for Microsoft Office Web Apps Server

– TechNet: Deploy the infrastructure: Office Web Apps Server

– TechNet: Plan Office Web Apps (Used with SharePoint 2013)

– TechNet: Overview of Office Web Apps and how they work on-premises with SharePoint 2013

The Licensing for Office Web Apps is all new:

Licensing Office Web Apps for editing Office files

Office Web Apps licensing offers two options:

View-only. By default, Office Web Apps is view-only. View-only functionality is provided for free.
Edit and view. You must purchase an editing license to use the editing features of Office Web Apps with SharePoint 2013. You enable editing when you create the Office Web Apps Server farm.

Enterprise customers who are licensed for Office 2013 through a Volume Licensing program can enable Office Web Apps editing for SharePoint 2013 on-premises. This helps make sure that users have Office editing capabilities at home or in other locations where Office clients might not be installed. Editing licenses for Office Web Apps are not available for separate purchase.

For exact details about your license, refer to the Microsoft Software License Terms that is shown when you install Office Web Apps Server.

SharePoint 2013 provides new license enforcement that works with Office Web Apps. If you enable SharePoint licensing and then enable Office Web Apps editing, only the users who have the appropriate license, which is known as OfficeWebAppsEdit, can actually edit Office files in a browser. If no Office Web Apps editing licenses are applied for users, only viewing is supported. For more information about how licensing works in SharePoint 2013, see Configure licensing in SharePoint Server 2013. The EditingEnabled parameter that enables editing is described in New-OfficeWebAppsFarm and Set-OfficeWebAppsFarm.

Remember also, that in 2013 the Office Web Apps server/farm is a shared resource between SharePoint Server 2013, Lync Server 2013 and Exchange Server 2013.

Browser support, see image:

As you can see, owa now supports most common browsers
