Chapitres :

  1. Introduction to SharePoint Site Creation
    As a newly appointed IT Manager, establishing a collaborative environment for your team is essential. Creating a SharePoint site allows you and your colleagues to store and work on documents efficiently. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a SharePoint site tailored for your IT team.
  2. Accessing SharePoint
    To begin, navigate to the Microsoft SharePoint homepage. Look for the 'Create Site' button located at the top left corner of the page. If this button is not visible, it may be disabled by your organization, and you should consult your IT team for assistance.
  3. Choosing the Right Site Type
    Upon clicking 'Create Site', you will be presented with two options: a Team Site or a Communication Site. - **Team Site**: Ideal for collaboration among team members. It automatically creates a Microsoft 365 group, which includes a Teams channel, a Planner, a OneNote notebook, and a shared inbox. - **Communication Site**: Best suited for sharing information with a broader audience. For this scenario, a Team Site is recommended for your IT colleagues.
  4. Selecting a Template
    After choosing the Team Site option, you can select a template. You may choose from standard Microsoft templates or any custom templates uploaded by your organization. For this example, select the standard team template, which includes essential features for collaboration.
  5. Configuring Site Settings
    Once the template is selected, you can configure various settings for your site: - **Site Description**: Adding a description is optional but can help clarify the site's purpose. - **Group Email Address**: You can modify the group email address associated with the site. - **Site Address**: Change the end of the site address if necessary. - **Privacy Settings**: Choose between 'Private' (only members can access) or 'Public' (anyone in the organization can access). For this example, select 'Private'. Note: The language setting cannot be changed after creation, so ensure it is set to English if that is your preference.
  6. Creating the Site
    After confirming all settings, proceed to create the site. While the site is being created, you can start adding members. In this case, add Amory as a member and designate him as a second owner. It is advisable to have two owners for backup purposes in case one is unavailable.
  7. Finalizing Site Setup
    Once the users are added, you will be directed to your newly created IT Team Site. Here, you can begin collaborating with your team, sharing documents, and managing tasks effectively.
  8. Conclusion
    Creating a SharePoint site is a straightforward process that enhances collaboration within your IT team. By following these steps, you can ensure that your team has a dedicated space for document management and communication, ultimately improving productivity and teamwork.

00:00:28
this button it simply means that.
00:00:31

disabled that button.
00:00:34
Please refer to your IT teams
00:00:36
to For more information.
00:00:40
Two choices I offered to me.
00:00:42
I can either create a team
00:00:45
site or a communication site.
00:00:47
The team site will be more to create a
00:00:50
space to collaborate with the team and
00:00:53
it will create a Microsoft 365 group.
00:00:56
IEA teams, a planner,
00:00:58
OneNote notebook, and a shared inbox.
00:01:01
A communication site, on the other hand,
00:01:04
will mostly be to share some information
00:01:07
that will engage a broad audience.
00:01:10
For this example,
00:01:11
I need a team site for my IT colleagues.
00:01:17
From here I can choose a template
00:01:20
either from Microsoft or a template
00:01:23
uploaded by my own organization.
00:01:25
Let's choose a standard team template.
00:01:28
Here is what is included in a template.
00:01:32
Everything seems fine to me.
00:01:34
I will be using this one.
00:01:37
This will be the IT team site.
00:01:41
I can add a description,
00:01:43
it is not mandatory.
00:01:45
I can change a group e-mail address and I
00:01:48
can also change the end of the site address.
00:01:51
Everything is fine in this example.
00:01:55
I can change the privacy settings in private.
00:01:58
Only the members will be able
00:02:00
to access this site.
00:02:02
In public,
00:02:03
anyone in my organization can access it.
00:02:06
This one will be private and also in English.
00:02:11
Be careful,
00:02:12
you cannot change the language later.
00:02:15
I'm going to go ahead and create the site.
00:02:19
Why the site is being created?
00:02:21
I can start adding members
00:02:23
and I will be adding amory.
00:02:25
And I don't think for now
00:02:29
Frederick will be a member.
00:02:32
And Amory will be the
00:02:34
second owner of that site.
00:02:36
A good practice is to always
00:02:38
have two different owners.
00:02:40
That way we have a backup piece.
00:02:43
I or he is sick, absent or anything.
00:02:48
We can click on finish,
00:02:50
the users are being added and
00:02:52
here I am on my IT team site.
