SharePoint is a suite of tools that facilitates collaboration. These tools include: 

• Document Libraries that include versioning of files and a check in and out feature
• Picture and slide libraries that show thumbnails of the images contained within
• Shared tasks, contacts, calendars, announcements, and link lists
• Online discussion forums
• Reporting features and KPI dashboards
• Wiki libraries for documentation
• Subsites for teams, departments, or collaboration around meetings and documents
• Online access to Excel, Access, and Visio documents
• Ability to create custom lists by importing a spreadsheet
• Alerts that email you when things change
• Workflows that can be created by non-programmers

To begin using SharePoint in your college or division, send an email to sharepoint@uh.edu. Our SharePoint Administrator will visit with you to perform a needs assessment and demonstrate some of the features SharePoint gives you out of the box.
