No Body Asked...But you shall Recieve

In our third Story we wanted to give our Web Liaisons the right to update their specific Departments document library. Now when you log in to the intranet, you will see a folder under "My Navigation" called Web Liaison. Click on that link and you will see another link that says "Document Library" and when you click on that you will be taken to a land of Document Library managing bliss! There you can add Documents, save over Existing Documents, modify the information associated with a certain document, and delete Documents. This is the same for Document Packets as well.

Our Current Sprint Results 08/21 - 08/29

So far we have completed 2 out of our 6 stories. The first one we tackled was Fixing some bugs in our current Document Library. We wanted to change some Dynamics Text Fields to static Text Fields to allow users to manually type in information instead of using dynamic pre-filled drop downs. In the past Users had to assign a contact person and a Author to every document, if these two people where not the same you would get an error when you submitted the information. By adding Static fields you can now make your author and contact person two different people.

In our next story we wanted to modify our Document Library to cater to our Web Liaisons. We have now added features where a Web Liaison can log in to our intranet(my.nccu.edu), click on the Web Liaison Folder under my navigation, go directly to the Document Library admin page, and be able to modify, edit, and submit documents that cater to there specific department.
