Internal Web Site
Using the internal Web
site
As part of your computer network,
Microsoft® Windows®
Small
Business Server 2003
provides your
company with an internal Web site where you and your co-workers can share files
and other information. This site is
based on Windows SharePoint
Services. It is available at
http://companyweb/ and as a shortcut
called My
Company on your
Favorites menu
in Microsoft Internet
Explorer.
Your company's internal
Web
site looks
similar to other Web sites.
For example, when you open the site, you see
a Quick Launch bar
on the left, which contains shortcuts to commonly visited areas on the site,
and a
navigation bar on the top, which is available on all pages you visit.
However, unlike
how you use other Web
sites,
you and your co-workers can
contribute to this site. For
example, you can add links and announcements, add and review documents, add
your vacation
dates to a company
calendar, and even submit a request to
a
Help
Desk if you have computer issues.

Features
Document
Libraries. You can use document libraries to share and review content
with your co-workers. There is also a shared fax library where you can view
faxes.
Picture
Libraries. You can use picture libraries to share photographs with
co-workers.
Help Desk. You can
use the Help Desk to
submit and track
computer issues. The person responsible for the network
has
a central place from which to resolve these issues.
Vacation Calendar. You can
use the Vacation Calendar
to record your vacations and other
time off from work.
Shared Announcements. You can post your news on the
Announcements page and place your five most recent announcements
(with expiration dates)
on the home
page.
Online Document Review. Online document review is useful
when
more than
one person needs to review a
document.
Each reviewer can
add comments
and view others'
comments.
The author has
all the comments collected in one place and can more
easily modify the document.
Discussions. The Discussion
area represents
your company's internal newsgroup. Discussions are a good way to
post questions, share
information, or
reach consensus on lower-priority issues.
Alerts.
You can receive
e-mail notices whenever changes occur in documents, document libraries, or
lists.
Surveys. You can create surveys to gather information
from your co-workers.
Custom Lists. If none of the predefined lists fits
your needs, you can create a custom list
and
define the
columns and type
of content to display.
