MySite Builder
…for MOSS2007
The main feature is to let the server administrator create and deploy total preconfigured MySite templates which can be configured separately for any Windows/AD group(s). Using MySite Builder you will be able to:
- Choose between pre-made templates for the placement of items on MySite (the page area is shown in different combinations e.g. left / middle/ right column).
- Select Web Parts, existing lists and libraries to add to the MySite page.
- Configure the selected items
- Configure MS Outlook Web Parts based on Users email from Active Directory.
- Configure MS Outlook Web Parts with MS Exchange mail server address.
- Deploy templates to MySites controlled by AD.
So why do you need MySite Builder?
The configuration of ‘My Site’ Web Parts at present is most likely done either by your user’s with all the associated problems or by an overworked SharePoint Administrator!
How many support calls do you get from users who are not able to configure even the simplest of Web Parts, how many cannot see their e-mails and are too embarrassed to ask? There are many reasons why Web Parts do not work from simple misspellings of Mail Servers to users having closed a Web Part without knowing how to bring it back again possibly missing out on vital information.
MySite Builder will save your SharePoint Administrator countless hours by being able to configure all the MySites from MySite Builder whether new or existing and will also reduce the amount of time your SharePoint Administrator is supporting your users.
