//The SharePoint Migration Project has now reached the milestone of completing Phase 1 of its intended migrations. Sites have included; Catering, Estates and Commercial Facilities, The Library, The Graduate School and Registry’s Health & Safety, Registrar’s Office, Secretariat and Student Administration.
Phase 2 is well underway with Marketing, Recruitment and Communications, Student Support Centre and Human Resources complete. In addition some smaller individual sites have also been migrated including Classifieds, FreeCycle and Staff Message Lists.
The College of Science and Planning & Business Intelligence are next in the pipeline and many others have been through the planning stage. Colleagues from the SharePoint Migration team will be working with them in the near future.
If you have any queries or questions regarding this Project, then please contact David Raines on 01522 886571 or email draines@lincoln.ac.uk
//The High Level Risk Register online system is now almost complete. The system will work inline with the Low Level Risk Register, and will have an identical look, and function in almost exactly the same way.
When updates are required to the register, Planning and Business Intelligence will activate the workflow, which will send out notifications to all relevant departments. Tasks will be created for these departments to enable progress monitoring, since all work is carried on the same document. As with the Low Level Register, editing will be limited to one person at a time to prevent saving errors.
The above image shows what the High Level Risk Register will look like. It carries the same format as the Low Level Risk Register. Should users need to send additional documentation to support their entries on the register, there are links on the form and in the notification emails to do this.
From an admin point of view, progress can easily be monitored. From the workflow summary screen, users can see all the tasks that have been issued to departments and whether they have been completed or not. Should users not complete their tasks before the due date, reminder emails will be sent periodically to encourage them to complete the task.
Check back for more updates soon.
Please note functionality, forms, visuals and times may be subject to change.
//Internet Explorer 11 has some known issues. One being compatibility with SharePoint 2010. If you are using IE 11, you should follow these instructions to enable compatibility with SharePoint 2010.
Go to the ‘Settings’ icon, and select ‘Compatibility View Settings’.
Then in the ‘Add this website’ field, type ‘lincoln.ac.uk’ (without the quote marks), and select ‘Add’.
Then select ‘Close’. From now on IE 11 will be compatible with SharePoint 2010.
If you reset your browser, you may need to follow these instructions again.
//There is a known Microsoft issue with Internet Explorer 8. You may experience a problem with the SharePoint Ribbon, whereby tabs will not be shown correctly, the user menu is not displayed, the ‘Back to Portal’ and ‘Feedback’ buttons are also not visible.
Internet Explorer 8 can default to 125% zoom, and this is what causes the issue. Since this is a Microsoft issue, we cannot fix this problem, however there is a solution.
To solve the problem you can zoom out using the ‘View’ and ‘Zoom’ menu, or use the keyboard shortcut of ‘Ctrl+0’. This will not always permanently solve the problem and may be required when you access the site.
However once the University upgrade the corporate desktop to Windows 7, Internet Explorer will be version 9, which should not have the problem.
