SharePoint has very limited OOTB charting options. Fortunately charting tools are plentiful on the Web, and can be integrated with SharePoint. This workshop will review some of the available options, featuring in particular Sparklines (inline charts) solutions.

With the announcement that SharePoint 2010 will include Sparkline for creating charts and graphs, the solutions provided in this workshop will give you a two to three year jump start, incorporating Sparklines into current WSS and MOSS sites.

You won't have to purchase any third party web parts to implement these solutions. Everything will be available out of the box or available for free as part of the resources for the workshop.  

This is the second workshop in a three part series on using Charts and Graphs in SharePoint. You do not have to take the previous workshop in order to take this one... they are all stand-alone solutions.

Workshop Overview

The limitations for displaying charts and graphs in a WSS site can be daunting. At least in MOSS, there are Excel Services available. In this live online, hands-on workshop, we will go over various solutions for providing dynamically generated charts and graphs in a WSS implementation.

The data used to drive the charts will come from SharePoint lists, libraries, RSS feeds and web services. Don't store your charts and graphs in Excel where noone can see them... expose them in the web browser through SharePoint! 

Who is this for?

This workshop is aimed at site administrators and power users who need to manage and display graphical information in their SharePoint site.
