Chapter 18. A Little Administration

The primary emphasis of this book has been on the tools SharePoint Designer provides to help you produce great SharePoint site designs and applications. Yet SharePoint Designer also provides many features that are useful for administering and maintaining web sites, but do not directly involve the creative process. This chapter describes some of those key features and shows you how to:

  • Create usage reports with SharePoint Designer and SharePoint.

  • Customize reports.

  • Develop your own reports.

  • Back up and restore SharePoint Designer sites.

  • Save, move, and share list and library templates.

It also explains some ways to take the work you have done to customize a site and re-use it in other environments.
