Multi-Function Templates

The following SharePoint application templates are designed specifically to help you create a SharePoint site that can assist you with various multi-functional goals. These templates help you accomplish a specific goal but may be suitable for multiple business types, departments, teams or organizations. You can use any of these templates as they are, or further customize them to fit perfectly within your organization.

Document Library and Review

The Document Library and Review application template helps people manage the review cycle common to processes like new product specification, publication, knowledge management, and project plan development. It combines the functionality of a version-tracking document library with a threaded discussion list to provide a feedback and revision system. This template is intended for teams that need a central location for document review, discussion, revision control, and approval.

Inventory Tracking

The Inventory Tracking application template helps organizations track elements associated with inventory. The application template helps managers track inventory levels by capturing manual input of updated inventory information. Users are notified when each part reaches the reorder quantity and helps these users manage customer and supplier information such as historical inventory levels.

Knowledge Base

The Knowledge Base application template helps teams manage the information that is resident within their organization. The template enables team members to upload existing documents or create new ones using web-based content creation tools. Items are tagged with relevant identifying information so that others can more easily find the documents and learn from the collective knowledge in their organization. The template can be utilized in a top down approach, where a centralized knowledge department pushes down relevant content to the rest of the business or a bottom up approach, where knowledge is captured and shared by all users as a normal part of doing business.

The application template tracks general properties about the physical assets and which user has currently checked out the asset. It also provides a librarian dashboard to help identify currently available and overdue assets. Automated e-mail notifications can be sent to borrowers who have an overdue item.
