Examples

Below you can find some examples for SharePoint wikis and where the BlueBridge Wiki Extensions can be very helpful.

Example 1: Handbooks / Manuals

Thinking about documentation, most people would reach straight to Microsoft Word. Of course Word is an excellent piece of software, but there are a number of cases where it might make more sense to use a wiki:

Each topic (article) is written by a specialist in that field
Permissions can be set flexibly in SharePoint
No time wasted on complicated formatting, margins etc., as is often the case in normal documents
Users don't have to check out and edit a whole document just to correct a typing error
In context and optimised for SharePoint search

With the BlueBridge Wiki Extensions you don't have to live without a proper structure and can save the "document" to PDF at any time.

Example 2: Event Planning

Planning events and trade fairs is generally a very stressful experience, and mistakes are easily made.

Using a wiki to plan an event means that you can pre-define a catalogue of questions (e.g. who will be participating, what is the marketing focus of the event?) that can be worked through, one by one. The key advantage here is that the information is online and so everyone stays up to date and it's much easier to identify points that have been forgotten.

The template function in the Wiki Extensions means that you can quickly create an identical catalogue of questions for the next event, saving time in the planning stages. Furthermore, you can take advantage of a structured approach, using the navigation web part to jump through the questions easily, and then exporting the whole library to PDF so that you can take it with you to the event.

Example 3: Knowledge Management

There is of course, no reason why you shouldn't use the Wiki Extensions for conventional knowledge bases. In these cases, the BlueBridge Wiki Extensions help by:

Allowing PDF Exports of SharePoint views
Offering an icon gallery, e.g. to display keyboard commands graphically
Limiting the user's ability to select fonts / font sizes
