  2. Working on a deadline: To assign a Task using the Calendar

Site Contents

1. Power BI: Microsoft provides comprehensive BI tools that integrate across Office applications and other Microsoft technologies. These tools enable analysis, reporting, dashboards and visualizations.
   
   
2. Process Diagrams: This is a library where we have all the templates to be used as Visio Files.

We can see the Process Diagram library below. It is a normal library but when you click on New Document you will be able to see the following Visio Files.



As in the screenshot below, we can see all the available visio templates. Not only this, even the user can upload their own templates and create Visio Files.

It will be so ideal to create Visio files since you need not send them using emails to other people, you can just provide them access and share with them.

Secondly storing them on a limited size mail box is also an issue but it is overcome if it is used by SharePoint.

Kindly find the following all the templates available.



Site Settings

Finally we can see the site settings, that you can see from the previous blogs on Site Settings in SharePoint 2013 at C# Corner.

Here it was an amazing Visio Library, there is more to come.

Until then, Keep Learning.
Cheers.
