If you’re using SharePoint for collaboration, documentation, knowledge management, and/or project management, there are undoubtedly times when you would like to be able to see documents, tasks, and some specific lists that reside on a site other than the one you’re in. In other words, you want to be able to retrieve and display the data from another location while still preserving the presentation views that were so painstakingly constructed. In short, what I’m talking about is the familiar and much-loved concept of “what you see is what you get” (WYSIWYG). For example, as a product manager, I upload sales datasheets and additional documentation to our product department site to share with others. The Sales team wants to have this data at their fingertips while they are talking with our customers. However, they don’t necessarily want to have to bookmark or remember the URL. With Cross-Site Display Web Part, you can accomplish all of this with ease, and now, Bamboo has brought the indispensable functionality of Cross-Site Display Web Part to SharePoint 2013.
Here is an example. I want to show the SharePoint tasks and documents that the engineering team is tracking on my site. With some simple configuration in the tool pane, I can display and get to the data and files, and, the information will remain up-to-date as members of the engineering team are updating them:
As with our other products, the Cross-Site Display Web Part is available for a 30-day free trial. Check it out, and let us know what you think.
