We have reached the final day of our List Rollup highlight series, and while I’d like to say we saved the best for last (because it’s AWESOME), I think all of our products are awesome, so I try not to play favorites. List Rollup boasts extremely powerful features as a content aggregation tool that allows you to combine list data from anywhere in SharePoint®. But once you aggregate the data, how do you display it? With Data-Viewer of course! This leads me to our final product pairing showcase.
Data-Viewer allows you to create intelligent grid views for effective data analysis on a variety of data sources, including SharePoint Lists, SQL Server Tables/Views, and Business Connectivity Services. One of the other data sources it will connect to is List Rollup- imagine that! When combined, the product pairing opens up additional functionality to allow you to:
– Analyze aggregated data from across sites and site collections
– Automatically add data from newly created lists to Data-Viewer
– Filter to only include lists of a specific type and/or location
Our Solutions Director, Julie, paints a perfect picture of a simple, but extremely important use case that benefits from these two products. She takes a common issue within SharePoint – keeping track of tasks assigned to you across multiple sites within your SharePoint portal – and shows you how to set up a single view with Data-Viewer, pulling “My Active Tasks” from multiple lists across multiple sites using List Rollup. This is a great combo to help with user adoption, and more so for self-organization and productivity. Julie’s video takes it a step further and also connects our Alert Plus web part, to bring customized alerts on that aggregated List view straight to the end-user. The possibilities are endless!

I hope you’ve enjoyed this mini-series. We’ve covered a lot, and UNcovered a lot as well. To recap, our List Rollup web part integrates with other powerful Bamboo® tools such as Calendar Plus, Chart Plus, Alert Plus, and finally Data-Viewer (above). I encourage you to test out all of these products, absolutely free, by going here. Or, if you’re ready to really dive in, contact one of our account managers to set up a personal demo right away. We’re proud of these products, and we are confident you will see why.
