DC Software Solutions Information

SharePoint Data Doc is designed to make it easy to bring data from any SharePoint server lists, including custom lists, directly to your MS Word documents. The application uses WSS with a standard URL, username and password to make it accesible to the vast majority of SharePoint users. A locally stored XML template we call a data set, is used to store the list details including the selected search criteria field. Put these components together with specially named bookmarks in your document and we have a tool that can do quite a few things on top of just bringing the data across. For example it allows us to use a single standard document (letter, fax et al) place our bookmarks for SPDD data, then use this document to batch create 1000 letters in one go using data from SharePoint as our source. We select all of the records we require from our Contacts list on SharePoint, then select the document and hit "Create Batch" and 1000 individual documents are created in just a few minutes, a tiny fraction of the time it would have taken us before. Upcoming features of SPDD include the ability to create "Join" data sets between lists, as well as Downloading and Uploading to your SharePoint document libraries. The ability to download images is also coming soon.
