Content Types

MatchPoint Snow lets you manage different kinds of content in workspaces using standard SharePoint content types. MatchPoint Snow supports all content types supported by SharePoint, and it provides the full functionality of SharePoint lists and libraries. Depending on the workspace template, the available content types may vary. For example, project workspaces provide an issue management, because issues are a typical content type in projects, whereas community workspaces do not, as it usually does not make sense to manage issues in a community. To access a content type and work on content in a MatchPoint Snow workspace, simply navigate to the corresponding list or library using the menu in the left wing.

As a MatchPoint Snow administrator, you can modify the availability of content types in the different workspace templates. The following table shows their availability in the MatchPoint Snow standard configuration:

Timeline

The timeline list shows the social posts created in a workspace. Posts are created either by workspace owners and members on the workspace home page, or automatically by MatchPoint Snow for important events (e.g. when the workspace is created or when a meeting is scheduled)

Documents

In the document library, you can store and manage all documents created in a workspace. You can create or upload new documents directly in the document library by using the functionality provided in the SharePoint ribbon, or you can use the "Create a document" and "Upload a document" actions in the MatchPoint Snow action panel.
