What is Document and Meeting workspaces?

jriker1 — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 16:34:00 GMT

I noticed in 3.4a/b that there is an option in the pulldown on a user's mysites dashboard to filter the sites list and it lists Document Workspaces and Meeting Workspaces. Are these new or am I missing something? I have alrways created a new "Site" as a collaboration site, no other default choices

The meeting spaces are created from within Outlook's calendaring function when the SharePoint protocol is in use. I believe this capability was added with v3.3.

Thanks for the info. So if we are not using Outlook, this functionality is not usable? Curious also if there is any documentation on meeting spaces. I know about creating Sites for people to collaborate in, however meeting spaces sounds different almost like a temporary workplace during a live meeting or something.

Thanks.

I am only aware of Outlook implementing the SharePoint protocol, but I don't know for sure if any other client software has that capability. I haven't looked for documentation on this, I kind of stumble upon it while testing Outlook integration one day. There was a button on the meeting calendar screen that said something like "create site".
