Detailed Feature Descriptions

App Catalog
Description
Implementing the Sharepoint App Catalog will require some additional configuration
work that the Sharepoint Engineering team is currently scheduled to complete by
mid-FY14. If you have an urgent need for App Catalog capabilities, please see the
Sharepoint Collaboration Service Manager.
For details on SP2013 App Catalog, please see this Technet article.
Sharepoint 2013 Workflows

POLICY
SP2013 workflows will be implemented in early FY15. In the meantime, all previous
SP2010 workflows will work in SP2013.
For details on SP2013 workflows, please see this TechNet article.
Enterprise Sharepoint 2013 Search

POLICY
Alternate search center pages are prohibited. If you have a strong business
need for a custom search center page, please see the Sharepoint Collaboration
Service Manager.
HP Restricted
Page 5 of 38
Any changes to search navigation are prohibited. If you have a strong business
need for custom search navigation, please see the Sharepoint Collaboration Service
Manager.
Indexing frequency: Indexers run approximately every 15 minutes. Content
changes such as adds, updates, or deletes should be reflected in search results within
15 minutes.
Re-Index Site option: This option is generally discouraged as all site content will be
reindexed on a regular basis by the Sharepoint search crawlers. However, electing
the re-indexing option may be appropriate if a site has changed as per below and
search access is needed urgently (faster than 15 minutes):
Changes have been made to site metadata structure

Site has just been restored from a back-up
Changes made to site security rules
Note that most content changes to a site such as additions, updates, or deletes will
get reflected in search, i.e., seen by users, within 15 minutes or so, so the Re-Index
Site option should be used only in urgent situations.
Managed search properties are configurable at the site level.
Best Bets will be supported in Sharepoint Search 2013. Details on Best Best
administration are work in progress.
Personal Sites, Skydrive Pro and HP Data Drive

DESCRIPTION
By default, all HP employees receive a personal site on Sharepoint 2013. Simply go to
my.sharepoint.hp.com and your personal site will be created for you. Personal sites
include a newsfeed, a blog option, SkyDrive Pro which provides you a personal
Sharepoint library and the ability to sync your Sharepoint content to your PC
(formerly known as Workspace).
The Personal site folder quota is limited to 500mb. But is NOT as a replacement for
ones hard drive.
HP Data Drive hosted in HPs private data cloud is intended to replace your
business usage of public cloud services like DropBox and Box. With this new solution,
you can store, sync and share your HP business files across multiple devices.
Capabilities include:

HP Restricted

25 GB of cloud storage hosted in HP data centers

Sync files between your Windows-based PCs and tablets and
leave your flash drive at home
Mobile access to files from Android or iOS devices

Share files internally or externally using the recipients email
addresses
To begin using this service, order HP Data Drive. For more information, please see
the HP Data Drive service page.
For more information on SkyDrive Pro, see http://office.microsoft.com/enus/sharepoint-server-help/what-is-skydrive-pro-HA102822076.aspx
For more information on the social features of SP2013, see this Technet article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/fp142374.aspx
Access Services
POLICY
Access Services are not supported in production environments due to the Sharepoint
SQL Reporting Services requirement and version compatibility management issues
between Access clients and SharePoint.
Business Data Connectivity Services

POLICY
This feature is not turned on due to performance management and supportability
concerns it introduces.

HP Restricted

Self-Service Site Provisioning

POLICY
Self provisioning of teams sites and HP Community sites are supported in SP2013 and
available at the SP Service page at:
http://intranet.hp.com/HPIT/GetIT/Sharepoint/Pages/index.aspx
DESCRIPTION
Self-service site creation allows users to provision SharePoint sites themselves. Toplevel self-service site creation is configured by SharePoint farm administrators,
whereas self-service site creation for sub-sites within a site collection is configured by
the site collection administrators.
In all server farms that allow self-service site provisioning, HP customizes the
standard SharePoint provisioning page to ensure that all sites have a unique name
across the entire enterprise. Enforcing name uniqueness enables HP IT to support
permanent site names and our short URL feature. Unique names also make migration
and site moves easier.
Default Site Templates

POLICY
Most out-of-box site templates are available. Custom site templates defined by HP
teams/businesses cannot be deployed globally (ie, shared across site collections).
This is a product limitation in SharePoint 2013. Custom site templates can only be
deployed for consumption within a site collection, consumed by subsites. Custom site
templates can not be deployed at the server farm level. Custom site definitions are
not supported. Microsoft custom templates (such as FAB 40) are not deployed, for
supportability reasons.
The following site templates are blocked on the Collaboration farms:
Blank Site hinders the IT banner

Blank Meeting Workspace - hinders the IT banner
My Site Host created by IT, not end users
Document Center by policy, SharePoint is not an archiving or large scale
document management solution
Records Center by policy
Enterprise Search Center includes people search, which is only deployed on
Services farm
Publishing Site by policy
Publishing Site with Workflow by policy

HP Restricted
Page 8 of 38
DESCRIPTION
Default site templates are provided by SharePoint for top-level and subsite creations.
Each template defines the layout of a site, features available, as well as lists and
document libraries that are automatically created with the site.
For a description of out-of-box site templates, see
http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/blogs/GetThePoint/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=65.
Default Web Parts

POLICY
Web parts are reusable, customizable components on a web page. All out-of-box web
parts are available to users. Note some web parts may not function if they are
dependent on features that are not supported within SharePoint, or have external
dependencies outside of SharePoint. For example, the Business Connectivity Services
web parts will not work because BCS is not supported.

Recycle Bin
POLICY
SP2013includes a two-stage recycle bin consisting of a Stage 1 recycle bin, which is
site focused, and a Stage 2 recycle bin, which is site collection focused. The content
expiration period, after which content is automatically deleted, is 30 days,
cummulative, for the two bins.
Stage 2 Recycle Bin (site collection level

Contains: Deleted Sites, All Stage 1 Recycle Bin
content
Accessible by: Site owners/administrators only
Retention period: 30 days total or until its storage
quota is exceeded at which point content is aged

Quota: Stage 2 Recycle Bin content does NOT
count against a sites storage quota.

)
Contains:
Accessible by: end users
Retention period: 30 days
Quota: Stage 1 Recycle Bin content is counted

as part of a sites storage quota.

HP Restricted
Page 11 of 38
DESCRIPTION
SharePoint supports two levels of Recycle Bins at the site level (Stage 1) and site
collection level (Stage 2). Items in the Stage 1 recycle bin can be recovered by users
with the appropriate permissions. Recovered items are restored to their original
location. The Stage 1 recycle bin is counted as part of the site collection quota.
The Stage 2 recycle bin is a site-collection-level recycle bin, accessible only by toplevel site administrators and site collection administrators. It includes all existing
items in the Stage 1 recycle bins within the site collection, items that have been
deleted from the Stage 1 recycle bins, and any sites that have been deleted within
the site collection. The Stage 2 recycle bin is not counted as part of the site collection
quota, and its capacity is adjustable by SharePoint farm administrators.
The recycle bins capture deletion of most content:
Lists
Document libraries
Documents
List items
Folders
Sites (second stage recycle bin only)
However, some items are not captured by the recycle bin, and cannot be recovered
by users. These items include:
Workflows
List changes, such as deleting columns
Language Packs
POLICY
The HP IT Collaboration farms will support sites in English and Japanese.
DESCRIPTION
Language packs enable site owners and site collection administrators to create
SharePoint sites and site collections in multiple languages. English and Japanese are
the only two supported languages.
Inbound Email
POLICY
Email-enabled lists are enabled in all Collaboration farms. Maximum message size is
25 MB in 2013 farms (reduced from 50 MB in SharePoint 2007 farms to align with
Messaging).

HP Restricted
Page 12 of 38
DESCRIPTION
Incoming email enables SharePoint sites to receive and store email messages and
attachments in lists and libraries. This new feature enables teams to store the email
that they send to other team members without opening the SharePoint site and
uploading the content that was sent in email. This is possible because most types of
lists and libraries can be assigned a unique email address.
Outbound Email
POLICY
Outbound email is enabled in all Collaboration farms. SMS is has not been
implemented by HP IT.
DESCRIPTION
Users can configure SharePoint to send email alerts that are triggered by certain
events, such as changes to lists or documents. SMS support has not been
implemented because of telecom contract dependencies.
RSS Feeds
POLICY
RSS feeds are enabled on all Collaboration farms.
DESCRIPTION
Real Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds deliver new content to you on the topics in
which you are interested. RSS provides a convenient way to syndicate information
from a variety of sources, including news stories, updates to a Web site or important
bulletins. Most people take advantage of some form of feed-reader software to
monitor updates to RSS feeds.
SharePoint offers server-side RSS feeds, as well as a client-side RSS reader (RSS Web
Part) to consume RSS feeds from any RSS-enabled site. When RSS is enabled for a
web application, you can modify a list or document library to publish RSS feeds. For
each feed, you can configure the RSS channel options, document options, what
columns to publish, and how many items to include.
By default, the RSS Web Part supplied with SharePoint only supports anonymous
feeds. Authenticated feeds require constrained delegation, which must be configured
by IT. Thus, for the RSS Web Part to consume SharePoint feeds on the HP
Collaboration farms, you may need to enable anonymous access to the list or site.

HP Restricted
Page 13 of 38
Workflows
POLICY
Predefined workflows and declarative (created with Designer) workflows are allowed
in all farms. Note that Sharepoint 2013 workflows will not be supported until early FY
15. Until then, Sharepoint 2010 workflows will work in SharePoint 2013 sites.
Compiled workflows (created with Visual Studio) are not supported because
they require the deployment of server-side code. Server-side code creates
significant performance risk and maintenance challenges.
By default, email-enabled workflows are disabled. This means workflows will not start
when items are added via email. IT has security and performance concerns with autostarting workflows by email.
Usage of workflow history lists for long-term (greater than 30 days)
history/auditing is strictly prohibited. Workflow history lists are system
assets and subject to administrative actions, such as deletions for file
management purposes, and cannot be relied upon for archival, validation,
or other purposes. If your workflow management requirements dictate that you
need workflow history data for longer than 30 days it is recommended that you store
this data in a custom list on your site.
DESCRIPTION
Workflows can be used to consistently manage common business processes within an
organization by enabling the organization to attach business logic to documents or
items in a SharePoint list or library. Examples of business processes that could be
facilitated by workflows include contract approvals, issue tracking, and content
publishing.
SharePoint provides several predefined workflows:
Approval
Collect Feedback
Collect Signatures
Disposition Approval
Three-state workflow
Translation Management
Issue Tracking
In addition, Designer allows workflow designers to add application logic and complex
branch conditions.
Please visit these sites for more information about SharePoint workflows:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/ff819861
WebDAV (file drag & drop)

POLICY
WebDAV is enabled on all SharePoint Collaboration farms.
DESCRIPTION
WebDAV is a protocol that allows SharePoint sites to be accessed by UNC path name,
for example, \\ent11.sharepoint.hp.com\teams\myproject. This allows users to use
standard Windows Explorer to drag and drop files into SharePoint sites. Users may
enter the UNC path directly in an existing Windows Explorer window, or launch
Windows Explorer from Internet Explorer.
Document Conversions
POLICY
This feature is not available on the Early Adopter farm, and there are no plans yet to
offer this feature on other farms, as IT has not completed testing, and user interest
has been low for this feature.
DESCRIPTION
Document Conversions transforms files from document types to standard web pages.
Built-in convertors shipped in a default SharePoint installation include Microsoft Office
Word, Office Infopath, and XML. This feature enables users to create documents in a
familiar program and then publish them as Web pages within a site collection.
The following formats are supported:
InfoPath Form to Web Page (xml into html)
Word Document to Web Page (docx into html)
Word Document with Macros to Web Page (docm into html)
XML to Web Page (xml into html)
Office Web Apps

Office Web Apps are web applications that let you create, edit and share your Excel,
Word, PowerPoint and OneNote files from any browser.
You can share and simultaneously work on your documents with co-workers, freeing
you from the need to merge different versions later.

HP Restricted

Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and OneNote WebApps are enabled on all Sharepoint farms.

InfoPath Forms Services

POLICY
This feature is enabled on all Collaboration farms.
Only user form templates are allowed; form templates that require serverside configuration are not supported.
Proxy for data connections are not supported, because external data
sources introduce dependencies that create manageability problems for IT.
DESCRIPTION
InfoPath Forms Services enables users to fill out Microsoft Office InfoPath forms by
using a Web browser instead of the Office InfoPath client program. This allows wider
HP Restricted

access to forms than was possible with previous versions of Microsoft Office InfoPath.
In addition, InfoPath Forms Services provides a central location to store and manage
form templates.

Information Management Policy

POLICY
All Information Management Policy features (labels, expiration, bar codes, auditing)
are enabled.
DESCRIPTION
Information Management policies allow site administrators to control and evaluate
who can access the information, how long to retain information, and how effectively
people are complying with the policy itself.
There are four types of policies available:
Auditing
Allows audit logging of changes to documents and list

items.
Expiration
Allows automatic expiry of documents and list items

that have passed their due date.
Barcodes
Generates unique identifiers that can be inserted in

Microsoft Office documents. Barcodes can also be
used to search for documents.
Labels
Generates labels that can be inserted in Microsoft

Office documents to ensure that document properties
or other important information are included when
documents are printed. Labels can also be used to
search for documents.
Note: Barcodes and Labels can only be applied to Office documents.
Information Rights Management (IRM)

POLICY
Information Rights Management is not supported because IRM is not within the
charter of the Collaboration team.
Managed Metadata Service

POLICY
Content tagging using local term sets and Enterprise Keywords will be enabled on
production SharePoint 2013 farms.

HP Restricted
Page 24 of 38
Content type hub is not supported due to IT unresolved issues with content type
ownership and change management of shared content types.
DESCRIPTION
This service consists of a centralized term store and provides the following features:
Enterprise Keywords words or phrases created by end users, used in social
tagging (which is a triplet consisting of user, URL, term) as well as content tagging
(terms associated to specific list items or documents). Keywords are reused globally
(across farms and site collections).
Global term sets (Enterprise taxonomy) pre-defined (managed) terms that are
often organized into a hierarchy, and shared across site collections. Only authorized
users with appropriate permissions may update the managed terms. Currently, there
are no managed terms in the global term set.
Local term sets allows list owners to specify taxonomy scoped to a single site
collection.
Content type publishing allows for sharing of content types across site
collections.
PowerPivot for SharePoint

POLICY
HP intends to support PowerPivot in mid-FY14.
DESCRIPTION
PowerPivot for SharePoint extends Excel Services by integrating the PowerPivot's
large scale data processing capability into SQL Server and SharePoint. PowerPivot
allows workbooks to exceed the one million row limit, but they are still constrained by
SharePoint's 2 GB file size limit. PowerPivot server components must be installed on
both SharePoint and SQL Server.
PowerPoint Services
POLICY
PowerPoint Services is enabled in all Collaboration farms. Broadcasting is not
supported because slide sharing during presentations are already supported with HP
Virtual Rooms.

HP Restricted
Page 25 of 38
DESCRIPTION
PowerPoint Services is a component of the Office Web Apps feature, newly released
with SharePoint 2013. It renders PowerPoint slides (ppt and pptx extensions) in the
browser, for viewing as well as editing. Broadcast Slide Show is a new feature in
Office 2013that allows presenters to broadcast a slide show to remote users via a
web browser. It requires SharePoint farm administrators to define a PowerPoint
Broadcast Site collection. Presenters may use broadcast sites hosted by their IT
organization, or the public broadcast service by Microsoft.
For more information, see the Office Web Apps Overview at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431685.aspx.
PerformancePoint Services
POLICY
HP intends to support PowerPivot in mid-FY14.
DESCRIPTION
PerformancePoint Services 2013 allows users to quickly create business intelligence
dashboards on SharePoint 2013. Authors use a client-side application called the
Dashboard Designer, which allows for definition of KPIs, scorecards, charts, and so
on.
PerformancePoint can leverage a variety of data sources to render its dashboards,
including SharePoint lists, web services, and line of business data sources.
Remote BLOB Service

POLICY
RBS is not currently offered.
Sandboxed Code
POLICY
Sandboxed code is NOT supported in Sharepoint 2013. Sandboxed code has been
deprecated and replaced by App Catalog capabilities.

HP Restricted
Page 26 of 38
Secure Store Service

POLICY
Secure Store Service is not currently deployed because this feature is not within the
charter of Collaboration Team.
Security
POLICY
Anonymous access is allowed in all Collaboration farms. It is up to site and content
owners to enable this.
Currently, SharePoint 2013 farms are generally not accessible over the Internet.
However, some employees may use the HP Secure Web Access (SWA) service on a
limited basis to access internal web sites. An investigation effort is underway to test a
general purpose solution for accessing SharePoint for mobile employees at customer
sites, and mobile devices.
DESCRIPTION
Anonymous access allows unauthenticated users read-only access SharePoint
content. The common use cases for anonymous access are Unix desktop users who
do not have Active Directory accounts.
Anonymous access can be enabled on a SharePoint site, list or library. If anonymous
access is enabled on the site, users will be able to view all pages in the site, as well
as view all lists and items which inherit permissions from the site. If anonymous
access is enabled for lists and libraries, users will be able to access only the specific
lists and libraries that have enabled permissions for anonymous users.
SharePoint Designer
POLICY
Site owners may not make any changes that alter or removes HP IT branding,
including detaching from the default master page, customizing master and layout
pages, or detaching pages from the site template. Sites that are used for publishing
and branding belong in the WPC service. In the interim, if you require advanced
branding capabilities in your 2013 site, approval is required by Collaboration Service
Management.
IT discourages the use of Designer for modifying SharePoint content and
does not support changes made using Designer.
HP Restricted
Page 27 of 38
Changes made by Designer often remove key Sharepoint tools located in the
standard banner and hinder manageability and migrateability. Site owners are
responsible for the risks introduced through the use of Designer.
Note: SharePoint Designer is not deployed as a standard PC COE application. Users
must install it manually on their desktops. It is essential that Designer and Sharepoint
releases align.
Acceptable uses of SharePoint Designer:
Changing location of web part zones, width of column of pages, layout
changes
Configuring the DataView web part
Creating workflows (SP2010 workflows ONLY are supported until early FY15,
at which point we plan to support SP2013 workflows.)
Discouraged uses:
Completely changing look & feel, navigation, as it will likely cause problems
during migration. HP IT does not support migration of highly customized sites.
Prohibited uses:
Tampering with or hiding the HP banner, notifications, tools menu, support
menu
DESCRIPTION
SharePoint Designer is an optional Office client that offers a richer integration with
SharePoint. It allows rapid development without the deployment of server side code,
and other advanced capabilities, such as branding, configuration of the data view
web part, site url navigation, content backup and restore.

Usage and Health Data Collection

POLICY
Usage and health data collection is enabled on all farms. The developer dashboard is
enabled on-demand, so that end users and support can access the data for
performance troubleshooting.
DESCRIPTION
Usage and health data collection is a new monitoring feature in SharePoint 2013. It
collects system performance data as well as site and site collection usage metrics,
and search usage. The data is stored in a central database, and can be directly
queried by farm administrators..
For more information see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748636.aspx.
The developer dashboard is used for performance troubleshooting. It displays the
execution and performance of the current page. It will render the page timings ondemand, when the user clicks on the Developer Dashboard icon in the top right
corner, next to the user name.
Dashboard is rendered at the bottom of the page: kill the screen shot below)

User Profile Service Application

POLICY
The User Profile Service is currently deployed in the Shared Services farm. All content
farms are integrated with the UPA to provide social tagging and ratings capabilities in
team sites.
Note: The Sharepoint and OneHP profiles are independent of one another. They are
not synced, and users must maintain separate profiles in each environment.
Users can upload a picture to their profile. The pictures will be stored in SharePoint. In
the future, the picture may be imported from the Enterprise Directory (via the Active
Directory). This would allow consistent employee photos across SharePoint, Outlook
and Office Communicator, since the latter two applications pull pictures from the
Active Directory, not SharePoint.
The user profile service will perform incremental synchronizations approx. every 15
minutes.. All active, primary user accounts from will be imported. Active Directory
groups will not be imported.

DESCRIPTION
The UPA enables social computing features on the SharePoint 2013 collaboration
platform. It provides a central location for storing and managing user profiles. Some
key features include:
- User profiles with fields imported from Active Directory, as well as supplied by
users. Allows users to find information about other users skills and interests
across organization boundaries.
- Organization browser to show reporting relationships and hierarchy
- Personal sites - one per user
- Social tags and notes allows users to apply tags to SharePoint content
- Ratings on list items and pages
- People search with phonetic name matching
For more information, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee662538.aspx.
Visio Graphics Service

POLICY
Visio Graphics Service is enabled on all farms. Data-connected web drawings will not
be supported due to security considerations.
DESCRIPTION
This feature allows users to view Visio 2013 web drawings (.vdw files) in the browser,
so that viewers do not need the Visio client installed on their local computer. The web
drawings must first be published to SharePoint 2013 using Visio Professional or Visio
Premium 2013 editions.

Word Automation Service

POLICY
Word Automation Service is not supported because this is not an out-of-the-box end
user feature; development is required to implement the document conversions.
Office Web Apps (add description and user settings)

Replaces services (except for Visio)
In SharePoint 2010, this feature was included with SharePoint. With SharePoint 2013,
Office documents are rendered in the browser using a separate product called Office
Web Apps (OWA). OWA is hosted on dedicated servers, and can be shared by other
server products (Exchange 2013, Lync 2013) and can also render files hosted on file
shares.
OWA supports rendering of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. In addition, it can
provide language translations for documents using Microsofts Translator online
service, and retrieving clipart from Office.com. Due to security concerns because
content is sent over the Internet, translation services and clipart will not be enabled
on HP ITs OWA farms.
All communications to OWA will be secured with SSL, offloaded to the load balancers.
Constraints
Blocked File Types
IT blocks files mainly for security or performance reasons. The blocked file type policy
is very permissive. The main types of blocked extensions are Access databases and
Outlook personal folder files. Compressed (zip) files are allowed, so as a workaround,
you can zip up files that SharePoint does not allow.
Note: the max upload file size is 100 MB.

List Throttling
List resource throttling allows farm administrators to restrict the list thresholds,
preventing large lists from monopolizing server resources. If your list grows beyond
the view limits, please refer to this video on techniques to manage large lists:

Managed Paths
All sites will be placed under /teams to avoid breaking relative links after data
migration. IT does not support custom managed paths, as this may cause confusion
for end users in deciding which path to use during self-service provisioning.
The SharePoint Partner farm will remain /external.
Site Quota
New site collections start with 500mb default quota. Site owners can self-upgrade
site quotas up to 20 GB. Quotas beyond 20 GB require approval because the site
must be moved to a dedicated database for recoverability. A site outage will be
required when upgrading sites to a quota larger than 20 GB. Beyond 20 GB, quota
increments are 5 GB. Individual templates will be applied for sites >20 GB.
SharePoint emails site owners when the site reaches the warning threshold.
