Departmental Documents

Documents you create on the job that need to be shared with others in your office are classified as departmental documents. Make sure you store them appropriately so others can get to them!

SharePoint

SharePoint is the primary storage solution for SPU departments and acts both as a file storage server as well as a workflow and collaboration solution. Talk with your department SharePoint and group managers about SharePoint and whether your job requires its use.

Having trouble finding the right SharePoint site for your needs? Are you a department manager who needs a new SharePoint site set up? Please contact cis-bst@spu.edu and we can help assess your needs and get a new site set up.

If you would like to share files from SharePoint, see our article on /wiki/spaces/CIS/pages/36144231

SMB File Share

There are a limited number of cases where SharePoint isn't a viable solution for department files (eg. SFTP-type traffic from an external source like the Department of Education, Tableau data sources). For these cases, we utilize a file share called 'SMB'. If you're having trouble with SharePoint, please contact HelpDesk. If you have a case that needs to be further assessed, or cis-bst@spu.edu for assistance. See more information about SMB File Shares
