Document Library and List Options in SharePoint Foundation 2010 and SharePoint Server 2010

The next topic to review is the differences in list, library, and page options between the products. It is important to mention that the base functionality in document libraries is similar between SharePoint Foundation 2010 and SharePoint Server 2010 with the same basic tools available in the different versions. These include the following:

• New Document/Upload Document

• New Folder

• Edit Document

• Check Out/Check In/Discard Check Out

• View Properties/Edit Properties

• Version History

• Document Permissions

• Delete Document

• Email a Link

• Download a Copy/Send To/Manage Copies/Go To Source

• Workflows

• Publish/Unpublish/Approve/Reject/Cancel Approval

However, SharePoint Server 2010 Standard and Enterprise add the I Like It and the Tags and Notes options, which can be valuable to collect social information and metadata.

Within the document library settings for SharePoint Foundation 2010, you have a more limited selection of tools to work with, as shown in Table 18.7.

Chapter 19, “Using Libraries and Lists in SharePoint 2010,” covers these tools in more detail, including how they will affect the day-to-day experience of document library users.

Table 18.8 continues the comparison between SharePoint Foundation 2010 and SharePoint Server 2010 capabilities by covering the different library and list options available from the create.aspx page on a site. As expected, some additional lists and libraries can be created if SharePoint Server 2010 Standard or Enterprise are installed, but these are limited and only include the Asset Library, Slide Library, Data Connection Library, Report Library, and Status List, as shown in the table.
