Work affecting SharePoint pages – 24 July

SharePoint upgrade
Due to an update we are making to SharePoint, the service will be taken down for approximately four hours. To minimise disruption, we have identified Friday 24 July between 6pm and 10pm as the most convenient time for this work to take place.

If there is anything we need to be aware of, or if there are particular issues with doing the work on that date please contact IS&T on x 3333.

For those with Intranet pages built on SharePoint
If your faculty or directorate intranet site is built on SharePoint, please can you check that all pages are up to date and that anything obsolete is deleted. IS&T will be testing a new search tool (Funnelback) which will enable searching of SharePoint intranet sites via the main intranet search box. When we make that live, it will be confusing for staff if they pull up out of date content with the new search function.
