18. Contact Management Simple People & Organization Tracking
Quick editing of people and organizations
Two interconnected lists: people & orgs
Basic tagging
Connected to SharePoint resources (images, etc.)
Expandable as you work

19. Pattern: Use fields to allow for easy customization
Everyone needs to track different data, over different phases of lifecycle
Typically, this requires expensive re-work of solutions
Solution:
Add “Field Iterators” that allow custom editability, incorporate user-added fields

20. Inventory and Checkouts
Lending Library and Simple Check-outs
Check-outs and reservations
Optional location tracking
Optional imagery, etc.

21. Pattern: Use Microsoft Flow to add notifications and custom logic
Teams and scenarios have widely different standards and styles for work
Supporting many different modalities is difficult
Solution:
Use workflow tools against data in SharePoint lists

22. Change Requests Basic change request submissions Two Parts:
My Change Requests
Change Request Triage
Securable Discussions of Change Items

23. Pattern: Use different lists for different security needs and roles
Many applications have different roles – and these different roles can require isolation
Supporting many security scenarios is tricky
Solution:
Use differing lists with different roles and groups for security needs

24. Time Away Simple out-of-the-office tracker and away-view
“Approval Mode” allows for basic out-of-office approval tracking
Two parts:
My Time Away
Time Away Summary

25. Pattern: Use SharePoint fields for basic approval scenarios
Approval is the most common form of workflow – and nearly ubiquitous across business applications
Solution:
Use approval field for tracking approvals and sign-offs
