About Meeting Workspace Sites

Note  If you are familiar with Microsoft® Windows® SharePoint™ Services Web sites, you will be familiar with a Meeting Workspace site. The Meeting Workspace site is a special type of SharePoint subsite under a parent SharePoint site. Help for the Meeting Workspace site, as well as general Windows SharePoint Services Help, is available from the Meeting Workspace site.

The Meeting Workspace site is made up of one or more pages that contain meeting details and lists of information that are common when planning, conducting, or following up on a meeting. Typical lists for a Meeting Workspace site include Objectives, Agenda, Attendees, Decisions, and Tasks. In addition to lists, you can add a document library and a picture library where users can store materials related to the meeting. The lists and libraries that appear by default on the home page depend on the template you choose when you create the Meeting Workspace site.

On the home page (or any new pages you add), the information is divided into parts called Web Parts. Web Parts exist for each type of list or library and for other types of information you can add to the Meeting Workspace site.

If the Meeting Workspace site doesn't contain all the information you need or you don't like the layout or look of the Meeting Workspace site you created, or if you need to automate certain actions on the Meeting Workspace site, you can make the changes you need programmatically. See
