Glossary 517
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Protocol used for
copying files to and from remote computer
systems on a network using TCP/IP. The mechanism
cannot be used on SharePoint sites, and
the FTP client was removed from SharePoint
Designer 2010.
foreign key A column that points to the primary
key of another list or database table. This establishes
a relationship between the two lists
or between two database tables.
formula column Additional columns that can be
created using the XPath Expression Builder.
ghosted Web pages The same as uncustomized
Web pages.
globally reusable workflow A workflow that
can be used as a workflow template that is
reusable for all sites within a site collection.
SharePoint Server 2010 is shipped with three
globally reusable workflows. Additional globally
reusable workflows can be created using
SharePoint Designer.
global master pages Master pages defined centrally
and used by most sites, no matter which
site definition the site is created from.
global meeting workspace master page A
Master page defined centrally and used by all
sites created from a meeting workspace site
definition.
global navigation breadcrumb A navigation icon
next to Site Actions that displays the ScreenTip
“Navigate Up” and shows the path from the
top-level site to the current site. See also local
breadcrumb. Users can use a combination of
the two breadcrumbs to navigate or keep track
of their location.
HTTP GET method Used to communicate with
the Web server. The information is appended
to the end of the URL. Usually used to retrieve
data from the Web server.
HTTP POST method Used to communicate with
the Web server. The information is provided in
the body of the request. Used to transmit data
to the Web server, where the data is stored,
updated, or deleted. The data could also involve
ordering a product or sending an e-mail
message.
inline editing A configured page that can be
used to display, edit, insert, or delete list items,
where links are added to every row so that
in the browser you can edit items directly in
place.
layer An absolute positioned HTML division
tag. You use the tag to group elements
so that you can format them with styles
or create animations or flyout menus.
library A specialized list that contains files and
metadata properties associated with those
files. Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010
has four types of libraries: Document, Form,
Wiki Page, and Picture. SharePoint Server 2010
contains additional libraries, such as Report,
Translation Management, Data Connection,
and Slide. See list.
list A container that stores structured tabular
data items that are related to one another
through similar values, metadata, or security
settings. Lists provide columns for storing
metadata and a user interface for viewing and
managing the items.
list template A definition of a list that you can
use as a blueprint to create a new list or library
in the browser. List templates are stored in the
SQL Server database and include information
about the columns, list views, and forms to be
created, plus general settings such as whether
versioning or content approval is enabled
when the list is created. Optionally, list templates
can contain content—that is, list items
or, if the list template is for a library, documents
together with their metadata.
local breadcrumb A sequence of links that shows
the path from the home page of a site to the
current page. See also global navigation breadcrumb.
Users can use a combination of the two
breadcrumbs to navigate or keep track of their
location.
