Purpose <strong>and</strong> Use of Each Built-In Web Part<br />

When you first install a SharePoint site, built-in Web Parts will be visible from the<br />

Add Web Parts tool pane in the gallery <strong>and</strong> the Online gallery. This section<br />

will describe the built-in Web Parts visible within these two galleries.<br />

Gallery<br />

The gallery contains Web Parts that are available to a particular site.<br />

The number of built-in Web Parts installed in this galley depends on whether the site<br />

is a portal site or a Windows SharePoint Services site <strong>and</strong> on the number of lists or<br />

libraries created in an area or site. The built-in Web Parts are described in the following<br />

sections.<br />

Area-Specific Web Parts<br />

These Web Parts are available on portal sites <strong>and</strong> My Site. They enable you to display<br />

area-specific information. By default, the area information that these Web Parts<br />

will display is specific to the area Web Page on which they are placed. So, for example,<br />

if you place the Grouped Listings Web Part on the portal’s home page, you will<br />

see the targeted links held within the Home Portal Listings list. You can, however,<br />

use the Location link in the Current Area Override section of the Properties tool<br />

pane to configure the Grouped Listings Web Part to use the Topic or any other area’s<br />

Portal Listings list.<br />

All these Web Parts have the Appearance, Layout, <strong>and</strong> Advanced properties<br />

mentioned earlier, plus the Change Location property <strong>and</strong> the following Web Part–<br />

specific custom properties:<br />

■ Area Contents. Used to display the contents of subareas; by default, it is<br />

placed on the Topics Web Part Page, where it is labeled Browse Topics By. The<br />

custom properties for this Web Part allow you to specify the number of toplevel<br />

columns, the number of areas shown by default, the number of listings<br />

shown by default, the use of vertical layout for areas <strong>and</strong> listings <strong>and</strong> the alignment<br />

of areas horizontally. These properties show top-level area listings, the<br />

subtitle, Listings, area icons, listing icons, <strong>and</strong> descriptions, <strong>and</strong> they specify<br />

the description trim size.
