Integrate SharePoint With Outlook

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 06:10:20 Z

I am integrating Outlook 2007 with SharePoint. When i try to connect my task list with outlook, it displays all the tasks in the outlook at the first instance. I want that the person should be able to see his or her own task like they see in SharePoint task list (I have filter the items where person to whom the task is assigned can see his or her items). I want the same thing in outlook. That is when the user click the connect button (Connect button in SharePoint list), then he should not be able to see task assigned to others. Is this possible????

I know we can filter the items in outlook where the user can see the tasks assigned to him. But how is security maintained then when user can see everything?

Collaboration is inter-person collaboration.

This seems to be a standard admin (or genera)l question

Moving to the Admin forum.

Integrate SharePoint With Outlook

Hi,

This is by design, if you choose "Connect to Outlook", the complete list of tasks from the task part of the SharePoint team site will be synchronized between the SharePoint team site and an Outlook task list. And thus if you only want to see your own tasks from SharePoint in an Outlook task list, then you need to do some programming at the SharePoint end or within Outlook. I think you can try to use RSS to notify user, it should work for showing a user the list of tasks they want to see.

Hope it can help you.
