SharePoint Set Audiences
February 17, 2011
Did you ever have to code a target audience? Did you find it redundant that you had to use four semi-colons to separate the target groups? We found an article about the very topic: “Setting Target Audiences with Code” and found that while it was helpful, there were better ways to achieve the same end.
The article explains if you have a global audience, there must be the four semi-colons to follow the value as the other values are blank. Security/distribution lists must have them before and after. It gets even more complicated with SharePoint groups require four semi-colons before group names. If this was an essay and not code, a grammatician’s eye would be twitching at this very moment.
As a code writer, you can allow this to filter through your brain in two ways. One-you can follow the tips outlined in this article (I personally believe it’s the hard way). Two-forget you even read it and use Ontolica to access and filter content quickly and easily in the interface. assign tags and filter by those (the easy way).
For specific information about using Ontolica with audiences, contact SurfRay at www.surfray.com.
