Using the Document Menu Items and Item Status

The Document Menu Item integration and Item Status provides the "List Item" or third layer (four layers total) of socialization administration.

The List Item layer is designed to be controlled by individual contributors of the SharePoint site. This layer is used to control the socialization Activity Stream for each document item. The context menu for each individual document will contain the available actions (Disable Jive Activity Streams, Enable Jive Activity Streams, "Copy To" Jive Space, Project, or Group)



Note: Notice the initial icons to the left of each document.
  • The green Jive icon represents that the Activity Stream is active and enabled for the item.
  • The grayed out Jive icon represents that the Activity Stream has been disabled for the item (could be that a user clicked the "Disable Jive Activity Streams" as shown in the image above).
  • The Jive icon with the red line crossed through it represents that the Activity Stream has been blocked for the item. This is facilitated through the Administrative level as a Corporate Policy. For the "blocked" items above, the documents were created with a SOX SharePoint content type. Policy has been configured to "block" all documents based on this content type.
Here is another example of an item context menu. Since Activity Streams have been disabled, notice how the option to "Enable Jive Activity Streams" is presented. There is also an option to "Copy to Jive" (Space, Projects, or Groups). The "Copy To Jive" functionality ties into the fourth layer of socialization. There is a "Copy to Jive" workflow available as well (see Using the "Copy to Jive" Workflow for more details.)
Note: You can perform a Copy To Jive action as long as you have write access in the Jive place you're choosing as the destination. In other words, read access in SharePoint is all that's needed to perform a Copy To.
