Microsoft SharePoint
What can you do with SharePoint?
Microsoft SharePoint is a great tool for all of your document storage needs. You can move existing documents from your departmental drives or VolShare to SharePoint. This allows you and your team to access documents remotely, from any device, and without a VPN connection.
Now you are ready to switch to using SharePoint instead of your departmental Shared Drive or VolShare for document storage.
As we slow down for the holidays, this is a great time to do some document housekeeping! Here’s how:
- Go into your VolShare or departmental drive
- Review your documents
- Identify obsolete and outdated documents -- Decide if they can be purged/deleted
- Identify current and active documents -- Copy to SharePoint
- Do you have a records retention schedule that your department follows? Clean-up before you move!
Note: Be sure to verify that all documents moved successfully, before deleting. If you are transitioning from VolShare or a shared network drive, you will have to copy the documents and then delete from the original location.
Visit the UTHSC SharePoint website for more information.

Lean 6 Sigma
Now is a good time to clean your hard drive and cloud storage of unneeded files! Lean has an easy way of not only helping you organize files, but to help you stay organized in the future. It is called 5S.
5S is a Japanese method used for organizing things. The 5Ss are seiri, seiton, seisō, seiketsu and shitsuke. These have been translated into:
- Sort: Sort through your files and remove anything unnecessary. Start looking at documents on your hard drive and cloud storage. Start with the oldest files. Do you still need that file from 2014 about a process you no longer use? No? Delete it. Unsure as to whether you will need something or not? Back it up then delete.
- Set in Order: Put all necessary items in the optimal place.Use your folders to help you keep files organized so you can find them. Give the folders easy to identify names so you know exactly what is in each folder.
- Shine: Sweep, clean, and inspect your file storage on a regular basis.Set aside a regular time (weekly, biweekly, or monthly) to look through your hard drive and cloud storage for items that can be deleted. Once you make the initial run through, it should be quick and easy to “shine.”
- Standardize: Establish procedures and schedules to ensure repetition of the first three “S”s. Standardize the way you store files. Use OneDrive to store your working documents “not ready to share” and use SharePoint to store documents that should be shared with other team members.
- Sustain: Ensure the 5S approach is followed. Sustaining change is often the hardest part. After you decide on a schedule, mark the time on your Outlook calendar. Don’t know how to do that? Contact the Helpdesk at helpdesk@uthsc.edu.

COVID Vaccine Scams Increased
The Federal Trade Commission, the FBI and the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General have been issuing alerts about the increase in coronavirus fraud as consumer and government agencies ramp up their efforts to protect the public from predators looking to make money off people’s fears about getting the virus. Scammers aren’t just using email or telemarketing calls. They are also coming at people via messages on social media platforms, and they’re even performing door-to-door visits, HHS says. Here is what you need to know to avoid a coronavirus-vaccine-related scam:
- Be skeptical of offers to pay for a vaccine on your behalf. Because the coronavirus is a public health emergency, it’s unlikely you will have to pay for the vaccine, and you should also beware of scammers claiming to be medical professionals and demanding payment for treating a friend or relative for COVID-19.
- No, you can’t pay to get your name on a list to get the coronavirus vaccine, so don’t fall for scammers’ promises about getting early access.
- No, that’s not a government official calling you about getting vaccinated., and no one from a vaccine distribution site or health care payer, like a private insurance company, will call you asking for your Social Security number or your credit card or bank account information to sign you up to get the vaccine.
- Watch out for offers of alternative cures for the coronavirus, and while waiting for a vaccine, don’t get so impatient that you become a victim of a scam – if you’re concerned about when you can get vaccinated, check with your health-care provider.
Stay safe everyone and continue to #BeCyberSmart
