3grow & Humanitix | Change for Good
During some quiet time over the last year or so, we’ve been considering what more we can do to enact positive change as a business.
3grow are delighted to have switched our public course ticketing platform over to Humanitix.
When you register for any of our public SharePoint, Power Apps, Power Automate, or other Office 365 courses, 100% of the booking fee goes to charity!
3grow absorb the booking fee, so our customers enjoy the same competitive pricing they always have.
This is just the first small step, so stay tuned for more updates coming soon.

We now have our full range of in-person public courses scheduled around Australia and New Zealand

Help us Choose the Recipients of our Xmas Charity Donations
| Merry Xmas and Happy New Year Well, it’s certainly been an interesting year! I’m not going to dwell on the myriad reasons why that’s been the case – we all know what’s been happening in Australia and around the world. What I would like to say, though, is that we’re very grateful to all of our customers who have supported us this year. We appreciate it’s been tough for the majority of organisations, but thankfully many have seen the benefits of upskilling their staff in these challenging times. This year, rather than sending token gifts to our key customers in order to show our appreciation, we’re making a couple of charitable donations – and we want you to help us choose who receives our donations. If you would like to provide your input, please use the form below to pick your preference. The charity which comes out on top will receive $500, with 2nd place receiving $250. |
*VIDEO* Driving End User Adoption with Microsoft Teams
If something positive has come out of this pandemic, it’s proving that your team can work remotely effectively, using the tools your organisation is already paying for through their Microsoft 365 subscription.
But working effectively requires participation, and participation is achieved through effective user adoption.
During this webinar, we presented some invaluable tips and tricks to ensure the tools you have at your disposal are being adopted at the best possible rate, and that those tools are used for their intended purpose, with a focus on Microsoft Teams.

*VIDEO* M365 May: Content Types Are Not Dead!
Contrary to the belief of some, content types still serve a vital role in defining the information architecture of your SharePoint environment. If you don’t believe me, watch this video and I’ll happily convince you!
During this session, delivered as part of Microsoft 365 May, we discussed all things content types, including the many benefits of implementing a logically thought-out structure and content type best practices, as well as taking a look at the modern Content Type Gallery and Managed Metadata interface… there might even be some clever little tricks in store for you too!
You can watch the video below, and access the presentation slides here. I’d also recommend checking out some of the 130+ sessions which were delivered throughout the month.
M365 May – Australia & NZ
With over 110 sessions delivered remotely throughout the month of May, M365 May ANZ is looking likely to be an amazing FREE event – or month-long series of little events.
Administrators, power-users, product owners, communicators, end-users, architects, developers, and other professionals that work with Microsoft Collaboration or Cloud Technologies will meet online to share the latest information regarding working with Microsoft 365 technologies such as SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Yammer, the Power Platform, Endpoint Manager, and many others.
The event is a free community-focused event dedicated to educate and engage members of the local technical community. This event draws upon the expertise of Australian and New Zealand IT and business professionals, users of technology, developers and solution architects who come together to share their real-world experiences, lessons learned, best practices, and general knowledge with other like-minded individuals​​.
Our Managing Director, Russ Norton, will be running a session entitled Content Types are not Dead! at 11:15am on Monday 25th May, where we’ll discuss the on-going benefits of Content Types and Managed Metadata in SharePoint, as well as checking out the modern admin centres for both.
The full schedule is now live, so check it out, and register via the M365 May website to receive updates.

*VIDEO* Hide SharePoint List & Library Columns Using Permissions
A question we often get asked on our SharePoint courses, is “How do I restrict user permissions to certain columns of a list?”
Within this video, we will first determine that (at the time of publishing this video) there’s technically no out-of-the-box option to hide certain columns – we can easily set permissions at a document or list item level (although that’s only recommended in unique scenarios), however not at the column level.
We will then demonstrate a clever trick which sees us to split sensitive information into a separate list, which is then locked down to a specific set of users. The lists are then linked via a lookup column, allowing the entire team only visibility of the core list, but the Site Owners can view the sensitive information AND the core information within the second list.
To finish the demo, we will then use audience targeting to hide navigation link to the core list from the Site Owners, so that they don’t also see the unnecessary core list in the Quick Launch Bar. There’s no need to hide the second list’s link from the rest of the team – security trimming will do it’s job here, as it will hide links to any lists or libraries to which the current user has no permissions.
If you have any questions, or requests for further videos, please feel free to get in touch.
Thanks for watching!
*VIDEO* Change the SharePoint Site Members Group from ‘Edit’ to ‘Contribute’
Since 2013, the default SharePoint Site Members permissions group has had the ‘Edit’ permission level assigned, rather than ‘Contribute’, as it was prior to SharePoint 2013.
‘Edit’ not only allows users to manage the content within the site’s lists and libraries, but also create, edit and delete the lists and libraries themselves. Since most organisations don’t provide comprehensive training to their end users, it’s often not advisable to empower them with such permissions, as this could result in new lists and libraries which don’t meet your governance requirements, or valuable lists and libraries being deleted, therefore negatively impacting efficiency.
In this video, we’ll see how to change the permission level associated with the Site Members group of a standard (non-group connected) Team Site, and also Office 365 Group-connected Team Sites in SharePoint Online.
Please feel free to get in touch with any suggestions of other videos you’d like to see, or if you have any questions.
Make the most of your time when working from home
For the safety and well-being of our customers and trainers during the current global COVID-19 pandemic, we have cancelled all in-person classroom courses until at least the end of May. These have been replaced by remotely delivered online courses, so the learning doesn’t have to stop.
Our online courses are still delivered by a live instructor (rather than pre-recorded), and aim to mimic classroom training as much as possible:
With so many people now working from home, the Office 365 tools, which are designed to promote remote working, are more important than ever.
To assist customers in ensuring their staff have the knowledge required to ensure productivity during this difficult time, we’re offering a 20% discount on any ‘Online Course’ booking made before 30 April 2020 (5pm AEST).
To find out more, or to take advantage of this offer by making a booking, contact us on learn@3grow.net and quote the discount code, or enter it at the checkout on our Eventbrite listings – WFH20
Included in all public online courses, we provide:
* Expert instructors
* Comprehensive course materials
* Small class sizes
* Plenty of hands-on labs
* Post-course email, telephone and Yammer support
* FREE re-sits for up to 10 months!
From the date you first attend the course, you can attend the same course as often as you like over the next 10 months*, and receive the same great training experience. Your re-sits also be used to attend in-person classroom courses, which will be scheduled once it is safe and appropriate to do so.
