Today the TMG Sydney User Group had a workshop on ‘What to do when someone asks you to send them information’. I am calling it a workshop because it was more of a discussion than the usual presentation with one person doing all the talking at the front.
Rather than use a whiteboard to record all the ideas that the group came up with I used PowerPoint,and typed in the responses as we went along. I can now publish the slides so that everyone has a record of what we came up with.
Topics of discussion were:
- What do you ask when you get a request?
- How do you decide whether to comply?
- What do you share?
- What format do you send?
- How do you ask them for more information?
Here are the slides:
After this discussion we looked at how to extract data or reports on TMG, and I can’t reproduce that here.
Really liked the way this was done & it is a question that we all face. Thanks Shauna

So sorry I couldn’t be there but Salt Lake city was calling.
Thanks for sharing the slides. I am stuck in a beginner level session here at Rootstech so I can learn from you right here via your slides.
Must say it was disappointing that TMG don’t have a rep here at Rootstech. Most of the other software vendors, big and small, are here.

This is food for thought. Before it actually happens, there’s not much consideration given to sending someone your hard-earned research information, but you’ve made it clear there is a lot to decide before you send anyone anything.
