SAF Documentation Wiki

SAF is an open source framework developed by Collaboris along with contributors from the SharePoint community. SAF is a way to automate and repeat configuration changes in SharePoint using "Actions". These actions can then be grouped together as XML into a "Macro" and then run from a Feature, STSADM command, MSBuild Project or WCF Service (coming soon).

This wiki contains technical information to help you get started and work with SAF on your SharePoint implementations. However, it's not complete sp please bear with us while we play catch-up! In the meantime, if there is anything you need to know now, drop us a mail (or leave a comment) and we prioritise that topic for you.

One of the most important sections to help you get started is the Action Index which lists all of the Actions available along with samples on how to run it. Go to the Action Index. To view more complex examples, illustrating how to configure more than one action in a Macro please visit our Macro Examples page.
