Topic 1, Trey Research
Background
You develop an intranet portal for Trey Research. End users of the portal are researchers and office staff.
Business Requirements
All end users must be able to customize their profile with relevant information. Researchers must store research papers, upload supporting documents, and search content.
Storage
The portal must use an existing Microsoft SQL Server database to access and store work profile information and research papers.

- Researchers must search content from SharePoint and external systems.
- Researchers must manage a research topic and related content as a single entity.
User Profile
- Employees must be able to customize their profile.
- Administrators must be able to create new profile properties.
Technical Requirements
Data Store
The data model for the database entities is shown below:
Users must not be allowed to update the Employees.Username and ResearchPapers.ID fields.
The fields uniquely distinguish the corresponding entity.
Access External Data
-
You must create an external content type named TreyResearch to access the SQL data source.
During development, the data source will be accessible locally.
- You must develop an app to access the fields named Employee Name and Research Paper Title.
- Researchers must be able to find all research papers that are written by a particular employee.
- A research paper always must be associated with the employee that wrote it.
Document Management
