Ribbon Groups A Ribbon group is delivered for each web part that supports the SharePoint and SharePoint Foundation Server Ribbon UI. The contextual group contains the “Commands” contextual tab for the web part on the page, which in turn, contains different Ribbon groups. When you select a web part, you can access such functions as ezEdit and Help. NOTE: To hide the Ribbon, enable the corresponding property in the Configuration Editor. When multiple web parts are added to the page, different Ribbon tabs are added in the order of the web part appearance on the page. Each tab’s name defaults to the Title property of the web part. The display name of the tab can be changed using the web part property, Ribbon Appearance. This property allows you to customize the display name for the tab. If this property is filled out, it overrides the web part's Title property. If both of these properties are empty, the default name, “Commands”, is used. The web part’s ribbon may consists of one or more of the following groups: Table 1. Ribbon Groups Group Description Manage Group Contains the buttons: “Save and Close”, “Edit Item”, “Edit Series”, and “Cancel” depending on the context. For example, if you are working with a form of type EditListItem, the group will contain the “Save and Close” button. If the form type is DisplayListItem or DisplayDocument, and you are working with a Calendar list, the button is “Edit Series”. The text for Save and Cancel buttons can be changed by using the Toolbar Appearance tab. Actions Group Contains a set of action buttons seen in the regular toolbar, The Ribbon organizes the actions into different groups. In general, any button shown in the toolbar and not in the “Manage” or “Custom Actions” groups is found in the “Actions” group. This includes “Alert Me”, “Manage Permissions”, or “Manage Copies”. Custom Actions Group Contains a set of custom actions defined in the Custom Actions properties. Setting & Help Group Contains buttons from the web part context menu: “ezEdit”, “Help” and “About”.
