SharePoint 2010 Cascading Drop downs for Lists
This is the best example and method of implementing a cascading drop down/filtered lookup I’ve found that doesn’t make you add JavaScript or some 3rd party tool. I also found a blog that shows you how to modify an infopath form in a document library. I’m not sure if it works, but it’s worth trying before you go down the other paths.

Interesting approach to assemble documents using document sets and some custom code
This solution allows users work on their own section of a presentation and assemble the final presentation automatically. I couldn’t see using this for a one-off presentation, but if this is a repeatable process at your company it could help.

How to make an “Announcement List” timely.
Problem:
The team that updates the Company Announcements loves the fact that they can expire announcements, but they would like the same concept to apply when content is added. Today announcements are immediately posted to the site using the out-of-the-box announcement list. The team would really like to queue up most of the announcements for the month and have them show up when a specified date occurs.
Solution:
Modify the existing announcement list to allow an “Effective Date” to be entered for each announcement and update the view to show announcements that are on or after the effective date.
Steps:
Open SP Designer and navigate to you Announcement list. Mine is named “Company Announcements”.
Click “Edit List Columns”
Click “Add New Column” then select “Date & Time”
Name your new column. Mines is called “Effective Date”. I also unchecked “Allow Blank Values” option since my view will expect a “Effective Date” to be present.
Click “Save” and now navigate to your page that displays your announcement list. My is called announcements.aspx. It’s just a blank web part page that has the summary view of the announcement list displayed on it.
Click “Edit file”
Click “Filter” at the top left
Click “Click here to add a new clause…” and add the ”Effective Date” criteria shown below.
Click “Save” to see your results. I have already added some announcements that have an ”Effective Date” before and after today. I’m seeing the announcements I expect to see.
Go ahead and view your web page from the browser and that’s it.
