SharePoint RichText Boost provides an additional toolbar for SharePoint RichText editor. It extends the functions of default SharePoint RichText editor without replacing SharePoint RichText editor or creating a new column type. These new functions include:

Increase/decrease size of SharePoint RichText editor area without posting back. By default, users can't adjust the size of SharePoint RichText editor area when editing an item; it is inconvenient when users want to input large text or insert large images or tables etc. With SharePoint RichText Boost toolbar, users can freely increase/decrease height/width of the SharePoint RichText editor area. These operations are completed on the client side without posting back to server.

Upload and insert images as item attachments with SharePoint RichText editor. With default SharePoint RichText Editor, user must input a full URL when inserting an image. If to insert images into SharePoint RichText editor as attachments of the editing item, you may save-open the item many times for inserting images to RichText editor, which is inconvenient. With SharePoint RichText Boost, you can click "insert attached image" button on the additional toolbar and a dialog popup. Then you can upload image files in this dialog, and the image files will be saved as the attachments of the item. Finally you can select any attachment and insert it into SharePoint RichText editor.

Upload and insert flashes as attachments with SharePoint RichText editor. Currently it is impossible for user to directly insert a flash into RichText editor and show the flash when display the item, but with SharePoint RichText Boost toolbar, you can insert and display flash conveniently as inserting and displaying image with SharePoint RichText Editor. After you insert flashes and save the item, you can see the flash running at everywhere the item is displayed, for example, display form, list view, web part etc.

Upload and insert files as hyperlink in SharePoint Rich Text editor area. Often you may want to insert many attachments to the item and display them in a Rich Text area, for example, you’d like attach a document to a wiki page and other people can click the link to download or open it. With default SharePoint Rich Text Editor, you should upload the documents and save the item, then reopen the item, finally copy the URL to the Rich Text Editor, which is so inconvenient. With SharePoint RichText Boost, you can click “insert attached hyperlink” button on the additional toolbar and a dialog popup. Then you can upload files,and the files will be saved as the attachments of the item, while the hyperlink with document icon (if selected) will be added into the Rich Text Editor directly.

Make sure to read the purchase FAQ below before you buy this product.

Site Collection License

Farm License

Purchase FAQ:

• What is the difference between a Site Collection License and a Farm License, and which type of license should I choose?
  • A Site Collection License is applied to a specific Site Collection and refers the number of end-users on that ONE Site Collection. A Farm License refers the amount of end-users the LARGEST Site Collection within a particular Farm.
  • A Site Collection License is better if you only have one Site Collection and your Site Collection ID is unlikely to change frequently (your Site Collection ID will change if you reinstall SharePoint or transplant your SharePoint data from one server to another). If your Site Collection ID changes, contact our sales team for assistance.
  • A Farm License is better if you would like to install a SharePointBoost product on multiple Site Collections or if your Site Collection ID frequently changes.
  • If you are still unsure as to which license type is best for you, please email sales@sharepointboost.com for assistance.
• What are "end-users" and how do they affect my license size? How do I find how many end-users I have on my Site Collection / Farm?
  • Our software uses the standard established method by Microsoft to determine the amount of end-users in a Site Collection or Farm. An end-user is defined as any user who has been authorized to access any site in your Site Collection or Farm. If they have access to your site, they are counted as an end-user.
  • Before purchasing a license, please think carefully about how many people will need to access your site (meaning any part of it) and delete any users that no longer require access in SharePoint. To find the number of end-users you have in a Site Collection or Farm, please check the license management page (this will appear after you install the trial version of our software on your SharePoint servers), or download and run the free End User Viewer Tool available here: http://www.sharepointboost.com/end-user-viewer-tool.html. The End User Viewer Tool can also be used to delete inactive user accounts.
  • Our licenses increase in increments of 100 users. This means that if there are 155 people who need to access your site, you will need to purchase a 200 end-user license.
• What will happen if I add another server to a Site Collection / Farm? How will this affect my license?
  • If you add new servers to an already existing Site Collection or Farm, your license will still be valid as long as the number of end-users does not exceed the number allowed by your license (e.g. if you purchase a 200 end-user Site Collection License, your license will always be valid for 200 or fewer users regardless of the number of servers).
• If the current end-user number exceeds the end-user number allowed by my Site Collection License / Farm License, what will happen?
  • If the current end-user amount exceeds the amount of end-users allowed by your license, the original functions and settings of the software will NOT be influenced until you change them (e.g. additions, deletions, modifications, etc.) At that time, you need to upgrade your license by contacting sales@sharepointboost.com. Note that upgrades will incur additional fees equal to the price difference between the old and new licenses. For example, if you purchased a 200 end-user license for $399 and you want to upgrade to a 300 end-user license with a list price of $449, you only need to pay for the difference in prices (in this case $50).
• Which payment methods does SharePointBoost allow?
  • PayPal:
  • The preferred method of payment is PayPal. You can either purchase SharePointBoost products via PayPal account or via credit card. If you would like to purchase a Farm license or a Site Collection license where the total number of end-users is greater than 900, we will generate a PayPal purchase link and send it to you in an email (paying via purchase link does not require that you have a PayPal account).
  • Secure Purchase Link:
  • If purchasing our products through PayPal is not possible for you, then you may contact sales@sharepointboost.com to get a secure purchase link generated and then emailed to you. Here you may pay with a credit card online, by phone, or by fax.
  • Bank Transfer:
  • If purchasing our products through PayPal or via a secure purchase link is not possible for you, then you may contact us to get bank information for a wire transfer. Note that you are responsible for any bank transfer fees.
  • If you do not specify one currency from USD, HKD, JPY, or EUR, we will take USD as the default payment currency.
  • SHAREPOINTBOOST DOES NOT ACCEPT CORPORATE OR PERSONAL CHECKS. PLEASE USE PAYPAL, SECURE PURCHASE LINK OR BANK TRANSFER TO PURCHASE OUR PRODUCTS.
• How can I find my Site Collection ID or Farm ID?
  • To find your Site Collection ID or Farm ID, please check the license management page (this will be accessible via a license management link that will appear after you install the trial version of our software on your SharePoint servers), or download and install the free License Management Center Application here: http://www.sharepointboost.com/licensecenter.html.
• What is SharePointBoost’s refund policy?
  • A request for a refund will only be granted if it is received BEFORE the license code has been sent.
• Does SharePointBoost offer a discount for non-profit organizations, government agencies, or educational institutions?
  • If you can provide proof that your organization is a registered non-profit, you will be eligible for a 15% discount. Contact your government to request a certificate verifying your not-for-profit status if you have not already done so.
