QUESTION ABOUT Query Result Web Part presentation +1 Field

I'd be looking at a property of Web Part to look up Discussion Board through Query Result Web Part. Currently it displays 'Title' column of Discussion Board, and my caring requirement is presentation customization to hold double columns of 'Title'+'Updated Date'. How could I add one more field 'Updated Date' to display in addition to that preexisting 'Title' field?

Any procedural steps to realize how to add Filed to display in Query Result Web Part?

Infopath 2013 Maintain History thorugh Repeating Controls

$

Hi,

I have a Infopath form with 2 fields "Old Department " and "New Department ". On opening the form, Old Department field  will be auto populated (The value is coming from other infopath view). User will manually enter the new value to New Department field.

If user changes his department only once then i can put simple 2 text boxes to capture the change. But the user can change his department n number of times. So , I am thinking to put the 2 text box "New Dept" and "Old Dept" in repeating table.section.

I want Old Dept to be auto populate from previous view and user to manually enter New Dept field. If user changes his department further, then he will click "Insert Item" and again 2 text boxes will be shown (As per repeating section functionality). Now I want "New Dept" value to be automatically coming in Old Dept box,, so that user can enter again manually in New Dept box.

I will try to understand my problem with a screen shot.

If this is not possible without code then, is there any other way through which I can maintain history...

I do not necessarily need to show history in Infoapth.. I can keep this for internal reference within some where in SharePoint Form Library also..

Please help...

Workflow Actions

I have an issue here which I am not able to figure out. It will be great if someone can assist me.

I am trying to use the action "Set Field in Current Item" It is working for all my fields except one. I am able to select the problematic field in the drop down and assign a value to it. But when the workflow is executed i get a value of "Unknown". It is not populating the custom value I set in workflow designer. I tried giving various values and even tried renaming the field to see if it would work.

I have also reordered the actions to see if it might work, even that did not work.

Thanks!

Only first row of repeating table is populated

I am trying to cascading-populate a repeating table after a Customer is selected on a drop down of a 2013 Infopath form. I have a rule that sets a field in my repeating table whith the value of my secondary datasource. The problem is that only the first row is showing.

I know that this can be done if the data of the secondary data source is "dragged" to the InfoPath form as a Repeating table, the problem with this is that the data does not get saved in the form,so this last option doesn't work for me. Are there any ways to achieve this?

Note: the IP form is hosted in SharePoint 20013 Online.

Thank you

InfoPath 2013 error when adding new infoPath form

Hi

I have created an infoPath form and published it to a SharePoint 2013 site - form library (timerequest).  the form was saved and publish successfully. but when I try to add new document (form),  I got the error below and I hope someone can explain to me how each URL in the error is reported by either infoPath or SharePoint as I hope with that information i can trace where my problem is.

background:

SharePoint 2013 farm with 2 servers:  spserverfe1 and spserverapp1 (not load balancing)
web application URL is http://spserverfe1
All managed path site collection I created start with http://spserverfe1/sites/.....


The correct URL for the form library is http://spserverfe1/sites/spsite/InfoPath/Timerequest  (this showed correctly in the manifest file)

what I don't understand is when the error occurred,  the error URL showed both the app server spserverapp1 and the wfe serverspserverfe1

here is the error:

The following location is not accessible, because it is in a different site collection: http://spserverapp1/sites/spsite/InfoPath/timerequest/Forms/template.xsn?SaveLocation=http://spserverfe1/sites/spsite/InfoPath/timerequest/&Source=http://spserverfe1/sites/spsite/InfoPath/timerequest/Forms/AllItems.aspx&ClientInstalled=true&OpenIn=Browser&NoRedirect=true&XsnLocation=http://spserverapp1/sites/spsite/InfoPath/timerequest/Forms/template.xsn

Thanks in advance for your comments and advices

Cannot edit form in InfoPath when list was created in Visual Studio

I am using SharePoint 2013 Enterprise, InfoPath Designer 2013 and Visual Studio 2013.

When I create a list using the SharePoint UI, I can use the "Customize Form" button on the "Customize List" ribbon to customize the list form in InfoPath Designer and publishing the changes works just fine.

When I create the same list in Visual Studio and deploy it via a solution package, I can still use the "Customize Form" button to customize the list's form in InfoPath Designer, but publishing the changes won't work. The error message I receive reads:

The publish operation could not be completed. It cannot be determined if the form template was successfully published. Try publishing the form template again, or change the list settings to

Catastrophic failure

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks in Advance!

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to use Whereabouts list other than under Group Work Site.

When I create a site using Group Work Site template, it will automatically add Whereabouts as default list. I'd like to create the Whereabouts list in other site. Unfortunately the Whereabouts list couldn't be saved as template therefore I couldn't use it as template.

Anyone know anything about this Whereabouts list, or I can download similar template.

Infopath Crashing

$

0

Hello

I am attempting to display multiple records from an SQL table which is linked as a datasource in a repeating table. I have put a conditional rule on the repeating table to filter records where a common field value is the same as that entered in a text box above the table. 

Unfortunately when I Query for Data (rule attached to a button) the form crashes in preview mode. This is connected to the repeating table as the query works fine when the table is not present. There area a large number of records in the overall dataset but those being returned through the filter should only be 1-30. 

Not sure if the conditional formatting was the best option as new to infopath; is there a way I could filter the datasource itself based on the value of the text box or is there another way of getting the relevant rows to display?

e-card or alternative suggestion needed

I would like to set up something that would allow staff to send each other e-cards. Something simple where they can click a thumbnail > this would open up maybe a form that would contain the large image with text then they would enter their message and submit it to someone in the organization.

Is InfoPath my only option here? If it is too many clicks they will not use it.

Thank you.

SharePoint Workflow - Move Documents

$

Hi all

I am trying to move a document when a workflow is run, which physically moves a document from one document library to another. I am aware that this can be achieved by getting the workflow to copy list item and then delete from existing location. However, the problem with this is the version history is not maintained.

I have looked into alternative options like the Drop Off library, setting Content Organizer rules, and getting a workflow to feed a document into the Drop Off Library, however I get an error whenever the workflow is run.

Any ideas, how I could implement this, without code?! :-)

Thanks in advance

Editing a workflow in SPD

Hi,

I am having an issue with editing a workflow in SharePoint Designer. I created a workflow from the online interface (it is a simple approval workflow) and I wish to customize the task form and outcomes in SPD. The workflow does not appear in workflows in SPD and when I navigate to the list it is associated with, it simply opens up a browser window to the workflow settings online. Is there a way to edit/customize a workflow that was created online in SPD? I am avoiding creating the workflow in SPD to start since it gives me problems with the Visio graphic when I do that (if I create the workflow online, the Visio graphic is fine).

Thanks!

Is it possible using Office 2013/SharePoint and SharePoint Designer to create a confirmation on delete pop up.  I have a workflow that kicks off when a button in the menu is selected that deletes the currently highlighted document.  We would like to have a confirmation pop up form asking "do you really want to delete this or were you just @#$% around again". I wish, no it should say something like "Select Yes to delete this document"

Now there is a very good blog on how to do this in SharePoint 2010... http://blogs.sharepoint911.com/blogs/jennifer/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=50

But unfortunately step Five customizing the form cannot be done in 2013 document libraries, or I do not know how to

There must be a way to do this in 2013, any help doing so would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.  


Thanks in advance for your time. Steven
