Help sought customizing a SP 2010 custom list template

I am forced to use InfoPath 2010 to edit and then publish the form for a custom list, due to problems that SP 2010 has displaying a set of lookup columns on the form.
Now that I have made the initial change, there are some other customizations that the users would like.
I have a source list for a look up column.
The source list has:
Department number - ie 27
Department name - ie Standards
Department division - ie Technical
as individual columns.
The current column is defined to use Department name. The users have asked if the dropdown could instead display the data as:
D27 - Standards - Technical
When I tried to create a calculated column that concatenated all of those on the source list, I found myself unable to submit new items for the list - SharePoint kept reporting that I needed a positive integer as a selection value for the dropdown.
Ideally what I want is the department number as the value for the dropdown, but the concatenated parts to be used as the display value of the lookup.
I have not been able to figure out how to do that.
Is there something simple that I am missing? When I look at the property of the dropdown, there isn't a way to add a formula to the display name of the data source/entries portion of the properties.

So after some work, I changed the number column to a text column in the list.
The control for selecting information on that control is not working properly now.
It is a drop down listbox control.
Its properties are:
cannot be blank
get choices from an external data source
data source is my sharepoint list that contains department number (text field now), department name, division name
entries is set to myFields->dataFields->d:SharePointListItem_RW - that is how it came out of the box, so I am assuming that it is correct
Value is set to d:SharePointListItem_RW->Department Number
Display name is set to d:SharePointListITem_RW->Department Name
When I attempt to use the form, the control is populated with the department names.
However, the last entry of the list is selected. Normally there would be nothing selected.
Even worse, if I select something else in the control, something causes the last entry in the list to be selected.
I don't know why something is causing a different item to be selected. There are no rules set on this form as far as I am aware.

  • Custom list templates not deployed

    Hi everyone,
    Today I came across a wierd issue while creating some lists in SP 2010 programmatically.
    I created a few lists schema, list templates and list instances declaratively.
    I deployed my package and everything seems to work as expected so far.
    I activated my custom feature where (intentionally) I put some C# codes to create a list instance based on one of my deployed list template.
    At first, i.e last week, creating this list instance programmatically worked well.
    So are those I deployed. 
    Today, the creation failed because the list template identified by its list-template ID does not exist.
    Wierd ! I checked the package, all elements, all list template, all IDs, all 14-hive files, ... everything was OK. No packaging errors found.
    Each time I deploy these list templates, they don't even appear in the silverlight-based list-creation popup.
    They don't even appear in the "SP Manager" tool.
    All my custom lists that was instantiated by SP (using declarative list instance), are well created,
    but they don't have their respective custom logo.
    And obviously, all its settings (within list template's XML file) was not applied.
    It's the first time I met this kind of problem.
    I even remove my content database, but the problem remains unchanged.
    Does anyone have any idea of what's wrong with my list templates, or even with SP ?
    Any idea to fix it ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Okavango93
    PS : In my WSP solution, I associate one list template element to three features, so I cannot set the attribute FeatureId to the list template.

    Hi,
    No answer so far ?
    I tore my hair out enough since a week, but finally I find out why.
    I fix today my list template issue by setting the feature attribute RequireResouces to false.
    If not, all element inside that feature will be hidden from the UI, and so will be the feature ... even if
    Hidden attribute equals to false and even if in any SP tools the feature seems to be there.
    Hope this help !

  • How to custom edit SharePoint 2010 site without SPD2010 / Visual Studio enabled

    Hi All,
    my company completely disabled custom editing SharePoint 2010 sites. Editing now only available through the web.
    A little tweak like filtering datasheet list view based on user group membership is impossible now.
    Original solution was to replace code part in SPD like:
    <Where>
    <Or>
    <Membership Type="CurrentUserGroups">
    <FieldRef Name="REPLACEME"/>
    </Membership>
    <Eq>
    <FieldRef Name="REPLACEME"/>
    <Value Type="Integer">
    <UserID Type="Integer"/>
    </Value>
    </Eq>
    </Or>
    </Where>
    Source: http://www.hornerit.com/2009/07/filtering-by-group-in-sharepoint-person.html
    Can I still make some workaround to solve this problem, or I should go back to good old days using spreadsheets / folders / mailbox instead of SharePoint websites?
    Thanks!

    I have found this link to filter data based on group member using jquery. This could be helpful in your case:

  • Custom SharePoint Designer 2010 Workflows "Failed on Start"

    Good morning everyone!
    I have created a library using a custom Document Sets based content type that allows an additional custom Document based content type. I add a Document Set approval workflow using SharePoint Designer, but it constantly fails to start with these results:
    Event Type
    User ID
    Description
    Workflow Cancelled
    System Account
    Workflow [Workflow Name] was cancelled by System Account
    Error
    System Account
    [Workflow Name] failed to start
    I decided to test an OOTB workflow on the library to see if it would work and it did! An OOTB Approval Workflow functioned as expected. Also, other custom workflows on the site collection are running normally.
    I've looked around for fixes, but haven't quite seen this exact scenario, so I figured I'd check here first before I started messing around with anything else.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Toni Marie

    Hi Toni,
    According to your description, my understanding is that only the custom workflow containing "Start Document Set approval process" could not get be started.
    Whether you tried to create a new workflow only containing "Start Approval Process" action via SharePoint Deisgner 2010. If not, please test again, compare the result.
    Please create a new library, and add the document set into this library, then enable content approval for this library in library advanced settings. After that, re-create a new workflow only containing "Start Document Set Approval process" action,
    compare the result.
    Please test with another user, compare the result.
    In addition, please check whether SharePoint 2007 Workflow feature and Workflow feature are enabled. If yes, please disable and re-enable them. If not, please enable them.
    There is a similar post, please check if it is useful for you:

  • How to have SharePoint search custom columns in a custom list?

    Hello,
    How can have SharePoint search custom columns in a custom list?  I have a custom list for a directory with names, department, title and phone numbers.  Department and titles are not searchable with the search box for the list.
    How can I make these 2 custom columns searchable?
    Thanks
    Paul

    Any text added to any property is searchable. If you have a Sales department search for "sales", but I think you are asking about doing a property search like "department=sales" or "department:sales".
    2013 has a different way than 2007 and 2010 to create Managed Properties. You will need to create a Site Column and then a little configuration. The basic steps are:
    Create a Site Column (as SP already has a Department column you will want to create one with a difference name such as CorpDept.)
    Add the column to a list or library and add data. (won't be found otherwise)
    Wait for the next content crawl. (or manually start a crawl)
    Go to the tier where you want to define the managed property and go to the Schema page:
    Central Admin, Search Service, Schema
    your site, Settings (gear), Site Settings, Search Schema (in the Site Collection Admin section)
    your site, Settings (gear), Site Settings, Schema (in the Search section)
    Click Managed Properties and search for your column name. It might look like this: ows_q_TEXT_CorpDept.
    Edit the Managed Property and give it a useful Alias, such as "CorpDept".
    Test the search:    CorpDept:Sales
    Do a web search for "SharePoint 2013 Site Column Managed Properties" for examples.

    Sort of depend on what you are trying to do precisely. In Edit mode, if you tap on any label, you will be given a list of options, plus an Add Custom Label option near the bottom of the list

    I've been trying to find a way to do this since I updated to IOS 7, and I've just found the solution/explanation, even tho is a bit heavy to carry out.
    IOS 6 creates custom labels and save them giving you the option to delete them.
    IOS 7 creates custom labels but don't save them, so there is no need to have the option to delete them.
    But here comes the problem, if you have some custom labes saved in you Iphone / Ipad with IOS 6 and you update it to IOS 7, the device will keep those labels saved, but you wont be able to delete them.
    I realized this by going to contacts on Icloud. There those labels that I had on my devices weren't there. So simply restoring your device and configuring it as a new one to later sync your Icloud Contacts, will solve the problem.
    I know this post is old, but I might just try this with iOS 8. I have outdated custom labels that annoy me, because I still seem them in the list as options. If I get desperate enough, I may try your solution.

  • Adding a custom meta data field which lists out content id based on query

    How can we add a custom meta data filed which lists out content id based on query like dDocType <matches> `AssociatedProduct`?
    Or other alternative would be to have a custom metadata field such that it allows selection of content id using link wizard which we typically use in site studio. It would be preferable to have this second option as it is user friendly. Can we do this on a check-in screen?

  • S_ALR_87012176 - AR,  Customer Evaluation with OI Sorted List

    Hi,
    Can someone tell how to read S_ALR_87012176 - Customer Evaluation with OI Sorted List in AR. What do the old, ovd and omt mean.
    Thanks,
    Ram

    This is a standard report.
    Enter the Customer range and Company Code.
    You can change the open item at key date forward, back or keep it as today.
    You then need to make any other selections.
    In terms of the output it is determined by the summarization levels. use the Information icon "I" to see the settings.
    Lastly you can change the bucket view by changing the days overdue groupings.
    Here is the information:
    The program displays the following payment history information:
    Sales figures such as annual sales and authorized deductions. This data is available in the system and only issued by this program.
    Information on whether the customer is a net payer or a cash discount payer. This information is displayed in the field "Type".
    The type of payer is determined by means of the payment volume:
    A net payer is a customer who usually exhausts the payment term and does not take any cash discounts.
    A cash discount payer is a customer who usually makes use of the cash discount deduction.
    Days in arrears. The average days in arrears are determined as follows:
    For each of the last five periods in which payments took place, the payment amount from each period is multiplied by the average days in arrears from each period. The results are added together and then divided by the total of the payments from the periods.
    The days in arrears are thus weighted with the payment amount.
    Last payment period. The period and the year (for example, 5 93) are displayed.
    In addition to analyzing payment history, this program evaluates customer open items. It structures the items it selects using a time schedule that you can define as you like, and displays them according to business area.
    The criteria you can choose for this analysis are as follows:
    Aging schedule for open items by due date for net payment
    Displayed next to "Net"
    Calculation: Due date for net payment - key date
    Due date forecast using the first cash discount days
    Displayed next to "Dsc"
    Calculation: Baseline date for payment + cash discount days 1 - key                                                                   date
    Probability of payment based on the weighted incoming payments in the past
    Displayed next to "Pay"
    Calculation: Baseline date for pmnt + cash disc.days 1 + average days                                                            in arrears
    Days overdue of items that are due
    Displayed next to "Ovd"
    Calculation: Key date - due date for net payment
    Examples of the open item analysis
    The item used in these examples contains the following data:
    Document date   04/01/1992
    Baseline date for payment   04/05/1992
    Terms of payment   8 days 5% / 14 days 2% / 21 days net
    Key date   04/15/1992
    The due date for net payment of this item is determined as follows:
    Baseline date for payment + net days
    The sorted list for this item would appear as follows:
    The (*) indicates in which column in the sorted list the item would appear for the different evaluations.
    Due date for net payment
    Due date for net payment - key date = number of days until the due                                        date for net payment
    04/26                    - 04/15    = 11 days

    Explanation of column 1:
    Items displayed in this column are open but not yet due.
    Explanation of column 6:
    Items displayed here have been overdue for 41 or more days.
    Note
    The analysis types "Net", "Dsc", "Pay" are a future time frame for forecasting incoming payments. "Ovd" is the time frame for the past for analyzing overdue items.
    To estimate the probability of incoming payments, you should always request a sorted list by due date, cash discount days 1, and incoming payments forecast. Normally, the cash discount days 1 due date shows the earliest incoming payment, the latest due date and for the forecast of incoming payments the probable time of the incoming payment.

  • OWC PS5 - Content Presenter - Search functionality in custom list template

    We have created a custom list template for displaying the contents and use this custom list template in the content presenter task flow.
    We would need to implement Search functionality in the custom template.
    Any pointers on how to achieve this?
    Thanks,
    Navaneeth

    Sorry to see that this post hasn't had a response from the search team for so long.
    1 Search will not find content in portlets (for instance page portlets).
    That is correct. The content of portlets may be different for each user so indexing this content can provide misleading results. However, if you only need to index public content, Oracle Ultrasearch can be used to index all portal content, including that displayed through portlets.
    2 If Search Results Type in a custom search portlet is set to Pages, the search will be made in page display name, page keywords and page description. It will not search for item content.
    Searching for pages checks the following pieces of metadata:
    page name & display name
    keywords
    description
    all custom text attributes associated with the page type
    all custom url attributes associated with the page type
    all custom file attributes associated with the page type
    Items will not be searched but again, its possible to index the entire page using Ultrasearch.
    3 It is not possible to search for items but get found item's page links as results.
    This is incorrect. The custom search portlet allows the administrator to select the attributes that should be displayed from the search portlet's "edit-defaults" screens. From here, its possible to select the "page" attribute to be displayed with the search results. This means that you can search for items and then click on a link to go to the page on which the item resides.
    Various improvements have been made for 9.0.4, including better control over the display of page results.

  • Is there anyone who can help me to contact the apple customer service? Because i want to know why they are diducted mt credit card more than the amount which is written on there apple store price? They are taken more!

    Why the apple store taken more amount more than the amount written on their prices? Is there any one who can help me to contact the apple customer services. Thanks!

    Some country's might not include tax in their prices, and if you changed or added your credit card details whilst making the purchase then a small temporary holding charge may also have been placed - in which case that should disappear within a few days (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702). Some apps also then allow you to make in-app purchases (though you can disable that via Settings > General > Restrictions)

  • Is there any way to report on Custom Object 3 other than lists?

    Looks like the answer is no but just wondering if anyone has come up with a brilliant work around. I guess the only chance is with Web Services, or is Custom Object 3 the red headed step child there as well?
    I read in an earlier thread that R15 fix/patch may enable the ablity to report in analytics OD on the Custom Objects, any idea if Custom Object 3 will be included?
    I wish the documentation pointed this out somewhere! It would have been nice to know before I created the Objects funtionality!
    Live and learn...
    Dan D

    It is my understanding that the patch will be applied automatically for all customers. The patch will enable reporting on custom Objects 1, 2 & 3 and will have subject areas for Custom Object, Custom Object & Account, Custom Object & Opportunity, Custom Object & Contact, and Custom Object & Service Request.
    (That is 5 subject areas per custom object for a total of 15 new subject areas!)

  • Custom List Template - Adding a substitution string

    Hi all,
    I have created a List template by copying an existing list template.
    I want to have a substitution string so that I can assign a different identification to the list itself each time I use the list template.
    <ul id="#SOME_SUBSTITUTION_STRING#">
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
    </ul>The #A01# - #A10# seems to be applied only on list items. I cannot find a way to have such a substitution string that can be applied to the unordered list tag.
    Would anyone know of a way to do that? I'm using Apex 3.1
    Thanks,
    Raihaan

    The reason I want to be able to specify the id of the unordered list is that I have a javascript function using the id to build the rest of the list dynamically.
    But if that's not possible, I will have to hardcode the "id" in the template and have a different template everytime I want to implement a list having the same characteristics.
    Thanks,
    Raihaan

    and the Open with Access button will work.
