Is there a way to use SPD workflow to enhance the alert function in a SharePoint list?

I have a request to achieve this:
the Alert function in a list only allows a user to get alert when anything changes or created, but there is no way to specify notification before a certain field date. For Example, users want to be able to choose to receive a reminder
10 days before expiry date.
The requirement:
1) A user can set a reminder if they wish - so cannot be systematic automatic reminder
2) A user can choose how many days before expiry to receive reminder
I tried workflow by adding additional columns to set the user name to receive reminder and # of days before expiry day to send reminder. But that setting can only apply to one user at time, and the user has to set one item at time, e.g. if user A sets
5 days prior for the reminder on an item. then user B changed it to 4 days, then user A's setting if overwritten.
So this is really a customization of the alert function, but wonder if it can be achieved by workflow created in SPD (or NinTex?)
Thanks in Advance for any tips!

One option i can think of is, you can set the Create and Edit access: in Advanced Setting from List setting to Create items and edit items that were created by the user, so that other users can't override the items created by other
users.

TS4036 I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

Is There a way of using an alt key on the iphone (to so alt characters)

Is There a way of using an alt key on the iphone (to so alt characters)??
Cheers all.

There is no alt key, so no, but there are a lot of preloaded symbols already on the phone, all you have to do is hold a key and extra options will come up. For example, if you want an accent over a, hold a, and it will give you options for it. This also works with the symbols, for example, the $ symbol can be held to provide the money symbol for euros, yens, pounds, etc.

Is there a way to select multiple files and initiate the Capitalize function?

I have hundreds of files all in upper case that are driving me crazy. I can select them one at a time, right click and then select Transformations/Capitalize. Is there a way to select multiple files and initiate the Capitalize function?

You could use Automator to do this - take a look at the article at http://www.wikihow.com/Batch-Rename-Files-in-Mac-OS-X-Using-Automator to see how this might be done.
Good luck...

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Is there a way to use multiple canvas tags with the ToolKit for CreateJS for Flash in one HTML5 doc?

Hey everyone, I was wondering if someone could help point me in the right direction for solving this. I have created 5 short animations using Flash and when I published each ".fla " (with Toolkit for CreateJS extension) I get 5 different html5 files with their own respective javascripts. Is there a way to get all those canvas tags in one html5 file and still have it work. I'd love a hint on where to begin so I can begin researching the solution.
Thanks!

Why do you think that one will be over written?
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one computer. Each is different and will only sync what you select.

Is there a way to use a shortcut value in the page's header template ?

Hello everybody,
we would like to create a page template with centralized information in the database. I tried to use the shortcuts inside the page template, but it doesn't seems it's working, or I'm not using it correctly.
The only way I was able to use it is by using javascript to instanciate some properties, But I don't like that idea because it means I must edit all the page using that script. I simply want to change the page template and the changes be applied to all the page who are using that template.
Here is what I want to do :
<img src="#WORKSPACE#image/logo.png" alt='"MY_SHORTCUT"' />
IS there a way to have a dynamic substitution variables that I could use in my html object attributes ? (I'm using APEX 3.2)
Thank you

Shortcuts are not available for use in page templates. This is something of a pain.

IS there a way to have a dynamic substitution variables that I could use in my html object attributes ? (I'm using APEX 3.2)The closest equivalent to shortcuts in this case is probably an application item. Set the value using an application computation or process and reference it in the page template using static substitution syntax:
<a href="http://myserver.com/htmldb/f?p=100:1:415680519803489:::::" title="&APP_ITEM."> <img src="#WORKSPACE#image/logo.png" alt="&APP_ITEM." /> </a>Not sure that it's necessarily a good idea to use the same value for link <tt>title</tt> and image <tt>alt</tt> text in this case though. What value(s) will be used?

Is there a way to calculate a date field based on aother date field in sharepoint list?

In a SharePoint list, I have a 'Start of Use Date' and need to ensure the 'Review Date' is no more than 14 months after the 'Start of Use Date', but can't figure out the formula. Can you help?

You can cast the field values in the SPListItem to DateTime objects and call the AddMonths(int) function to see if the two are more than 14 months apart. For instance:
DateTime startOfUseDate = (DateTime) item["Start of Use Date"];
DateTime reviewDate = (DateTime) item["Review Date"];
if (startOfUseDate.AddMonths(14) >= reviewDate)
// Review Date IS NOT more than 14 months after Start of Use Date
else
// Review Date IS more than 14 months after Start of Use Date

Is there a way to use iMessage but not have the texts sync to my iPad or other devices, just stay on my iPhone?

I don't like when things from my phone sync to my iPad or iPod, so I am wondering if there is a way to keep the texts on my phone and off of everything else. I share my iPad with others and don't want to be in the middle of a conversation when all of a sudden it just appears while someone else is using the iPad. In addition, I don't want the messages to syn to the computer when I plug my phone in, as I also share the computer with others. This has kept me from using iMessage because of how iCloud works, but maybe I just don't have a good understanding of how they work and someone can clear it up for me. Thanks.

I don't even see the iMessage option on my iPad anywhere. Maybe it needs to be updated?
Does this have anything to do with iCloud or just iMessage?

Is there a way to use dynamic built string in the "from" clause

Hi all, im having one problem and now, im not sure how to solve it easily at all... :) Is there someone that would be so kind and put a eye on it? ..thx
I have plsql proc, in which i have a list of table_names. For each of that table i need to run a query that will retrieve me a list of values and for each of that value i need to do something.
If i can be more specific about the problem -> each of that table is built as key_column, value_columns, day,starttime. For a key per table there are 4 records per hour - every quarter. Im truncating those quarters to full-quarter (minutes => 0->14 = 0min; 15->29 = 15min, 30->44 = 30, 45->59=45)
example
i get for one key and specific hour four records at 15:01;15:16;15:31;15:46 => i truncate em to 15:00;15:15;15:30;15:45..Sometimes there is a problem with the tool that is generating those data for me, and one quarter could be moved a little - so i get data like 15:01;15:16;15:29;15:46 => after i truncate the times i get duplicates in second quarter. It also can happen like this : 23:00; 23:14; 23:29; 23:44; 23:59 => totaly bad => cos the last one supposed to be as 0:00 next day, ..and 23:14 as 23:15...So...that was a problem - and solution -> i wanted to create plsql that will find those hours in each table i ve defined, and for each problem hour i make some fixes - update the bad time ...
..and i have problem - can i put an dynamic built table_name in the "from" clause?
example how i wanted to do that:
declare
     type t_objectName     is table of varchar2(030) index     by pls_integer;
     l_tableName              t_objectName;
begin
l_tableName(1) := 'tmphlrgl';
l_tableName(2) := 'tmprcfgl';
l_tableName(3) := 'tmprcfbs';
l_tableName(4) := 'tmpvlrgl';
for i in (select evtime from (select day,trunc_quarter(evtime) evtime,m_id from l_tableName(i) group by day,trunc_quarter(evtime),m_id having count(*)>1) order by evtime) loop
--some other conditions and the update...
end loop;
end;
/I cannot use the l_tableName(i) for FROM ...get an error...I was thinking to build it as dynamic sql and execute immediate into some kind of object that can store mutliple lines, from which i would in the FOR cycle get the data...But im not sure if this could be done in plsql...
thanks for your time and help..
d.

declare
c sys_refcursor;
begin
for i in 1..4 loop
open c for 'day,trunc_quarter(evtime) evtime,m_id
from ' || l_tableName(i) ||
'group by day,trunc_quarter(evtime),m_id having
count(*)>1) order by evtime';Just to high light SELECT is missing that all
OPEN c FOR ' SELECT day,trunc_quarter(evtime) evtime,m_id
          FROM' || l_tableName(i) ||
'GROUP BY day,trunc_quarter(evtime),m_id HAVING count(*)>1)   ORDER BY evtime';

Is there a way to use different search engines on the main bar and on the small one without having to switch anything on the small one?

I want to use google when I type to search in the main bar and wikipedia on the small search bar on the right. However, they both seem to use the same search engine, depending on which one I've chosen on the small search bar. I want them to use different ones without having to click and change engines. How can I do that?

You can use a (one letter) keyword search on the location/address bar and assign a keyword via "Manage Search Engines".
You can use the Keyword Search extension to specify which search engine to use for searching via the location/address bar.

Is there any way to use video with the new Flash CC HTML5 Canvas?

I am a long time Flash user trying to determine if this new version of the program is something to add to the workflow again (after the last several years of not being able to use it) and the tutorials I have seen are not well written. Is there a way to use a video file within the animation, like with the AS2 and AS3 versions of Flash where I could insert a video clip into a symbol and animate the symbol while the video played.
What I need to know is what format of video file I should use and how to add it into the timeline since Flash does not seem to be allowing for any type of import for this.
Any Thoughts?
Thanks,
Brett

Ok, so there are limitations, are they written down somewhere? I have been looking for a list of do and do not functions and the ways to work around them. Are they in the documentation somewhere I haven't discovered?
Right now all I am looking to do is create Classic Tweens that animate movement and opacity so I can create a presentation with video that includes these elements. Is that level of functionality available in the HTML5 Canvas, or is that still on the drawing board?
Is there a specific name for what I am looking to do that would aid my search? HTML5 video is not enough since the answer has not been forthcoming in Google or on Adobe or Stack Overflow. I am starting to think that nobody has thought of this yet, or if they have they decided that it is not currently possible and skipped the part where the rest of us find out.
Any thoughts on making the connection to either doing this or finding out that it is just not possible yet would be very helpful.

I'm using TestStand/Labview to do a string value test. Is there any way to use a variable in the edit string value test?? This forces you to hard code a string to test against.

I'm using TestStand 2.0/Labview 6i to do a string value test. Is there any way to use a string variable in the edit string value test instead of an actual string?? This forces you to hard code a string to test against.

Hi ART,
You can also use the LimitLoader step to load your string into to step similar to the Numeric Step type.
There should be an example of this in the Resource Library | TestStand

Is there a way to use a bookmark from Maps as the home/work address of a contact?

I'm trying to use location-based reminders. But the Home and Work addresses I have in my own contact card are not recognized by Apple Maps.
Is there a way to use Apple Maps to set the Home and Work addresses in my contact card to something that it will be able to understand?
Edit: It doesn't have to be with Apple Maps. Google Maps or any other service where I can bookmark my "Current Location" would be fine. I just want an effieient way to use Location-based reminders when manually inputting an address is not an option, but locating it on a map is.

Unfortunately there is no way to do that current stage , you would need to add the tags manually.
Thanks,
Sanjit
