Prevent multiple users from editing/approving the same form SPD 2013,SP 2013

Hello all, I have a workflow with a to do task, the task is assigned to a group so any of the users in that group can go in and do a quality check on form data and approve it. How do I prevent multiple users from working on the
same form? do I just require check out? or is there a way to notify the rest of the group that a user has already started the quality check.

The "Require Checkout" option is your best bet. You can also enable the auto checkout on edit option to allow minimal effort on the side of the user. Other users will then get the error message stating the item is checked out, if they try to
edit it.
If you'd like, you could add a workflow to the task list that triggers when something is changed. That workflow can check if the item is checked out and if so, email the other users assigned to the task.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

How to prevent multiple users from updating the same data in coherence

Hi,
I have a Java Web Application and for data cache am using coherence 3.5. The same data maybe shared by multiple users which maybe in hundreds. Now how do I prevent multiple users from updating the same data in coherence i.e. is there something in coherence that will only allow one user a time to update. If one user is in a process of updating a data in coherence and some other user also tries to update then the second user should get an error.
Thanks

I have a question on the same line. How can I restrict someone from updating a cache value when I a process is already working on it. I tried locking the cache key but it does not stop other process to update it , it only does not allow other process to get lock on it.

Prevent multiple users from updating coherence cache data at the same time

Hi,
I have a web application which have a huge amount of data instead of storing the data in Http Session are storing it in coherence. Now multiple groups of users can use or update the same data in coherence. There are 100's of groups with several thousand users in each group. How do I prevent multiple users from updating the cache data. Here is the scenario. User logs-in checks in coherence if the data there and gets it from coherence and displays it on the ui if not get it from backend i.e. mainframe systems and store it in coherence before displaying it on the screen. Now some other user at the same time can also perform the same function and if don't find the data in coherence can get it from backend and start saving it in coherence while the other user is also in the process of saving or updating. How do I prevent this in coherence. As have to use the same key when storing in coherence because the same data is shared across users and don't want to keep multiple copies of the same data. Is there something coherence provides out-of-the-box or what is best approach to handle this scenario.
Thanks

Hi,
actually I believe, that if we are speaking about multiple users each with its own HttpSession, in case of two users accessing the same session attribute in their own session, the actually used cache keys will not be the same.
On the other hand, this is probably not what you would really like, you would possibly like to share that data among sessions.
You should probably consider using either read-through caching with the CacheLoader implementor doing the expensive data retrieval (if the data to be cached can be obtained outside of an HTTP container), or side caching with using Coherence locks or entry-processors for concurrency control on the data retrieval operations for the same key (take care of retries in this case).

If multiple users will be using the same iPad, how can I lock it so the settings cannot be changed, specifically the languages(students are changing the languages)?

If multiple users will be using the same iPad, how can I lock it so the settings cannot be changed, specifically the languages(students are changing the languages)?

Even with Apple Configurator most of the settings cannot be locked, and that includes the language settings. Most schools and organizations seem to just accept that they'll have to reconfigure the iPads on a regular basis.

How to restrict the user for re-submitting the same form

Hi All,
I would like to know, How to restrict a user for re-submitting the same page.
I have a jsp page with submit button... and should not allow the user to save the same data again ..
Anil

Try the followings. If user disable cookies, this will not work. You need to modify to detect such situation!
String processed = "mycooke";
Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
Cookie c = null;
if (cookies!=null) {
for (int i=0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
if (cookies.getName.equals(processed)) {
c = cookies[i];
break;
if (c!=null) {
// already processed.
// send error message and exit.
// set cookie;
c = new Cookie(processed , "yourdata");
c.setMaxAge(-1);
response.addCookie(c);
// process as it is the first;

Prevent multiple users from accessing a list item at the same

Hi,
I have a scenario where, if a list item is opened (in edit mode) by one user, no other user should able to access it. I mean to checkin/checkout kind of thing which is not possible with sharepoint lists.
One thing that I have done through infopath 2010, by setting a rule on form load. On form load, set a field's value Assigned To to Current User and then submit data. In case I am getting value of Assigned To getting stored in the list as a new record
along with all the values from previous fields.
I want to update the same record not the duplicate record.
Please suggest a solution for it.

Hi
add a new column to your list COL_EDITING( type yes, no )
Default value : NO
Customize your editform.aspx attached to your form, when it open
A. analyze if COL_EDITING=NO
If it isn;t alert an error message ( the item is in edit mode by another user ) , and close the page
if it is --->
B to fill COL_EDITING=YES
and next permit user to fill the fields in the form

How can I get Firefox to run on a network with multiple users logging on with the same user name and password?

I am trying to get Firefox running on a large network where I have multiple users that log on with the same user name and password. The problem is that when another user logs on to another computer the message comes up that their is already an instance of firefox running on that computer even though there really isn't. Only one instance can be run on the network at one time. I believe it is because firefox stores a shared profile as it thinks it is actually the same user even though it is being run on another computer. I repeat that each user that logs on uses the same user name and password but on different computers.

How to enable multiple users logging in to the same client machine?

Hi,
We have our home directories shared from the server (using AFP) and this allows our users to log in to any machine via the normal console login.
But if you try to remotely login to a machine with ssh, and another user is already logged in at the machine, then you get the error message:
Could not chdir to home directory /Network/Servers/machinename/Users/keith: No such file or directory
I can connect (via) ssh, only if no user is logged in at the console. If I connect with ssh when no users are logged in, and then a user logs in at the console, then this unmounts the home directory for the ssh user.
I have read about the mnthome command, and if I try running this (from my ssh login whilst there is a console login) then I get the error message:
Error: Mount failed with error 1 Operation not permitted
I'm assuming that multiple ssh logins must be allowed somehow? Can you only do this if you share your home directories with NFS (in this case, I understand that all home directories always appear mounted on each client)???
Any help appreciated,
Keith
Server and all clients running 10.4.3
iBook & PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thanks for the info. I really thought that this would be a fixable problem. I also thought that it might work when two different users both logged in using ssh only (i.e. when there is no console login). But this also causes problems for the second ssh login.
What practical work-arounds have people tried? The respondent to your other post (linked to above) suggested that NFS sharing might work, only that ssh logins still don't mount the home directory. Is this the case?
Thanks for the speedy answer.

Prevent Certain Users From Shutting Down the Mac

Hello,
I have a group of Mac Minis which are secured in an equipment rack. When someone shuts the computer off, the rack has to be moved and the Mac powered-on, manually. This is not as easy as it may seem. Is there a way to remove the "Shutdown" item from the Apple menu. I need the "Logoff" and "Reboot" the options to still be available. I do nt have an OS X server, from which to project these settings from Workgroup Manager. Is there some .plist I can edit, or permission I can change?
Thanks

Not possible without hacking the system and even then it is not foolproof. If you Google something like mac os x disable shutdown you'll get an idea of the situation.
And if you could remove the command from the Apple menu there is still the key combination to deal with.
If this is a social problem, users mistakenly shutting down the system then maybe education would be a better approach to take.
If it is willful or the inconvenience of this being done is very great then maybe you should suggest getting the serve for $20 just to have the ability to handle this.
regards
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - it does appear that tinkertool says it does address the 'shutdown option in the finder'. Interesting to see if this is the Apple menu. Worth a shot

Share excel 2007 with more that one users and edit at the same time

Dear community members,
How can I best shere an excell workbook 2007 if I want multiple users to view and edit simultaneously? The workbook contains macros, conditional formating, and dropdown lists which I want all to be functional!
Thanks,

Hi,
You can create a shared workbook and place it on a network location where several people can edit the contents simultaneously
Just go to the Review tab, in the Changes group, click
Share Workbook.
However, not all features and functionalities are supported in a shared workbook. Please review this article for more details:

Can I make the parameter supports multiple selection and editable at the same time?

Hi,
I am building my report using SQL Server Report builder 3.0. All the parameters are added to the report
by the builder. When the user access the report by browser, he can change the parameter value and click "view report" button to load the report from the database.
For one of the parameter, I want to provide user the ability to select frequently used value as multiple
selection, and meanwhile let them able to edit the value if the preloaded selection doesn't contain what he wants.
Is it possible to archive this goal using report builder?
Thanks!

You cant have this functionality using standard report viewer. An approximate work around can be implemented as follows.
Have two parameters one based on your current parameter values (dropdown) and another one without any available values set and default set to NULL (Set Allow Null value property and pass Null as default value). This parameter will appear as disabled textbox
with NULL checkbox checked.
Now in your code behind which gives you first parameter's values Add one more value say <None Of Values> and set value as some default value (-1 if int or just a random string value).
Now in the value for second parameter set a expression like below
=IIF(Parameters!FirstParam.Value ="<Select None>","",Nothing)
This will make sure second parameter gets activated when you select option <none> from first. Then you can type the value you want in it
In query behind just make filter like below
WHERE field = CASE WHEN @Param1 <> '<None>' THEN @Param1 ELSE @Param2 END

Multiple User Accounts Belonging to the Same Person--Authorization

Hello,
I've used iTunes for a number of years, and have accumulated a handful of Apple user accounts over that time period. I've always been able to de-authorize old computers and re-authorize new ones to be able to play all of the songs I've purchased over the years on whatever machine I'm using currently, but I just got a new laptop with Windows 7 and have only been able to get into one of my Apple accounts on it. Obviously I'm aware that it's not ideal for me to be one person with multiple accounts, but as my email accounts changed (and as I got older), I just kept re-registering. Now, iTunes seemingly isn't even registering that my two older accounts exist: my passwords, which I know are right, are no longer working to sign me in, much less to authorize this new computer to play the songs I bought probably 6 or 7 years ago.
I was wondering if there is anything I can do to get Apple to condense my accounts, especially considering that the original iTunes account I had was through AOL (the later two are through gmail accounts), though my end goal is really just to be able to play all of my music.
Any ideas on how to solve any of these issues would be greatly appreciated! At this point iTunes isn't even recognizing the older two accounts, as I said earlier.
Thanks!
Elise

You said it right there, in your post... Call Apple for support with combining the accounts. I have never heard of them doing that. But, if they can, you would need to contact them as they do not read these forums.

How do I stop multiple videos from loading at the same time and playing while looking at any article on google news?

Multiple videos load at once and start playing creating sound mess and sucking up ram. This is happening on Firefox on both Windows 8 and Windows 7 machines. This started about three weeks ago. I have run Avast, malwarebytes, hitman pro, and other malware killers. A new youtube setting appeared in settings, I have unticked everything. The videos do not appear to be youtube based.

You could enable plugins click-to-play. Also, set the plugins to Ask to Activate rather than Always Activate. I also recommend the extension "Click to Play per-element".

Multiple users viewing/editing common records

Hi all. I'm running tomcat 5.5.17. My webapp involves creating/viewing/editing/saving records from a database. Multiple users can login to the app, and so multiple users may view a record. I want to avoid two users viewing & editing the same record, and then saving. Of course, the one who saves last will dictate what actually stays in the DB.
An easy-way-out I thought of was...I can keep a list in the servlet context, and when a user views a record, add their name, the record id, and a timestamp to this list. Then, it's easy to check who has been viewing/editing a record in the last X minutes, so it's equally easy to display a warning saying "Users also viewing this record in the last 10 minutes: User1, User2, User3." Whenever I add someone to the list, I'd also remove all stale entries (ones which have been in the list for longer than X minutes).
This isn't a great way to do it, of course. Optimally, I'd want to add and remove users from this list in real-time. Adding is no problem...I can execute whatever commands I need to in the servlet/jsp to add them to the list. Removing though...how can I remove them from the list? Well...WHEN do I want to remove them? When they stop viewing the record. As in, when they browse away from the page. Javascript has a window.onbeforeunload = function() { //do stuff } function...but I can't really run any jsp through there. Unless I open a new window which runs some jsp and closes immediately, but what kind of a solution is that.
Any suggestions?

Yeah, change your requirements.
In my opinion it should be the other way around: the first user who gets the record dictates the resulting state in the database, not the last one. One way to prevent multiple users from overwriting each others changes (a very rare occurence, but possible) is to use all the fields in a record to generate a where clause for the update or delete statement.
Example:
A record exists with a name field set to 'bill gates'.
User 1 selects this record
User 2 selects the same record
User 1 changes field 'name' to 'larry laffer'
User 1 saves the changed record to the database
User 2 changes one of the fields (BUT STILL HAS 'bill gates' AS THE NAME!)
User 2 saves the changed record to the database
Now in the where clause used in the update statement for user 2, somewhere there will be and name='bill gates'. This condition is now no longer true since the name was changed by user 1. The result: the update for user 2 will fail , 0 rows updated.
A very, very rare sql exception is always better than changes being lost in my opinion.
