In our share point 2010 internet site whenever we try to open pdf , its trying to open in adobe reader and prompting user to enter credentials and finally getting " url provided couldnot be reached..." error message. This is happening with only certain versions of adobe like Adobe X, Adobe 11.
Do you have any update on this one. It is possible to open the document in New WIndow or New tab by right clickign the document. ALso we have enabled browser handling for the web application "permissive".
ITs working fine in other versions of adobe reader like 9..
Thanks

Hi ,

i want to save both forms information(FM 1 & FM 2 ) in to a single list of share point 2010
If any knows the solution please reply me
Thanking You,
Arun Darly

Hi，
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to save the data from two info path forms in to a single list in share point 2010.
We can't save the data from two info path forms in to a single list, but we can
save the data from two info path forms in to a single library.
Open the FM 1 and FM 2 in Infopath(you have save it Locally once).
Publish the FM 1 and FM 2 as content types named FM 1 and FM 2.
Add the content types FM 1 and FM 2 into a document library, Then you can save the data
from two info path forms in to a single library.

How to populate active directory users in to drop down list items dynamically in Share point 2010 ?

Hi My self Arun in my current project i have a task on that active directory user need to automatically populate in share point list drop down please help me. is that any out of box feature in share point 2010 ?
Thanking You
Arun

Arun,
If you plan to implement the "Querying the Active Directory" based on my code snippet,
and if you do not have permission [your account must be the part of domain admin] to do so,
Then still you can do it in least effort through code,
string usersInXml = SPContext.Current.Web.AllUsers.Xml;your xml string look like this.
<Users><User ID="2" Sid="" Name="Administrator"
LoginName="i:0#.w|murugesan\administrator" Email="" Notes="" IsSiteAdmin="True" IsDomainGroup="False" Flags="0" /><User ID="1" Sid="" Name="Murugesa Pandian" LoginName="i:0#.w|murugesan\murugesan" Email="" Notes="" IsSiteAdmin="True" IsDomainGroup="False" Flags="0" /><User ID="1073741823" Sid="S-1-0-0" Name="System Account" LoginName="SHAREPOINT\system" Email="" Notes="" IsSiteAdmin="False" IsDomainGroup="False" Flags="0" /></Users>
You can user Linq to XML to filter the "LoginName,Name and Email and then populate your drop down list.
* User must be logged into the site at least once.

How to read data from info path in custom web part in share point 2010

We have a document library where the some info paths (code info paths) are uploaded with different views. Is there any way to read the data from info paths forms in custom share point 2010 web parts like using any available web services in share
point 2010 etc,,
Any suggestions are helpful to me.
TARUN

Hello,
Yes, you can use XmlDocument, XmlNodeList, XmlElement, XmlNode etc to read infopath file via code. Just add "using System.Xml" as reference in your solution.
Refer below link with sample code:

Can we change the name of reassign button in sharepoint 2010 approval workflow?

can we change the name of reassign button in sharepoint 2010 approval workflow?
Shazil Ali

Yes, we can change it. Steps are as follows: 1. Create the workflow in SharePoint Designer 2010 2. Use Start Approval Process action 3. Write your logic and all setting as per you requirement and then publish the workflow once. 4. After this, click on
the workflow name and there you will see the sections as Workflow Information, Customization, Settings, Start Options, Forms. Here you will see a form under Forms section with a name of Approval_x00....... with a type "Task". Click on this form. This form
is an Infopath form that opens up when a task is to be edited (Task Form). This form will open up in Infopath (provided you have Infopath installed on your system) It may ask you the crendentials for security. 5. The task form will open up in Infopath for
editing. Click on the Reasign button and in the top left corner in the ribbon section is the field (Label) having text as "Reassign Task". Change this and then save and publish the form.Publish the workflow once again.

Trying to set up an out of the box SP 2010 approval workflow that doesn't generate warnings or errors

I have a custom list for which I want an approval workflow. There is only going to be one stop for the approval - creating an item is a request to a person for a new code to be created.
If I do not turn on content approval, then I get the message:
The workflow could not set content approval status. Enable content moderation for this list and run the workflow again.
When I turn on content approval, then when the users go to the custom list to create an item, they see this message:
Items on this list require content approval. Your submission will not appear in public views until approved by someone with proper rights.
Surely I am missing something obvious. I just want a standard SP 2010 form without warnings to gather info from the user, then to create a workflow task that sends a person an email that they need to approve or reject the request.
The second message is going to cause questions from the users. The person who has to approve the tasks wants to be able to see what requests are awaiting approval vs approved vs rejected.
Is this something that is not doable in SP 2010?

the "Approval Process" step is designed for manipulating the "Moderation Status" (Content Approval status) of a list item... What you are seeing is DESIGNED behavior.
When Content Approval is enabled, content changes are not made public until they have been approved. The Approval workflow sends the email to a manager, who is supposed to approve or reject the change.
If Content Approval is DISABLED, there is no point to the workflow.

Workflow SharePoint 2010 -Approval workflow for multiple users

Want to create a 2010 SharePoint server workflow which will allow me to send email once item is added > Start approval process > if approved then mark workflow status as approved and then send email to reviewer 2 and again start the process of approving
> and approved then again mark status to approved and send email to reviewer 3 and mark status to approved if approved by reviewer 2 and end the workflow.Also, if the item is not approved by any user, then it should directly log a comment and go to end
of the workflow.
I had started as something like :
Send Email to rev1
Start approval process for current item with rev1
if approval status is approved
set workflow status to approved
send email to rev2 and so on...everything works but when rev1 rejects the item, then workflow does not go to end of the workflow. One difficult thing is we don't have go to a step option like in 2013 workflows.
I don't know how to move on as when I try to execute the logic, all three approval process(for 3 reviewers) run even if item is rejected .....Please help

Add Approved Date to 2010 Approval workflow

Hello
I have copied the globally reusable workflow Approval - SharePoint 2010 and will apply it to a document library.
However, this approval workflow does not have an approval date column (only in the history list).
We really need to have a date in the corresponding Tasks list to say the date it was approved, for our audit trail. I don't want to use the Workflow History list.
Your detailed response would be much appreciated as I am only new to modifying workflows.
Thank you so much.
Mel

Hi,
I understand you need to get the “Approved Date” and display it in the Task list.
As we can tell, there is a OOB column in the Task list named Outcome which shows the Approved status of Approval workflow. When it turns into “Approved”, then the current date is the “Approved Date” you want. So I use the workflow
to get the current date i.e. “Today”. Then we can create a new column in Task list (in my demo, it is Date) to display it.
Could you please have a test per my steps in my first reply? Any question, let me know.

Is it possible to debug step by step for share point designer workflow in share point 2010

Hi all,<o:p></o:p>
I have created a reminder date work flow but it is not working .In this work flow it need to be check first its status if its status is suspend then only workflow can run .I am
attaching below workflow logic check if any modifications needed please suggest me . And I have doubt is it possible to check step by step debugging like in coding we are using break point in this way any break point is available for designer workflows
? If break point is available please guide me how to get and use those<o:p></o:p>
Thanking you,<o:p></o:p>
ArunDarly
<o:p>Workflow logic given below</o:p>

You can't step through a SharePoint Designer Workflow. The normal workaround is to Log messages to the History list with the values you want to look at where you would normally put breakpoints. Then run the workflow and examine the history
list to see how the values changed as you went through your workflow.

How to create Remainder email workflow in share point 2010 designer without creating the remainder date (calculated) column in the list

Hi,<o:p></o:p>
I have task to create remainder email notification 3 days before by comparing with End
date (my list item) so i created one calculated column in the list as remainder date by using that remainder date
i created, but my project manager told me create same remainder notification work flow without create that remainder date i tried to write calculation in work flow
but it is not working if any one knows how to do this please help me<o:p></o:p>
Thanking you,<o:p></o:p>
ArunDarly <o:p></o:p>

Hi,
For reminder type requirements, I tend to use the ‘Information Management Policy’ SPD method as described in
this blog article by Laura Rogers (it’s for MOSS and WSS but works in SP2010 also).
This method avoids the use of calculated columns; rather the workflow does the calculation and outputs information into a ‘reminder’ field. Also, I don’t like the idea of ‘paused workflows’, so this method works for me.
Cheers
Matt

SharePoint Designer 2010 approval workflow error revisited

Karen K started a question around:
Errors
were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot be run.And when I click on the "Advanced" button in the error message, I see this detailed error:
(0,
0) Activity 'ID4' validation failed: Property 'DurationUnit' has invalid value. Field type 'System.String' does not match with the expected type 'Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.DurationUnit'.)
The full problem/solution is posted:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sharepoint2010customization/thread/332e49c6-6471-4374-9c9f-9bcf334f9c69
However,
I can't figure how to do step 2:
2. Select
the Action and click the “Advanced Properties”
ribbon control;
3. Find
the “DurationUnit” property in the properties
box, and click the “fx” link in the box;
Which
"Select the Action" am I looking for? I looked everywhere.
Help

RoyKim, it's simpler than you think, which is why it probably stumped you. This is all you do:
In SPD2010, click on the Workflows Site Object
Find your workflow and click on it to open the top-level settings page
Click edit workflow
This is the page where you perform the steps from that other thread
Single-click the row that says "Start Approval process on CurrentItem etc etc"
Then click Advanced Properties in the ribbon
Scroll down until you find DurationUnit
Click the fx button on the right and re-select Parameter: Duration Units as instructed
