Sharepoint Created By Field showing wrong person

I got a message from an end user who is logged into Sharepoint as himself but everything he has created or updated shows 'Created By' or 'Updated By' another user. Any idea why this would happen?
-Sharepoint 2010

There may be a difference in the way he is logged in to the browser and on the computer. Say, if you're saving a Word document Word itself is hosted in its own process and by default runs under the credentials of the current logged in user. This may actually
be different from the credentials used by the user to login to sharepoint causing the confusion. I'd advise you to look into that.
Kind regards,

Created By field shows display name.

Hi,
I have a SharePoint list and the created By Field exports as Display name when I export to excel. I would like to auto -populate a field in the SharePoint list that will auto populate the Field with display name of the field when an item is created.
How can I make this possible?
Thanks,

hi
you need to use JavaScript code for the same.

Master-Detail in One Page, on CREATE master, details show wrong rows

Hi all,
(ADF Faces + BC, 10.1.3 su5)
I am creating a master-detail add/edit page in ONE page.
Master : ADF Form, with Create, Submit, Commit, Rollback operation/button
Detail : ADF Editable Table, with Create, Submit, Delete operation / button
When first called, the page display the existing master-details in the collection.
When I press Create on master, I expect the detail table to be refreshed to BLANK, but it keeps on displaying the existing rows.
Detail table only becomes BLANK after I Submit the newly created master first.
So the question is :
How to make the detail table BLANK after I press Create on master ?
Thank you ,
xtanto

See section 10.4.3 "When to Use CreateInsert Instead of Create" in the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers.

Resource Department is showing wrong in SharePoint 2010

Hello All,
I have one Application which is In-house application (created by our developers) and this is running and hosted on SharePoint 2010. My concern is this I have one user in my application and her Department and Title is showing wrong in site collection. I have
deleted the user from site collection (UIL) and then try to add her name again but still her information is showing wrong. I have checked in Active Directory and all the information is correct there.
Please help me to resolve this issue. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks

Thanks Devendra for your suggestion, but not that much good in codes. Can you please tell me what should I change in the below code to update the fields.
function Sync-SPUser([string]$userName, [string]$title) {
Get-SPSite -Limit All | foreach {
$web = $_.RootWeb
if ($_.WebApplication.UseClaimsAuthentication) {
$claim = New-SPClaimsPrincipal $userName -IdentityType WindowsSamAccountName
$user = $web | Get-SPUser -Identity $claim -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
} else {
$user = $web | Get-SPUser -Identity $userName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($user -ne $null) {
$web | Set-SPUser -Identity $user -SyncFromAD
$list = $web.Lists["User Information List"]
$query = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPQuery
$query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Name' /><Value Type='Text'>$userName</Value></Eq></Where>"
foreach ($item in $list.GetItems($query)) {
$item["JobTitle"] = $title
$item.SystemUpdate()
$web.Dispose()
$_.Dispose()
Appreciate your response on this.

CAT2 duplicate PS network activities showing in personal template

Hello,
We are using SAP_APPL 4.7, support pack 22 and SAP_HR 4.7, support pack 10.
I don't know much about CATS & PS, but I provide our end user support.
We are using transaction CAT2 to report hours worked against PS network activities. We have run into a glitch when using the 'Save as Template' feature which creates a personal template. In our situation a person will add a network activity in the data entry area of CAT2. After they input their time they press the 'save as template' icon. Then when they enter CAT2 the following week to report their time, the network activity is still listed in the data entry area for them to enter their time. This part is working fine.
Now let's assume someone goes into project systems (CJ20N) and changes the network activity description (which shows in CAT2 as a informational output field). The person entering time then goes into CAT2. Their template is showing the network activity in the data entry area with the old description. When they input their hours and press enter, the new network activity description is pulled in on the time sheet, overlaying the old original description. At this point they still see one entry in their time sheet. Now here is the glitch - if the person goes in the following week to enter their time, they see two entries in the data entry area - one with the old description and one with the new description. Both records show the same network activity number, but now 2 records are appearing in their template because the description changed.
Our 'work around' has been to have people delete their personal template and recreate it from scratch if they see these 'double entries' due to a description change. Does anyone know a better way to handle this or if there is 'fix' that we can apply to correct this issue so we don't see two records? I did some looking in OSS, the only duplicate entry reference I could find was OSS note 1058293, however it was related to WBSs and was not for our release. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hi Debbie.
When writing into CAT2 screen data is pulled when pressing enter. If a person has a wrong cost center, e.g., this cannot be changed by changing the persons cost center only. All the hours have to be deleted and rewritten for CAT2 then pulling the correct cost center.
Considering this behaviour of the system it would be a consequence that CAT2 pulls the new text but lets the existing entries unchanged.
You have not said anything about the written hours. Are these duplicated as well? If you open an OSS because of this I'd be curious to hear about the answer.
Best regards.

FBL5N t code and BSEG table is showing wrong contract number

Hi,
The proces flow is contract number>sales order>DMR-->Invoice
Now when I am checking the VBFA table it's showing correct contract number against invoices but FBL5N t code and BSEG table are showing wrong contract numbers.
Why FBL5N and BSEG table is showing wrong contract number?
Currently we are using one enhancement and user exit is used to incorporate one customized field as identifier for bill type.
1. During the billing document release to accounting VFX3, The user exit triggering and it is update the customized fields and Net settlement indicator.
2. Using the Invoice number, get the fields VGBEL(Document number of the reference document) and VGPOS (Item number of the reference item) from VBRP and read table VBAP with VBELN and POSNR, to get DMR number (Sales Document) that created for the Invoice.
3. Use fields VGBEL and VGPOS on table VBAP to get the sale order number.
4. By using the Sales order number, get the Distribution channel to update Net indicator field
In accounting table BSEG-UZAWE = JF must be updated on the customer line.
5. Retrieve the sale order number and item level to get customized field from table VBAP
Any pointers.
Thanks
Ashu

Hi Reazuddin,
Thanks for your reply,
I am concercerned about BSEG table and using user exit EXIT_SAPLV60B_008 to post the document in FI.
Now in we have enhanced this user exit for contracts and included in this way.
SELECT SINGLE ZZ_CONTRACT FROM VBAK INTO (LC_CONTRACT) WHERE VBELN EQ cvbrp-vgbel.
Endloop.
*Moving the values to final accounting table
loop at xaccit.
xaccit-vertn = lc_contract.
xaccit-VBEL2 = xaccit-AUBEL.
xaccit-xref3 = lc_vbel2.
MODIFY xaccit .
ENDLOOP.
Clear: lc_contract,lc_vgbel,lc_vgpos,lc_vbel2.
But I am getting correct data when checked other clients( development and quality), this problem I am getting in production.
Do I need to ask the ABAP'er to debug this enhancement in production?
Thanks
Ashutosh

How to create form fields in Adobe Professional version 8

Hello,
I have been trying for some time now to get a form in place. I have used an existing form and I am working in Adobe Professional version 8.
I went to tools, forms and than I thought I had to click on text field tool. But than it asks me to name the text field. I want to keep the name fields blank and have them completed by the persons I will send it to (or actually this form will be posted online). The other persons should be able to open, complete, save and return it by email.
please advise me what to do.
Your help section brings me all the time to the Life Cycle which I think is not appropriate for the purpose I need it.

Thank you for your advises but I have the impression my initial question is still not being answered.
I have tried to create the fields in Adobe Pro 8 version, via forms, text field tool and named all the fields.
Than I saved it and enabled the usage rights for Adobe Reader but opening this file from another computer in Adobe Reader, it allows me only to add comments and markups in the document, not filling out the form in the form fields I thought I created before?
Now what to do? Did I do something wrong with the creation of form fields, can you please describe the exact path/steps to take?
Appreciate your prompt reply.

SQL Subscription field shows * only with Dynamic Text Label in SQL query

We are using Hyperion Analyzer 7.2.x for showing budget and actual data. I have to show this financial data based on the security e.g. person in IT can see only IT dept. data. Hence I want to use dynamic text label <<userid>> for the security based on the person logging in to Analyzer.
But when I use dynamic text label <<userid>> in the SQL query in SQL Spreadsheet, SQL Subscription field shows * only selection option. Does anyone have idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.
-SV

Hi
Okay i know this is a bit crazy way.....but i think this is the solution for your issue.
Create a report without the where clause (<<useris>>) then add a filter (sql subscription) then you can find all the values that are there in the SQL field (try to increase the query limit it is set to 250 as default) then edit the spreadsheet and add the where clause (<<userid>>).
This will help you having the filter and the dynamic text label. I think there is an issue when you try to filter it with a where clause.
Hope it helps.

External content based SharePoint list date/time information wrong

So, we have a SQL Server database that contains date/time type data.
When we look at the info in the database, the date and times appear to be in GMT, which is 5 hours before our time.
So, we set up views with a DATEADD calculation to compensate for the difference. When we use the view, the dates and times match our timezone info.
We then set up an external content to our view.
When the data is displayed in rows and columns, we see times that are 10 hours before GMT.
We had put in the dateadd calculations because when we had scripts that grabbed the data from SQL Server and put them into text files, the dates and times were all 5 hours off.
Is there code within the External data connectors (or SharePoint itself) which compensate for the time zones?
Thanks!

Hi Iwvirden,
When you create an External Content Type and External List using the SharePoint Designer, DateTime fields are normalized to UTC using the NormalizeDateTimesetting
associated with the TypeDescriptor for the DateTime field. This leads to the date field wrong in Business
Connectivity Services.
To fix this issue, you can change the normalization to use local time as follows:
<TypeDescriptor TypeName="System.DateTime"
Name="DueDate" DefaultDisplayName="Due Date">
<Interpretation>
<NormalizeDateTime LobDateTimeMode="Local" />
</Interpretation>
</TypeDescriptor>
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

Forcing created by field to use alias name

Hi,
How can I modify User Profile Service in SharePoint 2007, so that "Created by" field uses "domain\user" as opposed to fullname in the created by field or any hidden person field like "modified by".
Thanks

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to set default value for the “Business Unit” column by looking up to another list.
You can apply
JavaScript with Client Object Model to the NewForm.aspx page to meet your requirement.
A possible solution can be like this: When user opens the NewForm.aspx page of the current list, the custom JavaScript will be executed to get information about the
current user, then query the other list for the default value, set the value to the drop down list of the “Business Unit” column dynamically. The JavaScript can be added into a Content Editor Web Part and insert into the NewForm.aspx page.
The links below would be helpful for implementing this scenario:

select an option of drop down list using JavaScript:

Report Builder: ContentType Field shows always "System.Byte[]"

Hello Community!
I use the following systems:
SharePoint 2013
SQL Server 2012 Report Builder 3.0
So, I have a SharePoint List with some columns (Responsible Person, Serial Number, Content Type).
Responsible Person and Serial Number is displayed correctly. But in the field Content Type, I have seen "System.Byte[]" instead of the realy value of Content Type.
When I execute query, I have seen realy value of the field Content Type!
Could anybody help me?
Thanks a lot und greets from austria!
Daniel

Hi Daniel ,
According to your description, when you use SharePoint list as data source, the Content Type display as "System.Byte[]" instead of real value when running the report.
As we tested in our environment, Content Type can display correctly both in query designer and preview results. Please refer to our test results below to check if you design the report correctly:
1. Type the query in dataset like below:
2. Run the report:
Besides, it has reported the same issue with Content Type. In your scenario, please also try to use XML data source to connect to SharePoint list to retrieve data. For more information, please refer to this similar thread:
Reporting: ContentType Field Value always "System.Byte[]". If issue persists, please create the same report in SSDT and run the report, then check if there are warning messages in output.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
