Workflow to change file permission in SharePoint Online Document Library

1.What are my options with SPD 2013 If I want to change a documents file permission in a workflow?
2.Where does SPO host 2013 Workfows?
3.If connecting to SPO Can I use Worklow Manager 1.0?
4.Will I need to host my Workflow Manager workflows on server or Azure if running against o365/SPO?
5.If I wish to create SPO 2013 workflows with Visual Studio 2012, what do I need and will I be limited to actions I see in SPD 2013?
============================
Thank You

You can host this workflow as a SharePoint App in SharePoint Online or use SharePoint Designer to create this workflow as long as you use the app step. Managing the permissions can be done with a REST call. The initiator of the workflow must have
been granted the right to "Manage Permissions" and the app must have full control of the Site Collection. We have done so for several of our clients. I know you asked this question some time ago, but I thought the info might still be helpful.

Connect to SharePoint Online Document Library from Excel

We have a number of people in the field who fill out fairly complex evaluation forms in excel. These forms are submitted to a document library in SharePoint Online
What I need to be able to do is report off these submitted excel files reading and consolidating specific data (they are all of a consistent format). There may be any number of excel sheets in the source document library
Previously I would have done this using VBA but I cannot find a way of connecting to a sharepoint online document library from excel vba - I am open to other options

Hi Karthik,
Per my understanding, there is an XML file contains attributes. You want to upload it to a SharePoint library as well as extract the values of those attributes to
save to the corresponding columns of the SharePoint library.
As it is an Online environment, a workaround I would suggest is that you can create a client application(such as Windows Form Application) to extract values from the
XML file, then upload the file to SharePoint library, submit the values to the same library afterwards. All this can be achieved using SharePoint Client Object Model.

2GB of video file upload to SharePoint 2013 document library

Hi All,
We have a requirement of uploading a 2GB of video file to a SharePoint 2013 document library. Will there be any issue due to increasing the maximum file size?
Many Thanks,
sudesh withanage

It will be better if you save all your videos at one location,i.e Asset Library.Check the link for Asset libraries
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee414275(v=office.15).aspx
In case you want to add other files (i,e excel ,word) along with videos you will need to increase library size,
Check the following link to increase the file size ,as well as the issues and workaround to solve the problems

Hiding the MS Word Web App toolbar in SharePoint Online Document Library

Hi Guys!
Badly needed your input on this scenario. I've created a document library in SharePoint Online but when I add a document I wanted the MS Word Web App toolbar to be hidden as I didn't want to have the document printed and downloaded. Just
want to have the file in read only mode.
I've come across subscription to IRM of Office 365 as a solution but it's kinda expensive for this need.
Any idea on how to resolve this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Venus

Hi!
Even if I give a view-only permission to the user, still the print button is available and the document can still be downloaded to PDF file.
Also, the permission rights given to the users of the document library is contributor. But after routing for approval and the content is approved. It should be read-only even to the one who authored the document.
I've checked also IRM for a solution but unfortunately what we have is E1 package so IRM is out of the option.
Thanks,
Venus

Question about renaming sync'd SharePoint Online document library with OneDrive Pro

If I have a site called http://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/Department/Documents created as a document library subsite, the OneDrive Pro share will show it under "OneDrive @ My Company" as "Documents - Documents".
What would I need to change in order for the OneDrive sync'd view to show as "SubsiteName Documents - Documents"?
Can I do this by just changing the title of the subsite's header (i.e. changing 'Documents' to 'Department Documents', or does the whole subsite path name need to be changed (i.e. /sites/Department/DepartmentDocuments/)?

You can invite people to your SharePoint site using External Accounts (Microsoft Accounts or other tenant Office 365 accounts) which there is no charge for.
Office 2010 will not currently impact your ability to use O356.

Why isn't my SharePoint online document library showing anything in the Title column for PDFs I upload?

I've got a document library on my SharePoint Online site. I've enabled the Title column in the library view. When I upload Word documents, the title I entered into the document properties list (Word 2010, File > Info > Properties list > Title) appears
in the Title column of my library in SharePoint. But when I upload the published PDF version (created from the same Word file using Word 2010 by File > Save As) to the library, there's nothing in the Title column. Why? Is SharePoint failing to read the
metadata of the PDF file? Is Word 2010 failing to copy the metadata into the PDF file when it's created from the Word file?
What's going wrong and how do I fix it?
When answering, please keep in mind that I'm a SharePoint novice.
Regards,
Bruce Officer

I think I've ruled out the possibility that Word isn't saving the Title property with the PDF when I convert to PDF using Word 2010's built-in Save As PDF command. I found a utility called Evermap AutoMetadata which shows all the metadata saved in a PDF
file and the Title field is indeed present in the PDF, with the correct value. Windows File Explorer won't show that property as present, but AutoMetadata does. It now looks like SharePoint isn't reading that field for some reason. Does anyone know why, and
what I should do about it?

How to add custom file icons on SharePoint 2010 document library?

Hi there,
In a document library SharePoint shows the PDF and Word etc icons all fine - however we have a custom file format with a custom icon. Is this possible to add this custom icon for our custom extension? How?
Thank you so much.

Hi,
You could accomplish your requirement by using jQuery with these steps, and this code is using jQuery to modify it on the current page, if you would like to make it work on all library, you need to choose the former method or add this JQuery script on all
library pages manually:
Upload a custom icon to file “14\ Template\Images” or your SharePoint document library.
Add this code below in the document library that you want to extend your custom icon, you could add code by following these: Click edit page in the document library -> add a web part -> choose Content Editor -> click edit source in the Ribbon ->
add the source below -> click OK.
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var fileObject = $("[title$='docx']");
for(var i=0; i < fileObject.length; i++){
//fileObject[i].outerHTML="<img width=\"16\" height=\"16\" title=\"test.docx\" alt=\"test.docx\" src=\"/_layouts/15/images/custom.png\" border=\"0\">"; // upload your custom icon to file ” 14\ Template\Images”, replace your src URL
fileObject[i].outerHTML="<img width=\"16\" height=\"16\" title=\"test.docx\" alt=\"test.docx\" src=\"/sites/sharepoint2013/Shared%20Documents/custom.png\" border=\"0\">"; // upload your custom icon to SharePoint document library, replace your src URL
</script>

SharePoint Online Document Library different upload process ?

I'm pretty new to office 365.... Why is the document library different in terms of uploading ? What I mean is.. When I upload a document it doesn't give me the option to edit the properties first before it uploads the document.. ON the on-prem version
when you upload you have the chance to define the item properties. Kindly please help ?
AJ MCTS: SP 2010 Configuration MCSA: Windows 7 If you find this post useful kindly please mark it as an answer :) TY

I am not 100% sure if this will answer you question as I also noticed on SharePoint Online that when none of your metadata are required metadata it upload the document to library rather than giving you an option to define values for those metadata as opposed
ton on-prem will give you an option to define values regardless of metadata is required or not.
One workaround you can use is to go to document library advanced settings and select YES to allow management of content type. Do not add or modify anything but turning that option to Yes will force document library to show you the metadata page after you
upload the document.

File Permission Issues from Public Document Library In Workspace

Hello All,
I've scanned through the posts and have not seen this issue.
I've created a workspace for a customer. They are able to login to the workspace with no problem. They can browse the documents and folders under Public Documents no problem. The problem occurs when they try to open a document. They are prompted for windows login credentials. This occurs for anyone using IE, not for Firefox.
We did find one work around for accessing WebDAV via IE, but I'd like them to use the console if possible.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Ray Parente

Ray,
The issue with IE is that when a document is opened it tries to create a back channel via webDAV to allow the document to be edited in place. This is where the login request comes from and if the customer marks the login to be remembered it will only happen each time they access the document for the first time in a session.
IE uses webDAV but the others just download the doc and it must be resaved.

Hi,
For issue 1, please refer
To manage the permissions for a Document Set, you must have at least the Design or Full Control permission level.
On the Welcome Page for the Document Set, click the Manage tab of the Document Set ribbon, and then click Permissions.
Do one of the following:
To change the permission settings for the document library itself, click Manage Parent.
To stop inheriting permissions from the document library and create unique permissions for this Document Set individually, click Stop Inheriting Permissions.
To view the specific permissions an individual has, click Check Permissions, and then type the name of the user or group you want to check.
To inherit permissions from the parent document library (if the Document Set was previously configured to stop inheriting them) click Inherit Permissions.
For more information about working with permissions, see the links under See Also.

SharePoint 2013 document library workflow to send emails when document changes

Hi All,
Need a email alerts to setup when documents get change in a SharePoint 2013 document library. Mail should go to all the members in a SharePoint Security group.
Many Thanks
sudesh withanage

Out of the box , You cannot set alerts for SharePoint group. You may try -
1- Create a group in active directory, add users to the ADgroup. Add that ADgroup in Sharepoint and configure alert.
2- You can set up a new user and change their email to that of a distribution list, and then assign the alerts to this user.
3- You can create a custom workflow/action or event receiver that will send an email to a distibution list or programmatically traverse the SPGroup's members and send them the notification email, whenever an item is added or changed.
4- You can try this , this was for WSS3 -
http://advancedalert.codeplex.com/
5- you can to use SharePoint Designer and create a workflow that send an email to SharePoint group.

Cannot able to save Excel 2013 file in Sharepoint 2007 document library

Dear All,
We have SharePoint 2007 intranet portal where in we have teamplace created for internal users to collaborate on documents.
Now we are having issues when using uploads Excel 2013 or Excel 2010 file on document library and try to edit the document.
Sometimes it doesn't allow to check out the file it say someone already checked out ..but when I try in my laptop its OK.
And some times when user opens the file it opens as non editable file and it does not take any changes.
Pls advise whether there is issue with SharePoint 2007 document library and Office Excel 2010,2013 files.
-- Regards Sandeep

The lock can apply in two places. Are you seeing the message in your browser or does it arise within Excel itself?

Can't open MS Word .doc files from SharePoint 2013 document library?

Hello,
I have uploaded some MS Word files with .doc extension into a SharePoint 2013 document library, but they don't open when clicked. I can do a number of things to the file, like view and edit properties, download and other things, but it does not
open up when mouse clicked. There are PDF files in the document library and they open up just fine. Any ideas?
I should add that MS Word 2010 .docx files can not be opened either.
Thanks.
Paul

Hi,
Whether you use office 2013.
Considering this .doc file can be smoothly opened in Office if you downloaded it to your local, it indicates that the Word document and Microsoft Word doesn’t have any problems. The issue may be caused by the compatibility between Office
and your site.
1.Check whether you have the SharePoint OpenDocuments Class add on enabled at first.
Internet Explorer >Tools iron > Manage add-ons >
Choose to Show All add-ons. Find SharePoint OpenDocuments Class and make sure it’s enabled.
2.go to Compatibility view settings > add your SharePoint site to compatibility view
3.go to Internet Options,
Advanced > Reset… > Check Delete personal settings and reset
Security > Trusted sites > sites > add SharePoint sites to trusted sites
4.If it doesn’t work, please open Word, go to Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Protected View > Uncheck all.
Best Regards,
