Analytics Beta: If we had "Article Title" fields empty

Hi Shikha,
This is Q for you :
If we had "Article Title" fields empty for the folio and then entered those later, we only getting new analytics data bound to those article titles. The older data stays under ::unspecified:: article title.
Is there a way to run database queries and make changes to the analytics data so it will relate article's unique id to the article title if the the title is not empty? That way the old analytics data will get under proper Article Titles once those are entered.
Thank you,
Gennady

Thank you Shikha,
We are not a SiteCatalayst user, so only have what available in Analytics Beta. Please don't forget to add some info about use of both Folio Names and Article Titles in Analytics or maybe even chnage Article Titles into required field if the checkbox "I'm planning to use DPS Analytics" is checked. Those just ideas.
Regards,
G.

User Profile Synchronization not displaying Title field correctly

Hello,
I've an issue with User Profile Synchronization (SP 2010). The Title field is displaying correctly for most of the users but still there are few user for them the Title field is blank. However in "User Information List" it displays the Title field
properly for those users. But in Central Administration when I check the User Profiles it's blank.I have already run Full Profile Synchronization few times in Central Administrations. Every time it's shows as successful but still no luck, still the Title field
is blank for some profiles.
Can anybody help on this? Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
Firstly , I need to verify the followings:
Whether the title field of user information list is changed if you type a value in user profile page and perform full sync.
Whether you have upgraded to SharePoint 2010.
If you have upgraded to SharePoint 2010, you need to make sure the user information list is mapped or connected to AD directly. More information, please refer to the post below:

If this issue still exists, please create a new User Profile Services Application, and compare the result.

Relevance of title field in doc library

Bit of a debate at work and I'm trying to dig up some hard facts.
We have been told that the title field in a document library and is pointless and can lead to user confusion between title/filename and basically adds no value. There has been recent talk of hiding the title field altogether from forms.
My concern is the effect this may have on search results.
We have our own custom meta data fields so this question doesn't relate to collecting meta data - we are covered there.
I have hunted down some info and have read comments saying that title is second only to content when it comes to the search algorithm. I've also read other articles that are less specific and just say it is good.
Is there a definitive answer?
This is a 2010 question but will also apply for our upgrade to 2013 which will be happening soon.
1. How does the title field feature when ranking results.
2. Is there a list/URL that defines all aspects of relevance building?

Hi ,
Relevance is about how closely the search results that are returned to the user match what the user wanted to find.
The formula to calculate relevance uses two areas of ranking called Static and Dynamic ranking.
Dynamic Ranking (query-dependent ranking) is where the property values or content of an item affects the ranking score. As example the ‘Title’ field can be evaluated against the search criteria and the more important we consider the field
to be, the higher the ranking score will be for items where the value in the ‘Title’ field have a closer match to the search criteria.
Static Ranking (query-independent ranking) is where the content or property values of an item do not determine the ranking of the item.
Dynamic Ranking contains Title Extraction - only performed on Microsoft Office files. In scenarios where the ‘Title’ field of an Office file does not accurately reflect the contents of the item (example when a title of a file is ‘Presentation
1’ or ‘Document 1’), Enterprise Search detects another candidate for title within the body of the content item, and includes this value with the actual title when calculating relevance.
More information, please refer to the link:

I hope this helps.

"Title" field not showing up in infopath forms

We have a custom infopath form for submitting requests. It have a column called "Title" ( the default Title which is the same one, that will show when you create a new form library)
The issue which we are facing is that- while we edit the form template in the designer 2010 view, we are not seeing the "Title" column.
We had scrolled through the fields section and also rules to check if something is working behind, but not.
Please let me know how to make this "Title" field visible in designer tool.
Its showing in the SharePoint form library but not in infopath designer(while editing).
My blog: http://sharepointr.com - ZedProg Profile

Hi ,
Could you provide a screenshot about your issue?
The list "Title" column could be displayed and customized in InfoPath Designer.
Please create a new list to customize with InfoPath Designer, see if it's this particular list issue.
Please make a copy of this problem list, then create a new "Text box" and bind the data source "Title" in InfoPath Designer for a test, see if this could work for you.

Illustrator Files in Bridge filename used in Title field

When annotating Illustrator files in CS3 Bridge, the original filename auto populates the "Title" field. Is there a reason for this and does anyone know of a workaround?
We are converting AutoCad files to AI for use in publications using Framemaker. Frame doesn't play very nice with AutoCad (reason for conversion).

This suggestion is just a shot in the dark, but check out edit>preferences>metadata. Could it have anything to do with the field "preserve filename"?

JQuery to set Title field to Name field in Document Library

I want to use some simple JQuery to populate the Title field of a document with the contents of the Name field. I am able to populate the Title field with basic text using:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('input[title=Title]').attr({value: 'Test'});
</script>
That works fine - but how can I change it to pass the contents of the Name field into the Title field? This code runs on the EditForm.aspx for the document library. Thanks!

Are you editing the webpart in visual studio and designing custom webpart?

Document Library set "Title" field automatically equal to "Name" field

Hi,
Is it possible to make Title field in document library automatically fill up with File name field?

Three ways you could do this really.
#1 - Write a custom event receiver using .NET
#2 - Write Javascript on the list form to update the field
#3 - Create a custom workflow that kicks in when new items are added or modified and that would set the field

Set version name from IPTC Title field?

I'm no AppleScript genius but I am sure there shouldn't be a whole lot of lines of code needed for me to grab a selection of images and change their version name to whatever the IPTC title field is.
basically right now the version names are messed up due to tampering but the IPTC metadata is fine, so i want the metadata to prevail over whatever aperture has as name & keywords.
Anyone got an idea of how to do this simply and quickly? I know I have a batch file renaming utility but I don't think that will help me in this case as aperture doesn't 'care' about file name does it?
This is on Aperture 3.5 (latest version)

Lightroom stores metadata in its own database, located:
[Username]/Pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom Database.lrdb (Mac OS) file.
[Username]/My Documents/My Pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom Database.lrdb (Windows) file.
This is different to CS5/Bridge where XMP sidecars contain the metadata for proprietary raw files and in others (DNG, Tiff, jpeg, PSD) it's contained in the XMP headroom within the image file.

Link Title field to custom display form in SharePoint 2013 blog site

Hi,
I have blog site in sharepoint 2013.
I want to display the item in read only view of the selected item.So I have created one custom display form.
Now I want to link this display form with the Title Field.
So that when user click on the title field, the display form should show to view only the item and if the user is approver, can approve also.
Please help me to achieve this.
waiting for your quick response.
Thank you!

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display custom display form when users click on the title field.
For achieving your demand, you need to implement an ihttpmodule and intercept the request. For more information, you can refer to the code as below:
private void context_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
HttpApplication application = sender as HttpApplication;
if (application != null && application.Context != null && application.Request != null)
HttpRequest request = application.Request;
HttpResponse response = application.Response;
if (request.Url.ToString().ToLower().Contains(http://yoursite/libraryname))
response.Redirect(newlocationurl);

IWeb leaves title field blank in podcast rss.xml

For some reason iWeb is not filling in the <title> field of my podcast's RSS feed which means that when I try to submit it to iTunes it is rejected for not having a title.
Is there a way to make iWeb add in the title to the feed after the podcast page has already been created? There are lots of entries already and I really don't want to have to go back and make a new page and re-enter them all from the beginning.
This is being published to .Mac via iWeb and I have my own domain that I've set up and am using.
Thanks.

Hi JJ,
I created my podcast successfully using iWeb (v. 1.1.2) and the title name was not an issue. When creating your page, i am guessing you used the podcast template??
If so, when inputting your own personal info, did you delete the text in the boxes and replace with yours, or did you delete the actual text boxes and create new ones?? I did find when publishing that if i created a new box, it would not work in the same way as the default boxes did. I think the default boxes are referenced in some way. Perhaps this is the issue??
Alternatively, you can locate the XML/RSS file related to your site (if you published to iWeb using a dotmac account it will be easy to find) and just input the title yourself by inputting *<title>YOUR TITLE</title>* below the <channel> tag.

Title field clearing / going blank on updates to Office 2010+ documents

Hi guys. I am having a problem where the Title property on a document (or more specifically any docx or xlsx document) using a certain content type is being made blank when a user edits the document. There are no event receivers and no workflows running
on the document. Here are the steps that recreate it for any document that uses my custom content type:
1) Upload a docx file into a library, populating the title field.
2) Check in.
3) Go to edit the item - in this case force check-out is in place so it checks out the document.
4) Change another property. Hit save.
5) The title field is now blank!
This only does it on my content type (or any that inherit from it), but I've tested it on 3 different servers with varying degrees of updates and it's the same result every time. There is nothing special about the content type (it inherits from Document)
and just has a few extra fields in it. I have not included the contents of the elements file used to define it for brevity but happy to provide if needed. Any ideas are welcome.
Many thanks,
Mike

That seems like it's defeating the purpose. First, we're on an Exchange server that is on our domain. Second, I'm trying to eliminate end-user input, this method would increase end-user input. Also, our Exchange server is 2003, from what
I'm reading here the autodiscover service wasn't added until Exchange 2007.

Copy keywords into title field, keep in keywords field

I have this script that works in cs5, but it is not working in CS6- I am going to try to modify it to copy the keywords into the title field, but also drop the ";" and replace with a ","
First, I can't get CS6 to run this code, though. Where is it wrong? Thank you for any suggestions-
#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
keysToDesc = MenuElement.create("command", "Keywords To Description", "at the end of Tools");
keysToDesc.onSelect = function () {
   keysToDesc();
function keysToDesc(){
    function getArrayItems(ns, prop){
var arrItem=[];
var items = myXmp.countArrayItems(ns, prop);
   for(var i = 1;i <= items;i++){
     arrItem.push(myXmp.getArrayItem(ns, prop, i));
return arrItem.toString();
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
var thumb = app.document.selections;
    for(var s in thumb){
if(thumb[s].hasMetadata){
        var selectedFile = thumb[s].spec;
var myXmpFile = new XMPFile( selectedFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);
var myXmp = myXmpFile.getXMP();
        var Keywords = getArrayItems(XMPConst.NS_DC,'subject').replace(/,/g,';')
         myXmp.deleteProperty(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description");
        myXmp.setLocalizedText( XMPConst.NS_DC, "description", null, "x-default", Keywords );
        if (myXmpFile.canPutXMP(myXmp)) {
        myXmpFile.putXMP(myXmp);
        myXmpFile.closeFile(XMPConst.CLOSE_UPDATE_SAFELY);
         } else {
xmpFile.closeFile();

There was no need to make a change as it extracts an array and this is converted to a string so that puts the commas inbetween.
A simple replace can add a space ....
#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
keysToTitle = MenuElement.create("command", "Keywords To Title", "at the end of Tools");
keysToTitle.onSelect = function () {
var sels = app.document.selections;
for(var a in sels){
md =sels[a].synchronousMetadata;
md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";
var Keys = md.Keywords.toString().replace(/,/g,', ');// Replace a comma with comma space
md.namespace = "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
md.title ='';
md.title = Keys;

SharePoint Content Query Web Part Title Field

SharePoint 2013
I have a custom list on another site within SharePoint. How do I bring in all the columns? I see the title field on the Edit Web Part, but no matter how hard I try, I can't get multiple columns to show up. Some of the Columns I am looking for from
the Custom List:
City
Vendor
Circuit ID
Thanks,

Amit,
Thanks for the links, but I am still missing something with the coding. I am following the first link you gave me.
These are the instructions from the page
In ContentQueryMain.xsl
Locate “ <xsl:template name=”OuterTemplate.CallItemTemplate”> “
Add:
<xsl:template name="OuterTemplate.CallItemTemplate">
<xsl:param name="CurPosition" />
<xsl:param name="LastRow" />
and add:
<xsl:when test="@Style='MyTask'">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="itemstyle">
<xsl:with-param name="CurPos" select="$CurPosition" />
<xsl:with-param name="Last" select="$LastRow" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:when>
Search:
<xsl:template name=”OuterTemplate.Body”>
And scroll down to add this line:
<xsl:call-template name="OuterTemplate.CallItemTemplate">
<xsl:with-param name="CurPosition" select="$CurPosition" />
<xsl:with-param name="LastRow" select="$LastRow"/>
</xsl:call-template>
What I don't know is where exactly to add the middle section in my xsl document. Here is what I think I should have. And the Circuit list below is another attempt at this too that has been unsuccessful.
<xsl:template name="OuterTemplate.CallItemTemplate">
<xsl:param name="CurPosition" />
<xsl:param name="LastRow" />
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="$BeginListItem" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@Style='NewsRollUpItem'">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="itemstyle">
<xsl:with-param name="EditMode" select="$cbq_iseditmode" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="@Style='NewsBigItem'">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="itemstyle">
<xsl:with-param name="CurPos" select="$CurPosition" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="@Style='NewsCategoryItem'">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="itemstyle">
<xsl:with-param name="CurPos" select="$CurPosition" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="@Style='MyTask'">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="itemstyle">
<xsl:with-param name="CurPos" select="$CurPosition" />
<xsl:with-param name="Last" select="$LastRow" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="itemstyle">
</xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:when test="@Style='CircuitList'">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="itemstyle">
<xsl:with-param name="CurPos" select="$CurPosition" />
<xsl:with-param name="Last" select="$LastRow" />
<xsl:with-param name="StartNewGrp" select="$StartNewGroup" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="$EndListItem" />
</xsl:template>
I think I am getting close and your help is much appreciated.

Add an auto incremental value to TITLE field.

Hi, i am currently working on a custom list in SharePoint 2010 and there is a title field. I would like to append an auto incremental variable to "Request" to make it look like:
Request 1
Request 2
Request 3
and so on...
As you can see below, i tried to use the calculated value Request+ID, but it didn't work out. So is there anyway to solve this problem?
<input name="ctl00$m$g_0bb0fcf5_65ea_4af9_ba76_7c0babad1a82$ctl00$ctl05$ctl00$ctl00$ctl00$ctl04$ctl00$ctl00$TextField"
type="text" value="[Request-]&[ID]"
maxlength="50" id="ctl00_m_g_0bb0fcf5_65ea_4af9_ba76_7c0babad1a82_ctl00_ctl05_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl04_ctl00_ctl00_TextField"
title="Title" class="ms-long ms-spellcheck-true" /><br />

Hi andylow,
You can also accomplish this without using a workflow but with a custom form on your list. To do this take the following steps:
Make sure that the title field of your list is not a required value
When you're in the list, click on the List tab in the ribbon
There select "Customize Form"
Your form will now open in InfoPath. In the right hand menu you will see all your data fields.
Make the Title number field "Read Only". To do this right click the field, select properties, click on the second tab and select Read Only
In the menu bar, click on Manage Rules
Now click the Data tab in the menu and select Sumit Options
In the menu that opens select the option to run rules before submit
Now there will be a button available in the menu for Submit Options, click on that
Now you can add rules and actions on the submit action
Create a new Action rule and call it Initial Save
As condition for the rule, set the condition that the Title field must be blank
The first action of the rule will be to Submit the form. When the form is submitted it will be assigned an ID, before that will be blank
Now add an Action to set a fields value.
Select the Title field as the field to set
You can set a hard coded value for the value to set but you can also click the function button, click on that
Now another window opens where you can add fields, functions etc.
Now first select the concat function from the function menu
Then double click the first link in the resulting function and type Request
Now double click the second link and select the ID field
Now get rid of the last remaining arguments in the concat function
Click OK until you're back in InfoPath
Now set one more action to submit the form again
Now ad a second rule and call that Edit
As condition for the rule, set the condition that the Title field must be not blank
Add the Submit Form action for this rule
Now you can publish your form with the Quick Publish button. This is a Blue circle with a white upward arrow and a lightning bolt next to the save button in the top menu bar.
Now when you add a new item and save it, the title will be set to Request&ID. When you edit the form no changes will be made.
Cheers,
Eduard Spelier

Retrieve Title field values from multiple lists and add into another list

Hi , Iam trying to retrieve Title field value from multiple lists. and add them into another list. using Javascript. Can any one help me in doing this. Below is the code.. function save() { clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current(); oWebsite = clientContext.get_web(); oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('MainList'); clientContext.load(oList); clientContext.executeQueryAsync(OnSucceeded, onQueryFailed); } function GetListItemValue(listName, fieldName) { var list = oWebsite.get_lists().getByTitle(listName); var eventValue = document.getElementById(fieldName).value; eventValue = eventValue.replace(",", ""); var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery(); var filterdata = '<view><query><where><eq><fieldref name="Title/"><value type="Text">' + myreqValue.trim() + '</value></fieldref></eq></where></query></view>'; camlQuery.set_viewXml(filterdata); listItems = list.getItems(camlQuery); clientContext.load(list); clientContext.load(listItems, 'Include(Id)'); clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Succeeded,Failed); } function OnSucceeded() { itemCreateInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation(); oListItem = oList.addItem(itemCreateInfo); oListItem.set_item('Title', 'My New Title'); var deptItemLookupField = new SP.FieldLookupValue(); //Problem in below line...I was unable to get ID var getId = GetListItemValue("Listname1", "txtboxname1"); alert("ID" + getId); if (getId != undefined) { deptItemLookupField.set_lookupId(getId); } var getId12 = GetListItemValue("Listname12", "txtboxname12"); alert("ID" + getId12); if (getId12 != undefined) { deptItemLookupField.set_lookupId(getId12); } oListItem.update(); clientContext.executeQueryAsync(itemadded, itemFailed); } function itemadded() { alert('Item added successfully'); } function itemFailed(sender, args) { alert('Item added itemFailed' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace()); }

For this requirement, you will need to retrieve all the lists objects you want firstly, then execute the requests one by one to get the value of the Title column using CAML or
