Announcing files without using eMail

Hi everyone
I am quite  new to SharePoint 2013, so please bear with me.
What I want to do is simply to post a hyperlink of a document I have created to a group of colleagues.
I thought about just setting up a blank site, and only using the Announcement Web App, but I cannot seem to see how to display a hyperlink.
Please let me know if I am approaching this the wrong way.
Many thanks
Richard

Thank you Mike for some great suggestions, I will certainly try these out, although I am limited to certain activities, especially any type of searching, as apparently my developer tells me  "SharePoint
2013 has a known issue where the content crawling service cannot crawl sites
that are using SAML based authentication. (The crawling service effectively
simulates a user browsing the site, and indexes the content found, but isn’t
intelligent enough to follow the necessary redirects and form posting that
occurs with ADFS)"
The other limitation is that it will not be myself adding these Hyperlinks, it will be a group of Teachers who have limited technical ability, so any solution I come up has to be easy to master.
Quite simply, the Head Teacher just wants to set a process where new documents can be announced to all teachers in the form of a single webpage, solely showing a list of hyperlinks in chronological order, so a one stop place where everyone can see the
lastest documents added.
As mentioned earlier, I need to find a simple way to achieve this so that those of a limited technical capacity can still add hyperlinks to this dedicated site.
Thank you Mike, any further advice will certainly be appreciated.

  • Export table data in a flat file without using FL

    Hi,
    I am looking for options where I can export table data into a flat file without using FL(File Layout) i.e., by using App Engine only.
    Please share your experience if you did anything as this
    Thanks

    A simple way to export any record (table/view) to an csv fiel, is to create a rowset and loop through all record fields, like below example code
    Local Rowset &RS;
    Local Record &Rec;
    Local File &MYFILE;
    Local string &FileName, &strRecName, &Line, &Seperator, &Value;
    Local number &numRow, &numField;
    &FileName = "c:\temp\test.csv";
    &strRecName = "PSOPRDEFN";
    &Seperator = ";";
    &RS = CreateRowset(@("Record." | &strRecName));
    &RS.Fill();
    &MYFILE = GetFile(&FileName, "W", %FilePath_Absolute);
    If &MYFILE.IsOpen Then
       For &numRow = 1 To &RS.ActiveRowCount
          &Rec = &RS(&numRow).GetRecord(@("RECORD." | &strRecName));
          For &numField = 1 To &Rec.FieldCount
             &Value = String(&Rec.GetField(&numField).Value);
             If &numField = 1 Then
                &Line = &Value;
             Else
                &Line = &Line | &Seperator | &Value;
             End-If;
          End-For;
          &MYFILE.WriteLine(&Line);
       End-For;
    End-If;
    &MYFILE.Close(); You can of course create an application class for generic calling this piece of code.
    Hope it helps.
    Note:
    Do not come complaining to me on performance issues ;)

  • Upload file without using file upload UI Element

    Hi all.
    I need upload a .txt file without using file upload UI Element because filename is not insert by user. The filename is generated by program. I try to use 'GUI_UPLOAD' and 'WS_UPLOAD' but don't work.
    Many thanks in advance.

    As you correctly pointed out we cannot use the gui_upload and gui_download fm's in webdynpro because they require sap gui and WD Components generally run in a HTML or Portal environment.
    The only option available is File Upload Element

  • Embed flash file without using IFrame UI

    Hi all,
    Can any one tell me how i can embed flash file without using IFrame UI ?

    Hi
    To run a flash file you will definetely need a platform for which you need a shockwave player or a simple browser window. From webdynpro, the purpose of making it run through a IFrame is at runtime, the frame acts as a window for the flash file to run. Hence its the direct option of running it. Otherwise, you need to use a external window to invoke it seperetely in a browser window to run the file.
    If you have any specific issues, do let us know, or else its the best option @!
    thanks

  • Embed  html file without using IFrame UI

    Is there any way to embed html file without using IFrame UI?

    Hi
    To embed a static HTML content inside your view, Iframe is the easiest form or else, you can provide links through Linktourl UI or through a static text or a button, invoke a action and display the HTML content inside the frame or call it in a seperate (external) window.
    Otherwise, we have only less options!
    if you have anything specific, do let us know

  • How can I copy and paste a long page here without using email?

    How can I copy and paste a long page without using email?

    Thanks for replying. Actually I want to copy/paste a recipe from a website so I can keep the recipe. On p 39 it tells how to copy/paste, which I do a lot already, but it doesn't tell where to paste it so I can access or print it whenever I want. It's kind of a long recipe. Too long to type out. Any ideas for that?

  • I am wondering if there is a way to validate XML file without using .......

    I am wondering if there is a way to validate XML file without using the <!DOCTYPE... but pass in the location of the schema/DTD file as a parameter to a validating method?
    thanks

    None that I know of. The only thing close is to use the EntityResolver interface where you can modify the location of the DTD file before it's being loaded and parsed, but that requires a <!DOCTYPE ...> in the XML file.
    Good luck.

  • Is it possible to create .ncd file without using MAX?

    Is it possible to create .ncd file without using MAX? I am trying to read the data given by hundreds of possible Arb. IDs on one of the CAN port without having to create it from the MAX.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    the NI-CAN driver software does not provide functions/VIs to generate
    *.ncd files. However the *.ncd file format is just plain XML (ASCII text). Take a
    look at the example.ncd file that gets installed with NI-CAN
    (<ProgramFiles>\National Instruments\NI-CAN\):
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <nican_config version="0.1">

    Thus, you could generate *.ncd files with simple file I/O. Having XML-specific file I/O functions simplifies this task.

  • Can I access time capsule file without using imac

    can I access time capsule file without using imac

    From a time machine backup? No. If you mean just a regular file stored on there? Not directly. There are a couple of apps out there where you can indirectly get to a file but it's a pain. If you have need of accessing a file both from the mac and the iPad then I suggest DropBox. You get 2GB free and it's a good way to share information between machines and devices.

  • Best way to transfer files without using migration assistant

    upgrading from snow leopard to mavericks goes ok, but migrating files hangs with "less than a minute to go". What is the best way to transfer user files without using migration assistant?

    I keep backups of essential documents in Dropbox, and then the files can sync when I reinstall Dropbox.
    For larger collections of files, for example, my Documents folder, or iTunes or iPhoto libraries, I transfer them from a Time Machine Backup- just by going into the backup manually and restoring the folders.
    If you have files that can fit on a flash drive, then you can use that, which is very fast.

  • How to get the update file without using Nokia Sof...

    The network connection is unreliable and downloading the firmware update using PC Suite for my Nokia E90 proves difficult. Does anyone know how I can get the firmware version 300.34.84?
    The trouble is Nokia's Software Updater does not accommodate any slight interruption to the connection during the update process. I will update this discussion with what version of PC Suite I have once I get that info.
    Any help is kindly appreciated

    In fact, it is not Possible to get the update file without using Nokia Software Updater or you should search the net to find the update files in another place and even you get them, you can not use them with NSU.
    You can Update your Device with:
    1 - NSU (Nokia Software Update)
    2 - FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) for FP2 devices ONLY.
    3 - Nokia Care Center
    there is not other way to upgrade.
    Hope useful for u.
