Architecture of sharepoint App office 365 questions
Hello,
This is my first foray into sharepoint hosted app for office 365. Basically just a List with some fields and lookup fields (cascading dropdowns) , the supporting lists for the lookups, and then another list with Children
documents of the first list.
So just taking it to the simplest terms a few lists what is the best way to build this? should I just create the lists and maybe a couple of content types manually in a site on office 365? Should I create an App that has the list
definitions, content Types, etc? Should I Create an app that has the content types and javascript necessary for the cascading dropdowns and then just create the list manually? I'm just trying to figure out what makes the most sense.
This is something we want everyone in company to use to submit requests for service so we don't want a bunch of instances of it all over our office 365 we just want to deploy it once. Also need to be able to update design easily.
So just being a newby to office 365 I'm trying to wrap my head around how I should put this together.
Thanks for any input,
Brad
If this is going to be an app that you want to maintain with new versions then you should create an app that provisions the lists and content types. This way you can make changes to lists, contentypes and site columns in later versions and leverage the O365
infrastructure to automatically update the existing apps. Some links are here:

Can I rename a site mailbox?
The display name of a site mailbox is the SharePoint team site display name. If you change the display name of the site in SharePoint, the display name also changes in Outlook. However, the site email address won’t be changed.

Lotus notes migration to SharePoint online Office 365
Hi there,
My organization is looking to migrate from Lotus notes to SharePoint Online Office 365 (SharePoint 2013).
We are doing this without any help of a tool.
I am going to create the wiki pages.
There are around 1600 pages which are interlinked and approximately 15 links on every page.
Is there any means I can automate the linking of wiki pages.
Can a workflow be written to do so..??
Please advise
Many thanks.Yes, this can be automated. However in doing so you're effectively building your own tool which will cost more than buying a pre-built one.
This isn't going to be possible with a SharePoint workflow. First you'll have to read the Lotus notes content, then you'll want to serialise that into a format for import and clean up any links or dead pages. Then you'll have to use the CSOM or REST
APIs to create, populate and publish those pages.
This won't be a quick task. -
Any way to get all users's user profile proeprty using CSOM c# for sharepoint online - office 365?
Since CSOM provides methods for operations related to people per
user scope, you could retrieve all site users first using SP.Web.siteUsers
property. and then use SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager.getUserProfilePropertyFor
Method to get property.

Generate reports from lists in SharePoint 2013 (Office 365)
Hello everyone,
We are in the need to generate reports from lists in SharePoint 2013. The reports would do data mingling between lists (like a relational database) and generate the reports in HTML and maybe a link to pdf on the SharePoint site.
We are currently generating reports in Access. This is an issue for two reasons:
Reports cannot be generated on the fly. Whenever we want reports in pdf form, we have to go into Access and run our reports macro written in VBA. It essentially generates the reports as pdf into our synced SkyDrive, which syncs it to our SharePoint site
Report generation cannot be done by the client. This is due to the same concept as (1). We need to generate reports in Access.
Is there any way to do this in SharePoint 2013? Are there any apps that do this?
Any guidance or help would be appreciated.
FYI: Our SharePoint server is hosted on the Office 365 network. It is not a local system.
ThanksOne option is to run the info into a Word Template and then run Word Automation Services to convert to PDF, but I think you're still going to run into some similar issues.

Deleting old survey responses from Sharepoint Online (Office 365)
We have an Office 365 implementation and are utilizing the hosted SharePoint to collect survey responses using the default survey app. We continually collect survey responses, but only want to have up to date information. Is it possible to automatically
delete survey responses older than a specified number of days?

Hi,
I get the above error whenever I try to save a new WorkFlow. I have cleared the caches
<user profile>\appdata\roaming\microsoft\SharePoint Designer\ProxyAssemblyCache
<user profile>\appdata\local\microsoft\websitecache\<sitename>, and
I still get the same issue.
We are using SharePoint Designer 2013 (15.0.4569.1503) and connecting to SharePoint 2013 on Office 365.
Can you please provide more insight?
Thanks.Hi Rake,
You can compare your PC and another machine which is working, see if it is related to IE settings(e.g. SharePoint urls in trusted sites zone).
And you can try re-install the SharePoint Designer 2013 with same version and bit-version(32/64) on your PC like another machine, then check again.
Thanks,
Daniel Yang

My client recently upgraded 3 Windows 7 PCs (2-32 & 1-64-bit OS) from Office 2007 32-bit (which was actually working fine against Exchange/SharePoint Online) to Office Home and Business 2013 (32-bit)
Now, for all 3 PCs, while Office 2013 Word/Excel can open, check out/in, and save SharePoint Online files, there is ALWAYS a 2 minute delay in closing the file which is apparently waiting for the Local Security Authority call to return. This seems
to indicate an issue related to SharePoint security on the client side.
Problem Event Name: AppHangXProcB1
Application Name:
WINWORD.EXE
Application Version:
15.0.4657.1000
Waiting on Application Name:
lsass.exe:lsasspirpc
This is the Local Security Authority Security Support Provider Interface Remote Procedure Call (LSA SSPI RPC)
My client has 66 licenses for SharePoint Online (Plan 2) and 73 Exchange Online (Plan 1) "stand alone" services. The same failure is happening on 3 Win 7 PCs. All of which I've carefully reviewed against the MS Office trouble shooting guides (start
Windows OS w/out non-MS services, Word/Excel safe mode w/out add-ons, O365 readiness checks, Office repair, etc.). We have PCs running Win 7 (32 & 64-bit) w/Office 365 ProPlus & Office Professional Plus 2013 that work fine. it's JUST these 3 Win 7
PCs that were upgraded from Office 2007 to Office Home and Business 2013 that have the 2 min. SharePoint file close time.
Can you please confirm that Office Home and Business 2013 is compatible w/SharePoint Online
at least for Excel and Word?
The "slow close" problem can be demonstrated on multiple site collections/sub sites and w/Excel & Word docs in doc libs and lists
After many hours capturing information, following the MS Office trouble shooting guides, and repairing the Office install, I've had no luck in resolving this.While Word/Excel will eventually close SharePoint Online files after about
2 minutes, this is certainly unacceptable. Otherwise, locally stored files close normally and new files were created by the Office 2013 Excel/Word for this testing.
Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated.Hi raygabe,
I couldn't find the document mentioned there is any compatibility between Office365 SharePoint online and Office Home and Business 2013 version, I would recommend that you check if the issue could be reproduced on other Win7 machines installed with Office
Home and Business 2013 installed directly instead of upgrading from Office2007, see if issue is related to Office application upgrade.
I also recommend that you post this issue on our dedicated Office365 SharePoint online forum and Office 2013 forum for a better assistance with more experts regarding this issue from the following links.

SharePoint 2013 Office 365 REST api - filter by FileDirRef
Hi,
We are using following REST call to query items from a document library and filter by
FileDirRef. When we include the filter for FileDirRef, no items are returned from Office 365 sites. The same call/filter works fine on a local SharePoint 2013 box.
https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/abc/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('DocumentLibrary')/items?$Select=FileDirRef,FileLeafRef&$filter=startswith(FileDirRef,
'/sites/abc/DocumentLibrary/folder1')
Why is filter by FileDirRef not working in Office 365 sites? Are we missing anything ?
ThanksHi Sandhya,
What is your goal?
If you want to use RESET API to get files in a folder of a document library, I suggest you use
http://site url/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/Folder Name')/Files.
More information about working with folders and files with REST, please refer to the link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn292553(v=office.15).aspx
In addition, this forum supports for SharePoint 2013 On-premises, for your issue, I suggest you create a new thread on Office 365 forum, more experts will assist you with Office 365.
