Attachments in document library sharepoint 2013

I have an document library I need to attach multiple documents for a same item .I know there is no option available for attachments in the document library of sharepoint 2013 ..
Is there any other way to attach multiple documents as a single document in the document library of sharepoint 2013 .
Thanks
Mohammad Arif

If you can use a list then you can attach multiple attachments to the list.

Multiple File Attachment Column in Document Library (SharePoint 2013)

Hi All,
As per default, i will have only one column to attach documents in Document Library . But i need to add multiple column for documents attachment in same row.
e.g. See below column
1)Project Name 2) Attachment 1 3) Attachment 2 4)Attachment 3 5)Attachment 4
Kindly help me for creating such column (Hope there should be any coding requirements)

Hi Vrij,
According to your issue what my understanding that if you need multi-document attachment is required then
then its not possible by default because As we had known, the Upload Multiple Documents option is deprecated in SharePoint Server 2013.
To work around this issue, my suggestion is do one of the following to upload documents to the SharePoint Server 2013 document library:
Use the Windows Explorer view
Use the SharePoint Server 2013 drag-and-drop functionality
http://www.learningsharepoint.com/2012/11/29/how-to-upload-multiple-documents-in-sharepoint-2013/
If you still want to use this function, there are some third-part software's you can have a look at.

Saving/Opening documents to SharePoint 2013 from within Office 2010 applications

I was hoping that Office 2010 would work nicely together in terms of saving to and opening documents from SharePoint 2013. Alas, I was disappointed and somewhat surprised to see that opening/saving documents in SharePoint from within Office still
involves copying, pasting and hacking the URL of the document library in the Save or Open dialogue box. I was fully expecting that Office 2010 would have display some sort of SharePoint navigation so you could view your sites and document libraries in a similar
way to folders. A mature document management system this ain't!
Anyone have any advice on how to improve the Open/Save to/from SharePoint experience in Office 2010? I'm open to the idea of Office add-ins whether third party or official Microsoft.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply, but that's from within SharePoint, not Office?
An example scenario: I create a new document or receive a document, I'm in the document, and I want to publish the document to a document library in SharePoint. At the moment I would have to save the document, load up SharePoint, navigate to the document
library and then go through the upload process.
I should really be able to, from within Word, select File - Save to SharePoint (say) and then be able to navigate to the document library I want to publish to. Really basic DMS stuff that I'm surprised isn't there!
Similar thing to opening a document. I should be able to Open from SharePoint, navigate to the document library via some sort of navigation box, and open it.
Thoughts appreciated.

Office Web Apps - Preview Sharepoint 2010 documents in Sharepoint 2013 Search Results...again

Hi,
I found a thread in this forum With an answere to a similiar question here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/28bc1e27-4a65-4c61-9b3e-cb9dad17f779/office-web-apps-preview-sharepoint-2010-documents-in-sharepoint-2013-search-results?forum=sharepointsearch&prof=required
...With the answere:
"OWA uses an access token to talk to SharePoint 2013. It cannot use this when talking to 2010. In order to work with 2010, you have to create a custom display template that converts the file url to an openurl link. "
BUT...
may anyone give more information how to do this?
Links to articles? Links to description and samples?
jik

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to preview documents from SharePoint 2010 in search results in SharePoint 2013.
Per my knowledge, the Office Web Apps is configured to work with SharePoint 2013, so it will not work with documents in SharePoint 2010.
I recommend to configure Office Web Apps to work with SharePoint 2010
and make sure that documents can be previewed in SharePoint 2010 using Office Web Apps to see if the documents can be previewed in SharePoint 2013 search result.

Word 2013 slow to open documents from SharePoint 2013

Hi all,
Word 2013 running on a Windows 8.1 client is take 2 or more minutes to open a document from SharePoint 2013. Excel takes less then 10 seconds from the same site in SharePoint.
I have remove all proxy configuration from IE, clear the Auto Detect Settings. Added the URL's to the intranet zone and disabled all IE addons. I have also performed a reset on IE, reinstall of Office and tried a number of workstations. All have the same
issue. The document just take forever to open.
Checking with Fiddler, I can see 3 requests hit the SharePoint server then nothing... after a few minutes the document opens.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Craig

Hi Craig,
For troubleshooting your issue, please take steps as below:
1.Open IE, go to "Tools > Internet Options > Connections > Lan Settings" and uncheck "Auto Detect Proxy".
2.From the File tab in Word application, select Options and then click on Advanced and then in the Display section of the dialog, check the box for
Disable hardware graphics acceleration.
3.Edit the registry at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\shell\Open and deleting the ddeexec key.
Also please have a look at the article:

Word Viewer will not open documents from Sharepoint 2013 in IE11

I've run into an issue while trying to open documents from SharePoint 2013 after upgrading to IE11. My organization uses Word Viewer with the compatibility pack and all other Word documents (local files, intranet hosted) will open with no problems. When
trying to open a Word document from SharePoint the Word Viewer will open, but the file does not. We have verified that all Windows Updates are installed. We have tried opening SharePoint in Compatibility View and Enterprise Mode. We have re-downloaded the
latest version of Word Viewer and reinstalled it along with the compatibility pack. If we open the SharePoint site in Explorer view and then open a Word document it will open in Word Viewer with no problem. Excel and PowerPoint documents open from SharePoint
with no problem. This is only affecting Word documents with Word Viewer. When using the full version of Word the documents open fine. Within SharePoint we have tried activating the site collection feature "Open Document In Client Applications by Default"
but it made no difference. We're completely at a loss how to make this work as there doesn't seem to be much information specifically pertaining to issues with Word Viewer.

Hi Victoria.
1. The PCs do not have Microsoft Office installed, nor are we using the Office Web Apps. "Word Viewer" means the Microsoft Word Viewer application available here (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4) that is available
free for read-only viewing of Word documents.
2. There are no errors when I open Word docs in Word Viewer. The Word Viewer application launches after clicking a Word document link in Sharepoint, but there is no file open in it. When that happens the IE11 Sharepoint window on the taskbar is flashing
yellow, but when I click back to it there are no messages or alerts to click on.
3. This issue does occur with all Word documents (.doc, .docx) in SharePoint. However, it does not occur when opening Word documents in the Word Viewer when they are local files or through IE11 from a non-SharePoint website like our local intranet.
Those files will open with no problem in Word Viewer.
4. I will try to get a screenshot, but we are working on creating images for deployment and I don't currently have a machine configured the same way. I'll work on reconfiguring one and post a screenshot.
Thank you for your help!

How can I Hide(not Disable) the Save As and Exit options in the File menu of Excel Documents in SharePoint 2013?

Hi,
I want to hide(not disable) the "Save As" and "Exit" options in the File Menu of Excel Documents in SharePoint 2013.When I make changes in the excelribbon.css file of xlviewer.aspx,all the options under File menu are getting hidden but
I want to hide only these two options while retaining the others.
Kindly suggest me a method to achieve this.
Looking forward to your reply at the earliest.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sanjana

Hi Sanjana,
To hide the “Save As” and “Exit” options in xlviewer.aspx page in SharePoint, I recommend to use the code below(however it is not recommended):
<style>
div.cui-menusection li.cui-menusection-items:nth-child(2)
display:none !important;
div#m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_menuJewelSaveAs{
display:none !important;
div#m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_msJewelSecondary{
display:none !important;
</style>
As “:nth-child()” selector is supported in IE 9 and later versions, please use IE 9 or later versions’ IE browser.

Sharepoint 2013, Document Library: Sharepoint is changing data in a single line of text column to ISO8601 after modifying other columns

Hello there,
basically, as the title says: We have a Document Library on a Sharepoint 2013. Attached to every document are multiple columns, the type for every column is 'Single line of text'.
One column is called 'billing date' and has suitable data in it, e.g. 01.01.2015, 26.02.2015, 29.03.2015 an so on.
Sometimes when someone is editing an other column of the same document the data in 'billing date' changes from 01.01.2015 to 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z for that document, seemingly randomly.
Is there any way to configure or prevent this?
Thanks in advance and kind regards,
Michael

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that SharePoint changes the format of date in single line.
It is very strange issue. I try to reproduce your issue in my environment, but everything is OK.
To solve your issue, I need to collect some information, please confirm these points below:
When will the format of date change? Does it change immediately when you edit the document or after clicking save button?
Does the issue occur in this document library or each one in your environment?
Do you have some special configurations for this document library?
In addition, could you provide a screenshot as below?

No email attachments to Document library when using data driven subscriptions

We have recently migrated to SharePoint 2013 and setup document libraries to publish reports to.
When we send an email with an attachment to the document library from a users mailbox, the document library acts as expected and detaches the email and publishes it to a subfolder inside the library. However when we schedule reports using data driven subscriptions
and add the email address as a CC, the subfolder gets created but there is no attachment.
What could cause this issue?
Thanks for your time

Hi WFN_Will,
regarding this issue, we don't know for sure, unless we trace the process,
do the attachment is not there, or when the attachment there the process was failed, or the target not able to receive the attachment?
from the description, seems the target and the process of receiving the attachment is ok, I guess you can start to check from this part:

Opening/Saving documents from SharePoint 2013 in Firefox/Chrome bypasses Check Out and Check In

My clients have an Office365 installation with SharePoint 2013.
When I navigate to the site in IE and click on a checked-in document, it opens in Microsoft Word with a message
Server document To modify this document you must check it out
with a Check Out button alongside.
However, if I navigate with Firefox or Chrome and click on the same link, it just downloads the document to the browser's default download location. If I then open the document in Word, there is no
Server document warning and it is entirely writeable and it's also lost its link to the document library.
Is the work-around for this that one cannot use Firefox or Chrome with SharePoint, or is there some setting in these browsers that will bypass the download and load the document directly into Word?
Thanks
Edward

Does anyone have a better fix for this? We are attempting to launch support for a second browser - Chrome - but because of the issue with Office 2010 on the clients, the protocol handler from Chrome fails to connect the requested document directly
to the MS Office app, but rather downloads the file. IE Tab is not an option because it then defeats the purpose of having Chrome altogether since it simply uses IE8's engine. IE8's performance with large lists on SharePoint 2013 as well as the
HTML5-based functionality is simply dreadful which is the primary driver for an alternative browser.
We are aware installing Office 2013 on a machine fixes it, but that is not an option due to the current licensing.
Hope for Chrome 31? Firefox seems to work fine in our testing, but the organization wants to go Chrome instead of FF.

Attachments in document library form or list form sent to another Document library on click without code

Hello,
I am trying to allow my users to use my form, fill out the fields, add attachments and then on button click the form will be attached to the document library (already done) and the attachments the user added will be automatically sent to another document
library so that I can send them to another location separately from the form.
So the sequence of events is:
User enters in data
User attaches documents
User submits data to document library
Attachments are sent to a separately document library
Unfortunately I can't use code to go about this so this leaves out the COM but is there an out of the box way to go about this?

Performance Assessment Document - Can Sharepoint 2013 be used?

I have been tasked to produce an 'electronic' version of staff performance appraisals. At present this is a Word template which is exchanged between the employee and the line manager, and then ultimately ending up as a HR record.
We have recently moved to office 365 and have SP 2013 online which I am still pretty new to, so Im just after a bit of guidance or advice if SP2013 is the right tool for the job?
There are the usual security hurdles which would be faced, but rather than just hash together a 'survey' which could be used, I wanted to compete a slick version of the document?
Any ideas or suggestions would be really helpful....?
Many thanks, Gary

Hi,
You need provide more specific information about your requirement if the below information is not enough.
If you want a document which is able to be edited among users, then SharePoint can do this. When you upload a document to SharePoint library, users with enough permission can view, edit the documents. You can also store, track, and restore documents
in a library whenever they change once you enable version function.
Organizations use SharePoint to create websites. You can use it as a secure place to store, organize, share, and access information from almost any device. The information could be in many formats such as office documents.
There are kinds of lists and libraries template by default for different use. For survey purpose, you can create a survery list and add questions in the list.

Cannot Open Previous Document Versions SharePoint 2013

Having a issue where opening a previous document version is not working in SharePoint 2013.
Have tried:
Multiple document librarys/documents (new ones too)
Multiple Site Collections
Multiple Web Applications
Multiple User Accounts
Multiple Computers / Versions of Word
Multiple Users
It makes no difference.
Cannot find anything in the logs, word just says:
Could not open 'https://site.domain.com/site/site/_vti_history/2/Library/test.docx'
Have tried with a versioned PDF document and it downloads OK.

Hi,
You mentioned this works fine externally. Internally are the sites HTTPS or HTTP?
If it is HTTP, what does the AAM map look like? If it’s HTTPS, where does SSL terminate on the NLB/TMG or on the servers?
You mentioned you tried on multiple web applications, did you try and create a brand new one using just a server name as the URL?
If so what was the behavior?
You should be able to find the error message in the ULS logs.
Check all the servers, maybe it’s an unexpected server. Also make sure that verbose logging is enabled.
