Colunms display in document Library

Hi All,
Is there any way to add a column to a document library which displays " Last Modified By " (metadata) from MS Office files just like the " Author " (metadata) column?
I'm trying to add a column to a document library in SP 2010 which would view the " Last Modified By " from " Related People "
field of MS Office files (Word, Excel, Power Point and Access). The " Modified By " column in SP 2010 only displays the last person's name who uploaded the file and not neccessary modified it.
Cheers,
Brad

Hi Brad,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to add a column in SharePoint library to store the user who last modified the documents.
Per my knowledge, we cannot add a column to read the Last Modified By of the document by OOB way when uploading the document to SharePoint.
The Modified By column in SharePoint will store the user who last modifies the document after the document is uploaded to the library. When a user modifies the document which has been uploaded to SharePoint, the value of the Modified By column will change
to the user.
Best regards.
Thanks

Display a document library view on a subsite

Hi
I have SharePoint 2013 On-Premise and I would like to display a document library from the top level site in a subsite. This subsite will then be saved as a template and used to create other subsites.
For example,
I have a site called Site 1. In Site 1 there is a document library called doclib1. Site1 also has a subsite called subsiteA.
I would like to display a view from doclib1 in subsiteA. SubsiteA will then be used as a template to create subsiteB, subsiteC etc.
I have tried a few things but these have not worked or I am not doing it correctly. Here is what I have tried
Copied doclib1 code from site1 to subsiteA using SPDesigner. I get the error "List does not exist......"
Used a Content Query Webpart. I get the error "Something went wrong"
Used a Data view web part. The complete page was displayed. I only want the view
Although it looks possible, I do not know how to take this forward. All I need is to display generic documents on each subsite that can be modified from one location.

Hi,
To get the custom field in the search filter. You need to follow these steps.
Go to the Search schema from the Manage Service Applications -> Search Service Application in Central Administration
Create a Managed property for your field (Category)
Map the crawl property to the Managed property.
Once managed property created, run the full crawl.
Once full crawl executed, you are able to get your filter property in the search filter.

Even though 2010 article, for 2013 steps are same.

Display a document library from the top site on a subsite

I want to display a document library located on the top site in a webpart located on a subsite.
I've found different solutions in 2010 but none of them have been possible to achive in 2013.
The only way that i've got it working in 2013 is described in
this Stackexchange-post, however this solution will give the webpart it's own ribbon inside of the webpart-frame.
Im wondering whether it's possible to achieve this in 2013 OOTB.
Kr, Rasmus

Depends, you could use the content search web part to dipslay the document lbirary, bit in that case the result is limited to what's already indexed.

How do document permissions differ from its document library and a content roll-up webpart?

I have an excel spreadsheet (a group schedule), in a document folder, on a page that only IT management can see/access/edit, in a site that all IT group members have access to.
for example: http://IT Group site/IT Management Page/Schedule/2015.xlsx
On the group's homepage, I have a content roll-up web part that displays all document library contents in the group site.
IT management consists of 3 people. They can all edit the spreadsheet from the original location, but when they access the document from the content roll-up web part on the group's homepage, they cannot save any changes.
Accessing the file from here: http://IT Group site - content roll-up web part link "2015.xlsx" points to "IT Group site/IT Management Page/Schedule/2015.xlsx"
The error received says "'http://IT Group site/IT Management Page/Schedule/2015.xlsx' is read-only. To save a copy, click OK, then give the workbook a new name in the Save As dialog box."
Where would the permission issue be?
As the SharePoint site owner, I can access the file without any problems saving from either location. Also, I created an IT Management group that has full control over the IT Group site/IT Management Page, and full control over the IT Group site.
Thanks for any info you can share.
Stephanie

Thanks Cameron -
I have no special settings on the document library where the schedule is saved. No content approval necessary or different permissions. The library is set to open documents in client application, and check-in, check out is not activated.
I have logged in to one of their computers. They can access the spreadsheet directly from the document library and make changes freely, and save that version directly to the server, but not from any web parts. Just to test, I created a summary link web part
on the same page that lists the document library, created a link to the file, and the file opens, but they cannot save any changes without renaming the file. The only place they can truly edit the spreadsheet without renaming is from the document library
directly.

Creating a Folder Within Form or Document Library & Display the name not in the name column.

I have created a form library that will used to create folders within that. The folder creation is done using an InfoPath Form that has been uploaded to the Form Library. When the new folder was created the name will be displayed at the Name column within
the Form Library. I want to change that to another column like documents or suchlike.
Can it be done using InfoPath 2010 VSTA C# or not? If their are other options available please could you try to inform me!
Thank You,
Chiranthaka

Hi,
If you want to show the name of folder in another column, a workaround is that you can create an extra column, then create a SharePoint Designer workflow to set the value of
this column with the name of folder.
Here is a link about Create Workflow using SharePoint Designer and set field value for your reference:

Displaying Document Name With The Summary in a Single Column Using Document Library View.

Hi All,
I have a question that relates to SharePoint Document Library Views. I want to view the Documents name with the summary in a single column. Below image shows an example of it. I need this within a SharePoint Document Library. Also I want the height of the
row to be increased more than the default height. I cannot figure it out how to do that? Could you someone help me to do this. I have inserted the Document Library as an App Part to the page.
So could you someone help me to solve this matter?
Thanks and regards,

HI Chiranthaka,
You can create DataView webpart using SPD and then modify the display template according to your need.

How to alter the display names of grouped items in a document library?

Very odd issue I want to sort items in a document library by the value in a field, that is no problem. The issue is I want them display NOT in alphabetical order for example I have a list that is grouped into 3 groups (Cases, Forms and Support). When you
look at the page they are grouped in alphabetical order from top to bottom, I want them to show up as (Cases, Support and Forms). I tried creating column with with a value 1,2 or 3 with the "3" value attached to "Forms" items and the "2"
to the "Support" item them sort per Grouped value and that works BUT the grouped names appears as "1" "2" or "3". I need them to show as (Cases, Support Forms).
I was wondering if there is syntax to alter the display name while editing within Designer similar to the syntax used to change the display name of a long hyperlink when quoting it in an email or forum submission??
I want:
<FieldRef Name= "Grouping"/> to diplay the three groups by names other than the values in that column, the display names.

Document library items are not displaying in sorted order in sharepoint 2013

Hi,
I have a document library , I am storing document sets on it.
28326 items are there in the library.
I have configured sort on Name columns. Initially items are displaying in sorted order like (A,B,C,D,E...)
Now Items are not displaying in a sorted order it is displaying like (A, B,C,D,E,A,C...) like this.
Please help me on this sorting issue.
Thanks,
Samir

Are the documents displaying in your image inside the document sets? If so then your sets (folders) are displaying in alphabetical order and the documents inside the sets are displaying in alphabetical order. This is what i would expect.

Display notification when a document is uploaded to document library on Homepage

How can i display notification on homepage when a document is uploaded to document library in SharePoint 2013.

Hi,
I think this will work for your requirement.(I am assuming Notification should be visible to all the users).
1. Create 1 Custom List (say "Notifications").
2. Add Event Receiver on your document Library and Whenever a new document is uploaded by using Event Receiver update the same in "Notifications" List.
3. By using ECMA Script ,you can read the List Items and bind .
(or)
you can achieve the same from the document library it selft , why list is for future enhancements.
Please share your views.

Using Visio Web Access Web Part to dynamically display visio drawings in document library according to which folder a user is viewing

I have a document library web part in SharePoint 2010. There is also a Visio Web Access Web Part on the same site, side by side with the doc lib. In the folder structure of the document library web part (it is pretty complex and a few levels deep),
each folder contains one and one only Visio diagram. I want the Visio web access web part to display the visio drawing that exists in what ever folder the user is currently browsing. For example.. if the file structure is as follows below and a user clicks
on folder A from the list I would like the Visio Web Access web part to display the visio diagram that lives in folder A. Same for any folder at all anywhere in the structure that the user is viewing, dynamically changing as the user browses the directory.
Is this possible?
1.0 Folder A
1.1 Word Doc
1.2 Visio Doc
1.3 Folder a.1
    1.3.1 Word Doc
    1.3.2 Visio Doc
    1.2.3 PDF Doc
    1.2.4 Folder
2.0 Folder B
2.1 Word doc
2.2 Visio doc
2.3 pdf doc
2.4 Folder B.1

Got this to work. Made a new data view in a designer for document library. Created parameter and used it to filter the data view. Then I connected the visio's shape data to the parameter and OOB sorting and filtering works as expected.

How to List view web part to display document library for only users with access permission

Hi
I am trying to accomplish this requirement but I don't know if that is possible or how to get there. Any suggestion or advice are helpful.
On a site collection, I have several document libraries, with each library have unique permission to a few user or SharePoint group.
I want to create a web part page and make that the site home page. On this web part page, I want to create a Content Search Web Part to list the content of the document library that the logged on users have permission to see.
Is this possible with CSWP or is there anything easier or if it is not possible at all, please advise.
Thanks
Swanl

Hi ,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to create a Content Search Web Part to list the documents that the logged on users have access permission.
It is feasible with CSWP, you can follow the below step:
Edit Content Search Web Part->Change query-> Select a query: Items matching a content type (System); Restrict by app: Current site collection; Restrict by content type: Document.

How to display the thumbnail view of the documents in Sharepoint Document Library

Is there a way that we can have the thumbnail view of the documents that are uploaded in SharePoint Document Library. We have thumbnail feature in Picture Library but can we have the same in Document Library too. Documents includes Words,Excel,PDF.
Any Suggestions Please

Hey Mike,
Good post, I'd be curious to see if anyone has used the GD Picture SDK with SharePoint, maybe there would be some sample code.
Hey Kukdai,
Developing your own solution would potentially provide a better way to accomplish your task, but before setting out on that long road you may want to try the simple customization, it's less time consuming and it will help gauge your customer's interest and
support.
Also, there is a wealth of open source code for SharePoint available on CodePlex, you might want to check that out as well. Here is the linK:

Also, here is an interesting project to consider for your task:

I hope that helps!

The way SharePoint open office documents will differ if the user try to open them from the document library directly, or if users try to open the document from the search result page.

I have a document library where I have uploaded an excel sheet to it. Now If I click on the excel sheet directly from the document library page , I will get the following error ““The webpage cannot be displayed””. While if I do a search and I open the excel
sheet from the search result page , it will open the excel sheet using the excel services inside the browser !!.
So can anyone advice on this ?
Also if I have a PowerPoint document , and I try to open it from the document library I will get the following error “The webpage cannot be displayed” , and the URL will be prefix with the following “ms-powerpoint:ofv|u|”. while if i do a search and i open
the PowerPoint from the search result page i will be prompted to either open or save the document ? So why SharePoint is reacting totally different when trying to open document library items from the document library Or from the search result page?

Hi,
The behavior in the document library could be probably because of the Documents handling setting. Please try setting it to default behavior (Open in browser) as i hear from you that the default behavior is to open from browser.
Thanks, Suneetha
Currently I have set the following;-
1. On the library advance setting :- I define “Open in the client application”
2. On the web application setting:- I define stricked for Browser File Handling
And I have noted if I delete the browser cache and I access the document , then I will be prompted with the download dialog. but if I re-click on the same document I will be redirected to the
The webpage cannot be displayed
And the ms-powerpoint:ofv|u| will be added to the beginning of the URL. So could this be a caching problem ?
