Could use some help for creating KPI for Created SharePoint 2010 List Items

Hello All,
I am using PPS and connecting to an SP 2010 List as a Datasource.  I'd like to create KPI's against the List showing how many items each individual has created (using the Created column) and set a goal with Indicators showing visual performance (Red,
Yellow, Green).
Any guidance is much appreciated!

I concur with Scott.  Check your Recycle Bin and then also check the Site Collection Recycle Bin.  Once deleted from there, it should free up space.
As far as the database side of things go, the database would have grown to accommodate the larger list.  If you're trying to recover space on that side of the equation, you'll need to conduct a shrink operation against the database in question.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

  • Could use some help on positioning images

    With help here, I'm making my way through ID novice to ID "dangerous". I sorta get layout and sorta get styling and now could use some help with sizing and positioning images.
    The test is a 3-column newspaper that I let ID size when the document was created. All the text frames are linked. I now want to put some images on the pages and have the text wrap. I sorta understand wrapping and anchoring, the question is sizing.
    Am I on the right path to start thinking that images often need to be sized to a column width or two (plus gutter)? If so, do I size images based on the frame size? For example, the columns show as 3.2222in and the gutter as .1667. Does that mean I want to set the image width to 3.2887 or are things just not that accurate? What are the best practices?
    One related question on wrapping: it seems like anchoring the image allows wrapping around only one frame of text but not the other if the image spans two text columns. How do you place and image so that it wraps text in more than one column?
    Also, do people make the image smaller than the frame to put a border in when wrapping text?
    Thanks
    Tom

    Are you asking about image size as it is saved, or as placed on the page?
    With older RIPS it was common to want to save images at the correct dimensions so when placed at 100% they would have the correct resolution. This was to reduce processing time. Today that is less of an issue and it is not at all unusual to scale images in the InDesign layout. (I'm talking raster here -- vector objects can be scaled almost infinitely.)
    So, what is the correct size? There are a number of rules of thumb, but the basic one is that images should be placed so that the resolution, at the size they will be printed, is twice the value of the linescreen being used. Anything in the range of 1.5 to 2.5 is probably acceptable, and I know people who routinely send images at 1.4 times the linescreen.
    For coated papers and reasonably good reproduction, 150 lpi is not unusual, with 200 lpi for fine art books, so you get the common suggestion that images should be 300 ppi. Newspaper printing is usually accomplished on fairly porous stock at much lower screen frequencies -- 80 to 100 lpi -- so you need considerably less image resolution.
    How do you know what the resolution is at the size you've place the image? Look at the info panel with an image selected. You'll see too numbers, an "actual" ppi and an "effective" ppi. The actual number is simply the resolution recorded with the image at its dimensions when it was saved (and digital cameras often save images 20 inches or so wide at 72 ppi) and is basically irrelevant. The effective ppi is the one that matters. If it's too small, either reduce the size of the image on the page, or be prepared to live with less than stellar reproduction. If it's grossly over the requirement it usually won't hurt except for some increased processing time, but the extra image data won't improve things as it gets discarded by the RIP.
    It's usually OK to downsample an image in Photoshop, though you will sometimes lose fine detail or subtlety in shading, but you'd probably lose the same things through scaling in ID. Upsampling never helps.
    I presume you know that you can place graphical objects in several ways, either into an existing frame, at full size (whatever that happens to be and at the "actual" resolution) by clicking the loaded cursor on an empty spot on the page, or you can click and drag a new frame the size you want. When an image is first placed it will always be "actual size" unless some scaling factor has been applied to the frame in advance, so you may not see the entire image. You then have several fitting options available to either make the frame fit the image or the image fit the frame (and in newspaper work you pretty much only want to fit to or fill the frame proportionally).
    I personally like keeping the images snapped to the column grid, but it's by no means an iron-clad rule. You want to avoid situations, though, where an image impinges on a column to the point that the remaining text is unworkably narrow.
    I don't know why you are using anchored frames for your images (text wrap only affects text in the frame after the anchor point). It's not likely in a newspaper that you would want the pictures to move on the page if you edit the text. You can group the image, caption and story, if you like, so that they all stay together if you need to re-arrange the page or move them to a new location.
    I don't know if I answered your question. Feel free to come back for clarification.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Pages for the iPad and Pages for a Mac are completely different, so you have to purchase them twice, one for the iPad and another one for the Mac. The only advantage is that, if you buy another iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, you will be able to install Pages for free on all of them.
    As you are running Mac OS X 10.6.8 on the MacBook, you can't purchase Pages from the App Store, so you have to buy iWork '09 on a DVD on Amazon or eBay in order to install it

    THANK YOU/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png so the tolerance makes it not care so much about the gradations in color? what else is tolerence good for?
    I have a cleaner copy now after someone suggested GIMP, so played with it last night - though couldn't figure out transparency - that was clear on converter- just not cooperative till these wonderful directions.
    So now I know how to do it without messing with the pic, and with messing with it - both good lessons and got a bit brighter color out of the deal.
    many thanks for the straightforward and clear directions, they worked perfectly/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png extra strars for you/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png

  • I could use some help with my html5 and my video

    Hello all.
    I've been reading up and working on my video issue for days.  I feel like I'm very close.  ANY help would be huge.
    I've got two websites.  Both of which have videos which my clients wants to be about to see on his mac, his PC and his iPhone and iPad.  He's a multi-platform guy living in a multi-platform world.
    The first website, has two videos on it.
    http://www.ftworthfoundation.com/index2.html
    It is very close to working... I can view all videos locally on safari and firefox.
    However remotely I cannot see any videos with firefox.
    Remotely- I can see all videos with Safari and IE and 1 video on the homepage with my iPhone.  My first thought on this was that the video which wouldn't play was too large.  I read somewhere that the iPHone will not load anything over 20MB... the .m4v was 33MB so I cut it down to about a 3rd of the size and re uploaded it (at 6.6MB) but it will still not play on my iPhone
    here is my code for the videos.  The video is formatted in .ogg, .mp4, .m4v and .flv... all videos are uploaded to the root directory.
    <div id=Video1>
         <video controls width=448>
            <source src="excel_Construction_Commercial.ogg" type="video/ogg" />

    Hi David.
    Thanks for the reply.  I am definitely moving the right direction.
    I have changed my extensions but the video will still not play remotely.  It does play locally.

    I'm thinking I have a MIME type issue as I read this article online.
    Here is a link
    http://diveintohtml5.org/video.html
    It's a great website for anyone looking to understand how to create and export video to html5.
    Anyway here is the section of article I'm interested in.
    What’s the proper MIME type? You’ve already seen it; it’s part of the value of the type attribute on a <source> element. But setting thetype attribute in your HTML markup is not sufficient. You also need to ensure that your web server includes the proper MIME type in the Content-Type HTTP header.
    If you’re using the Apache web server or some derivative of Apache, you can use an AddType directive in your site-wide httpd.confor in an .htaccess file in the directory where you store your video files. (If you use some other web server, consult your server’s documentation on how to set the Content-Type HTTP header for specific file types.)
    Can anyone tell me how to change my MIME type? I can see my .htaccess.html file and I tried adding in
    AddType video/ogg .ogv
    AddType video/mp4 .mp4
    AddType video/webm .webm
    But the server will not let me upload the new .htaccess file.  So I cannot change it.
    I'm using GoDaddy and have complete admin rights rights as far as I can tell.
    Again.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Could use some help on PSE6 vs. iPhoto

    I'm not interested in starting a thread of just preferences between PSE6 and iPhoto (or any other utility for that matter). What I am interested in is some feature comparison that can help me decide which (if either) to use to organize my photos.
    Some of my photos are in iPhoto and others are not. I'm in the middle of a cleanup of my Mac and getting the photos organized is part of the journey. I'm a little frustrated looking at iPhoto data files since I get data, the images, thumbs and, in some cases, a folder caller "originals". It seems I have a bit of work to find which file goes with which iPhoto entry.
    My config already has PSE6. I also have CS2 on my PC laptop.
    A friend said he uses Bridge and, in his case, an organizer from Nikon (his camera manuf.). I happen to have a couple small Canon's.
    Any general guidelines for deciding on the best strategies for organizing and should/could PSE6 play a role?
    Thanks

    I read your post on another thread about picking Bridge or iPhoto, but not both. As you mentioned, with iPhoto integrated with other OS X apps it probably makes sense to use if fully on the Mac.
    I started a thread on getting some help in figuring out which files and folders were iPhoto's (I've made quite a mess over the years). IP6 just asked me to do some sort of re-indexing (which I let it do) and now I have empty folders, etc. in the Pictures and iPhoto folder.
    Thanks again for taking the time to post. I'm at such a starting point that ever bit helps.

  • Could Use some help...

    Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone would help me with this strange little problem I'm having.
    I'm 15 and taking a Java class at the local community college, and our current assignment is to make a String class for java. anyway, here is my string class:
    public class myString {
        private final int MAX = 50;
        private char[] mystr = new char[MAX];
        //constructors
        public myString() {
            char[] defstr = {'d', 'e', 'f', 'a', 'u', 'l', 't'};
            mystr = defstr;
        public myString(String str) { setStr(str); }
        public myString(char[] carray) { setStr(carray); }
        public myString(myString anotherStr) {
            mystr = anotherStr.get();
        //setters
        public void setStr(String str) {
            mystr = str.toCharArray();
        public void setStr(char[] carray) {
            mystr = carray;
        //others stuff:
        public char[] get() { return mystr; }
        //the lefts(maybe I did too many O_o):
        public char left(char[] carray) { return carray[0]; }
        public char left() { return mystr[0]; }
        public char[] left(char[] carray, int n) {
            char[] leftstr = new char[MAX];
            System.arraycopy(carray, 0, leftstr, 0, n-1);
            return leftstr;
        public char[] left(int n) {
            char[] leftstr = new char[MAX];
            System.arraycopy(mystr, 0, leftstr, 0, n-1);
            //System.out.println(leftstr);  <- this gave me a good report.
            return leftstr;
        public char left(String str) { return str.toCharArray()[0]; }
        public char[] left(String str, int n) {
            char[] leftstr = new char[MAX];
            str.getChars(0, n, leftstr, 0);
            return leftstr;
    }here is my main:
    import java.io.*;
    public class stringtest {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            myString hfb = new myString("happy fun ball, still legal in 16 states!");
            char[] d00d = {'d', '0', '0', 'd', '!', '!', '1', '!'};
            char[] whatev = hfb.left(15);
            System.out.println(hfb.get());
            System.out.println(hfb.left("well, lets see this one", 6) +
                "\n" + whatev + "\n" + hfb.left(d00d, 4));
            System.out.println(hfb.lowercase("d00d, PWNED") + "\n" + hfb.uppercase());
    }and here is the report it produces:
    happy fun ball, still legal in 16 states!
    [C@119c082
    [C@1add2dd
    [C@eee36c
    [C@194df86
    [C@defa1a
    so I suppose you can already see my problem here. Now I put a println in myString. it was in the left(int n) function, just before the return statement. It printed "happy fun ball", so it worked. It was a good report.
    when I return it, though, it gives me some hexadecimal number with a crazy symbol in front of it.
    What throws me off more is that my get function works fine, and when I use it it shows a normal report.
    So, yeah. any help is greatly appreciated. This is due tomorrow(hurray for procrastination), so I could use help soon.
    Sorry if I seem to be rambling, its late, and I want to sleep :)

    hmm..
    I tried making one(which unfortunatly resulted in my direct use of the string class, rather than like an extra. I was hoping to avoid it), but it didn't change anything. Now I think I did something wrong, or perhaps I'm calling it wrong.
    will it automatically get used if I do something like System.out.println(myString.left(5));?
    Or do I have to get the left method to return a string?
    and why does get() work correctly?
    This whole thing is confusing me a lot, because it seems so inconsistent. I think its just evry language's deep, personal hatred for me :)
    any further help is also appreciated, and thanks for replying so quickly :)

  • For some godforsaken reason, Apple refuses only now to not accept my credit card information. Could use some help.

    I have been a proud iPhone 4S user for a year this coming August. I also have been using the same credit card on it this entire time. It has had some minor complications because of my infatuation with the power of music and photo editing, but those were easy fixes with just a simple addition to my balance.
    Now, its been FOUR days since I could buy ANYTHING on ANY app. I already called my card company and even THEY had no earthly clue why my perfectly functioning card, with money on it, won't work. They even reset my card just as a try and STILL my problem persists.
    I have been scrolling through support for about an hour trying to see if it's just a store problem, but no one else is having the same problem.
    So. Is anyone up to the challenge?

  • Working on epic slideshow....really could use some help please

    I have combed the manuals, discussion logs etc. but am yet to find a simple answer to my questions. Maybe there are none. My grandparents both passed away in the last month. I am not only archiving my pictures but creating a slideshow using final cut pro 5.1.4. The pictures I have scanned are huge... a total of 180 years of life, hundreds of pictures, all scanned at 600 dpi because some where 2x2. Even then some pictures are 4000 x2800 and 20mb. I have resized them down to about 5mb or so. I have seemed to get rid of flicker and lag associated with such huge file. Still I am having a problem exporting......
    There are so many audio/video settings it hard to know where to go. This will be watched by 50 family members and friends, most with HD widescreen Televsisons. When I watch it on my computer it looks exactly how i want it to. When i burn it to iDVD it starts having lag issues when doing mild pans and zooms....the transitions.. fade in fade out, typically...or cross dissolve look "framey" and low quality. In the days of research I've done I can't seem to find proper settings (yes even the manual) on how to set the codecs or whatever they are....It will primarily be watched on 16:9 widescreen I image....but anything from old 4:3 televisons to laptops too. What settings should I use?...Should I reduce all pics to minimal size? Why do my transitions look so low res...? If anyone has any insight, please help. I don't know the difference in 1080i50 or 1080i 60...I have heard NTSC is not the way to go for a slideshow.....please help. How should I resize, how should I export, what am I doing wrong? It looks great for the most part on my on MacBook Pro 2.5ghz 2g ram 15 inch laptop....why cant i get it to translate on the televison?
    I know parts of this question(s) have been discussed and appreciate anytime in helping me grasp what I am missing. This is so very important to me...also Livetype was a disaster... looked liked graphics from a 1982 sci-fi movie...sigh....I have done this before with success, but not in about 5 years. Technology and HD era have surpassed me although some of my questions ares still basic.
    Thanks in advance,
    Tony
    MacBook Pro 2.5ghz 2g ram Please help with FCP 5 slideshow technical difficulties

    Yes I considered using iMovie or iPhoto because of the size of this project but had little or no control over motion. Despite my obvious lack of knowledge I know my way around FCP to the extent I've needed it.
    Perhaps I have been over thinking/researching everything because this project means so much to me.
    I just wanted to make sure I imported my media correctly (scanned tiffs and music only) and export it with the proper settings so that it looks as professional as possible and nobody has a problem playing it.
    I have had success with several slideshows before, as well as fun DV videos of the kids. Without motion, no problem. With motion, just a few minor bugs (flickering) but was very happy with the end result. The difference then I suppose is that was using all digital pics from (at the time) a 3 megapixel camera. Not huge files, not scanned images. I used NTSC then but read in a forum somewhere that that was a quick way to degrade your production. I feel like I'm close. If it looks like I want it to on my computer I can't be that far off, right?
    I appreciate the info on DVD's needing to be NTSC compatible. Maybe I should just go back to the standard NTSC format. Are all the other audio/video settings simply for uploading to the web and so forth? Is there a NTSC setting that you would recommend that is better for todays standard widescreen television? I do want the final show to be in widescreen.
    Thanks David,
    Tony

  • Memory timings... I could use some help here!

    I have a MSI K8T NEO FIS2R board. For long time I suffered serious system instability... due to bad memory.  Anyhow, yesterday I got me some GEiL memory, 2x 512MB of PC3500 memory (type 433 Ultra DDR KHS)
    Guess what? I can't get the system to run stable. I guess it has something to do with timings, although I don;t know how to set them.
    Can perhaps  anybody help me?
    My other components should be good (strong PSU, enough cooling etc).

    hmmm odd, I'm usually running at FSB 210 and higher X 11 modifier (3400+) and have a SATA RAID 0 array with no problems whatsoever.... guess It's just my time to have some good luck come my way, karma or something    all my other pc's were Intel's, had good and bad luck....blew a P4 & a P2 mobo (Intel) that were not that old or abused...lost 2 WD HD's for no apparent reason, a Maxtor 60 got bad sectors when it was pretty new (OEM), 17" monitor blew out (MAG) when 17's were pretty new and $$$$$, gone thru too many mice to count, made plenty of coasters with a cruddy burner after I replaced my old Lite-On (tried a Optorite, it sucked...replaced that with another Lite-On (most common rebadged-labeled/faceplated/slightly modded FW burners around (Sony/TDK etc)), had 2 Nvidia GeForeces replaced (luckily just had to pay for s&h), 3DFX went out 3 times on me... Flightstick Pro's springs snapped so many times that CH practically knew me by name..  had a Zoom external modem that needed repair.. Power supply graveyard.... I could go on but I'm sure anyone who's been with computers for over 25 years (started on a 4k TRS-80 with awesome tape player for sound!) could probably relate....  I held out against AMD for so long but thought WTH, it was originally a new HT P4 to replace my old P4 1.7 I was piecing together on newegg when I thought try the AMD, and luv my jet black speed demon... sorry was long-winded there but I'm totally stoked on this system.. Call of Duty is so fast MP with 64 players at 1600x1200x32 6x Aniso + 16x Antialiasing maxed to the teeth card & games.. I've yet to find a game to slow it down. Now with a 6mb DSL connection vs my ditched 1.5 yakoo for the same price (I live really close), I get the full BW & 3 static ip's to top it off (Blahoo charges too much for just 1 static ip, I had dynamic)...         just felt like blabbing for a few
    As for the Geil mem, try upping the mem voltage..I use 2.75...try as someone said CPU-Z and auto settings and see where they go vs. the advertised ratings. Often people add 1 to Ras to Cas as was mentioned on Mushkin's site for AMD64's...  I've read complaints about Geil but also good, so I dunno. Same for Corsair, Kingston etc...  Add to the settings and then fine tune them, same rule of thumb for overclocking. It can get frustrating 'tho I know. I posted much on the Mushkins just because they worked right outta their cases at 2-2-2 at 400...  Why the they stopped with the BH5's I have no idea... I got mine just in time as they were gone the next day or at least the true Black Hi-Perf Level II's except for 2700's & I knew the paired packs were the new "2-2-2 Specials" BH6's (also supposed to be good, just don't O/C as well). I've seen em on Ebay for alot of $$$. DDR2 is just around the corner, we'll have to see...  This system was the easiest to set up and the funnest to play around with to see what it could do (I still often make changes just for the heck of it even 'tho it's rock solid already) vs. all the Intels I've built for others & myself in the past (nothing against Intel)... actually the P2-450 was also easy, just not so much fun..notihng like BSODs when you make slight changes to make things tedious pretty fast.

    Okay...Ive been reading about this all morning and I'm a little stumped and hoping for some fresh ideas.  I'm on a Windows 7 64 bit system.  It had Premiere Elements 7, but now has 10.  I have a Canon HV20 HD camcorder.  I used this camcorder about 6 months ago to import some video into Premiere 7, and everything worked swimingly.  Import was via Firewire.  Recently, I got back from a trip and was disturbed to find out I could no longer import video. On PE7 I was getting a C+++ error and being bounced out.  Since I was on an old version I splurged and bought 10.  Now it doesnt error out, but I can't capture content. I can control the camcorder, but when I go to capture I get garbled audio and just some flashes of pixelizaiton on an otherwise black screen.  Content looks fine on the camcorder, but doesn't get capture.  The video files created look indentical to the capture preview with garbled audio and some pixelization across the top of the screen.  I've updated Firewire drivers, rolled firewire drivers back, updated Quicktime, video drivers...checked the modes for the camcorder and nothing seems to work.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Thanks for the note Steve.  I should have mentioned that I did try that, to no avail.  I just finished trying some things on 3 seperate computers.  First, I downloaded the free version of Vegas and noticed the same results.  I then moved the firewire card to my son's computer.  His is also Win7 64 bit.  I made the move based on the assumption that it was something in my PC.  This move resulted in similar results.  Then, reading Bill's trick and noticing it referenced Win7 64 I moved the firewire card to my wife's win7 32 bit machine.  Same results.  On all 3 I tried Vegas, HDVSplit and Premiere.  All let me control the camcorder, but dont actually show the video.  I'm starting to think my firewire cable or card are shot.  Does that seem at all likely?  I'm not a heavy firewire users, so I'm not sure if thats likely.  I'd hate to run buy stuff if I'm on a goose chase.
    Thanks all.

  • I could use some help w/ Flash Buttons please...

    I am creating my site in Flash... All is well. Buttons work fine. Then all the sudden buttons do not work when created inside a movie clip. If I choose to enable simple buttons, they work fine when I am within the clip but when I go back to Scene they no longer work as well as when I preview? They are there, set up right, just do not work when out side of clip... The buttons I have for main page still work fine...
    Thanks so much!
    I am going crazy!!!!
    Jayson

    The code I used for the common library buttons is:
    next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);
    //variable is a container that holds some value...
    var imageNumber:Number=1;
    function checkNumber():void {
        next_btn.visible=true;
        back_btn.visible=true;
        //If the number is = 77, then do something...
        if (imageNumber==70) {
        next_btn.visible=false;
    //if the imageNumber is = 1, then don't show back button
    if (imageNumber==1) {
        trace(imageNumber);
        back_btn.visible=false;
    checkNumber();
    function nextImage(evtObj:MouseEvent):void {
        //Adding to the current value +1
        imageNumber++;
        oeightloader.source = "2008images/oeight"+imageNumber+".jpg";
        checkNumber();
    back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backImage);
    function backImage(evtObj:MouseEvent):void {
        //Subtract 1 from the current value
        imageNumber--;
        oeightloader.source="2008images/oeight"+imageNumber+".jpg";

  • Very new to flash, could use some help

    Sorry the title isn't too descriptive, couldn't really think what to put there.
    Anyway, i'm making an 'interactive map' for a game I play. I have the map itself, if was given to me by the game developers, but what i'm trying to do is place points on the map that, when clicked, present a menu that allows them to select an item to be placed. (In this case, the item would be an image.)
    The reason for this, is the game is a third persons hooter and has turrets on the map that you can build, i'd like to make something for everyone to easily be able to share turret strategies, and thought this would be the best option. I've only used flash once or twice, and that was about a year ago when I was in college, so I don't really remember anything useful.
    Thanks in advance.
    PS: Another way I've thought of doing this was having the points be 'snap' points for the images, and having a menu that spawns the turret images on the map that can be dragged by the users to the 'snap' points of the map. Which way would be easier to accomplish, do you think?
    PPS: Would it be hard to give users a way to save their map so they could link it to other people? Or perhaps something like some Flash Games have where they can copy a code and give it to people to input into the flash app/game, the code lets them view exactly what the original person was viewing.

    Make those turret images as symbols, say a movie clip.
    and now you can build a menu in movie clip when clicked on it.
