Create a list in another list

Hi,
Is it possible to create nested lists in Sharepoint 2013?
My requirement is to create a list for some groups like (group1, group2,group3 etc..).
This list will have 3 columns for group name, type and description.
And when a group is selected I want to see another list in it with some columns like user properties.
Is this possible? I am a SharePoint power user, so please excuse if this is an unusual question!
Thanks

You can't nest lists.
However you can have lookup columns which bring data from other lists. This basic relational structure may grant what you want.
Alternatively, Managed Metadata fields can be used to create a hierarchy several levels deep.

How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?

How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?
I currently run OS X 10.10.1
Now i have been trying to work on this for a while now and what i want to do should be simple but its apparently not.
Here is an example of what i want to happen.
I will have 2 tabs: Contact | Sales
Now Contacts will have the list of names and various information about a customer, While Sales will have one drop-down box for each Cell Row that will show the names of the person in tab contacts
for what i am wanting to do i cant use the data format pop-up menu because the list is edited everyday several times a day.
Now how do i do this, Excel can do this so how can numbers do it?

Hi Shegra,
Paste this into a applescript editor window and run it from there. In the script you may need to adjust the four properties to agree with your spreadsheet. Let me know if you have any questions.

How do I create a list of only weekdays in Numbers?

I would like to create a list of weekdays in one column. Using the highlight & drag method doesn't work, as Numbers repeats the highlighted list, instead of extending it. Here is what I am looking for:
1/3/2011
1/4/2011
1/5/2011
1/6/2011
1/7/2011
1/10/2011
1/11/2011
1/12/2011
1/13/2011
1/14/2011
1/17/2011
12/31/2011
Any ideas on how to accomplish this easily?
Thanks!

All i did was type in the first weeks worth (say Jan 2 through 6). You can type the first and fill down for the other 4. Then in the next cell down (B6) just enter =B1+7
This will add seven days to the first "monday" located in B1. Fill it down and it will continually add seven days to the date 5 rows above it.
NOTE: this does not account for holidays. If you need holidays excluded, we need another method

How to create a list from checkboxes using Numbers on iPad?

I am creating a guest list using Numbers foriPad. First sheet is a list of invited people with checkboxes (Yes/No/still to reply) in next column. In the next sheet i want create a list of everyone that has replied yes.
I have tried using the if statement, but I dont want any blank cells.
-IF(A2;TRUE;A1) gives name in A1 if box is checked, but gives 0 or something else if i specify. But i want to automatically start on next row to avoid blank or 0-
Example:
David   V
Lisa.     V
Derek
Brad.   V
Paul.
John
The separate list in another sheet should then be:
David
Lisa
Brad
Any help will be appreciated.

Can you use the the reorganize panel to sort the list?
Idon't have Numbers on the iOS so I am not sure. You are posting in the forum for Numbers on Mac OS X.
you can also add a new column (let's say C)
where
C1=if(A1, A1, "")
this will include the name from column A when the checkbox in B is checked. You can then copy column C and paste values using the menu item (Edit > Paste Values, or equivalent in iOS... not sure what it is)

Problem in creating a list.

Hello!
How do I create a list in an applet? What do I need to import? I have a simple applet below that contains a list. Yet when I compile it, en error message comes up. The error is shown below.
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class ListApplet exteds Applet
List list;
public void init()
list = new List( 5, false );
add( list );
resize( 300, 150 );
the code above encounters the error:
ListApplet.java:11: cannot resolve symbol
symbol: constructor List (int,boolean)
location: class List
list = new List( 5, false );
1 error
what do I have to do to make this work? I'm a beginner in java. Please be specific when suggesting solutions. Thanks for your help! I really appreciate it!

There seems to be no problem with your code
From your error message, it seems that your code cannot find the constructor for java.awt.List
Did you write a class on your own by the name List because it will overide the one in jdk
if you did write a code by the name List you may rename the class or add in another constructor to take in (int, boolean) as parameter
nope. I didn't write a class named List. I already have my classpath set to (.) and path to ...c:\jdk1.3\bin.

Using a newly created Library document to create a list item and attach itself

I have a workflow that moves a document from one library to another.
When a document is moved to a certain library I want to create a list item with a link to the document in the list item. Keep in mind there could be 10 files submitted to the library, so then in my list I would want 10 new list items created for
each file, with a link to the individual file. or is there a way to attach the document to a newly created list item programmatically?
is this possible?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use a newly created Library document to create a list item and attach itself.
I recommend to create a workflow assocaited to the second library, and start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Then add action as below:

Create a list of section under a department

Hi,
I am new. Can someone tell me how to create a list of different sections under a department. e.g. I have English department and under that, after clicking on the English Icon, users can see 3 other sections such as Eng 1, Eng 2 and Eng 3.
Thanks

Hmmm ... not sure I'm following you exactly.
You have a site ... and a site can have "sections". Inside a section, you can have "divisions" and "courses". Inside "divisions", you can have "sections". "Courses" contain "groups" ... and groups look like tabs in iTunes. Lemme put that another way ...
A "site" contains "sections".
A "section" contains "divisions" or "courses".
A "division" contains "sections".
A "course" contains "groups".
A "group" contains "tracks".
What I'm not sure about is what you're mapping "department" to in that scheme.

url to get the collection of user for that particular page. but is not something will be hard coded value, if we pass the page url into CAML query? is there something we can dynamically retrieve the users based on page url. for example, if users visits
30 different page url, i need to put all those urls into CAML Query. do i need to create custom user field or i can use Created by field to get the users? please correct me if i am wrong. Below is the code:

Creating Selection List Dynamically or Through Code

Has anyone created Selection Lists for Excel or Analyzer Dynamically Through Code? We have lists that could change quite often and would like to automate the process.

Different methods for different situations. If you are just concerned about capturing newly added descendants/children of a dimension, it may be best to always begin the query at the appropriate parent level, then zooming/drilling to list all children/descendants at the time the query is run. Assigning attributes is another way to achieve this, assuming all the members which you wish to capture are similar in nature (eg. flavor, size, product category, etc.). After creating the attribute dimensions and assigning them to base dimensions, simply adding the attribute to the query dynamically filter the values returned. You can also drill/zoom on the attribute dimension in the query to view detail lists of the individual members which match.

Create invoice list

Dear experts!
Thank you for your attention!
I have problems in creating invoice list. I used VF21 to create invoice list and enter the billing doc. But the sys aways notice me " the doc. is not relevant for invoice list" who does this happen?
I have maintain the billing type LR and copy control, and set calendar for the payer as well.
who can help me~~~~
Best regard!
Tangdark

Check three points:
1) Copy controls from billing type to invoice list type in VTFF
2) Invoice list type to be assigned in Billing type
3) Factory calendar maintained in InvoicingListDates field in billing documents tab of customer master
If all three are in place and still you get the problem, create a new sales cycle (from sale order to billing) and check.
Another option is to enter the Billing type as LR and billing date as todays date in initial screen of VF21 and check.

Create dynamic list (DHTML list) with parent child

Hi,
I am new to APEX.
I have manually created DHTML list using lists in APEX. I want to create it dynamically using tables.
I tried but not worked for me.
i choose DHTML list because i want it in (+) sign when click on it all sub list entries should be displayed
and also wanted to create something like when user click on one particular sub entry it should be saved in database
with other fields of table.
Was just wondering if any one came across this sort of query or design.
Thanks in Advance

plz help me to make this page work with ajax
>>
the form page you mean, right ? well, even if I could provide
a solution
(ajax respectively the CS3 spry stuff is rather new to me right
now), this wouldn´t make sense to the form page anyway,
because, after performing an insert/update/delete transaction, ADDT
will always redirect to another page
(your list probably) you specified when setting up the form.
ADDT lists and forms are by default separated, and there is
no mechanism provided to have both functionalities available on the
same page -- it´s that what you meant ?

And list always displayed in the page,no change,
So if I want submit another report,i neednot return main tab,

Anyone help me ,very thanks.
saven

Hi Saven,
You can create a list in page 0 as suggested by Jari and choose the display point as you like. Items, regions and other attributes in page 0 works like a master page that can be accessed from any other page.
Hope this make sense.

How to automatically create a list of all pages on a site?

Greetings,
I am trying to find a way to create a list of all pages in a site folder.
Site map creators don't do this. They only list pages that are linked on other pages.
The point of making a list is to create a page of links to all pages.
Thanks

>Well, whatever is easiest
That depends on your skill level.
>Easiest would be dreamweaver or another program.
I don't know of a way to do this with DW, but Jon suggested a site mapping tool that might help.
>SO I don;t have to go through the folders copying and pasting pages.
The main advantage of a server side solution is that it's dynamic - as you add pages the links would update automatically. Otherwise you will need to manually manage this page.

Create a list with associated workflow from a list template.

Hi,
I have a calendar list with two workflows and I saved it as list template. Also I have an event receiver which creates a list based in this list template I created, but I noticed that the list is created without workflows. If I create the list
using the list template using SharePoint it does it with the workflows but my event receiver does not.
Here is my code:
if
(list == null){
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates =
true;
var lstTemp = web.Site.GetCustomListTemplates(web);
var template = lstTemp[listTemplate];
var listId = web.Lists.Add(listName,
string.Empty, template);
list = web.Lists[listId];
list.Title = listName;
list.OnQuickLaunch =
false;
list.Update();
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates =
false;
Thanks anyway.

Hi,
According to my understanding, you have a list template contains workflow, you can create a new list with this template from UI. However, when create a list with this
template in Event Receiver, the workflow is missing.
I tried to reproduce by creating a list template contains an OOTB Approval workflow, then use an Event Receiver to create a list with this template, it turned out
that the workflow is attached to the newly created list.
I would suggest that you create another Event Receiver with the code snippet below to see if it is an issue of Event Receiver:
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
base.ItemAdded(properties);
createListWithTemplateWithWF(properties);
public static void createListWithTemplateWithWF(SPItemEventProperties properties)
using (SPSite site = properties.Site)
using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
SPListTemplateCollection listTemplates = site.GetCustomListTemplates(web);
SPListTemplate listTemplate = listTemplates["ListTemplate_List001_withWF"];
web.Lists.Add("List005", "List005", listTemplate);
Feel free to reply with the test result or if there any questions about this.

Finesse -( UCCX 10) - Create a list of actions for Call ends

Hi,
I want to create a list of actions in Finesse, when the call ends for Agent, it dials another Trigger. How can I do that?
There are two options, Browser pop-up or HTTP Request. Unfortunately there is not enough document about this on the net.

Hi,
Actually my requirement is to allow users to select multiple values from an LOV i.e. 7,8,11 (comma seperated). As it is not possible with the standard list of values to select multiple values so I'm using the above document from the Metalink to create an LOV with the same look and feel as the standard LOV of forms. I've tried all the steps but unfortunately no luck.
Elements in List => put one item with space <--- i'm confused on this one, may be i'm not setting this properly.
Thanks
