Created by column in sharepoint 2010

we have 5 different site list that uses the created by column to help us identify who created what. for some reasons one of the site list is showing system account in the created by column and not sure how it was changed to this?
all other list are showing the correct user who created each entry
any ideas?

Have you migrated one of the lists via the content and structure feature from elsewhere within the site collection?
This may have led to the creation of these items under the system account.

How to Create Custom List in SharePoint 2010 Programmatically ?

Hi,
i have tried the following way,
http://devendra-sharepoint.blogspot.in/2012/01/creating-list-programatically-in_30.html
But i am not able to create list.
Becuase i am getting the following error.
'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb' does not contain a definition for 'EnsureList' and no extension method 'EnsureList' accepting a first argument of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Please advice.
Thanks,
Aasai

Hi,
You can use list.Fields.Add() to add column in list. See below blog:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/3764/create-sharepoint-list-programmatically.aspx
Use this to delete list:

I am creating a metadata column and I want to set its default value in sharepoint 2010 using client object model. Can anyone help me?
My code for creating metadata column is as below:
            ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
            Web site = clientContext.Web;
            List list = site.Lists.GetByTitle("LibraryName");
            FieldCollection collField = list.Fields;
            string fieldSchema = "<Field Type='TaxonomyFieldType' DisplayName='SoftwareColumn' Name='SoftwareColumn' />";
            collField.AddFieldAsXml(fieldSchema, true, AddFieldOptions.DefaultValue);
            //oneField.DefaultValue = "ASP.NET|4c984b91-b308-4884-b1f1-aee5d7ed58b2"; // wssId[0].ToString() + ";#" + term.Name + "|" + term.Id.ToString().ToLower();

Error creating subsite from template - SharePoint 2010

I appreciate the help from anyone who can help in my situation.
I am trying to create a subsite whose parent is a SharePoint Server 2010 website. When I'm doing that, I go to:
Site Actions > Create > Sites and Workspaces
My purpose is to create a subsite using the "Web Databases > Issues Web Database" template. When I do that, the page tries to create a website for a long time, and when it finishes, the following error message page appears:
Preparing Site ...
Someone has recently made changes to this site and the site is being updated. If the site remains offline for an extended period of time, contact a site owner. Wait
a moment and refresh your browser
However, when I use another template, say "Collaboration > Team Site", such website is created successfully and is fully functional.
Can anybody help me with this issue? My vast expertise in SharePoint extends to one week. I have no idea how to figure this out.
Thank you so much for everything! Have a great year.

you have to create access service application. See below
You have to make sure you did the following:
Created a Access Service Application
(Central Administration – Manage Service Applications – New – Access Services)
Started the Access Database Service
(Central Administration – Manage Services on Server)
then open up the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell, and give the following powershell command: enable-spSessionStateService –DataBaseName <SomeNewDatabaseName>
above command will create a session state database and turns on the session state service.
Refresh your browser and you are all set to go

Unable to Create Work Document in SharePoint 2010 by one user

Hi,
We have a unique issue. One user in our organisation is not able to create Word Document in our SharePoint environments.
We have SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition and Office 2010 Professional Edition. This issue is faced by only one user in our organization. no issues for thousands of other users.
We tested with our multiple SharePoint environments of different type of web applications. No where user is able to create Word Document using New Document functionality.
User is able to create Excel, PowerPoint documents of all extensions. User is able to upload Word Document. User is able to Edit the existing word documents both in browser and Word client.
Since it fails in all SharePoint environments, I am suspecting some common failure point like User Profile issue, CAL etc. Any suggestions from experts like you is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sivanandham,
Could you please test two more options below with the user for narrowing down the issue scope?
Create a new content type inheriting from content type Document and then upload a new word file as the template to the new content type.
Change the word template for the content type with issue when the user creates a document from the content type.
Please also check ULS log for more detailed error for further research.
Best regards,
Victoria

Creating "Conditional Sections" in Sharepoint 2010

Hi, I have a created a home page for my team site with several image buttons that are linked to other lists/pages. For one of these buttons i want to create another section of buttons for the user to select the kind of review to update. Is it
possible to do that and make that section "sort of conditional"? i.e. it should only be shown when the user clicks the 1st button?
For example
I have the below image buttons.
1. Add New Review
2. View Updated Reviews
3. View Closed Review
So when the user clicks on "Add New Review", he/she will be directed to another section within the same page to select the kind of review he/she wants to add. This will be done via image buttons as well.
e,g image buttons for "1. Internal Review" "2. External Review" etc.
These 2nd set of buttons will only appear when the user clicks on the 1st button "Add New Review".
Is it possible to do this?
I hope i have explained well. Any assistance would be appreciated
Regards, Aarti

How to create time column in SharePoint custom list.

Hi,
Actually my requirement is, I should create a Custom List in SharePoint which should has "Effort" column with the "Time" type.
User Should enter only Hours and minutes in that field. How should i do it?
By Default we can have "Date and Time" or "Date" alone. There is no feature to have only "Time" :(
Thanks in advance.
Poomani Sankaran

you can use JSLink script for that. You can use text field attache JSlink script and change her client side rendering. some information and samples about client side rendering: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Client-side-rendering-JS-2ed3538a
I's good because in worst case you will have pure SP text field. In case of migration to new version or cloud you will have no problems.
Even more you can attache Jquery UI Time spinner http://jqueryui.com/spinner/#time or you can download Time picker extension http://trentrichardson.com/2010/04/19/timepicker-addon-for-jquery-ui-datepicker/
and create fancy time picking design.

Hi Azamat,
This you can do by using SharePoint Designer workflow.
Create a sharepoint designer workflow and invoke that when new item will create in the list Employee
OnBoards.
then use Copy List item action to copy employee name to employee on board task list.
Below link will help you how to use copy list item action in a workflow.

Unable to export all columns from sharepoint 2010 survey

Have a user that cannot export all columns from a sharepoint survey. When exported, he only gets 3 columns. We've tried a number of things, including exporting from the overview view. We've also made sure that readers had full edit rights, etc. Just for
background, this survey does contain branching logic. Any ideas?

I have had
exactly the same problem before.
There's already a ton of suggestions on these blogs, and I suspect there is a bug somewhere.
As I'm lucky to have Reporting Services in SharePoint mode, I've been using it to export Survey data, pre-process it, and export it to Excel or PDF.

How to Prevent duplicates on Combination of Lookup columns in sharepoint 2010 using infopath 2010 form.

Hi All,
I have list with some Lookup columns like City, Pin, and Text Column Name. All these are required columns.
Now I want to prevent duplicates while submitting InfoPath form if a Combination of City,Pin & Name. (like a Composite primary in Database is used.)
Can some one help me on how to achieve this using InfoPath 2010 Rules, writing rule in Xpath.
Thanks in Advance.

1. Add a secondary data connection to the list where the form will be submitted.
2. Prior to submit via rules, set the query fields in the above connection: City, Pin & Name with values entered in the form. Query the data source and check if the result has values.
3. Show error messages accordingly if exists else continue with Submit.

How to have repeating columns for SharePoint list

Hi
I am working on SharePoint 2013 environment and trying to customize a SharePoint list using infopath form.
Have a list called "Future Actions" and users need to submit their actions. An user can submit
n number of Planned actions and every user will submit different number of actions.
Columns:
1. Title TEXT
2. Month Choice
3. Planned Actions TEXT
I want to capture user's actions in the same form, such that he would have option to expand the
Planned actions column to add n number of Actions.
Simply, For one Month, user should be able to define all actions in one form. and the number of planned actions will vary from user to user.
Pls suggest

Hi,
The OOTB can't provide a feature to meet your requirement.

In SharePoint 2013, we can also customize a special field type using client-side rendering.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got exception when we assign a task to created by column in sharepoint 2013 designer workflow.
To troubleshoot the issue, I recommend to capture the created by field value in a variable.
You can add a "Set variable workflow" action and get the value of this field. Then, add a "Log on workflow history" action and log the value of the variable and see if it is capturing the right value. And in the task action, put the variable
on the user field and do some tests.
In addition, you need to make sure the variable return field as "string" or "Email Address”.

"Assigned To" SharePoint 2010 Question

Any thoughts about how to implement an "Assigned To" column within a SharePoint 2010 list that would consist of "Person or Group" items and allow the default value for this column to be set to a defined SharePoint group?

Please use People Picker (Person or Group) for it, In Sharepiont object model it is SPFieldType.Userfield.
SPList list = web.Lists.TryGetList("Tasks");
                    if (list != null)
                        // get the SharePoint group
                        SPUser user = web.EnsureUser(@"domainName\userName");
                        // Create a new task item
                        SPListItem task = list.Items.Add();
                        SPFieldUserValue assignToGroup = new SPFieldUserValue(web, user.ID, user.Name);
                        task["AssignedTo"] = assignToGroup;
                        task["Title"] = "Testing";
                        task["Description"] = "Testing";
                        task.Update();
