Creating new Enterprise wiki site collection or creating a new subsite, or creating a new library

I have SharePoint 2013 web application, which has enterprise wiki site collection for our finance department. Now I need to create a new site for our HR department.
The two sites will differ in the following:-
Each department have different permission. For example each department have different users for who can approve, edit/create.
Each department will use different EnterpriseWiki page layout. As each department will have different wiki category columns (different site columns).
Also each department will use different metadata navigation.
The two sites will have the following in common:-
The same master page. Seatle.html.
So I can not determine which approach I should follow:-
To create a new enterprise wiki site collection for our HR department.
Create a new enterprise wiki library inside the current site collection representing the HR enterprise wiki.
To create a new subsite ?
Can anyone advice on these please? Thanks

Given that each will have different permissions I would go with a separate site collection.  That will provide the best security basis.  You could do it with a sub site, but it will be easier to maintain the security as a separate site
collection.

Yes i know that having different permission & different page layouts will push toward creating separate site collections. but i found a major linking problem when using different site collections (i mean adding links which reference other site collections
pages), let take the following example:-
1. I have Site collection A & site collection B.
2. now inside SCA i create a new wiki page named "Test.aspx" page.
3. then inside SCA i add a link to this wiki page from another wiki page.
4. also inside SCB i also add a link to the Test.aspx page.
After that let say i modify the Test.asxp page name & title to be "NewTest.aspx" , which will affect the page URL which will be
http:.../NewTest.aspx/ instead of
http.../Test.aspx/. now inside SCA all the links to the old Test.aspx page will automatically updated to reference the NewTest.aspx so that the links will not break. but inside SCB pages, the links will not be modified and will keep referencing Test.asxp
which no more exists ... so can you advice please if there is a way to overcome this problem , and if i create sub-site representing Site collection B will this solve the problem ?

  • How can I allow users to view any Wiki Pages inside my enterprise wiki site collection, as PDF files

    We are working on an enterprise wiki site collection, and users start adding wiki pages and link them together. But a new requirement was raised by the customer, to allow users to be able to convert any wiki page to pdf file and save the pdf file to their
    local PCs. They are suggesting to add a link or an option inside the upper ribbon , named “Make as PDF”, and once clicked they can view the current wiki as a pdf file.
    Not sure what are the capabilities of SharePoint 2013 to do so ? and is there any third paryt tools that allow doing similar tasks ?
    Thanks

    If you want to save as PDF, could you not use a PDF printer, so the procedure would be to 'Print this page' and the user then selects their PDF printer and where they want to save the file.
    but in this way the user will have the page header footer, left navigation included in the pdf file. while i want to extract the body only. i so not think you apprach will work for my requirements

  • How do i edit the links in the top nav bar on an enterprise wiki site?

    I would like to edit and change the links in the top nav bar on my enterprise wiki.
    Currently the links are "About this wiki" and "Recent" a drop down menu with links.
    I would like to change "About this wiki" to a "Home" page link and remove the "Recent" drop down menu and links. I also would like to be able to add more links to the to the top nav bar.
    I there anyway I can do this one an enterprise wiki site?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to edit the links in the top navigation bar on an enterprise wiki site.
    I try to reproduce the issue, however, my enterprise wiki site don’t have the drop down menu.
    How did you add the Recent link?
    How did you create the drop down menu?
    Did you use the seattle master page or olso master page?
    It will be better if you can descript more detail and provide some screenshots.
    You can use JavaScript to add and remove the items in the drop down menu.

  • Using Content search web part to retrieve items from another site collection

    I have a web application that contains two site collections(team site + enterprise wiki), with the following URLs:-
    -http://applicationname/teamsite
    -http://applicationname/enterprisewiki
    Now I need to display the latest 10 wiki pages from the enterprise wiki site collection(according to the modified date) inside the team site. So I read that using Content search web part allow for cross-site content query. Currently I added a new content
    search web part , inside my team site, and I click on “change query” button. But I am not sure how I can reference the enterprise wiki site collection's wiki page library and to specify that I need to get the latest 10 wiki pages , inside the following dialog:-
    Basically this setting partially worked for me, I provide the following settings inside the “Build Your Query” dialog:-
    From the “Select a Query” I defined the following:- “items matching content type(system).”
    Restrict by app : “Do not restrict results by app”
    Restrict by content type “Enterprise Wiki Page”.
    This showed all the sites, lists and even pages are based on the “Enterprise Wiki Page” content type. But I am facing these three problems:-
    1. The above setting showed only the sites,lists and pages matching the “Enterprise Wiki Page” content type, that exists on another web application, and not that exists inside the current web application.
    2. To test the web part , I got the following results, But I was not able to add additional info for the items such as created by, modified by ,etc.
    3.  Also there is no way to sort the wiki pages by the modified date, as in the Sorting tab inside the “Build Your query” dialog I cannot find the “modified” inside the Soft by list
    So can anyone advice how to fix these three problems

    Hi,
    1. In "Build Your Query" dialog, we can select "Specify a URL" in
    Restrict by app and enter another site URL.
    2. If you want to add more information for the items, we need customize the display template, the following link for your reference:

    3. In the Sorting tab, we can use "LastModifiedTime" to instead of "Modified".

    Edit the webpart and click change query in search criteria.  click on switch to advanced mode and enter your path:
    (path:"http://applicationname/teamsite" OR path:"http://applicationname/enterprisewik")
    you can specify sorting by created date and click ok.  in number of items to show, type 10.  this should fulfill your requirement.

  • Problem with adding a second Categories field to my Enterprise Wiki Page template

    I wanted to add a second category field beside the default wiki category. So I did the following steps:-
    Inside my enterprise wiki site collection, I added a new Site Column, named “customer” with a managed metadata type.
    Then I added the site column to the “Enterprise Wiki Page” content type.
    After that using the SharePoint Designer , I added the new “Customer ” column to my EnterpriseWiki.aspx page layout.
    The result was that I got a new category field , but I am facing these two problems:-
    When selecting items for the new metadata column, the items are not clickable, unlike the default Wiki Category field, which allow users to click on the terms , as follow:-
    The new category column was not displayed inside the Tree View , same as for the default Wiki category, as follow:-
    So can anyone advice how I can solve these two problems ? Thanks

    The Visio Web Part displays Visio diagrams that are located in SharePoint.  Once you log out it won't have access to your desktop anymore.  Instead you should upload the Visio document to a SharePoint library and then reference it from
    there.  It would be nice if it was integrated into a single process, but I suspect its not something MS thought enough people would do to spend the time writing the extra code to integrate it.  So at least for now its a two step process.

    so to add a visio diagram , we need to do the following:-
    1. upload the visio to SP.
    2. add a web part.
    3. Browse for the Visio drawing.
    by defualt there is no way to directly upload a new Visio diagram...

  • Is there a way to add multiple categories columns to my enterprise wiki page

    Hi All,
    I have the following inside my SharePoint 2013;
    Enterprise wiki site collection.
    By default I got one category column for my enterprise wiki site.
    I link the defualt wiki category (of type managed metadata) to a term store.
    I am trying to achieve the following:-
    I need to add additional wiki categories (of type managed metadata) and link them to different term store.
    For example when a user add a new wiki page , he can select the default wiki , in addition to that he can
     a customer , sub-topic, country , etc.
    What I tried is :-
    I went to the wiki library and from there I added a new site column of type managed meta data.
    I link the new column to a second term store, and I did the same for the other wiki categories.
    The problem I am facing:-
    The new wiki categories were not displayed when adding /editing/viewing the wiki pages?
    Can anyone advice how I can add the new wiki categories , so that users can fill them when add/editing a wiki page , also how to show them under the defualt wiki category when reading any wiki page?

    Number of Chapters in iMovie is not known by me but if You aim to do a DVD then there is a problem.
    iDVD has some limitations
    • 99 Chapters maximum !
    • 60 resp 120 minutes limit (Movie + Menu duration) on SL-DVD and about double on DL-DVDs
    I would divide material onto two DVDs then I get 198 Chapters and 120 to 240 minutes on SL-DVDs
    Note thar MENU can take up lot's of time - 15 minutes o even more.

  • Creating Web Parts for an Enterprise Wiki...

    Hi All,
    I am trying to set up a knowledge base using an Enterprise Wiki site in SharePoint Online (apologies if this is the wrong forum) and I would like to be able to control the layout of the certain entries.  I think I need some web parts, but I am
    open to alternatives.  What I am hoping to achieve is this:
    Header Web Part - When a new page is created it would include a Web Part that includes a Title and some basic text fields as well as an editable list that would include a URL and a brief description of the URL so some thing like this:
    Title goes here
    Lable1: Text
    Lable2: More text
    Useful Sites:
    URL1 - This is the vendor support page
    URL2 - Here is some more useful info
    Repeatable/Reusable Web part - This web part would contain it's own layout, more text fields and also the ability to add attachments but most importantly when users edit the page they would be able to add another one of these web parts.
    Essentially any give Wiki page would be made up of one header web part and one or more instance of the other web part that gives the pages the same structure.
    Are web parts the correct thing to be using and if so how do I go about creating and implementing this?
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated
    Andrew

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.  I think it is a little over my head, I'm just starting out and I know I am trying to run before I crawl.  Will definitely give this a try when I've got my head round it.

  • Metadata Navigation Tree View in Quick Launch for Wiki Site

    I have successfully enabled managed metadata navigation for an Enterprise Wiki Site. When new pages are created they get created in the term set and I have have organised them into a hierarchy that I want.
    I would really like the quick launch to show a tree view of that managed metadata navigation hierarchy.
    How could I achieve this? Would this require a completely custom SiteMapProvider along with some jQuery or similar to render the tree view?
    Alternatively I am happy only showing a few levels of hierarchy with the OOTB quick launch, but I need to show the parent node for any given page I am on, to assist users navigating backup up. What control could I add just above the quick launch to show
    the parent node?
    Thanks for any help,

  • Unable to upload Files to child site collection using REST

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you had an issue uploading files to subsite using REST.
    I had made a simple code demo below, it will upload a file to Document Library after you make your selection with the File control.
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function uploadFile(){
    //alert(2);
    if (document.getElementById("file").files.length === 0) {
    alert('No file was selected');
    return;
    var parts = document.getElementById("file").value.split("\\");
    var filename = parts[parts.length - 1];
    var file = document.getElementById("file").files[0];
    uploadFileSync("http://YourSite", "Documents", filename, file);
    //Upload file synchronously
    function uploadFileSync(spWebUrl , library, filename, file)
    //alert(3);
    var reader = new FileReader();
    reader.onloadend = function(evt)
    if (evt.target.readyState == FileReader.DONE)
    var buffer = evt.target.result;
    var completeUrl = spWebUrl
    + "/_api/web/lists/getByTitle('"+ library +"')"
    + "/RootFolder/Files/add(url='"+ filename +"',overwrite='true')?"
    + "@TargetLibrary='"+library+"'&@TargetFileName='"+ filename +"'";
    $.ajax({
    url: completeUrl,
    type: "POST",
    data: buffer,
    async: false,
    processData: false,
    headers: {
    "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
    "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val(),
    "content-length": buffer.byteLength
    complete: function (data) {
    //uploaded pic url
    console.log(data.responseJSON.d.ServerRelativeUrl);
    error: function (err) {
    alert('failed');
    reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file);
    </script>
    <input type="file" id='file' onchange="uploadFile()"/>

  • Collaboration in Enterprise Wiki

    The out-of-box wiki page that is created with every enterprise wiki site states the following:
    Collaborate on wiki pages with other users
    Comment on a wiki page to enable discussion about the contents of the page
    Rate a wiki page to share your opinion about its content
    Categorize wiki pages to enable users to quickly find information and share it with others
    Does anyone know how one can enable this commenting feature for wiki pages? I am unable to find anything that talks about this.

    Hi,
    I have been searching this commenting as well.
    Best that I could find is when you are on the page you want to comment:
    From ribbon: Click Page --> Tags & Notes --> Note Board.
    I don't see this as great way of commenting as no one can quickly see the comments. I would believe that the comments would be visible at the bottom of the wiki page.
    Let see if the SP1 brings us something to this once it comes.

    Hi SamolPP,
    If you only want to copy the date of the root site collection to another site collection, I suggest you backup the root site collection and restore it to the destination site collection using PowerShell cmdlets.

  • How to set version limit for entire site collection

    Hi,
    We have more than 500 document libraries in one site collection. I see some of them have more than 50 versions & taking lot of storage space. So planning to limit the version's to 3 Major and 3 Minor for entire site collection. How can we do that? I
    know we can set to individual library by how can we do that for entire site collection?
    Thanks
    Rithu.
    Rithu

    The version limit is a library specific setting, so you'll need to use PowerShell to set the property value on each library in every site in the site collection.  Here's a sample script that sets if for one library.  You'll need to expand the script
    to walk the sites recursively and run this for every library.  
    https://consultantpoint.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/powershell-setconfigure-document-library-with-majorversionlimit-majorwithminorversionslimit-require-to-checkout-before-editing/
    Please Note: Changing these settings won't delete old versions.  That only happens after each item in the list or library is edited.

  • How can I create a new Host Url Site Collection in SharePoint 2013?

    Hi,
    This may sound really daft, but someone is trying to create a new Team Site Host Url Site Collection. We have the one Web Application at
    http://main and all site collections sit underneath. When we try and create a new Site Collection we have URL set as
    http://main/sites.  Our new site should be
    http://newsite. I tried to remove root and sites from http://main managed paths and you can't do it.
    Is it just me, but do you have to create a web application. Create Site collection for that web application and then move to under
    http://main like a SharePoint 2010 migration?
    Help Appreciated.
    John. 

    In that scenario, you would need to create a new Web Application, yes. There is another function called Host-named Site Collections which would get you what you want, but it takes a bit of work:
