Display Name of Approver when Content Approval is enabled

Hi,
is there a way to see who is the approver in case that Content Approval was set on a document library?
i saw that there is a column named "Approver Comments" which may be added to the view but it doesn't show the approver name

Hi
The user Approver
is not the user "Modified
by"
If you use Content Approval,
SharePoint does not save the name of the approver.
If you use approval workflow, the information
is saved in Tasks lists
workflow and workflow history

Display name of file when searching data?

hi All,
i write a coding that i want to read data in file and i get it.
after that i want to display a name of file that contain the data.
can anybody suggest how to get it?
thanks..

I still don't get the question. If there are many files, how do you pick one to read from? Or if you read from every one in turn, how do you manage to do that? Whatever you do, once you've got a file to read from, getting its name shouldn't be a lot of trouble.

How to check A document library that has document publishing enabled and content approval

HI
1) how to check A document library that has document publishing enabled
2)A document library or a list that has content approval enabled
adil

For both question, check version settings of that library
>>1)Document Version History "Create
a version each time you edit a file in this document library?" should set to either create major versions or Create
major and minor (draft) versions.

HT3051 can you change your Change Your Displayed Name if you have multiple devices attached with the same apple id?

We have both a Iphone 4s and a 4th Generation Ipod Touch both with the latest available IOS software on them. Since the Ipod touch was given to a preteen for Christmas and they aren't old enough to have their own email account or apple id 11 years old going on 12, is it possible to have a different displayed name for each device if they are both signed in with the same apple ID and not interfere with each others device in doing so?

@pdroth. Displayed name as in when you sign up for a apple id you sign up with email and a screen name(this is your display name). If you are using any apple device as like you do with an android device you have to sign in with either your google acct for android or apple id for a apple product. If one apple product is utilizing that apple id already aka Iphone and you can't set up a account for your child because of his or her age because of age restrictions, both devices will use the same info. So for instance when using things like facetime instead of seeing jane doe calling jane doe(basically making it show name of other person using your account instead of seeing your own name) can you make on jane doe and one john doe using the same apple id just different outgoing display name. Hopefully this helps.

Query Builder not locating emails based on email address, only the display name will work.

I am trying to set up some search folders for Outlook 2010 for emails either to or from a specific domain name. I am using the Query Builder to set up the logic for the search criteria.
Here's an example of what I am trying to do.
I have three people from a specific company that I want all emails I either send them or they send me to go to. Their email address are as follows:
Jane Doe <[email protected]>
John Doe <[email protected]>
Mary Smith <[email protected]>
Here is the issue I am having. When I set up the criteria for the search folder, entering From --> Contains --> [email protected] (or any of the other addresses mentioned above) will return no results. Entering From ---> Contains
--> companyxyz.com will yield no results. Only entering From ---> Contains --> Jane Doe will yield any results.
If I use the From field in the standard Messages Tab of the Search Folder Criteria window then just entering companyxyz.com will give me all the messages. The problem that I have is that I cannot set up any OR conditionals with this standard field
which is why I am using the Query Builder.
My question is why doesn't the actual email address work for a search criteria in Query Builder and how can I set up a criteria for a domain name (@companyxyz.com) so that I can see all communication with a particular company?

Hi,
This is the expected behavior of Outlook.
The Search Folder Criteria dialog has two From fields. One From field is under Messages tab and another From field is under the Advanced (or Query Builder) tab. The From field under Message tab uses email address while
the From field under Advanced or Query Builder tabs uses the display name. So, when we want to use Query Builder to create a Search folder that filters by email address, the Query Builder ignores the email address and uses the display name instead.

Workflow display name coming up with .AMERICAN at the end

Hi
For a couple of employees created in our system, the workflow display name is coming with 'AMERICAN' at the end which clearly looks like is the language setting for the user. ORIG_SYSTEM for this users in WF_LOCAL_ROLES is WF_LOCAL_USERS.
How can we fix this? There is no option called WF_LOCAL_USERS in the Synchroinze WF Local Roles program.

Reply to sarojak
To which orig system these users/roles belongs to? - WF_LOCAL_ROLES Shows Org system as WF_LOCAL_USERS
What is the display name value shown when you query wf_local_roles table for the user that is having reported issue? - with .AMERICAN added

AD display name change is wrong

Unity 4.0(2)
When using SAWeb to import a subscriber (exchange) the application puts the exchange alias in the display name field and this cannot be changed, this then updates AD and hence the display name in AD is wrong. I noticed an earlier post talking about bug CSCeb24466 and wondered if this would affect me in this way as I'm not using the Bulk Import Tool?

I have run into this problem today and am about to log a case with the TAC. My situation is a new Cisco Unity 4.0.3 Unified Messaging in an existing AD/Exchange environment. Unity Administration has been set up to import existing users only.
When importing new Unity users from Exchange, the Display Name in the Unity Web Administration page is reading the Calling Name (cn) value from Active Directory when selecting the user to import and then overwriting the Display Name in AD when the user is added.
(I have just read Bug CSCeb54025 and this is exactly the issue, will chase the ES from the TAC)
When we deny write access to the Display Name for the UnityDirSvc account, we are unable to add users to Unity.
Why does this account require access to write any fields on the AD user account except the cisco attributes? The customer does not wish Unity Account Administrators to be able to change non-cisco Active Directory fields (such as First Name, Last Name, Display Name etc.) through the Unity interface unless crucial to the operation of Unified Messaging.
Any suggestions??
Thanks
Ben

Changing your account display name

In the Mail's pref's there is a field you can fill in to display "full name' I used to display both first and surname, I have changed it to just first name in the pref field but it is still displying both first and second.
How do you over come this, do you have to trash mail pref's or is there a better solution?
Thanks

I will try this but before I do I think I may know where the problem is. When I type in my email address in the "to" field when composing a new email the display name comes up when the email is being typed, the kind of autofill preceedure it does. Will this be changed when rebuilding mail index?
no. that's set in the previous recipients list. you can access it and delete unneeded entries in Window menu->previous recipients.
there is also your entry in Address book that shows up there. But I'm confused. This is "to" field. I thought your problems were with 'from" field.

Mapping Display Name

OIM 11.1.1.5.4
I'm using a DBAT (11.1.1.5.0) to map data...in stage I've concatenated firstname and lastname and mapped it to Full Name.
After it runs, Display Name is filled in...what's up with that ... why have full name and display name ... when there is no full name field, only a display name field.
I'll change the stage map to point to Display Name.
Q's:
1. has anyone figured out how to concatenate 3 fields ... firstname + middlename + lastname ... in the DBAT connector
2. how do you deal with names with foreign characters ... if present, the connector fails to update display name (well full name) ... even though first-middle-last names are filled in.

Re-mapping the FN+LN concatenated field to DiplayName resolved the issue of DisplayName not getting populated if either FN or LN had a special character.
However, now the DisplayName contains a '?" if either FN or LN is something like Jose' (Jo?e) or Andre' (Andre?).
Running SQL> select USR_DISPLAY_NAME from USR where USR_DISPLAY_NAME LIKE '%?%';
Returns 250 rows.
I'm thinking it is the grave sign that is problematic, as the single quote shows up fine in last names.

Update display name of approval/request to something sensible

I'm trying to update the display name / request summary to something that's easy to understand to the approver. Their is currently no template meachanism to support this.
I've tried to update the request's displayname in a workflow activity, however the update is in the request history but still the old hard to understand request summary is displayed.
Then I figured out that the approval object has an attribute request, after which I tried to get the object using various query combination using wsenum. Without success.
Being desperate, I decided to update the database directly, with success. IS THEIR ANOTHER WAY TO THIS? I Would prefer to do this using the normal platform service.

Hi David thanks for the response. End users complain that the approvals make no sense and if they have several to dig through the are quite unfriendly and cannot quickly see what was requested
without digging. To the end I am trying to the following with approvals:
Customize the display name shown in the first column of "My Approvals" to something other than "Update to Person: John Smith". I would like to programmatically change it based on the equest
type. For instance "New Payroll Account Requested for John Smith" or "New OCS Account Requested for John Smith".
Inside of the approval object, I would like to change it to to clearly show what is being requested, by who and who approved it.
If you have any examples that you can share that would be great. I am not asking you to do my job but any pointers or at least a starting point
would be most helpful since the MS documentation is, ahem, thin.
Cheers!

Workflow Error Message: System Account - The Workflow could not set Content Approval Status

This is the first time I try an approval workflow. I am using a template in MS Word and assigned an approval workflow to it. The approval workflow is only going to one person in this case.
When I start the work flow the following 3 error messages show up:
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The Workflow could not set Content Approval Status. Enable content moderation for this list and run the workflow again.
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the e-mail has a valid recipient.
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
Thank you for your kind guidance.

Hi,
For the first error: Did you set Content Approval in the workflow? If so, see if you have it in the versioning settings of the list settings.
For the second error: double check your recipient is set up as being valid. Did you type in the email address or is it referring to a people picker field? also, make sure that in the workflow for the email that you actually populated it in the
To: field.
for the third error: I suspect that either your farm is not configured for email. Or, this error is a knock on from the second error. If you get the second error rectified it may clear this error. If not then double check the email settings
for your farm.

Vendor name is deleted after the approver changes the product category.

Hello,
We have implemented workflow WS14000044(Completion by Purchaser) and
WS14500015(Item-Based Main WF).
At workflow WS14500015 level, when the approver changes the product
category, the vendor name is deleted.The previous validation allows the
PO creation , But the PO is created without vendor.
Furthermore under transaction process purchase orders 'BBP_POC' the
purchaser can not access in change mode to the vendor field in order to
add a vendor.
How can we give access in change mode to the vendor field for purchaser in transaction 'BBP_POC' ?
Regards,
Lina

SP2010 Designer workflow "Set Content Approval Status" does not work

Hello
I'm having a problem with a workflow for one of my clients.It is a SharePoint 2010 environment and I can only use SharePoint 2010 designer (no visual studio).
We have an approval workflow in place, which works great. After the document approval workflow has does its thing, a new workflow can be launged by specific users (they have writing rights and can approve content). The workflow is used to set the release
date of the document. This can only be determined after content approval.
However, when the release date is set, the document approval status is changed to concept. This is of course to be expected, as we changed to document metadata. That is why I wanted to add the action "Set content approval" to this workflow. I cannot
seem to get this action to work. Right now the workflow does the following:
check out the document (check out is obligatory in our library)
set the release date field to the released date parameter (defined when starting the workflow)
check in the document
set content approval to approved.
The release date gets set to the parameter value, but the document is not checked in and the content approval status is not set. SharePoint produces the following error message (translated from Dutch): "An error occured. Cannot edit the item, possibly
because one or more columns require another type of content. Unknown error."
Guided by other posts online I gathered that this might be because the actions checkin and set content approval occur to close together. I tried letting the workflow pause for the duration of 1 minute after checking in, but this pauses the workflow indefinitely.
I then tried 5 minutes (as this is the time standard set by SP2010 designer) but this also resulted in indefinite pausing.
Posts online lead me to believe that I'm not the only suffering from this problem, but as of yet, I haven't been able to find a solution that works for me. Hopefully someone can help me.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the "Set Content Approval Status" didn’t work in SharePoint 2010 Designer workflow.
I try to reproduce the issue and the result is the same as yours.
If I only check out and check in the item, the workflow works well.
However, once I set Content Approval Status after checking in the item, the workflow get error.
As a workaround, I recommend to use two workflow to achieve what you want.
First, create the first workflow, and allow the workflow to be manually started.
Then, create the second workflow, and
start the workflow automatically when an item is changed.
When you start the first workflow, the document will be set value of the release date. And then the second workflow will be started automatically to set the content approval status.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Linda Li

Batch replacing document responsible or approver when employee quits

We have lots of documents where we manually assign approvers or document owners (for example in a contract library). I need a solution to be able to change these associations whenever someone quits. The solution should be used by library administrators
(end users) and not IT so simply running a Powershell script wont suffice.
The libraries are also version controlled and have content approval. The solution should be able to do the name changes without triggering new approval processes.
Any good ideas?
Henning

Did you try creating a SharePoint group and assign the group as approver in the workflow? So that you just need to modify the group member in case you want to change the approver from the workflow. You could have the group in the site collection.
Also refer to other options from the following post, hope this helps
