Document Managment in Sharepoint 2013

Hi,
In Sharepoint 2013, i need to create a 4 level of folder structure for every project under a program. i.e
1. Top level site
2. 3 subsites (divisions)
3. Each divison have 1 -10 programs
4. Each program can have n number of projects
5. Each project have 4 levels of folder structure to store the documents for each phase of the project.
My idea is to create a document set content type and mangemed meta data. But i am very confused in creating the folder structure and its contents. Can someone help me.

Hi ,
It is better to go with document set , as you can define properties to your document set also. Folder is just a container .

Also, I tried removing SP.SOD.executeFunc

Document Management in Sharepoint and CRM

How to create a copy of document that is uploaded in CRM to sharepoint?
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.

See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg334768.aspx
This describes the integration scenarios where you can offload document management to SharePoint, thus reducing the size of the CRM database.
You'll want to investigate the CRM List Component as well:

Can't see 'Upload Multiple Document' option in sharepoint 2013

After upgrading Sharepoint 2010 to 2013, i can't see 'Upload Multiple Document' option under files tab. I have downloaded and place the file 'STSUPLD.DLL' into Office14 and Office15 folder but IE is not asking me to run any microsoft ActiveX control as mentioned here
http://thuansoldier.net/?p=2289
I am using Office 2010 with IE9 (32 bit) .
Am i missing anything ?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not see the “Upload Multiple Document” option in SharePoint 2013.
In SharePoint 2013 the “Upload Multiple” Options has been depreciated. As we all known, there are two alternative ways to Upload multiple documents:option
1 - Using the drag-and-drop functionality, option 2 - Windows Explorer view.
You can upgrade your IE from IE9 to IE10 then check whether it works.
You can also use the Windows Explorer view to upload multiple documents.
You will probably get the following error.
To resolve this add the SharePoint site as Trusted in your Browser and Make sure that the WebClient service is running. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then press Enter.
In the list of services, locate the WebClient service, and then make sure that its status in the Status column is set to Started. If its status is not set to Started, double-click WebClient, click Start, and then click OK.
Once done restart the browser and try opening the Windows Explorer again. In the Windows Explorer you can copy and paste Multiple documents as done in earlier SharePoint versions.

Get/retreive managed metadata column value from Document Library using SharePoint 2013 JSOM

Hi,
I am trying to retrieve managed metadata column (NewsCategory) value in SharePoint 2013 Document library using JSOM.
I get "Object Object" rather than actual value.
I tried:-
var newsCat = item.get_item('NewsCategory');
alert(newsCat) //Displays [Object Object]
var newsCatLabel = newsCat.get_label();
var newsCatId = newsCat.get_termGuid();
But, I get the error "Object doesn't support property or method get_label()"
I also tried :-
var newsTags = item.get_item(' NewsCategory ');
for (var i = 0; i < newsTags.get_count() ; i++) {
var newsTag = newsTags.getItemAtIndex(i);
var newsTagLabel = newsTag.get_label();
var newsTagId = newsTag.get_termGuid();
Even now I get the error "Object doesn't support property or method get_count()"
I have included " NewsCategory " in the load request:- context.load(items, 'Include(File, NewsCategory)');
Any idea what the issue is? Do I have to add any *.js file using $.getScript?
I added following .js files
var scriptbase = _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl + "/_layouts/15/";
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Runtime.js", function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.js", function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Core.js", function () {
Thanks in Advance,

Hi Patrick,
I already added those references. I just pasted the parts of script snippet in my initial post. To avoid confusion I am pasting here complete script.
2.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var scriptbase = _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl + "/_layouts/15/";
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Runtime.js", function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.js", function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Core.js", function () {
function getdata() {
var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = context.get_web();
var list = web.get_lists().getByTitle('Documents');
var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
var filterCategory = 'Solutions';
var IDfromTaxonomyHiddenList = 15;
camlQuery.set_viewXml('<View><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef LookupId="TRUE" Name="'+filterCategory+'" /><Value Type="ID">' + IDfromTaxonomyHiddenList +'</Value></Eq></Where></Query></View>');
/*the above CAML query successfully gets all the list items matching the criteria including "NewsCategory" managed metadata column values
But when I try to display the value it retrieved it ouputs/emits Object Object rather than actual values */
var items = list.getItems(camlQuery);
context.load(items, 'Include(File,NewsCategory)');
context.executeQueryAsync(
Function.createDelegate(this, function (sender, args) {
if (items.get_count() > 0) {
var listItemEnumerator = items.getEnumerator();
while (listItemEnumerator.moveNext()) {
var oListItem = listItemEnumerator.get_current();
var file = oListItem.get_file();
var name = file.get_name();
var newsCat = oListItem.get_item('NewsCategory'); alert(newsTags.constructor.getName());
alert(newsCat) //Displays [Object Object]
var newsCatLabel = newsCat.get_label(); // Here it errors out with message "Object doesn't support property or method get_label()"
var newsCatId = newsCat.get_termGuid();
} //end while
}//end if
Function.createDelegate(this, function (sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getdata, "SP.Core.js");
</script>
In the above script "var name = file.get_name(); " gets the exact file name.
But the line "var newsCat = item.get_item('NewsCategory');
alert(newsCat) //Displays [Object Object] rather than actual value.
Issue resolved replace "oListItem.get_item('NewsCategory');" with oListItem.get_item('NewsCategory').get_label();"
Thanks

How do I show/refresh data from an Access Web App in an Excel spreadsheet saved in a Document Library on Sharepoint 2013 online

I have an Access 2013 Web App in my Sharepoint 2013 online website. It contains a query to report on its data (several, actually, but let's keep it simple). I want to connect an Excel spreadsheet to the query, visualise the data in pivot tables/graphs/whatever,
save the spreadsheet in a Document Library, and let other team site Sharepoint users open the spreadsheet (preferably in Excel online, but with Excel client if it has to be) and see/copy the data, refreshed with the latest information from the Access Web App.
Simple, surely!
The way I'm doing it at the moment is to create an ODC file to connect to the cloud-based Access 2013 database, save that ODC in a Data Connection Library in the SP site, and use the saved ODC file as data source in the Excel spreadsheet. This works and
successfully keeps everything 'in the cloud' but I can't get it to refresh in Excel Online, and if I open the spreadsheet in Excel Client I have to enter the database password every time to refresh it. I don't really want to issue this password to everyone
who might want to view the data. There must be a better way than this ODC method, I suspect.
Googlings on this have led down various blind alleys - Excel Services, PowerPivots, Web Parts - but I'm stuck on which to follow through. Please, someone, point me to an article/book/website that explains how to do this step-by-step in simple language..
thanks
Jonathan

I don't see any quick way of achieving it - at least there's no such functionality exists in SharePoint. All you can do, develop an event receiver that will update the fields in the list item once the excel file is added/updated. You can use OpenXml API
to manipulate the excel file.
Thanks,

Unable to edit document template in SharePoint 2013

We have uploaded a set of templates that users can select from the drop down list in the Document field in the Document Library. We now need to edit one of these document templates.
We follow the procedure and make the edits which changes the template but when we then select that template from the drop down list, the edits have not been actioned.
Can anyone please assist?

Hi,
As I understand, The modification was not saved back to the template.
How do you edit the document template?
Check if the URL of the template is right. You can go to the site setting->site content type->click the content type you want to edit->advanced setting->edit the template->open the template, and click file->to check if the URL under the template is right.
As a workaround, when you edit the template you can save the template in the local computer, and you can upload the template you have saved in the advanced setting for the content type.
The article below is about how to create Document Templates for Document Libraries in SharePoint 2010, it also can work in SharePoint 2013.

Set unique file name for document library in SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I have document library in the sharepoint 2013 with two dropdown fields-dept name,dept id.
My requirement is to create a namiing convention for each file uploded in the document library.
So the naming convention should be "deptname-deptid-filename-Id".
I tried this naming convention using workflow as below-
In this case ,first I attach the file and then it asks for dept name & id,Whwn i input these value,it shows error message as this file is modified by you at this point of time.On cancel it saves the attached file but does not save the deptname and dept
id.
please help if any idea or suggestion.
Thank you.

The only way I've ever seen this work while adding a new file is to use an Event Reciever. Build an Event
Receiver that fires whenever a file is added and have the code change the name of the file from whatever the user titled it to the naming convention you are using.

Third party tool for document preview in sharepoint 2013

Hello,
we are looking for third party tool which provide preview of any documents in documnet library in sharepoint 2013. So when users just hover over the document, they can see the preview. Do
any of you please provide a good suggetion in case if you have used in the past? In my research I came across
Knowledgelake and harepoint. Also I think there is one Metalogix but I know for sure it a way too costly. So please help if you know who does this job with a fair amount of price.
Thanks.

I've found Ontolica Preview to be adequate for this. Reasonable product and supports a lot of formats

What is the use of custom properties for terms in term store management of SharePoint 2013

Hi All,
Can some one pls explain what is the purpose of custom properties for terms in term store management tool of SharePoint 2013.
In general, for each term we have shared and local properties. What is the real purpose in terms of SharePoint development.
Please share with possible scenarios. Does it refer's to a hierarchical metadata in SharePoint ?
Thanks keshav,Share point Developer

The custom properties for terms allow you to further define or clarify a term via the properties. You can then display these properties in search results or specify query rules that look for specific custom properties.
Here is an example of how to create a query rule using custom properties:

Here is an example that uses code to verify that a custom property exists on a term object that is pinned to another term object:

Ellipse not working in few document libraries in SharePoint 2013

I have few document libraries with 500+ documents.
I am not able to edit the properties using ellipse.
I tried on all browsers and on all version.
It is working for other document libraries

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got an error when click on ellipsis then "Edit Properties" in a Document library.
I tried to reproduce the issue, every documents in my environment worked well.
As you has said that It is working for other document libraries, you can create a new document library with the same "parameters" and then transfer
the documents into it, then check whether it works, maybe the current library has been corrupted.
You can also check the ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
Besides, here are two similar posts, you can use as a reference:
