  • 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

  • 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.

  • What's the difference between SharePoint 2013 and Office 365 Team Sites?

    Hi there,
    What are the differences between SharePoint 2013 and Office 365 Team Sites?
    If I would like to develop a professional corporate website with SharePoint technology (because the company allready uses Office 365), do you recommend using SharePoint 2013 (in the cloud) or Office 365 Team Sites? And why?
    Thank you very much!

    You cannot make SPO Team Sites anonymous-enabled, therefor they're a moot point for a public website.
    While slightly out of date, take a look at this:

  • Login SharePoint 2013 without entering domain

    In my case, SharePoint and client machine is different domain.Has any way allow SharePoint 2013 log in without entering domain?
    I found that IIS 6 has a option for Basie authentication and set up default domain, is it suitable for new version IIS and SP13?
    Ref: https://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/c2cfb57c-a574-4a7b-b91b-49fddb9ad4c8.mspx?mfr=true
    Thanks.

    If I am not mistaken IIS 6.0 has a default domain name setting, but please verify..
    This is *incorrect* for SharePoint sites.
    There the server name is always assumed as the "domain".
    So writing in only username would work fine if username is a local user on the server where the SharePoint system is running but not otherwise.
    Instead of bothering about needing to write domain name in addition to username, the problem should be avoided altogether by
    a) making sure that the site is in the Intranet Security Zone for IE 6 / 7 and that the default value of "automatic login only in the Intranet zone" is still selected.
    OR
    b) if the site isn't in the Intranet, by specifying for the IE Security zone that it is in that Login is "automatic login using current name and password".
    The way we've done this is to configure ONLY Basic Authentication in the IIS site and then add the domain to the Default domain text box.  This works fine, but unfortunately sends a user's credentials in clear text.  To prevent this, we used a
    self-signed SSL cert to keep traffic encrypted even though its using Basic Authentication.
    Of course you may want to experiment with using both Integrated Windows and Basic Authentication and possibly get a mixture of both behaviors

  • Anonymous User forms in Sharepoint 2013 Online (Office 365)

    I'm using Sharepoint 2013 online with Office 365.
    Is there any way for an anonymous user to communicate with the site using forms (preferably Infopath)?
    There are many, many versions of this question on the web, but most answers seem to talk about features I just don't have in Office 365 Sharepoint - such as Application Management in Central Administration, which just isn't there.
    The only feature I can find is the Excel Survey in Form Templates. This is at least a start, but what I really want is the ability for an anonymous user (a customer) to submit information into a Custom List using a form; or, second best, in an email (WITHOUT
    having to have Infopath Filler installed). this is all do-able for a fully-subscribed user of the intranet site, but I can't afford to buy individual subscriptions for all my customers. Nor do I want them seeing each other's data, or accessing my intranet!
    I have spent so long researching this and getting nowhere, and really need to know if it's just a straight 'no, it's impossible', or keep trying.
    Thanks
    Jonathan

    Hi Jonathan,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to enable anonymous user with forms in SharePoint 2013 Online.
    There is a Sandbox solution from CodePlex, it manages anonymous access on Office 365 / SharePoint 2013. Please have a try.
    https://anonymous365.codeplex.com/
    In addition, I am not an expert for SharePoint 2013 Online, I suggest you create a new thread on SharePoint Online forum, more experts will assist you with SharePoint Online.

  • CONNECT ORACLE11g database in sharepoint 2013 without using metaman or any third party tool

    Hi!
              I want to access ORACLE db and bring it as an external list  in SharePoint 2013. How can it be achieved without using third party tools? So far i referred Creating
    web service, .Net connectivity assembly or crafting the BCS xml model file manually are the techniques that can be employed to achieve. Can anyone share the code to create External content type and External list by adopting any one of the techniques.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    To connect SharePoint to your Oracle Database, you should use the BCS.
    You will find here what is the structure of the XML File to create to access your Oracle DB.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff464424(v=office.14).aspx
    Once you finished your BDCM, you will be able to import it with the following mehod :
    http://www.manula.com/manuals/lightning-tools/bcs-meta-man-for-windows/1/en/topic/importing-the-bdc-model-into-sharepoint
    The last step will be to create your external list from your BDCM.

  • 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.
    Smile Always

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

  • 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.
