Document properties aren't syncing up with SharePoint in Record Center Libraries

In a record center's document/record library, I'm not able to link word document properties with sharepoint item attributes using "Quick Parts" as I can with Document Libraries.
Could this be because of a separate issue with how the Record Center handles properties?

Hi Dnerd,
We have found this issue. We can reproduced this issue as the followings:
Create a Team site, create a document library
In the library, create a column called Test1, then upload a document to the library
Open the document with office app. In the Quick Parts->Document property, we can find the name of the custom column Test1
Create a Record Center, create a custom column Test2 in Record library, then upload a document to the library
Open the document with office app. In the Quick Parts->Document property, we can not find the name of the custom column Test2
Then create a new library in the Record Center, and create a column for the library. Do a same test, the result is same with the result in Record library.
Thanks,
Wendy

Office 365: Prgramtically sync Calendar with SharePoint team site calendar

Hello everyone,
I need to sync office 365 Calendar with SharePoint team sites Calendars. We have SharePoint online site which having multiple sub sites, each sub site has a calendar control and we need calendar controls need to be sync with the outlook calendar available
on top bar of office 365.
We need to do it programmatically as we have more then 200 hundred sub sites, please guide me on this that how it is possible using developer app or PowerShell commands.

I think it might help to clarify what you mean. When you say "Office 365 Calendar", what you really mean is the Calendar associated with whomever is logged in, stored in Exchange. When you see the "Calendar" link in the little bar at the top of the page,
that's actually just a link to the Outlook Web Access calendar for a particular user's calendar stored in the Office 365 Exchange server. It's exactly the same calendar that would show up if a user had Outlook installed on their local computer and opened it
up and looked at the calendar.
That being said, you aren't going to want to synch every calendar in your whole SharePoint site with a single user's calendar. I think there are a couple approaches for you:
Create a calendar overlay in SharePoint, which displays other calendars on the current calendar view. Unfortunately, there's a limit as to how many calendars you can do this for, it's far less than 200.
Allow users to create calendar overalys in Outlook. This is the same idea as what you're doing in SharePoint, except users are doing this within Outlook. Again, adding 200 overlays isn't practical.
You can try creating an additional company calendar in Exchange that's not tied to a particular user, but then you'll have to run a timer job to keep the Outlook calendar in synch with the SharePoint calendar. This is a lot more cumbersome than just displaying
the SharePoint calendar, since you're physically copying events over to the Outlook calendar. If you do that, you personally are responsible for keeping the two calendars synched up, rather than just displaying an Exchange calendar in SharePoint, or displaying
a SharePoint calendar in Outlook.
You might looking into third party tools such as
http://www.boostsolutions.com/calendar-rollup-feature-list.html. (I haven't tried that product, it just looks like it might be the type of thing to check out.
If I have any advice, I would recommend as much as possible creating views of calendars, not actually trying to synch data, unless you're doing a one-way synch. (Synching calendar data can be a little bit difficult because you have reoccurring events to
take into account.)

Failed to Sync OneNote 2013 with Sharepoint 2013 - Saying Required Properties option is selected

Hi All
I am trying to integrating OneNote 2013 with Sharepoint 2013, but whatever i do it came up as:
We can't sync because the Required Properties option is selected on the server. Disable the option, or move the notebook to a new location. (Error code: 0xE0000B9B)
I've followed knowledge based and turn off the Required Properties as i can see off, but error still showing up.
Has anyone encountered this error before?
Thanks a lot for any contribution.

HI G_Virus,
Please check if any field is set as required, then set it to optional for the OneNote content type from the problem library.
And also check Jannifer's reply mentioned that compare this content type fields to the OneNote without issue from other site collection or farm per the following post, see if it helps.

Linking Custom Document Properties to SharePoint

We currently have a Microsoft Office Add-in that, among other things, reads and writes Custom Document Properties. Our add-in includes a user-dialogue through which these values are captured and subsequently displayed within the document.
We now have a requirement to integrate this functionality with SharePoint 2010. In particular, we want our Office custom document properties to be co-ordinated with equivalent SharePoint server properties (i.e. site columns in Document Libraries) so that,
when a given SharePoint property value is changed the equivalent custom document property is also changed.
Users must be able to set the properties in either SharePoint or in an Office App (Word for example) and the changes be reflected in both places.
Our solution must work with the desktop versions of Office 2010/13 and the non-Office365 versions of SharePoint 2010/13.
During our initial prototyping we have looked at a number of possible approaches (including Document Property Promotion and Demotion) but are still not sure which appropriate to use.
With regard to Document Property Promotion and Demotion for example, we found that, if we create a document outside SharePoint, then invoke our add-in to set document properties, then upload the document to SharePoint; the SharePoint properties and the
Office Custom Document Properties are initially in step, any subsequent changes cause problems.
If we now change the SharePoint properties by editing them in SharePoint and then open the document in Word, the Custom Document Properties are unchanged. Similarly, any change we make in Word is not reflected in the
SharePoint properties when the document is saved back to the SharePoint library.
Our properties are all of type string in Word and type Choice in SharePoint.
For various reasons, our solution must not depend in any way on Office templates.
We would like to know what would be the recommended approach to implementing this functionality.
Below provides a basic diagram of our requirement:

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to sync the custom document properties between document and SharePoint Library.
A solution can be like this: We can add an Event Receiver to this library, it will be triggered when there is a file is checked in or the item of list is updated, then we can
read/write the specific document properties and sync between document and SharePoint Library.
The whole scenario would be like this: When a document is uploaded and checked in, the method put in the Event Receiver will be triggered and update the related columns of library.
When we updated these columns in library, we can capture the ItemUpdated event and update the corresponding properties of this document.
Here is a step by step sample on creating a simple Item added event receiver:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff408183(v=office.14).aspx
For about how to update the custom properties of an Office Document, it is recommended you post another question to the Microsoft Office for Developers forum, you will get more
help and confirmed answers from there.

Sync Phone with Mac

Hello,
I am converting from a PC to a Mac and I have a question about syncing my iPhone 3Gs to my Mac after it was already synced to a PC. I always used Outlook on the PC to sync and contacts. I will obviously start out with no contacts and no songs (and ringtones) on my Mac. How do I initially tell iTunes on the Mac that the data on my iPhone is correct and the information on the Mac is not the source? I don't want to loose ring tones that I paid for and do not want to have to retype contacts.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
--mitch

You will need to transfer your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac - the iTunes named folder where all iTunes content is stored including 3rd party apps. If you live near an Apple store, the Apple store will help you with this along with transferring all other data from your PC that you will need or want to access on your Mac such as photos, documents, etc.
Before syncing contacts with the Address Book application and before syncing calendar events with iCal, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on your Mac. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for contacts and calendar events with the Address Book and iCal, which you want to select.

Move documents to records center when workflow is completed

I use SharePoint 2013. In my Library, my document goes through a workflow. As soon as the workflow (developed on 2013 wf platform) is done, the document needs to be send to the Records Centre automatically. How can I do that?
Retention Stage property (In information policy) only cater for: Time Period = Created / Modified / Declare Record. How can I check for wf status = Completed and then move the document to Records Centre?

So - when I open the EditForm.aspx page and attempt to add the proper Document Library Properties - and see that the Edit Document Properties Form is blank no matter what File - I try to add I get this Error:
“The page you have selected does not contain a reference to the correct SharePoint list”
Therefore - since the EditForm.aspx page hasn't been changed in a while - what are some items to look at to remedy this odd problem.

All,
I fixed this - by Opening the page in Designer - going to Insert -> SharePoint Controls -> List Form then selecting the proper library from the list - then selecting Edit Item Form. I then right mouse clicked the library and selected Properties
-> clicked List Properties then clicked the Supporting Files tab and under the Edit Document Forms Property - selected the item as such - clicked OK - saved everything -> refreshed the browser then all worked!

How to prevent editing a SharePoint site column value from document properties view of a downloaded document?

Hi,
We have created a SharePoint site column with below settings
1. ShowInEditForm - False
2. ShowInNewForm - False
3. ShowInDisplayForm - True
With the above definition, the site column showing only in view properties form not in New and Edit forms. This column is added to a document library and updating this column value will be managed by event receiver code when a document is uploaded.
Till this point, everything is working OK.
But the issue is when we download and open a document from the above document library, under document properties the above column (with value) is visible along with other document default properties and this column value is editable. With this issue,
user is able to set a new value and overwrite the existing value by re-uploading the document.
Could you please let me know how to handle this issue so that user should not be allowed to edit except viewing the value/property (read only)?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ramesh

You can set "ShowInFileDlg" property of field to "FALSE". Using this you will not see that field in document properties list

How to upload a document with values related to document properties in to document set at same time using Javascript object model

The following code shows how to use REST/Ajax to upload a document to a document set.
function uploadToDocumentSet(filename, content) {
appweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPAppWebUrl'));
hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPHostUrl'));
var restSource = appweburl +
"/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/restdocuments/testds')/files/add(url='" + filename + "',overwrite=true)?@target='" + hostweburl + "'";
var dfd = $.Deferred();
$.ajax(
'url': restSource,
'method': 'POST',
'data': content,
processData: false,
timeout:1000000,
'headers': {
'accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
'X-RequestDigest': $('#__REQUESTDIGEST').val(),
"content-length": content.byteLength
'success': function (data) {
var d = data;
dfd.resolve(d);
'error': function (err,textStatus,errorThrown) {
dfd.reject(err);
return dfd;
Then when this code returns you can use the following to update the metadata of the new document.
function updateMetadataNoVersion(fileUrl) {
appweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPAppWebUrl'));
hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPHostUrl'));
var restSource = appweburl +
"/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/restdocuments/testds')/files/getbyurl(url='" + fileUrl + "')/listitemallfields/validateupdatelistitem?@target='" + hostweburl + "'";
var dfd = $.Deferred();
$.ajax(
'url': restSource,
'method': 'POST',
'data': JSON.stringify({
'formValues': [
'__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.ListItemFormUpdateValue' },
'FieldName': 'Title',
'FieldValue': 'My Title2'
'bNewDocumentUpdate': true,
'checkInComment': ''
'headers': {
'accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose',

dfd.resolve(d);
'error': function (err) {

Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Have Pages 4.1 installed. Same files will open ok from Finder, Pages App. Recently sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) after iOS5 installed.

Same files will open ok from Finder/Pages App./selected file. Prob not noted until recently after sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) when I installed iOS5. Anyone-- please?!

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

I am not able to use Firefox with Sharepoint - I can only open a file in read-only mode and cannot checkout the document and edit.

I would like to use Firefox with Sharepoint.
However, I am only able to open a file in "read only" mode whch means I cannot edit the document and save it. I am also not able to "check-out" a document in Sharepoint and edit it at the same time.

This may not work for everyone, but I solved this problem by clicking on the file name in sharepoint, not the document icon to the left of the name. This then brought up the various options, including checking out, editing, version history etc. It seems obvious but I have only just realised this!
