Document Set shared columns not propagated to documents newly added

I have a Document Set with shared Managed Metadata and Person fields.
I have found that sometimes some managed metadata fields are not propagated to newly added documents using drag and drop with Windows Explorer.
[ Note : Sharepoint 2013 with SP1 ]
Example
Field A = Person or group (optional)
Field B = Managed Metadata (optional)
Step 1 :
I create a new Document Set (lets call this one docset X), with field A empty and field B with a value.
I save this docset then open the document library in Windows Explorer and finaly, drag and drop a document inside the folder of this newly created docset.
When I look at the properties of the document, I found that there is no value in the field B even if it's not the case of the docset.
Step 2 :
I create another Document Set (lets call this one docset Z), and add a value inside field A and field B.
Again, I save this docset then open the document library in Windows Explorer and finaly, drag and drop a document inside the folder of this newly created docset.
When I look at the properties of the document, I found that there is a value in the field B and in the field A.
Conclusion
So it seems that the propagation of field B depends on if there is a value inside field A.
It does not make sense.
Any ideas ?

Hi vinz,
I tried many times and couldn't reproduce your issue in my environment(SP 2013+SP1), manged metadata field value in Docuemnt Set content item always could be propagated to documents dragged/dropped in this doc set folder via Windows Explorer regarding
other fields value.
You may try to test on other lists, site collections or web applications (may also test with new manged metada term store), see if this issue could be reproduced or isolate, the manged metada column value shouldn't be depend on other column value.
Also check ULS log, see if there is any related error message generated when the document is dragged to the library windows explorer with this issue.

Document sets and search not working properly

Hello,
I'm having some problems with the search function within my document library.
I have three kind of Content type Document sets:
Project A, Project B and Project C.
In my document library i have the following Document sets.
Project 1 | Project A document set
Project 2 | Project B document set
Project 3 | Project B document set
Project 4 | Project C document set
Project 5 | Project A document set
With the search function i can only find Project 2,3 and 4. The Content type document set (Project A, B and C) are all the same.
I already did a full crawl of search. Anyone any idea's what is the cause of this problem. I need to fix this before Friday, because of a presentation i need to do for school.
Hope you guys can help me out!

I've done a full crawl, but it had no effect. The Log shows nothing strange...
Or is it because i'm using . in the names?
Project 1 = 13.22.0001
Project
2 = 13.22.0002
Project 3 = 13.22.0003
etc.

Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Forgive my ignorance but I have never hear of iTunes Document Manager Pro. If you mean Document Manager Pro, i was able to find that. Back to your problem, have you tried opening one of those files in the iOS iWorks apps? Form the quick read that I did about this, .cwk files can be opened by Pages, Numbers or Keynote, depending on what type of document that it is and those files can be read by Document Manager Pro, after properly saving them. I don't see that you can go directly from the .cwk file in Document Manager Pro without converting them first.
I took a very quick look at the app, so I may be a missing something about its capability.

URL Button to Document on Shared Derive Not Working in SWF

I have been using the Xcelsius URL button to open / direct users into EXCEL files on a shared drive.
The functionality works in Professional 4.5 and in the Preview pane in 2008 Engage (which I just downloaded).
However, the functionality is not working in the SWF export of my dashboards from 2008 Engage.
I am receiving the following message: Cannot Navigate to External URL
The functionality will work from a PDF export, but nor SWF or HTML.
I have tried all variations of Encode URL box, and open in existing or new window.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

When you run a SWF file locally (not in the Xcelsius designer) by default Flash security settings do not let you call a URL or access files.
Refer to the Adobe Flash Player Security Restrictions section in the Xcelsius 2008 SP3 User Guide: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/xcelsius2008SP3/en/Xcelsius2008SP3_user_guide_en.pdf

Adobe Muse (2014.3) "Add Web Font" Function Not Working As Expected - Newly Added Fonts Become Unavailable Though Shown

Hello.
This has also been posted in the Community: Adobe Muse Bugs forum.
I've been having some odd/irregular issues though they have now become fairly predictable in nature. The issue is in regards to Adobe Muse (2014.3) and the availability of web fonts provided through the applications "Add Web Fonts" feature. Once added they perform as expected but then become "unavailable." Full details below. I have been a Creative Cloud Complete subscriber for a number of years so am fairly familiar with the way in which the system works minus a few issues that have popped up now and then, this one included.
System Info:
Adobe Creative Cloud (Full Subscription): Version 1.9.1.474
Adobe Muse: Version 2014.3
OS X Yosemite: 10.10.2
Here is a recap of what has been taking place. I'll detail the bug as best I can.
1. Created new Adobe Muse project. Everything normal.
2. Chose to add a new font through the "Add Web Fonts" function within Muse. A note, my Creative Cloud App is running/open at all times (in file synch mode).
3. Chose new fonts using above. All seemed fine (see screenshots below).
4. Fonts also were indicated as being "Synched" within Creative Cloud (screenshot below).
5. As expected the two fonts were added to the list of available Web Fonts within Muse (first screenshot below - left). I added them successfully to my site. Well after a number of hours I went back to this same font selection menu within Muse and the fonts were still visible yet the sub-menu that one would expect showing various forms (i.e. Bold, Italic, etc) was not available. In a sense the font could not be chosen from the list even though the name is clearly visible (second screenshot below - right).
Have no idea what may have been wrong. Saved Muse project, closed and reopened - nothing changed. Created new project - fonts still "shown" in menu but can't be used. Did find a vague description using Google of similar problem (different application) which recommended closing Creative Cloud Desktop App and reopening as one possible solution. This DID WORK initially yet the problem, though corrected for a period of time (few hours at most), would reappear again where one would again see yet not be able to choose from the two Web Fonts. Went so far as to uninstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop application and reinstalling. Still have not solved the problem.
Any thoughts as to what this may be would be welcome. Restarting the CC app each and every time the fonts become unavailable is quite time consuming to my workflow.
Thanks!

Abhishek,
Thank you for the reply. Wanted to comment on a few things.
I reviewed the other post that you've referenced. Nothing unusual jumped out at me as something that I was not aware of. I'm running an older iMac that is in good working condition. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24" screen. I know this issue is fleeting, as I stated earlier typically can be corrected with a restart of the CC Desktop application (that I am always running at startup). I have not been able to determine that shutting down Muse corrects the issue. I would, at this time say it doesn't.
I did open InDesign and see if the fonts in question, Open Sans and Open Sans Condensed, were present and usable. They were. The fonts are shown as being synched in my CC Desktop app window (even if they are not "installed" in Muse). That is expected but it may be a bug in how Muse brings in a font from those that are already synched to your CC account. I don't know enough about how that works to comment.
And just to complicate matters, Muse seems to be working again, the fonts that is. I brought them back in and they are showing up in all locations (which there are actually three - see screen shots).
First is primary text menu dropdown (to right of orange "Text").
Second is if you click orange Text link. Another drop down menu appears.
And lastly, the Text Panel to right of screen.
I also wanted to add this extra bit of information, for what it is worth. When the issue arises and you do not get the sub-menu dropdown showing various styles of the font (italics, bold, etc.), one can use click on the missing font if you had used it previously and it is present in the "previously used font" list.
Cheers!

BPM reporting not displaying data for newly added field

Hello All,
I have a BPM process up and running fine. I have added reporting for monitoring no. of context field. I have also created a VC model for displaying the BPM report data. However, VC application is displaying only the context field that I had selected initially during the New Reporting Datasource creation. It'd not display the reporting data for the field that I added later.
Please help

Hi Apoorva ,
Have you checked in the process repository whether your new process is activated or not?
Thanks & Regards,

External data column as shared column in document library with document sets

Hello,
I'm using a document library with document sets. Within this document library i have a External data column called "Project"
This column has it's columns:
Project: Installatietype
Project: Relatie
Project: Object
Project: Projectleider
Project: Status_project
I wan't to use the external data column as an shared column for my document set(s). But i can't figure out or this is possible.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set the external data column as a shared column in document set content type.
I tested the same scenario in my environment, and the external data column was not supported to be set as a shared column in document set.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:

Update Shared Column on Document Set creation

hi,
I have a cloud business app connected to sharepoint online,
on certain actions i create a document set in a sharepoint library , the document set i use has a shared column set - i would like to set this value at creation time or just after creation so that any documents added inherit the value.
from the cloud business app i am using the CSOM to create the document set (based on steven curran's post
http://sharepointfieldnotes.blogspot.com/2010/06/making-your-sharepoint-2010.html)
Any ideas?
Thx

Hi mrP,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update the shared column on document set creation.
I suggest you create a workflow to do it.
You can create the workflow as the below:
For the workflow Start Options, select “Start workflow automatically when an item is created”.
After the above, publish the workflow.

Wendy

Content type (Audio) not appearing as choice for document properties in a document set

We've created a document set for which there are currently 11 Content types. When we upload a document to the document set we have the following problems:
one of the content types is not available (A customized Audio Content Type).
we can't seem to set the order in which the content types appear in the list (incomplete though it is)
we also can't set the default content type for uploaded documents.
Is there a way to resolve these issues?
Notes:
Three are several document sets in the content hub but only one in the library where this content type is used.
We're running SP2013
Thanks in advance for your suggestions in resolving this.
Barry Cohen
Barry Cohen

Hi Barry,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the content type called Audio is not available when uploading a document to the document set.
I recommend to check if the content type is added to the Allowed Site Types of the document set content type.
Please follow the steps below:
Make sure that the content type has been added to the library.
In Library settings page of the library, click Document set content type under Content Types.
Click Document Set settings under Settings.
Check if the content type called Audio is included in the Content Types allowed in the Document Set. If not, please add it to the allowed content types.
Thanks,
Victoria

Display Document Set Columns Within The Document Set

Hello all! Hopefully you all can let me know if the idea I have in my head is possible:
Background: I have a Document Library with a custom made Document Set that has about 15 columns. The way I initially designed this, I left about 10 of the fields as "Hidden" because we didn't want the user to fill out that information
when creating a Document Set. That information would be completed in the next step through a Workflow. The Document Set Welcome Page has been left pretty much untouched with the usual web parts for Document Set Properties and the view of the items within the
Document Set.
Question: What I would like to know is...would it be possible to display those Document Set fields within the Document Set itself? At the moment, if I try to add another Document Library web part and view it, the information web part is
empty, or it contains information about one of the items within the Document Set.
Simplified Structure of Document Set:
Name (required)
Fiscal Year (Required)
Total Cost (Required)
Approval Date (Hidden)
Requisition # (Hidden)
Team Members (Hidden)
Reminder Date (Hidden)
User creates a new Document Set, fills out the information, and saves (this triggers a background workflow that approves the Document Set). After approval, a new workflow is started to provide the information for the Hidden fields (and also schedules a reminder
for that Reminder date.)
The goal would be to display those Hidden fields in another web part on the page. Right now, I have users going back up to the main level of the Document Library to look at a view that contains those fields.
Hopefully I haven't confused you all too much! Please let me know if my idea is possible and any resources you might have!
Thanks!

Here is the approach to read document set columns and assign to other webparts:
for each document set you can find the id when you clicking on the document set or navigating to the welcome page,
using this id read query string and the associated item column values and assign to otherwebpart .
Reference code:
//page_load for other webpart read the query string of welcome page
if (Page.Request.QueryString["ID"] != null)
                ID = Convert.ToInt32(Page.Request.QueryString["ID"]);
                if (itemID > 0)
                    GetDocumentSetItem(ID , site);
protected void GetDocumentSetItem(int itemid, SPSite sSiteUrl)
            SPSite site = sSiteUrl;
            SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
            SPList list = web.Lists.TryGetList("DocumentlibraryName"); //where documentset content type attached
            SPListItemCollection items = list.GetItems();
            SPListItem item = null;
            if (itemid > 0)
                item = list.Items.GetItemById(itemID);//getting the current item
   //read the document set item column values and assign it other webpart controls ,
                txtDocsetidname.Text = Convert.ToString(item["FileLeafRef"]);
                txtDocsetid.Text = Convert.ToString(item["hiddenfield"]);
In the welcome page I have placed button to load webpart ,while loading the webpart I am reading the query string assigning the values to otherwebparts.

Set the column order in document library using power shell

hi all,
am looking for a power shell script which set the column order in the document library, when i try to upload a document.
ie; i am uploading a doc to the doc lib. which has the below columns:
columnA -   [choice field - mandatory ]
columnB -   [lookup field - mandatory ]
columnC -   [single line of text - optional ]
columnD -   [choice field - optional ]
columnE -   [choice field - mandatory ]
now when the end user uploads a   document in my doc lib, i would like to see the mandatory columns takes up the top order and then optional fields.
columnA
columnB
columnE
columnC
columnD
so, is there any script, through which i can set the mandatory columns which will be coming in top and the optional fields as next order

This is sample PowerShell code to reorder fields in a content type of a list.
$web = Get-SPWeb http://aissp2013/sites/TestSite
$list = $web.Lists["MyList"]
$contentType = $list.ContentTypes | where {$_.Name –eq "MyTestCT"}
$ctArray = "Title","ColumnA","ColumnB","ColumnD","ColumnC"
$contentType.FieldLinks.Reorder($ctArray)
$contentType.Update()

Document Set name as refiner in Search results?

I'm wondering if there is a way to use the document set name as a refiner in a search results page so a user can search a specific site or document library and choose the document set name to narrow the results? Initially I thought I could create a
shared column on the document set (in the properties of the document set type itself) which looked up or calculated the document set name and then this would be shared with the documents within the set. I couldn't find a way to get the name of the set.
What would be the best way (if any), of getting the search results or document properties themselves (if I created a column which contained the document set name for e.g.) to show the document set (if populated) that the document belongs to?
Document Library
Document 1
Document 2
Document Set A
     Document A1
     Document A2
Document Set B
     Document B1
How can I get search results to show a refiner on Document A1 and A2 indicating they're in the same Document Set A? I realise I need crawled/managed property but how best should I set this up?
If this is not possible can anyone suggest an alternative please?
Many thanks!
Scott

Hi,
I am afraid that there is no existing managed properties on the document which we can count on to know which document sets the document belongs to. Just like what you said "created a column which contained the document set name", this could
be a workaround to achieve what you want.
To do that:
1. Add a new site column named DocumentSetName and add it to
DocumentSet Content Type. And give value "DocumentSet_A" for document set A and "DocumentSet_B" for document set B.
2. In the Document Set settings, enable the newly added column as
Shared Columns. It means that all documents added to this document set will share the column and its value.
3. Reindex this document library.
4. In the Search Results refiner, add the automatically created Managed Property
as Refiner.
With this method, you can filter the documents with the name of document sets when searching office documents in search center. The only information you need input manually is Value of the site column.

Moreover, if you have the requirement to create batch of DocumentSets without any manual input, you can refer to the following link which explain how to create them with proper settings and default values.

Adding individual tasklist to document set

Hello!
I'm looking in too the functionality of SharePoint 2013 for a company where i'm an intern. I wan't to know if the following is possible.
We wan't to add a document set for each project. When we view this document set "project" i wan't to add an tasklist just for that "project". Is it possible to view an individual tasklist on the page of the document set? So when i click
on a document set "project" i not only see the documents but als an tasklist just for that project?
I wan't to know this because a projectsite is not ideal in this case. Their need to be one library which contains all the information about all projects.
Kind regards,
Robbert-Jan

Not really, you could have a shared task list which has a column for 'project'. That way you'd be able to filter down to only the relevant tasks for your particular project quickly.
A single document library is often the simplest approach but it can get hard to control and manage over time. You can use things like the content by search web part to 'roll up' content to a controling area if that makes life easier.

Content type "Link to a Document" to content type Document SET

Hello,
Could you please assist.
I have a customized document sets.
I added the content type "Link to a Document” to content type Document SET.
I uploaded several documents to each document set. There are several identical documents in different document sets.
How can I arrange for uploading just a link to the documents, but not the additional documents?
In other words, how to arrange for convenience for users to download a link?
I mean them not to enter
http://server/files ,
but a certain “dropdown” appeared, a kind of menu with a choice of downloaded documents.
Suppose, I added to each file its own attribute link and this link. I want to present in form of creation “Link to a Document”
There are 2 forms of creation. The first one is where we point a link. The second one is where we point the attributes.
For example:
I have two document sets: Project 1 and Project 2.
There are 2 documents “instruction.doc” and “invoice.xls” uploaded to Project 1. Each document has a field – link (a link to this very document).
I want to add a link to “invoice.xls” in Project 2.
I want to do it in that way a user could choose a list of links from a dropdown menu.
Thanks

Lookup column is the attribute of file. Attribute can not be upload! . Did you try to use the content type of link to document? If yes, you can understand my question. I want to change uploaded.aspx ( link of document) and add lookup column to this form.
Standart scenario: User create link to docunent. 1. Prees button start. 2. Input text link to upload.aspx form 3. Set attributes new. Aspx I want: 1. Press button. 2. User press dropdawn menu and choise neddeng link. 3. Set attributes Plese read my question
again. Sorry for my not good english
