Documents uploaded from SharePoint Task to a specific document library

This is done in SharePoint online. Users get assigned a task. (I am doing this from workflow using SPD). They need to upload a document and save the task. (I am using a multiline textbox with rich text for this).
Questions:
1. Is there a way to have the documents go to a certain document library? When we have a rich textbox, the default save location is 'site assets'. Is there a way to have the default location to a certain document library?
2. Is there a way to force a certain naming format to the document?
3. Is using a multiline rich textbox the right one?
Would appreciate any pointers.
Thanks, Faye

Hi Faye,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the destination library where the document would be uploaded to in the multiple line of text column.
#1. We can choose the destination library when we upload the documents, please refer to the picture below:
#2. To force a naming format for the documents, I recommend to create another workflow associated with the destination library to update the name of the documents and set the workflow to start when an item is created.
#3. To achieve this goal, use the multiple line of text column is a good way to upload documents by OOB. You can also create workflows in Visual Studio to enable users to upload documents.

Unable to upload from iPhoto to FB after creating new library

Two days ago I exported all my photos/videos from iPhoto 09 to an EHD. I created a new library - Library 2012 - and since have added about 50 photos and one 2-minute video.
I can click on "email" at the bottom of my iPhoto screen and successfully send images.
However, I cannot upload photos or videos to FB. I start on my FB page, click "add photo/video". In the good ole days, this took me to iPhoto and I could select my image. Since creating Library 2012, I cannot access my library through any of the links that are on the screen that appears. I've tried the following, all leading to a dead end:
Under Media > Photos: Nothing populates the column to the right.
Under Places > Applications > iPhoto > "preview" of iPhoto populates column to the right. Clicking it uploads the useless "preview"
Under Places > iPhoto Library 2012 > iPhoto Library 2012. Clicking it uploads to the useless "preview"
(Note: I had taken screenshots of the above, to better illustrate, but was unable to upload them to this forum as well. Frustrating much?!)
I am just at my wits' end. Any assistance will be appreciated. TIA!

Thanks! Apologies for the delay in reporting back - was off-line most of the weekend.
I just ran the repair permissions with Disk utility, as suggested. A great number of permissions differed ... but, in the end, after it was completed and I re-booted, the same issue remains with iPhoto.
I'm now running "Permission Verify" just for the heck of it.

How can you select which pictures to upload from camera? plus facebook ?

Is there any way to select which pictures from your digital camera you would like to upload on to iphoto? Or is the only way to upload all of the pictures on your camera? I have 214 pictures on my camera and 210 of them are already in iphoto...i only want to upload the new 4!
Another question..
I am trying to upload my pictures on to Facebook, and they are significantly smaller than the pictures I uploaded via my PC. How can I get them to upload at normal size?
THANKS!

Re: the FaceBook problem
This sounds like you're uploading the Thumbnails that iPhoto uses to display the pics in the iPhoto Window not the pics themselves. Have you been uploading from the Data folder in the iPhoto Library Folder?
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

How do I upload from my IPod Nano to my Computer

Hi There,
My son boaught me an IPod Nano for Christmas and loaded it with some of my CDs.
I have a computer and want to add additional songs and albums to my existing IPod Nono playlist.
I have downloaded ITunes 7, have to press cancel when it askes me to sync, as I would delete what is already on my IPod Nano. I can load CDs into my ITunes library, but can not upload from my IPod Nano to the ITunes library on my computer.
How can I upload the music that is already on my IPod Nano to my computers ITunes Library, or in to My Music directory?
Best regards,
Jan

I believe it is due to copyright issues, but regardless, Apple does not make uploading from the ipod to your computer possible out of the box. There are freeware applications out there, like on Version Tracker, that will do this. The easiest solution to the question you posed is to simply import the desired CDs into your itunes library, then sync.
Secondly, this question is better suited to the ipod forum.
Hope this helps,
Jeff

Email attachments from SSRS email subscription are not being uploaded to an email enabled SharePoint 2013 document library

Email attachments from SSRS email subscription are not being uploaded to an email enabled SharePoint 2013 document library.
I have tested the library using a standard email (with attachment) to the library and this works fine.
I have monitored the drop folder on the server and I can see both emails being picked up in drop and processed by SharePoint. The email sent from a regular email account is uploaded with the attachment, whereas the email sent via SSRS subscription
email is uploaded and the attachment (report) is missing.

An update on this. The email when sending from SSRS subscription is received in the library and the attachment is contained within the .EML file uploaded.
The behaviour that I would like from SSRS subscription emails are to just have the document and not the email.
Below is a snippet of the .EML files I quick copied from the Drop folder.
Email attachment snippet sent from SSRS Subscrption:

Hi,
Base on the description, you want to upload email from outlook to a sharepoint document library programatically.
We need to do it using Web Services, there's a purpose built web service here http://cecildt.blogspot.com/2010/10/upload-documents-to-sharepoint-2010.html‎
for uploading documents.
The other alternative is using email enabled document libraries

Unable to modify any documents from sharepoint

We are using Office 2007 and WSS3.0 whenever I try to open a document from sharepoint I get the following error as shown in the image.
Link to access the image:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/148/officesharepointerror.jpg/
I can upload documents to sharepoint but cannot edit them.
I have repaired and reinstalled Office 2007 to no avail. I am not a Sharepoint admin so I cannot perform any administrative changes to the Sharepoint site. I have a contributor role to the Sharepoint site.
Can anyone help?

Hi,
Not exactly the same error we had here, but users were able to upload docs, but not edit. Re-ran the webfldrs.msi and it fixed the issue. If your error is affecting everyone, then this may not be your fix.
Unable to edit Documents in SharePoint
Error
User get s the following error message
“a problem occurred while connecting to the server” if the problem continues, contact your administrator
Solution
Well it worked today for Jo Mallett, when all the windows updates, profile rebuilds and office installs didn’t, and this fix took no more than about 1 minute to implement.
It is not uncommon for the web folders / WebDAV support in Windows XP to just stop working for no apparent reason.
You can usually reinstall the original Web Folders support by finding and executing
webfldrs.msi with specific options.
webfldrs.msi is probably in one of your system directories. It is easiest to search for it (remember to set advanced search options to include system and hidden folders). When you find the program (it’s a normal Microsoft install package) launch it, then
do these steps:
Click “Select Reinstall Mode”
Uncheck “Repair all detected reinstall problems”.
Check “Force all files to be reinstalled, regardless of checksum or version”.
Check “Verify that required user registry entries are present”.
Check “Verify that required machine registry entries are present”.
Check “Validate shortcuts”.
Press OK
Click REINSTALL
Normally no reboot is required.
Now the web folder client should have been restored as it was shipped.
If you previously installed Software Update for Web Folders (KB907306) from the Microsoft site, you may have to install it again.

Connect to SharePoint Online Document Library from Excel

We have a number of people in the field who fill out fairly complex evaluation forms in excel. These forms are submitted to a document library in SharePoint Online
What I need to be able to do is report off these submitted excel files reading and consolidating specific data (they are all of a consistent format). There may be any number of excel sheets in the source document library
Previously I would have done this using VBA but I cannot find a way of connecting to a sharepoint online document library from excel vba - I am open to other options

Hi Karthik,
Per my understanding, there is an XML file contains attributes. You want to upload it to a SharePoint library as well as extract the values of those attributes to
save to the corresponding columns of the SharePoint library.
As it is an Online environment, a workaround I would suggest is that you can create a client application(such as Windows Form Application) to extract values from the
XML file, then upload the file to SharePoint library, submit the values to the same library afterwards. All this can be achieved using SharePoint Client Object Model.

Trying to find answers for the question "Why is this file type blocked from being uploaded into SharePoint"

At least once a month - sometimes much more frequently - I get calls from users asking why the file extension they "need" to upload to SharePoint is blocked.
Most recently, it was a Microsoft Access database that the user was attempting to upload to a document library. Before that, it was a shortcut link (*.url). And so on.
Is there a reference document which goes over the reasons why specific file types are blocked?
Thanks!

Each blocked file format has it's own reasons for not being allowed to be stored on a SharePoint library.
Some of them are blocked because they would be processed by SharePoint Servers during the upload/download sequences, thus, possibly corrupting the system ( like dll files ). Others would cause Crawl to break ( url files ).
The Access database files are blocked for two valid reasons. First, because saving "live" to those files using Windows explorer window ( WebDAV ) doesn't work. Second because SharePoint product managers want us to use SharePoint lists instead.
And it does makes sense.
If you're in the middle of a migration from file servers to a SharePoint solution, your people could use these situations to stop and think about it for a little:
Really ? Now that we have SharePoint, couldn't we do things a little bit differently ?

The way SharePoint open office documents will differ if the user try to open them from the document library directly, or if users try to open the document from the search result page.

I have a document library where I have uploaded an excel sheet to it. Now If I click on the excel sheet directly from the document library page , I will get the following error ““The webpage cannot be displayed””. While if I do a search and I open the excel
sheet from the search result page , it will open the excel sheet using the excel services inside the browser !!.
So can anyone advice on this ?
Also if I have a PowerPoint document , and I try to open it from the document library I will get the following error “The webpage cannot be displayed” , and the URL will be prefix with the following “ms-powerpoint:ofv|u|”. while if i do a search and i open
the PowerPoint from the search result page i will be prompted to either open or save the document ? So why SharePoint is reacting totally different when trying to open document library items from the document library Or from the search result page?

Hi,
The behavior in the document library could be probably because of the Documents handling setting. Please try setting it to default behavior (Open in browser) as i hear from you that the default behavior is to open from browser.
Thanks, Suneetha
Currently I have set the following;-
1. On the library advance setting :- I define “Open in the client application”
2. On the web application setting:- I define stricked for Browser File Handling
And I have noted if I delete the browser cache and I access the document , then I will be prompted with the download dialog. but if I re-click on the same document I will be redirected to the
The webpage cannot be displayed
And the ms-powerpoint:ofv|u| will be added to the beginning of the URL. So could this be a caching problem ?

Word Viewer will not open documents from Sharepoint 2013 in IE11

I've run into an issue while trying to open documents from SharePoint 2013 after upgrading to IE11. My organization uses Word Viewer with the compatibility pack and all other Word documents (local files, intranet hosted) will open with no problems. When
trying to open a Word document from SharePoint the Word Viewer will open, but the file does not. We have verified that all Windows Updates are installed. We have tried opening SharePoint in Compatibility View and Enterprise Mode. We have re-downloaded the
latest version of Word Viewer and reinstalled it along with the compatibility pack. If we open the SharePoint site in Explorer view and then open a Word document it will open in Word Viewer with no problem. Excel and PowerPoint documents open from SharePoint
with no problem. This is only affecting Word documents with Word Viewer. When using the full version of Word the documents open fine. Within SharePoint we have tried activating the site collection feature "Open Document In Client Applications by Default"
but it made no difference. We're completely at a loss how to make this work as there doesn't seem to be much information specifically pertaining to issues with Word Viewer.

Hi Victoria.
1. The PCs do not have Microsoft Office installed, nor are we using the Office Web Apps. "Word Viewer" means the Microsoft Word Viewer application available here (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4) that is available
free for read-only viewing of Word documents.
2. There are no errors when I open Word docs in Word Viewer. The Word Viewer application launches after clicking a Word document link in Sharepoint, but there is no file open in it. When that happens the IE11 Sharepoint window on the taskbar is flashing
yellow, but when I click back to it there are no messages or alerts to click on.
3. This issue does occur with all Word documents (.doc, .docx) in SharePoint. However, it does not occur when opening Word documents in the Word Viewer when they are local files or through IE11 from a non-SharePoint website like our local intranet.
Those files will open with no problem in Word Viewer.
4. I will try to get a screenshot, but we are working on creating images for deployment and I don't currently have a machine configured the same way. I'll work on reconfiguring one and post a screenshot.
Thank you for your help!

Hiding a document library from specific users or groups.

Just FYI I am far from a SharePoint but have able to accomplish a lot from everyone's help on the forums, so thank you in advace.
Now, Is it possible to hide a document library from specific users or groups? Here is what I am trying to accomplish.
We have a Document library that we want the whole company to view, we will call this Company Share. We then want to have a separate library/app that
is only visible to the Finance department. Then another library that is only visible to the shipping dept.
So when Linda from finance logs into the SharePoint site under Site Contents she should only be able to see 2 items, Company share and Finance.
Tom from shipping will only see Company Share and Shipping. Administrators and Management will see Company share, finance and shipping.
I was able to hide the library using sharepoint designer by checking the box "Hide from Browser" which worked but now none of the users can view the library.
They are only able to access it via a direct URLl link.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi 3s1k,
What did you mean that "management does not want the actual folder library they are in to be visible"?
Please give more information about your requirement?

Wendy
