Created column not showing in the Document Library View for a Custom Content Type based on Document

We have a custom content type based of Document Content Type. The OOTB "Created" column does not show up in the view as well as in the Site Settings -> Columns.
But it shows up in the Display Form and Edit Form of the Item at the bottom "Created at " by " " and "Modified by" at by ""
Would anyone know how to make this column appear as part of the view ?
thanks,
Harsh

Hi,
They should by default be possible to add to a view. The only reason they would disappear from the UI if someone has changed the attribute of the Field to hidden = true. You can verify that with PowerShell and if so you can use PowerShell to revert the setting
to false.

Custom Content type based on "Link to a Document" does not open new folder in a dialog

Hi,
We have created a custom Content Type based on "Link to a Document" (0x01010A) into a document library. When I use the New Document button on the ribbon, the "Link to a document" form appears on the same window, not as a dialog. If we
use the "link to a document" content type it works fine.
This issue occurs when creating the content type from the SharePoint UI as well as via XML (provisioning the content type).
Is it a SharePoint bug or are we missing something?
Thanks!
Sergio

Hi S3rgiones,
I can reproduce your issue, when create a custom content type based on “Link to a Document” content type, create item using the content type, it will open the NewLink.aspx page in the same window not the modal dialog.
In this situation, you can try to custom the content type and customize the form page for it, specify it in the content type customization, if this doesn’t work, you may need to custom the content type not inherit from the default link to
a document, but customize it yourself.
Thanks,

External content type based on OData is not crawlable

Hi all,
I followed instructions from this msdn article
How to: Create an external content type from an OData source in SharePoint 2013. I've created an external content type based on OData. I imported created bdcm file to BCS store in central administration. So the ECT is scoped to the farm. I could create
an External List and the data from OData service was displayed. But I couldn't get the ECT crawlable. When I try to add a new content source in Search Service Application and select Line of Business Data it isn't possible to select External Data Source. I
tried to add IDEnumerator method and RootFinder property to the ECT in order to get it crawlable without any luck.
External Content Types based on MS SQL are crawlable fine.

Hi,
In order to use the ECT for search you have to manually edit it as it's not complete for use with search. The two most important ones to add are:
ShowInSearchUI
RootFinder
I experienced the same issue when creating an OData BCS model for my session at the SPC2012 conference and I think those were the two properties I was missing (in addition to cleaning up some other stuff).
Take a look at
MSDN for more information on BDC model properties, and take a look at Search Connector Framework Troubleshooting for SP2010 which shows some samples.
Let me know if you need more help and I can provide a copy of my OData model (which is against an SP2010 site)

Filter SharePoint 2010 Ent. content types based AD Security Group

We are trying to use SharePoint as a records management system. I have several site collections (Team Site at the root of each site) and my plan is to setup one site collection as a content type hub. The content type hub would then distribute all of the
content types to my other site collections. Since I may have 70 different content types I want to filter what each user can see based on AD Security Groups (the SG matches the department the employee is in). This way they can only choose the content type that
applies to their department and it won't be so confusing. I'll then apply retention policies based on content type. I know that I can apply retention policies based on the document library but I want the users to be able to organize their records however they
want to.
Am I taking the wrong approach? Is this possible?

Hi,
As far as I know, we can define the Permission Set on a content type. In this way, you can control which users or group can change or access which content types.
For more information about SharePoint security and content type, see

Set content type based on file extension after uploading into document library

when there are multiple content types associated with a document library, say, report builder report, and excel documents, after you drag and drop a document into the document library, content type will not be detected based on the file extension. Suppose
your default content type is document, and you had added the report build report content type, and you uploaded a .RDL file, the content type for the file will be set to the default document content type.
I get a requirement to update the content type automatically based on the file extension, what follows is my code:
public class setCNTByFileExtItemAdded : SPItemEventReceiver
/// <summary>
/// An item was added.
/// </summary>
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
if (properties.Web.GetFile(properties.AfterUrl).Exists)
SPListItem CurrentListItem = properties.Web.GetFile(properties.AfterUrl).Item;
String FileName = CurrentListItem.Name;
if (FileName.EndsWith(".rdl",StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
CurrentListItem.Properties["ContentTypeId"] = "0x010100C3676CDFA2F24E1D949A8BF2B06F6B8B";
CurrentListItem.SystemUpdate(false);
base.ItemAdded(properties);
What follows are references that helped me:

user may have further requirement to detect whether the uploaded .xlsx file contains powerpivot data model, i tried the following code, the caveat is that .xlsx is actually a zip file, i just test whether the uploaded stream contains an entry xl/model/item.data.

Preset default value of DropDown based on Content Type selection in the SharePoint 2010 library

Hi,
I have three site content types (Admin, Technical & Well) derived from base content type "Base" and added this content types to "Documents" library. I also have one site column "Category"(Dropdown) with values (Admin, Technical
& Well) which is available in all the content types.
Now, when i try to create a document based on "Admin" content type then "Category" value should be preset to "Admin", similarly when i select "Technical" content type then "Category" should be preset to "Technical"
and same with "well".
Can some one provide me how i can achieve this?
I am working in the SharePoint 2010 environment.
Regards,
Chakradhar

My understanding is that , you have to display the category in all the content types.
So in that case create a content type like
Create a base content type -- with column category.
Create a Admin content type based on base content type as parent. By default ,the category column is available in admin content.
Create a Technical content type based on base content type as parent. By default ,the category column is available in Technical content type.
Create a Well content type based on base content type as parent. By default ,the category column is available in Well content type.
Do you want to create using sharepoint ui or code(visual studio)?

Hide the First Role in the TopLevel Navigation

Hi,
I am working in EP 7.0 SP14. As per my scenario, i need to be hide first role in the list of top level navigation. I have set the priority as high for this role and also one page will be assigned in this role. After login, I want to be hide the role only but page will be display in the content area. I couldnt get any clue for this.
Please help me.
Helpful answer are appericiated.
Regards
Prakash T

Hi Prakash,
        Modify Entry Point property of the page in your role to 'TRUE'. And ensure that All the parent levels ( like Worksets and Roles Has Entry Point as False). This way you will directly see your page and Role will not be displayed in Top level navigation.

Content type hide on New button but keep enabled on Upload

I have several content types in my document libraries. There is one content type that I want to hide on the New button, but keep enabled in the Upload drop-down for content type.
How can I do this?
thanks!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to hide content type on New button but keep enabled on Upload.
There are two properties in SharePoint that affect the visibility of content types. These are:
Visible on New Button (can be set through the UI – List’s Settings – screenshot)
The Hidden property of the SPContentType object (can be set only through the object model)
There are some blog blogs thread for your reference:

Hide the Grab activity

The BPM process map can be showed in runtime.
There is a (global) grab activity in a process. Can it be hided in the process map?
In BPM studio, it can be showed.
However, in the BPM (10g) workspace, this grab activity cannot be showed in the process map but it is still in the process and can work properly.
In BPM studio 10.3.1, I can hide the role. However, if I click save icon, the hided role appears again.

I don't think its possible to hide any activities from the process map. Within studio, you can only hide them from your view but even that functionality is buggy....

Cannot get rid of default field in a custom content type

hi guys,
I have custom content type based on Document Set in a List based on Document Library. I created both using XML declaration in SP solution.
I have all fields in my content type which I declared, except to defult fields: 'Name' and 'Description'. I need to hide both of them. After I set Inherits="FALSE" in ContentType section in Elements.xml in ContentType description the field
'Description' goes away. But the field 'Name' marked as required and stays.
I've also tried to add RemoveFieldRef parameter to the same Elements file, but the field persists. I assume it comes from list definition, not content type. But I cannot figure out how to get this field out from list definition.
Do I miss something?

I am assuming that content type's elements.xml file is looking like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">

<ContentType ID="0x0120D520008d2ff418027e4c31b54d155b98596748"

    </XmlDocuments>

In the FieldRef section ,we have <FieldRef

Try to add ShowInNewForm="TRUE" ShowInEditForm="FALSE" those attributes.
or    Hidden="FALSE"

I need help using multiple content types in a wiki page library

I currently trying to used multiple custom content types based off of the wiki page content type in one wiki page library.
EDIT: "Allow management of content types" has been enabled with the designer
The way i would like this library to work is:
Click the "Files" tab in the ribbon
Click the "New Document" drop down menu
Select one of the content types (Client, Contact, Project)
SharePoint Will Ask for the Page Name and content type fields
Click create
Then it will take you to the new created page.
This issue I'm currently having is when i click on one of the options (Client, Contact, Project) it will ask for a page name then you have to check it in to get to the edit form. The edit form it then loads is the default content type and not the selected
content type.
So my questions are.
Is there any way i can combine the page name and edit steps together into one step?
How can I get the edit form to pull from the selected content type?
Thanks in advanced
James T.F

Wiki library isn't really designed for customizations... it's a "special" library that overrides a lot of default behavior... similar evidence can be found if you're trying to add metadata columns to wiki pages... they're just not really designed to handle
it very well.

Search for documents using External Data on list content type

hi,
say we have clients in an external database, we create the external content type for use in sharepoint 2013
we create two content types, Quote and Order for use in a library
we create a document library that uses the above content types
we then add a column for the external data ( in this case Client Name- but also include ID) , we have the option to copy to content type selected. so now library shows 'Client' and 'Client:ID'
I believe that column gets added to list content types based on the 2 document content types.
so we have list items , which have a document , a content type and a piece of data from the external LOB system.
now that is fine, works great, however, how do you configure the content search web part to return documents based on the piece of external data - ie client:ID ? or Client Name ?
I can map the client:ID to one of the Int00 managed properties and crawl etc - but do not see a way to use that to return documents
any help would be appreciated :)
thanks
MrP

Create a scopr with that in managed properies and then u can get results from external sources
