How to create a managed metadata column that allows terms from several term sets or groups ?

My requirement is to create a a Managed Metadata column that allows terms that come from several term sets (or possibly from one group containing several term sets).
Would it be possible ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I don't know if this is possible, however the design of your managed metadata term sets should be that you don't have a type of value coming from two different sets. For example, departments in your organization, offices of your company. Let me know if you
get a solution. It would be helpful to others.

How to create a managed metadata column in sharepoint document library programmatically

Hi,
I want to create a column of type "Managed metadata" in a document library.
I am new to managed metadata and its basics. So i need to know what it requires to create it. i got this
1. Create a term set Group.
2. Create term set.
3. Create a term.
I am using sharepoint foundation where "Term Store Management" service is not available.
I am writing this code for OFFICE 365. So can write a code with prediction, assuming i have basic info required to run my code?
var termStore = session.TermStores["Managed Metadata"];
var group = termStore.Groups.GetByName("KB Submission Policy");

Updating a managed metadata column from choice column value

I am trying loop through
all lists in a web, and for each list,
1. create a managed metadata column->Working
2.
Pull value from choice column->Working
3. Move
choice column value to managed metadata column->Not Working
Point number 3 is not working. Please advise
Here is the code:
static void Main(string[] args)
//Pulling the rootweb of the Site
const string SPLocationListColumn = "CHECK6";
SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sp2010:8080");
SPWeb rootweb = site.RootWeb;
//Setting up the taxonomy terstore, termset and term
Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.TaxonomySession taxonomySession = new Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.TaxonomySession(site);
TermStore termStore = taxonomySession.TermStores["Managed Metadata Service"];
Console.WriteLine(termStore.Name);
Group group = termStore.Groups["KM Metatags"];
Console.WriteLine(group.Name);
TermSet termSet = group.TermSets["Document Classification"];
Guid termsetid = termSet.Id;
Console.WriteLine(termSet.Name);
Term term = termSet.Terms["Document subclassification"];
TermCollection terms = termSet.Terms;
Console.WriteLine(term.Name);//Looping through all webs of the input website
SPWebCollection collWebsite = site.AllWebs;
for (int i = 0; i < collWebsite.Count; i++)
using (SPWeb oWebsite = collWebsite[i])
//Looping through all lists in web
SPListCollection collList = oWebsite.GetListsOfType(SPBaseType.DocumentLibrary); ;
for (int j = 0; j < collList.Count; j++)
SPList list = collList[j];//if the list name is Documents, create a new field of MMS type
if (list.Title == "Documents")
Console.WriteLine(list.Title);
TaxonomyField field = list.Fields.CreateNewField("TaxonomyFieldType", SPLocationListColumn) as TaxonomyField;
field.SspId = termSet.TermStore.Id;
Console.WriteLine(termSet.TermStore.Id);
field.TermSetId = termSet.Id;
Console.WriteLine(termSet.Id);
field.AnchorId = Guid.Empty;
try
{//Add the newly added MMS field to default view
Console.WriteLine("Entering");
Console.WriteLine("Entering");
list.Fields.Add(field);
Console.WriteLine("Entering");
Console.WriteLine("Entering1");
SPView view = list.DefaultView;
Console.WriteLine("Entering2");
list.Update();
SPViewFieldCollection collViewFields = view.ViewFields;
collViewFields.Add("CHECK6");
Console.WriteLine("Entering3");
view.Update();
Console.WriteLine("Entering4");
catch (Exception e1)
Console.WriteLine(e1.Message);
}//Capture a choice field by name subclass and move it to the newly added MMS field
for (int f = 1; f < list.ItemCount; f++)
if (list.Title == "Documents")
Console.WriteLine(list.Title);
SPListItem item = list.Items[f];
if (item.Fields.ContainsField("subclass"))
SPField field9 = item.Fields["subclass"];
String subclassvalue = field9.GetFieldValueAsText(item["subclass"]);
Console.WriteLine(subclassvalue);
TaxonomyField taxonomyField = item.Fields["CHECK6"] as TaxonomyField;
TaxonomyFieldValue taxonomyFieldValue = new TaxonomyFieldValue(taxonomyField);
taxonomyFieldValue.TermGuid = term.Id.ToString();
taxonomyFieldValue.Label = subclassvalue;
taxonomyField.Update();
item.Update();
list.Update();

From here:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/anavijai/programmatically-set-value-to-the-taxonomy-field-in-sharepoint-2010/
taxonomyFieldValue.TermGuid = term.Id.ToString();
taxonomyFieldValue.Label = term.Name;
SPListItem item = list.Items.Add();
# item["Title"] ="Sample";
item["TaxonomyField"] = taxonomyFieldValue;
item.Update();
list.Update();
it appears you're missing the point where you assign that taxonomyFieldValue to the item's taxonomy field in question.

Set Empty Managed Metadata Column - Working in 2010 and not in 2013

I have seen posts similar to mine below but am still not finding a solution. I understand that setting an already populated managed metadata column can be problematic using SPD. However, my column is empty, and what works in 2010 is not working in 2013.
Issue: In SharePoint 2010 On-premises, I am able to set an empty Managed Metadata column on a file in a document library via SPD workflow using the following format:
ID;#Term|IdForTerm
In SharePoint 2013 Online, I am attempting to create a SPD workflow to do the exact same thing (ID;#Term|IdForTerm) and am experiencing the following results depending upon the type of workflow I try:
- SP 2010 Workflow - The workflow status result is Completed, but the managed metadata column remains empty.
- SP 2013 Workflow - The workflow internal status becomes Started and effectively remains this way until I end the workflow.
Any thoughts on what needs to change for 2013 when doing this?
Thanks in advance for any help or guidance.
Alan

Hi,
I try to reproduce the issue in my SharePoint Online environment, however, everything works well.
I create term set as below:
Then start the workflow and the value in the browser view. The result is as below:
I recommend to create another managed metadata column to check whether it works.
Or you can create another library to check whether it works.

Issue when filtering with Managed Metadata Columns in Share Point Document Library

Hi All
I have a document library, and a four Metadata Columns in it, with each column having a number of term in it. I have no issues in adding a document or in term sets. We have set property of Managed Metadata Column as Allow Multiple Values. So some of the items
in library contains values with only one term set. While other documents contains values with multiple values.
We have a number of country sites having the document library with same metadata columns. In document library default view i am showing Metadata column, User want to filter the documents (view) based on Metadata column selected.
The filtering is giving inconsistent behavior. In production server it is giving in error with some correlation ID. On our development machine some times it is working fine and some other times it is given error of Validation of Viewstate MAC failed. i tried
on different countries sites.
I checked we have already kept the Metadata Navigation and Filtering under site action feature as activated. It was even more weird when i deactivated the feature on one country site and the filtering was working fine. And on other country site where i
kept the feature as activated and the filtering was giving an error.
Thanks & Regards
Amit

Hi Amit,
Have you checked the ULS error message for more information with correlation ID?
Please try using the library metadata navigation to filter these managed metadata columns value via configuring library "Metadata navigation settings" after you enabled the "Metadata Navigation and Filtering" feature,
then check if the issue would still persist.
Please see more information from below article with similar issue.

How to create a variance on data that exists iIn only one database column

How to create a variance on data that exists iIn only one database column?
I'm trying to create a calculation to show the difference between the budgets for two different years in a Discoverer crosstab query.
I'm using the lag function to repeat the value of a column for the current year and the year before.

Lag and lead seems to be the only choice and they work excellent. Checkout the new 10g Database features. There is new SQL modal clause which might give additional and powerful analytics but in this case lag and lead should be sufficient.

Managed metadata columns in document information panel with multiple content types

Hi everyone,
The problem I have is that for custom content types not all managed metadata columns are displayed in Document Information Panel (DIP) for the document in the Office client application.
However, everything works fine with 1 specific content type. Even though the others using exactly the same site columns. The content types are deployed using visual studio to the content type hub, and after this the content types are correctly published to
the site collections, there are no publish issues here.
When I create a document based on the second content type in the same library, all fields are showed in the document information panel, except the managed metadata columns.
Detailed explanation:
Library: procedures
Content types:
- simple procedure (with 4 managed metadata fields and some other text fields)
- procedure with approval (with the same 4 managed metadata fields and some other text fields)
Scenario 1: I add the 'simple procedure' content type to the procedures library as only content type. Everything works fine, and all fields show correctly in the document information panel in Word.
Scenario 2: I add the 'procedure with approval' content type to the procedures library as only content type. Everything works fine, and all fields show correctly in the document information panel in Word.
Scenario 3: I add the 'simple procedure' and 'procedure with approval' content types to the document library procedures (added simple procedure first). When I create a new document based on the 'simple procedure'
content type, everything works fine and he shows all metadata fields. When I add a new document based on the 'procedure with approval' content type, the document information panel shows correctly, except all managed metadata fields. These are not visible at
all. Though they worked perfectly in scenario 1 and 2.
Is this a known issue or is there a workaround for this?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards, Davy

Yes!
This problem is solved right now.
My issue was that I'm using custom content types deployed by Visual Studio in the content type hub. To create a managed metadata site column in visual studio, you need to have first of all your managed metadata field, but also a hidden field accompagnied
to make the actual mapping like the example below:
<Field ID="{B654D984-187A-471B-8738-F08F3356CFDA}"
Type="TaxonomyFieldType"
DisplayName="Countries"
ShowField="Term1033"
EnforceUniqueValues="FALSE"
Group="Demo"
StaticName="Countries"
Name="Countries">
<Customization>
<ArrayOfProperty>
<Property>
<Name>TextField</Name>;
<Value xmlns:q6="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" p4:type="q6:string" xmlns:p4="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">{67308AC2-9556-456B-BF9E-43E8F23EBEE6}</Value>
</Property>
</ArrayOfProperty>
</Customization>
</Field>
<Field Type="Note"
DisplayName="Countries_0"
StaticName="CountriesTaxHTField0"
Name="CountriesTaxHTField0"
ID="{67308AC2-9556-456B-BF9E-43E8F23EBEE6}"
ShowInViewForms="FALSE"
Required="FALSE"
Hidden="TRUE"
CanToggleHidden="TRUE"
Group="Demo"
RowOrdinal="0"
/>
</Elements>
VERY important here is that when you create your content type using visual studio, you not only have to add the managed metadata site column in your xml (which let the content type work already perfectly) but also add the hidden field to your content type
xml !! This way, SharePoint knows that when you have multiple content types with the same site columns in the same library, the second content type also need to get the hidden field from this site columns like in the example below!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
;
<ContentType ID="0x010100571ebc0f478a49d5a775039347ee1535"
Name="Document Location"
Group="Demo"
Description="A content type containing Managed Metadata Column."
Inherits="TRUE"
Version="0">
<FieldRefs>
<FieldRef ID="{B654D984-187A-471B-8738-F08F3356CFDA}" Name="Countries"/>
<FieldRef ID="{67308AC2-9556-456B-BF9E-43E8F23EBEE6}" Name="CountriesTaxHTField0"/>
<FieldRef ID="{f3b0adf9-c1a2-4b02-920d-943fba4b3611}" Name="TaxCatchAll"/>
<FieldRef ID="{8f6b6dd8-9357-4019-8172-966fcd502ed2}" Name="TaxCatchAllLabel"/>
</FieldRefs>
</ContentType>
</Elements>
I'm very happy I found this solution, because in the whole project i'm implementing, this was used a lot!
Special thanks to the blog of @cann0nf0dder (http://cann0nf0dder.wordpress.com/2013/04/01/creating-a-site-column-with-managed-metadata) which let me think about this!
This ticket is answered now! :-)
Kind regards,
Davy

No values for refiners for managed properties based managed metadata columns in SharePoint 2013 on premise

On a SharePoint Server 2013 setup (on premise) we want to use a number of managed metadata columns in the search as refiner. The managed metadata column is called "Document Language" and so it automatically creates a managed property called owstaxidDocumentx002Language
which I can use to do a keyword query by typing owstaxiDocumentx0020Language:"NL" in the search box and it returns results. I also marked this managed property as refineable (in the service search application) and it appears in the
seach refiners selection box but it states that there are no values for this refiner.
So I decided to create a new managed search property "DocumentLanguage" and maps this to "ows_Document_x0020_Language" - I marked it as queryable, searchable, refineable, retrievable and sortable but this managed search property
is not being filled up.
I already executed a number of full crawls but this does not seem to work. Anyone know what to do next?
Rgds,
Joris [http://jopx.blogspot.com]

It happened with me many times that the automatically generated managed property is not properly mapped to the crawled property and to get the correct crawled property get the document item
$web=Get-SPWeb http://webUrl
$list=$web.Lists["documentLibrary"]
$list.Items[0].Xml>>item.xml
View the item.xml and check if the ows_Document_x0020_Language contains data
Hope that helps|Amr Fouad|MCTS,MCPD sharePoint 2010

How to create a view indicating column's length?

SQL>create table abc (a number(12));
I want to create a view cde with a length of number(5) by "describe cde" in sql*plus.
SQL>create view cde(a) as select a from abc;
SQL>desc cde
A NUMBER(12)
how to create a view indicating column's length? the actual value in abc only <1000
I want to create a view cde with a length of number(5) .
SQL>desc cde
A NUMBER(12)
Thank You
Ming-An Zhang

This does not make sense. How can a view be a NUMBER(5) and the actual column a NUMBER(12)?
What happens if there is a 10 or 12 digit number in the table? Just what is the view suppose to do? Crash and burn? Where is the logic in that?!
If the table's column has an incorrect precision and size, THEN FIX IT!! Do not hack it with view!
It is silly purposefully building constructs into the database that can easily result in run-time errors.

How to create a fixed-width column within an APEX 4 interactive report?

This thread is a follow-up to {message:id=9191195}. Thanks fac586.
Partial success: The following code provided by fac586 limits the column width of the Apex 4 interactive report column as long as the column data contains whitespace within a Firefox 3.6 browser:
<pre class="jive-pre">
<style type="text/css">
th#T_DESCRIPTION {
width: 300px;
td[headers="T_DESCRIPTION"] {
width: 300px;
word-wrap: break-word;
</style>
</pre>
Notes:
1. The code above is put into the HTML header section for the page.
2. T_DESCRIPTION is defined as VARCHAR2(2000).
3. The code above works within the Firefox 3.6.12 browser but does not work within the Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 browser.
I tried adding "float: left;":
<pre class="jive-pre">
<style type="text/css">
th#T_DESCRIPTION {
width: 300px;
td[headers="T_DESCRIPTION"] {
width: 300px;
word-wrap: break-word;
<font color="red"> float: left;</font>
</style>
</pre>
Notes:
1. "float: left;" does not require whitespace and successfully splits the column between characters in lieu of whitespace.
2. "float: left;" shrinks the cell height and allows the page background to show through... couldn't determine how to fix this.
3. The code above works within the Firefox 3.6.12 browser but does not work within the Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 browser.
I've done some more research, but I still haven't discovered how to create a fixed-width column within an APEX 4 interactive report that displays properly within an Internet Explorer 7 browser.
Any ideas and help will be appreciated.

Thanks for your help with this!
<pre class="jive-pre">
what theme are you using?
</pre>
A customized version of theme 15.
<pre class="jive-pre">
Floating a table cell makes no sense (to me anyway).
</pre>
You are correct. I was just trying a different approach ... trying to think out of the box.
<pre class="jive-pre">
Think you'll need to create an example on apex.oracle.com with sample data
if there are any further problems.
</pre>
Great suggestion! The code your provided works in the Firefox 3.6.12 browser, but still doesn't work within my Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 browser.
UPDATE:
I have recreated the problem at apex.oracle.com, you can use the following information to check it out:
URL: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=43543:100::::::
Workspace: IR_FIXED_WIDTH_COLS
Username: GUEST
Password: Thx4help
Application: 43543 - CM_RANDY_SD
Note: Table name is TEST_DATA
The following code provided by fac586 works in both Firefox 3.6 and IE7 using default theme "21. Scarlet" at apex.oracle.com; however, it doesn't work when I use a copy of our customized theme "101. Light Blue":
<pre class="jive-pre">
<style type="text/css">
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA {
th#T_DESCRIPTION {
width: 300px;
max-width: 300px;
td[headers="T_DESCRIPTION"] {
max-width: 300px;
word-wrap: break-word;
</style>

</pre>
Any idea what in the theme could be causing the fixed width column to be ignored in IE 7?

Caml query using managed metadata column

hi,
I am having a console appln, where i want to pass the one paramater in the form of siteCol1:subsite1:subsite2 where siteCol1:subsite1:subsite2 is the path of subsite which is in MMS.
Can i pass this string paramter to the splist which contains a taxonomy column   and match this paramter in the listitemcollection and fetch only those recordw which matches this crirteria.
and it should fetch the values which matches in a splist. the caml query it expects contains the taxonomy -managed metadata column - , but i am stuck with
SPList splistLIST = parenttWeb.Lists.TryGetList("LIST1");
                      if ((splistLIST.Items.Count > 0 && splistLIST!= null))
                          SPQuery   objnodeQuery = new SPQuery();
                          objnodeQuery.Query =
                              string.Format(
       "<OrderBy>" +
          "<FieldRef Name='ID' />" +
       "</OrderBy>" +
       "<Where>" +
          "<Eq>" +
             "<FieldRef Name='myTaxonomy' />" +
             "<Value Type='Text'>{0}</Value>" +
          "</Eq>" +
       "</Where>", _mcurrentPathTermSet);
                          SPListItemCollection nodeItemCollection = splistLIST1.GetItems(objnodeQuery);
am not able to retrieve the listitems which passes this as a parameter and retrieve those records where it matches this taxonomy column.
my doubt is, how to pass a string parameter to the splist contains taxonomy column and fetch those records

Hi,
Managed metada column does not supported in lookup column as the thread below:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/0dee5ba4-9648-445f-a774-8c59cf01b81c/confirmation-needed-cant-lookup-managed-metadata-field-with-lookup-column?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
If you prefer managed metadata in Search, then I'd suggest you find workaround to use managed metadata column in lookup column. You could use a workflow to copy the managed metadata column to a text field, make the text field to be hidded from the list if
necessary. Then lookup this text field in other list.

Refiners for managed metadata column

Hi,
I have followed the procedure outlined here to set the search schema for metadata column that I want to show as the refiners:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sharepoint_made_easy/archive/2013/03/19/step-by-step-configuration-to-add-custom-refiners-in-the-refinement-panel-of-search-results-page-for-sharepoint-online.aspx
My managed property is showing in the available "refiners", however, there are no values returned from it. Please note that I am mapping "RefinableString00" to a managed metadata column crawled property. What am I doing wrong?

Resolved it. i just have to initiate a crawl.

How to create OLAP Catalog Metadata from Analytic Workspace

Hi,
How to create OLAP Catalog Metadata objects automatically from Analytic Workspace, not using CWM2_OLAP_AW_OBJECT package.
Is there tool for it?

Analytic Workspace Manager is the supported tool from Oracle for creating OLAP catalog metadata (plus the SQL views required for BI Beans). Hopefully this should be out in June as an additional download following the 9.2.0.3x patch.
However you might want to look at IAF Software's "Coaster" product (http://www.iafsoft.com/products/coaster.htm) which also contains functionality to create the OLAP Catalog. We've had a play around with it and have been impressed.
