"What's changed in SharePoint Designer 2013"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj728659.aspx
Here is some of the explanation:
Description of the change. Some features of the SharePoint 2010 Workflow platform that are dependent on Windows Workflow Foundation 3.0 are deprecated in SharePoint 2013.
Reason for the change.SharePoint 2013 introduces a new SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform that is built upon Windows Workflow Foundation 4.0 and that is integrated with Workflow Manager 1.0.
Migration path. In SharePoint Designer 2013, you can still create a SharePoint 2010 Workflow and use all of the SharePoint 2010 Workflow features by choosing the SharePoint 2010 Workflow platform.
You can also integrate features from the SharePoint 2010 Workflow platform into the new SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform. To do this, create a SharePoint 2010 Workflow by choosing the SharePoint 2010 Workflow platform; create a SharePoint 2013 Workflow by
choosing the SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform; and then use the Start a list workflow and Start a site workflow actions in the SharePoint 2013 Workflow to call the SharePoint 2010 Workflow.

How to create Recurring Tasks?

I need to set reminders from a Task list to specific people without human intervention. I want reminders for updates every week from the list. Is it possible to do it without using Calendar?
My Scenario is as follows: I want a Task to be created in a name of a person every Monday with a due date on Wednesday.
-Saumil

You can create a workflow, that will wait for one week, create new task and exit. After it, you can attach it to your tasks list to start on new items creation. So, when you will create your first instance of task, it will initiate the workflow and in one
week the workflow will create second instance. This creation will again trigger workflow, which will create third instance and so on, and so on.
This method is described in more details here:

Hi Darsh,
You can use
SharePoint chart webpart to display charts. Or you can use any jQuery charting library and feed data using JSOM or REST. Ex. high charts:

How to create a workflow in SharePoint 2013 that modifies the Modified By field?

Hello,
I like to create a workflow that updates the "modified by" field in a list. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Paul

the built-in audit fields (Created, Created By, Modified, Modified By) are managed internally by SharePoint. Workflows can edit metadata, but those changes will be made using the user who started the workflow, or by the author (if the workflow is set to
impersonate the author).
You cannot change the audit data.

How to reassign a workflow task in SharePoint 2013?

How can you reassign a workflow task in SharePoint 2013 (online)? I found some discussions online about how to do this, but I don't see this option using SP2013. Note the "Reassignment" checkbox from this screenshot (which I think is from 2010).

What is the difference between SSAS & Data Mart? Is SSAS required to create BI Dashboard in SharePoint 2013?

Hello All,
Greetings for the day.!
What is the main feature wise difference between SQL Server Analysis Service & Data Mart? Can we create BI Dashboard in SharePoint 2013 without creating SSAS & Measures?
Thanks,
msdn.microsoft.com

Hi jdoshi65,
This is a very long-to-answer question :)
A Data Mart is a subset of a Data Warehouse, specifically designed for a department for example, or to support certain reports. The Data Warehouse is where ALL the data available for analysis in your company is, is a super set from the Data Mart.
Then, we have SQL Server Analysis Services, which is a service which ships with SQL Server. It builds, ON TOP of the Data Warehouse or the Data Mart (or both) an OLAP solution in order to improve and enrich the reports, analytics and insights coming from
the data in the Data Warehouse / Data Mart.
That's the big picture, but:
- Is it necessary to have a Data Warehouse or a Data Mart to use SQL Server Analysis Services? NO
- Is it necessary to have SQL Server Analysis services to query and create reports from a Data Warehouse / Data Mart? NO
So, answering your question, there is no difference between SQL Service Analysis Services and a Data Mart because they are different things.
Then, yes, you can create a BI Dashboard in SharePoint 2013 without a SSAS cube behind. You can just use SQL Server Reporting Services or Performance Point Services to build dashboards in SharePoint 2013.

How to set Mandatory Choice field while Creating Custom Task using Sharepoint Designer 2007

Hi,
I am new to Sharepoint development.I dont know whether i am posting the question in Correct place.Kindly redirect me to the correct place if i am posting it in wrong place.
I created a custom task in Sharepoint Designer 2007 using
Collect Data from User
Action.
I created a field in the task form which is of choice type and
unchecked allow blank values
because i wanted that field to be a mandatory field.When i handled that task ,i was able to complete that task
without selecting that mandatory field.But, I was expecting not to allow me to complete the task without selecting that field. Kindly tell me how to set the choice field as mandatory.

Hi,
You are using SharePoint Designer 2007, so I moved the thread to the appropriate forum for MOSS 2007.
This is by design that
Workflow-generated form (for action Collect data from User) does not perform validation properly on drop-down choices, the workaround is to use JavaScript to perform the field validation.
This thread has the JavaScript code can help you:

Facing error while creating PerformancePoint Dashboard in SharePoint 2013?

Hi All,
I am not able to create Performance Point Dashboard site in SharePoint 2013, while creating facing this error:
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however,
be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application.
This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>

How to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance

Please modify your web.config file to show error details in SharePoint as below:
Set customErrors mode to Off
Set SafeMode CallStack to true
Set compilation debug to true

Error Creating a List in SharePoint 2013

I have a strange error I'm not able to solve. I've done several searches on this topic and found nothing even remotely like it.
Here's the situation, some of my SharePoint 2013 users (who have Full Control rights on their SharePoint sites) are getting the following error when they attempt to create a new list on their sites:
error_pagetitle
An error occurred while getting the items.
[AgrumentNull_Generic]
Agruments:
Debugging resource strings are unavailable. Often the key and arguments provide sufficient information to diagnose the problem. See Link Parameter name: s
When I follow the same steps, I get the list templates that I expect to get and can create lists. I tested this by allowing a user who was getting this error to login to SharePoint with their credentials on my computer. They got the error again. So it is
not a problem on the users computer.
Steps to reproduce this error:
1. On the affected site, click on the "All Site Content" link.
2. On the all site content page, click on the "Create" link.
3. Error message displays.
When I clicked on the link in the error message, I received the following error: "The definition of the resource ID could not be found."
I checked the ULS logs and found nothing helpful. Can anyone give me advice on how to resolve this error? Anything would help.
Thank you.

Having the same issue. If the end user had Full Control, what permission was missing and what list could he see if he could never create a list?

How to create and export a sharepoint list connection file to excel connection file library from power pivot?

Hi All,
I'm new to SharePoint and Power BI.
I've to use share point 2013 lists to create power view reports. For that, I need to create Power Pivot in Excel 2013.
I'm fine with the above. We normally take a data feed of a list and create connection to that. We need to create a connection file (.odc) and export it into a excel file connection library of Share point. The connection to be made to share point list. The
power pivot will be having multiple related lists.
How can I create a connection file which is referring to share point list
Please suggest.
Regards,
Julie

Hi All,
Finally, I could find the answer for this question after a long search.
First of all, open a new excel file in server.
Data-->From other connection-->From data connection wizard-->data feed-->Location of the data feed-->
http://sharepointsite/sitename/_vti_bin/ListData.svc
-->next-->select the lists which you need-->next-->only create connection-->properties--->export connection file
-->ok
The connection file has been created and .odc file exported to the specified location.
Open power pivot and check the connection in existing connections.
Exported file has to be uploaded in Excel file connection library of share point 2013. So that you can refer the same in this excel file when you upload it into share point.
Regards,
Julie
