  • How to Prevent duplicates on Combination of Lookup columns in sharepoint 2010 using infopath 2010 form.

    Hi All,
    I have list with some Lookup columns like  City, Pin, and Text Column Name. All these are required columns.
    Now I want to prevent duplicates while submitting InfoPath form if a Combination of  City,Pin & Name. (like a Composite primary in Database is used.)
    Can some one help me on how to achieve this using InfoPath  2010 Rules, writing  rule in Xpath.
    Thanks in Advance.

    1. Add a secondary data connection to the list where the form will be submitted.
    2. Prior to submit via rules, set the query fields in the above connection: City, Pin & Name with values entered in the form. Query the data source and check if the result has values.
    3. Show error messages accordingly if exists else continue with Submit.

  • How to have repeating columns for SharePoint list

    Hi
    I am working on SharePoint 2013 environment and trying to customize a SharePoint list using infopath form.
    Have a list called "Future Actions" and users need to submit their actions. An user can submit
    n number of Planned actions and every user will submit different number of actions.
    Columns:

    2. Month                                 Choice
    3. Planned Actions                   TEXT
    I want to capture user's actions in the same form, such that he would have option to expand the
    Planned actions column to add n number of Actions.
    Simply, For one Month, user should be able to define all actions in one form. and the number of planned actions will vary from user to user.

    In SharePoint 2013, we can also customize a special field type using client-side rendering.

  • How to block specific DL in SharePoint 2010 application.

    Hi All,
    We have SharePoint 2010 farm. I have a requirement to block specific Distribution List which should not recognized when user trying to give access at (user.aspx page)site level.
    How can i  restrict this in SharePoint 2010 farm.
    Regards

    You can use content editor webpart to run javascript. Java script will redirect users from accessing the site. You need t o specify the user Id; it wont work on DL
    Blow is the java script:
    ==================Script Start ===============
    ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getWebUserData, "sp.js");
    var context = null;
    var web = null;
    var currentUser = null;
        function getWebUserData() {
            context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
            web = context.get_web();
            currentUser = web.get_currentUser();
           currentUser.retrieve();
            context.load(web);
            context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onSuccessMethod), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onFailureMethod));
        function onSuccessMethod(sender, args) {
            var userObject = web.get_currentUser();
            if (userObject.get_loginName() == 'i:0#.w|domain\userid')
               window.location="/businesses/pulpandfibre";
        function onFailureMethod(sender, args) {
            alert('request failed ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());

  • Setting default value for lookup column in Sharepoint 2013 via powershell

    Hi,
    when I try to use the 2010 version of setting a default value to a lookup column ( colum.defaultvalue="1;#Open"), this is not longer supported in SharePoint 2013. The defaultvalue is always the alphabetically sorted first entry in the source
    list.
    How can I change this?
    Thanks for any help.
     Lutz

    Hi Lutz,
    You can set the default value of a look-up column. The code is very simple, just need to take care of the code below.
    $w = Get-SPWeb http://web
    $l = $w.Lists["MyDocumentLibrary"]
    $lf = $l.Fields["lookupColumn"]
    $i = $l.Items[0] #List item to update
    $lf.ParseAndSetValue($i,"1;#lookupvalue") #1;#lookupvalue refers to the ID of the lookup item and the value of the lookup item.
    $i.Update()
    As another example, if I wanted to update all the items in my document library that had the lookup value
    Pending, with the lookup value Complete;
    $w = Get-SPWeb http://myweb
    $l = $w.Lists["MyDocumentLibrary"]
    $lf = $l.Fields["lookupColumn"]
    foreach($i in $l.Items)
    if($i["lookupColumn"] -eq "1;#Pending")
    $lf.ParseAndSetValue($i,"2;#Complete")
    $i.Update()

    you need to create a  look up column on Name field in second list and a second look up column on the same field.
    then hide and show your fields in edit and display form based on your requirements .
    <Field
    ID="{886AF390-F68A-4B8A-9EC4-12108A11CC99}"
    Name="StudentName"
    DisplayName="StudentName"

  • How to Archive a list in sharepoint 2010

    Hi
    I think large list is the inevitable trend and will be a very common issue faced by everyone. We are a medium business using sharepoint 2010.
    For past 3 years, one of our SharePoint lists is over 20000 items.
    From my end:
    1.     I have indexed some important columns and created filtered views but it does not help much.
    2. I have increased the list threshold value to 25000( Even though the best practice is 5000).
    3. Also,  I have set the list template size to 500MB 
    4.     When I try to save the list as a template,  SharePoint throws an exception error.  
    5.   I tried working on the code
    mentioned in the link
    below but it looks complicated for me.
    http://spboom.com/sharepoint-development/moving-sharepoint-list-items-to-archive-list/
    What I need:
    I need to archive old items in the list.  After archiving,  I might need to refer to the archived items from time to time.
    As I'm newbie to SharePoint, it would be great, if someone can elaborate in detail with what can be done.
    Again your help in this is much appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    SweR

    What vesion of SharePoint are you using?  If you want to move items across from one list to another (as per your prefered option), something like: -
    Create a list template of you list with no content
    Recreate it on the same level as the main lis
    Create an SPD workflowthat'll copy an item to the new list and delete the original.  Make sure it doesn't have a triggering action
    Use an Expiration Information Rights Policy to triger the workflow. 
    Please note that this won't preserve the original author / create metadata as Alex has already said.

  • Users are unable to expand a list when a filter is applied in SharePoint 2010 site

    There are set of users facing issues while filtering the contents in the SP2010 site since the migration to SharePoint 2010. It is no longer possible to expand a list when a filter is applied.
    When open a fresh browser the filter does work, but if we perform an edit or save in the list, the filtering option disappears for the entire site.
    Then we need to forcefully close all the active browsers and start a new browser to see the list. Have checked with different browsers and different machines ended up with the same issue. Could you please suggest a workaround for the problem? Thank you.
