How to generate auto increment id for sharepoint list item using calculated column?.

Dear all,
List Id will be auto generated in the format “TP_W1_SCO_00001”.(00001 Numbers will keep changing for the documents).
FOR EX:-
first listem ID :TP_W1_SCO_00001
sECOND listem ID :TP_W1_SCO_00002
Please tell me how to do it by using calculated column.
Regards

In this solution you have to make two additional columns and one workflow.
step 1 :
create column ‘pID’ on the list of the type number.
Step 2:
Create on the list with SharePoint Designer a listworkflow
Set in the start option: ‘Start workflow automatically when an item is create’
In the workflow you set de column 'pID' with the value from 'ID' ( standard column)
Use for this the option: ‘Set field in current item’.
You need that because you can't use the column 'ID' in the formula in an calculated column
Step 3:
create column ‘IssueID’ on the list of the type calculated column.
Use the formula:
=""&"TP_W1_SCO_"&[pID]

Creating auto-increment field in SharePoint List

In SharePoint, we can create the auto-incremental field by many ways, I am going to discuss two ways of doing it.
Calculated field
Item Event Receiver
1. Using Calculated field:
Using this we can accomplish it without doing any programing and it is a relatively simple way of doing it. By using “Calculated” column in SharePoint List we can create auto-increment field. We can accomplish this by creating a new column and choosing the
column type as “Calculated (calculation based on other columns)”. And in Formula field, we have to enter [ID]
In fact this will be using the values from “ID” field from SharePoint list that starts from 1.
For example, if we want to start our auto-increment column from 100, we can modify the “Formula” field of Create New column screen, we can have to enter [ID] + 99
For detailed info please follow the blog I wrote here: http://faisalrafique.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/creating-auto-increment-field-in-sharepoint-list/
2. Using Item Event Receiver:
By using this strategy, users have advantage to edit the existing values, we can also avoid it by making field read-only on feature activation. Using item event receiver, on ItemAdded event, we have to find the highest value among previously added items
and then save the incremented value to current newly created auto-incremental column.
For code of event reciever please follow the blog I wrote here:

Happy Coding

Use Sharepoint Designer to create a Workflow for the list containing the field to increment. For my project I had an Invoice field that I wanted to start with 1001 and increment from there so I made the following workflow to do this.
In the new workflow screen in Sharepoint Designer create two actions in Step 1:
Calculate Current Item:ID plus 1000 (Output to Variable: calc)
then Set AutoIncrementNumber to Variable: calc
This is just a guide. If you just want the auto-increment to start with 1 then you can just use this step
Set AutoIncrementNumber to Current Item:ID
Also, make sure you select the correct name for your field in the Workflow action instead of AutoIncrementNumber.
Save the Workflow, close it, and then open it again in Sharepoint Designer. Check the box for "Start workflow automatically when an item is created." Save it again and then click on the Publish button to make it active on the sharepoint site. The value should
now increment for each new item created in the list.

How to fetch the Attched Filname of SharePoint List Item

Hi All,
Is there a way to fetch name of the file attached to the sharepoint list item ? Basically what we need is the file name which user has uploaded while submitting the new item, Later the same list item will get edited with another file attachment.
We want to compare both these file names and set a Image status value which will be a dropdown. When a new item is created Status will be 'Submitted' after editing the same list item its status should become 'Resubmitted' only if attached file name is dfferent.
We tried in SP designer 2010, but CurrentItem:Attachments is giving option either Yes or No. and from javascript we are able to retrieve filename attched but when stored it to another list column for comparison, the filename is stored as 1 which is a boolean
value
Please suggest us on how this can be done.
Thanks,
Raghu

Hi Raghu,
Did you the OOB Custom List? What't the error when you follow the steps from the above aritcle?
I have ever tested a
case to show attachment url in the Issue Tracking list, you can check if the following code could work for you.
<xsl:element name="SharePoint:AttachmentsField">
<xsl:attribute name="runat">server</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="FieldName">Attachments</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="Visible">true</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="ControlMode">Display</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="ItemId">
<xsl:value-of select="$thisNode/@ID"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
Thanks

How to generate auto incremented ID using a user who has create,view permissions only

Hi
i am using the builtin ID
field to achieve generate sequence no in a list
every time a new item created in list
for this i used update list item action in workflow, its working fine but
i have a problem here user who login into sharepoint site and create a new list item
has only Create ,View Permissions only,
i created a Requesters permissions level with (Create,view ) rights only i did not added Edit Rights
because this user only create list items only he will not edit the list item.
adil

Hello adil,
If user is having "Add Items" rights then item ID should be created automatically and this is auto generate column in list.
Why you are using "update list item action"? Are you updating any other field?
If updating any other column value then add Impersonation steps in your code to update item.

How to concatenate values from one form to another form using calculated columns in sharepoint?

Im new to Sharepoint.
I need to know , how to fetch the x1 , x2 values from one form to another form x1, x2 fields, this wants to happen when 2 forms ID fields(Drop down field) are same.
ex:
first module I have 3 fields like, "Marketing ID" , "Company name" , "Vendor name".
second module I have the same related fields like "Marketing ID" , "Company name" , "Vendor name" and some more fields.
now i need to fetch the information from 1st module to 2nd module ( "Company name" , "Vendor name" ) when I select the Marketing Id(Drop down - field)
it should be want to show in Calculated columns.
Can someone make a suggestion on how I can do this.
Thank you so much for any help you may be able to provide.
Sincerely
Ahalya Babu

Calculated Columns can only generate a value from fields of the current item. And only some types of fields (for example, it can't use a lookup column).
Consider using a workflow to accomplish your goal.

here in List A positionid is lookup column i have creating one visual web part i am querying the List A using query string as Positionid in that web part .finally what i want is i need date from list B on basis of corresponding position id here
List A Title and List B title are same i need each candidate info how can i do it
Srinivas

Hello,
Still you have not told that whether Position id is there in listB or not. Anyway if Poistion id is not there in list B then you have to use Title column of listA to gete data from ListB. Look at sample code below. It will first get data from ListA,
and use StringBuilder class to create dynamic CAML query because one Position id is having multiple values in listA.
query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Postionid' /><Value Type='Lookup'>1</Value></Eq></Where>";
SPListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(query);
if(items.Count > 0)
foreach(SPListItem item in items)
string strTitle = Convert.Tostring(item["Title"]);
//since listA is having multiple values for Postionid so you have to build a dynamic query here to get data from listB
//Refer link to build dynamic query
SPQuery listB = new SPQuery ();
query.Query = stringbuilder;
SPListItemCollection ListBitems = listB.GetItems(query);

Above links will help you to create dynamic query (in your case you need to use multiple <OR> operator in listB.

Thanks & Regards
Anubhav

HI
Usually for number generations in SAP there is a concept called number range generations using Tcode SNRO.
For your numbers genrations you need to create one object in SNRO(usually crreated by functional people) and then that object you need to pass it to NUMBER_GET_NEXT functional module in your program, it will create number for every call and then you can concatenate all the above three into one variable.
I hope this will solve your problem. you can get more documentation in forum ,if you can able to search forum with the above given function module.

How to generate an XML file for an animation of IK armature

Can someone please tell me how to generate an XML file for an animation of IK armature.
I have a 5 keyframe/16 frame animation of a human character made up of a series of moveiclip symbols that is animated with an IK armature. I need the XML information from the animation.
When I go to Commands > Export Motion XML I get the error message "There is more than one object on frame 1" and then nothing happens.
Thank you,
c

I hope that's not the case. I want to write to adobe about it. I think it's a great feature and it functions really well even though it is not a very developed IK tool. My biggest issue with it is ouput options and integration with motion tweens.
I have seen a lot of examples of animators using it online, just no one talked about output. I just feel it hasn't been developed. It can generate a sprite sheet but only for a single pose frame of the animation, and not all the key frames or pose tweens. I find that functionality quite odd, as if adobe just forgot about IK when added in sprite sheets, etc. and the reason it half works is just an accident.

How to set auto delete option for old messages

Hi All,
Can any one help me on how to set auto delete option for mails older than 15 days from my Z10.
James Kurian

There is no such option in BB 10.
However, you can achieve a similar result by setting your email sync timeframe to 14 days (the closest option).
If you are using an ActiveSync account (such as Hotmail, Outlook.com), go to Settings > Accounts > select the account. Tap advanced at the bottom of the screen. Scroll to the very bottom, tap Sync Timeframe and set to 14 days.
If you are using an IMAP account (such as Gmail or GMX), you will have to delete, then re-add your account. The Sync Time frame is only avaialble during setup for these accounts. When adding, tap advanced at the bottom of the screen and set the Sync Timeframe.
Hope this helps.
