How to generate custom guid in sharepoint designer?

can generate guid in javascript using following code
function generateUUID() {
var d = new Date().getTime();
var uuid = 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[xy]/g, function (c) {
var r = (d + Math.random() * 16) % 16 | 0;
d = Math.floor(d / 16);
return (c == 'x' ? r : (r & 0x7 | 0x8)).toString(16);
return uuid;
Is there any way to do the same thing in sharepoint designer 2013 ?

Hi,
I am afraid there is no OOTB feature to do the same thing in SharePoint designer 2013. But as far as I know, SharePoint can auto-generate guid for list,item and so on.
For another way, you can generate new GUID using PowerShell:

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:

Customize Approval Form to add custom fields using SharePoint Designer

Hi,
i have a created a Custom approval workflow using SharePoint Designer 2010. This is two steps approval WF, All i did put the variable "CancelonRejection" Value "Yes" and one Approval action with 2 different users as Serial. Right now
Status, Requested by, Consolidated comments and comment fields are available on the approval form. Now i want to add some fields with radio buttons on Approval Form, so that 1st approver can select those radio/check box. Once 1st approver will approved this
then display all the values on 2nd approver approval from or send email to 2nd approver along with all the information from 1st approver.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to customize Approval Form to add custom fields using SharePoint Designer.
In the SharePoint Designer, you can customize the task form.
Here is a great article for your reference:
Creating Custom Workflow Task Approval Forms with SharePoint Designer 2010
However, every task can only have one task form.
That is to say, the two approvors will have the same task form.
As a workaround, I recommend to customzie the task form using InfoPath.
You can create different view for the approvors.
You need to add form load rules to swich views based on the approvors.

Add two attachment field in custom list through sharepoint designer 2013

Hi all,
I want to add two attachment columns to the SharePoint 2013 custom list through SharePoint Designer 2013 (not using ribbon attachment option) only . I managed to attach single attachment column to the attachment field. But I am not able to create second
field for attachment.
for example, one column for attaching address proof and second column for identity proof.
Any help would be appreciated.

Out of the box this simply isn't going to be possible the way you seem to want it. The attachment field does allow for multiple attachment, but I can see why you'd potentially want these separated out.
Alternative:
You could instead create a link field for each. Users load the documents into a document library and then copy the URL to paste into the form. If you potentially need multiple attachments for each, you can use an InfoPath form and a repeating table.

SharePoint allows you to create custom web parts to help you provide highly customized solutions to your clients/users. The properties of these web parts are added by default but to
further customize the solution, you can also create custom properties. The following example demonstrates how to add a custom dropdown property to a custom webpart.
// Create a Enum for Languages
public enum LanguageByEnum
       English = 0,
       French,

How to enable "All Files" in SharePoint Designer 2010

Hi everyone,
How can I enable "All Files" in my sharepoint designer.In home laptop I see it,but in production environment where I work,opening SharePoint Designer I can not see "All Files" button.I am with admin account and everithing is ticked in the central administration
Designer options.
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
I noticed that you said you can see the ‘All files’ folder in home laptop ,but it is missing when open in the production environment .Did this happen to
all the sites or the site in the specific web application ?Have you extend the web application into an Internet zone?
Actually you should change the SharePoint designer settings in both Central Administration and Site collection settings .Perform an IIS reset after change
the settings and reopen the site in SharePoint designer.
For more information about SharePoint designer settings ,please refer to this site :

How to implement schedule workflow using SharePoint Designer?

Hi All,
Please let me know , How to implement the schedule workflow using Share Point Designer.
Thank You.
Regards,
~Sri

+1 to this. The closest that you'll get with list / level features is using Information Rights. You can trigger workflows based on time/date columns, which may serve your needs.
Failing that, you will indeed need a custom timer job.

How to activate Custom Feature in SharePoint 2010 using Client Object model

I am trying to Activate a custom feature using Client Object Model in SharePoint 2010. Here is the code I used. When I execute the code, I got the error "Feature with Id 'xx' is not installed in this farm, and cannot be added to this scope while
creating site collection". Can anyone help?
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(spURL);
//GUID of the custom feature
Guid districtFeatureId = new Guid("5b3529de-5045-46da-af87-8d2e32c121a7");
Site clientSite = clientContext.Site;
FeatureCollection clientSiteFeatures = clientSite.Features;
clientContext.Load(clientSiteFeatures);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
//Activate the feature
clientSiteFeatures.Add(districtFeatureId, false, FeatureDefinitionScope.Site);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

Hi shil chan,
When you activate a feature on the site collection, the feature should be scoped to site or farm, the error message shows it cannot find the specific feature, this will happen when you have a feature in web
scope or the feature isn’t installed.
So, to troubleshooting this issue:
Verify whether the feature is scoped to web. Please go to
Site Setting->Site Features . If the feature is a web scope feature, then add the feature to webfeatures.
Make sure the feature is installed correctly.
Please inform me freely if you have any questions.
Thanks

How to generate customer invoices automatically?

We are doing direct debit for some of our clients based on the billing plan.
I know that it is possible to create customer invoices automatically based on the billing plan, but do not know the details how to trigger the process.
Imagine I have created the billing plan for the billing WBS-element. What should be done next to post the customer invoice automatically?
Many thanks for your help!

Hi Mrinal,
I do not know much about SD process, in fact I am mostly interested in FI invoices to be generated and posted while having the most dummy SD flow possible.
What exactly does VF04, what are prerequisites to run it, and what are the follow up steps? My starting point is the billing plan maintained for the WBS-element, while the target is FI customer invoices posted, so what are the missing steps in between?
Many thanks.

How to generate multi-lingual applications with Designer?

In Designer 10g we have the definitions of hundreds of tables and views and
forms/reports modules. Currently all texts (prompts, hints, comments, help texts, etc) are in Dutch. Because of new customers in Germany, we now have to translate everything into German (and in the future also to French and English etc).
We know that we can use Translation Hub to translate forms and reports,
however, many tables/columns are used by more modules (sometimes 10 or more). So, the translation of each module with the Hub is very inefficient.
We are wondering if there are easier ways. For example, when we translate a
prompt of a tablecolumn, Designer (Headstart) can update all related module items. So, with one translation, we in fact translate many modules at once.
We could perhaps make a copy of the application, but that will work very
inefficiently because each modification has to be done on multiple
applications.
Has anyone a genius solution for this?
Thanks for your help, Jan Willem

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but there isn't a genius solution out there for you. And it isn't a Designer problem, it's an application architecture problem.
You'll notice that Headstart (since you've looked at that) does two things for you. One is that it has utilities to go update many items for you. Two is that it uses standard error and LOV tables which are multi-lingual based. You enter your messages and lookups in many languages (many rows per code, one per language) and the Headstart library logic displays the right row based on the code and the NLS setting. architecture.
In your case, where you have hard-coded everything, if you don't want to re-architect things, then your only solution is to clone things. Probably best off (based on other client experience) to just keep the single model in your base language, develop and gen as you have been, and then work your way through all the source code (database and application components) to do all the translation (as noted the Translation Hub can help some), and then implement each result. At least that way you know all the functional logic works. So you're not introducing any bugs (except for when the translated info is longer then the base info -- as we have here in Canada where French takes up more space then English). sorry. ugly.
