How to update selected list items in SharePoint 2010?

Hello All
I have a list containing field named "Category". I want to develope a solution which will take two inputs: Old Category and New Category. The expected result is: all the list items will be fetched which have Old Category input value in
their category field and the field is replaced with the input value New Category.
I have a limitation that I can not use Visual Studio. So I am thinking to create aspx page with content editor webpart. But I am new to all these things. Could you please suggest the development approach for this?
Thanks.

Hello,
I don't think CEWP can help you because you won't be able to find old and new category when there is any change in list. However you can identify the latest modified item from list but how will you identify whether category is old or new. If you have any
other column in list which can tell you that category value has been updated then you can write ECMA or Jquery script to update other items.
If have any column in list then see below jquery code, where you will see how to query the list: (In my case it is Active)
var soapEnv = "<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><soapenv:Body><GetListItems xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/'>";
soapEnv += "<listName>Highlights</listName>";
soapEnv += "<query><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Active' /><Value Type='Text'>Yes</Value></Eq></Where><OrderBy Override='TRUE'><FieldRef Name='Modified' Ascending='FALSE' /></OrderBy></Query></query>";
soapEnv += "<viewFields><ViewFields><FieldRef Name='Title'/><FieldRef Name='ows_FileLeafRef'/><FieldRef Name='Links'/></ViewFields></viewFields><rowLimit></rowLimit>";
soapEnv += "</GetListItems></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>";
Please comment if i misunderstood you?

How to update a list item through Sharepoint Designer Workflow?

Hi,
I have a created a list, in which "Completion date" column is there.
Now I want to update column "Completion Date" through SPD, specifies value(date) after 10 days of created date of a record in list.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You can use the "Build Dynamic String" action to convert the date field to a string,
And use string comparison to determine if the date is blank

Workflow - how to update multiple list items

Is it possible to update up to 3 list items with the same information using a workflow? My scenario is where a company vehicle (registration number) has up to three drivers assigned to it - Driver Name 1, Driver Name 2 and Driver Name 3. I
have two separate lists - one for vehicles (fleet list) and one for drivers (driver database). In my workflow when an item is created or changed in the fleet list, I would like the current vehicle registration to be updated in all three driver records
in the driver database. I am not sure if I can do this as I am unsure of what my unique look up would be as I need to be able to tie a vehicle registration to a driver name. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Create List Item using SharePoint 2010 Workflow

Hello everyone.
I found in youtube video using SP Employee Onboarding Web Part, idea is quite simple and powerful. But this web part available only in SP 2013, and I use 2010. So I wanted to develop my own version.
Questions is:
I have 2 lists Employee OnBoards (list contains data about new employee) and Employee OnBoards Tasks (list contains approval task). Where field Employee Name from Employee OnBoards list is lookup field in Employee OnBoards Tasks list.
I need emplement next:
When new Item created in Employee OnBoards list, it should copy Employee Name value to the Name field of the Employee OnBoards Tasks list.
I hope I explained understandable.
Thanks.

Hi Azamat,
This you can do by using SharePoint Designer workflow.
Create a sharepoint designer workflow and invoke that when new item will create in the list Employee
OnBoards.
then use Copy List item action to copy employee name to employee on board task list.
Below link will help you how to use copy list item action in a workflow.

How To? Select List item return 2 values (high and a low)

Can anyone suggest how to make a select list drop box return 2 values for my query.
eg:
Pick from
Last Week
Last Month
Last Year
return high/lo values of
5-feb-06 12-feb-06
01-jan-06 31-jan-06
01-jan-05 31-dec-06
Such that my query can refer to it as
select *
from tabx
where dte > :parm_lo
and dte < :parm_hi
You get the idea ..

I haven't tested this at all, so it may not work, but the first thing that springs to mind is not returning the two dates, base it on the current date, i.e. have your select list return something like -
Last Week - Return 'W'
Last Month - Return 'M'
Last Year - Return 'Y'
then use a query something like -
SELECT *
FROM tabx
WHERE dte >
          CASE v ('ITEM')
             WHEN 'W'
                THEN TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'd')
             WHEN 'M'
                THEN TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'Mon')
             WHEN 'Y'
                THEN TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'yyyy')
             ELSE dte - 1
          ENDLike I said, completely untested and may not work...you may also have to play around with the boundary values (NLS settings too perhaps).

How to highlight selected list item in sap ui5?

I have a list..in which custom list items have been used.
On click of any custom list item it should get highlighted,
I am able to click on each custom item...and have added an browser event
on its click..which changes its color ..
function to change its color goes like this:
hbox.attachBrowserEvent("click", function(event) {
var idOfHbox= this.getId();
$('#'+idOfHbox).css"backgroundcolor","#e6f2f9");
ALso for each custom list item I have used a button and a checkbox in a HBox..
So am changing the hbox color (on click event).
The problem here is...
When i select one item, and then select another item..both of them are highlighted..
I want only the current selected item to be highlighted.
Please guide..

Have you tried using the SelectionChange event on the list, rather than the browser onClick event?
I believe the SelectionChange event is fired for each selected and deselected item in the list.

How to delete a list item in Sharepoint 2007 via SOAP?

I am looking to delete a list item using soap web services. I am using the Lists.asmx web service.
The XML looks like this:
<Batch OnError="Continue" ListVersion="1">
<Method ID="1" Cmd="Delete">
<Field Name="ID">7</Field>
</Method>
</Batch>
I got this from the msdn docs at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/lists.lists.updatelistitems%28v=office.12%29.aspx
And I am using the Lists.UpdateListItems Method.
I am doing this in python and python has a library, suds for this purpose. However I get this exception:
suds.WebFault: Server raised fault: 'Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.'
I have looked for typos, and verified the XML format. Where am I going wrong?
Some help please.

Termstore changes are not getting reflected in the list items in SharePoint 2010 farm environment

Hi,
I had created managed metadata with termstores from central admin. Then I had created one list in which added a column of type managed metadata using the managed metadata which I had created. And also added few list items to this list.
The problem is that after updating a termstore the changes are not reflecting in the list items which were added before the update.
I have referred the following links:
http://www.paulgrimley.com/2011/02/managed-metadata-changes-not-applied-to.html
http://davidfrette.wordpress.com/2010/05/26/taxonomy-update-scheduler%C2%A0timer%C2%A0job/
According to the links we need to run Taxonomy Update Scheduler on the server for updated termstore to get reflected. After running
this scheduler on development environment changes are getting reflected but not working on the production environment.
Kindly help!
Regards, Shruti

You should check the obvious. You made the change in dev, but did you make the change in production too? And, is the term you updated, actually the one that you are looking at in the list item?
There is not much, if anything, that can go wrong with that timer job. so I'd guess that the term you are looking at is not the one you think you are updating.
If you have double checked everything (the term is is in fact the same term id), then you may have something erroring in the update process. In this case, you should check the ULS logs for any errors.

Hi,
I have a sharepoint workflow, where I am creating a workflow and the workflow steps involves assigning a task. How do I Update a list item after the task is completed? So after the task assignment step, how do I check that the task is completed so I can
update a list item?
Please help.

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to update a list item after a task is completed in SharePoint Designer workflow.
By default, the workflow will stuck at a “Assign a task” action. When the “Task Status” become “Completed”, other actions afterwards will go on.
Here is a demo about how to update a list item after a task is completed in my environment:
You can follow the steps above to make a test in your environment to see if this is what you want.

A ListItem has its own unique row id so in all likelihood, an insert with the same data will result in a new list entry. The Lists Web Service however, has an UpdateListItem method which will take an update request. [refer
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/websvclists.lists.updatelistitems(v=office.15).aspx ]
There is another note in the conference (marked answered) to your List Item Update problem. Probably worth a try too. [refer

Update existing list item value in sharepoint using web service code

I have the below code which I am trying to run for updating the list item value. "Settings" is the list name and the item in this list is having index of 1.
Main()
        ListsSoapClient client = new ListsSoapClient();
        client.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
        client.ClientCredentials.Windows.AllowedImpersonationLevel = System.Security.Principal.TokenImpersonationLevel.Impersonation;
        string strListName = "Settings";
        client.Open();
        XElement listData = client.GetList(strListName);
        string listID = listData.Attribute("ID").Value;
        string version = listData.Attribute("Version").Value;
        // string version = listData.Attribute("View").Value; Doesnt work
        // Method 1 : Make the call to SharePoint
        var listItems = client.GetListItems(strListName, null, null, null, null, null, null);
        List<XElement> results = listItems.Descendants().ToList();
        XElement updateItem = results[1];
        updateItem.SetAttributeValue("ows_Value", "value to update");
        client.UpdateListItems(strListName, updateItem); //Didnt work
        // Method 2 : Make the call to SharePoint
        string strBatch = "<Method ID='1' Cmd='Update'>" +
                        "<Field Name='ID'>1</Field>" +
                        "<Field Name='Title'>" + "999" + "</Field></Method>";
        XmlDocument xmlDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
        System.Xml.XmlElement elBatch = xmlDoc.CreateElement("Batch");
        //elBatch.SetAttribute("OnError","Continue"); //Not mandatory ?
        //elBatch.SetAttribute("ListVersion","1"); //Not mandatory ?
        //elBatch.SetAttribute("ViewName", "00F85842-35AD-4AED-8DF7-0F903FB850BE"); is it mandatory ?

        client.Close();
   public static XElement XmlElementToXelement(XmlElement e)
        return XElement.Parse(e.OuterXml);

Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.

Update item in SharePoint 2010 list when a entry made in SQL server

Hi there,
I have four lists on a SharePoint 2010 site. There is a column - Equipment Name - in each of the lists. I want only this column to be updated in all the lists, when a new entry is made in SQL server.
I referred
http://oszakiewski.net/eric/connecting-a-sharepoint-2010-list-to-external-database-table and found it good, however I want to only update one column and not to perform CRUD. Also, can it be possible to achieve this without referring to Central Administration
settings?
Thanks

Hi,
Let’s verify the following:
Whether your four lists are external list with SQL Server data source. If not, you can’t sync the list with SQL Server.
External list items are sync from data source, they keep sync all the time.
Whether you aren’t want to perform CRUD in the list. You can select some of them instead of using all of them.
You can create all of the column from the four lists in your SQL Server database table, and then create four external lists with that table as data source.
Modify view-> in each external list check the columns which you want display in every list. Then you can update the “Equipment” column in each external list.
