Implementing Alerts for a Custom List

Hi,
I have a custom list in our SharePoint 2013 environment. One of the columns is "Contract Expiry Date". We would like to send an automated email to a specific person when the "Contract Expiry Date" is 30 days ahead of time.
I believe there are few ways to implement this in SharePoint. Could you please give me your opinion about how you would implement the above requirement.
Thanks a lot.
Dineth

Hi Dineth,
Thanks for posting your issue, Workflows seem like the right way to do it. you can customize your workflow condition based on your expiry date.
Kindly browse the below mentioned URLs to create workflow to send an email for expiry

Setting up records management for a custom list in SharePoint 2013

In a workflow 2013, I am planing to 'declare a record' on a custom list. I am doing this since I do not want users to be able to change the custom list once the record is submitted to workflow 2013.
There are options in record declarations settings that I am not certain what to set like what values are appropriate in 'declaration of records can be performed by'.
Since I am my own administrator on my test SharePoint 2013 website, would you tell me what I can do at the administrator's site level to enable the 'mark a record and/or declare a record feature? Basically I would like to know what options to set for a custom
list so the records can not be modified once the custom list has been submitted to the workflow.

Hi Wendy,
There are 2 ways either in place records or records archive it will depend on your requirments.
check this article it will guide you about how to configure each way

Appropriate permissions for the custom list

Hi,
Recently
I have taken up SharePoint 2013 exam and I got bit confused for one of the question i.e.
Case Study: Consolidated Messenger
You are the lead architect developer and web administrator of SharePoint 2013 for your company.
Consolidated Messenger is a national company with hundreds of franchises
Consolidated Messenger sells franchises to franchisees. Franchisees have three user types
User and its Role
Franchise Manager- Response for managing the franchise
Franchise Employee- Responsible for managing accounts and setting pick-up and drop-off locations for couriers
Courier- Responsible for picking up and dropping off packages
You need to set appropriate permissions for the franchise employees
customer list and customer sub site access. What should you do?
A) Add franchise employees to the Members group in the CorporateSiteCollection site collection.
Break inheritance at the
franchisee sub site level.
Create a custom role definition at the
franchisee sub site level.
Add franchise employees to the custom role.
B)
Create a custom role definition in the CorporateSiteCollection site collection with the limited access to the customers list.
Add franchise employees to the custom role at the CorporateSiteCollection site collection
Break inheritance at the
sub site level.
Add franchise owners to the Owners group
at the
sub site level.
C)
Create a custom role definition in the CorporateSiteCollection site collection with the limited access to the customers list.
Add franchise employees to the custom role.
Add full inheritance of the role definition and permissions at the site level
D) Add franchise employees to the Visitors group in the CorporateSiteCollection site collection.
Break inheritance at the
franchisee sub site level.
Create a custom role definition at the
sub site level with Full Control permissions.
Add franchise employees to the custom role.
I feel that both options B and C are applicable but I couldn’t come to conclusion.
Please
share your opinion the same.

Sudheer
Thanks & Regards, Sudheer

@Naga, As per non disclosure agreement that you have signed / agreed with Microsoft, I think you should not share confidential exam questions or answers. That would amount to violation of NDA.

How to avoid custom action script link executing for all pages. It should execute for only custom list

I want to execute only to list not on all the pages. How i can acheive this. Please help
var context =
new SP.ClientContext.get_current;
this.oWebsite = context.get_web();
var collUserCustomAction =
this.oWebsite.get_userCustomActions();
var scriptLink = collUserCustomAction.add();
scriptLink.set_name('Welcome');

Then Edit the list page add the script editor web part on the page . Copy the paste the script. Now it will affect the list only. Or else in your script just validate the list id.

Implementing security for a custom Java Webdynpro

We have a webdynpro that was developed and forces a user to log in w/their UME credentials. I've been trying to find out where/how to implement specific security to the app (as in, which roles/groups can access it). In the security provider of the admin tool, i don't even see the app listed under the components, if that's even the right place to look.
Basically we want to create a UME role (which we've done) to assign it to this app, and then we'll assign a user group to the role. As of now, pretty much anyone with an account on this instance can access the app.

Hi David,
This is done using UME programmatic security. On the help portal there's a tutorial to explain how to go about doing it. Here's a link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/fa/a64d401be96913e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Once you setup the application, use the UME user admin to assign the application's actions to UME roles, which are then assigned to users.

Adding custom button to Ribbon for custom list definition

I'm trying to add a custom button to the ribbon, specifically for a custom list definition. I have two custom list definitions, one for a document library (Type="11008") and one for a list (Type="10002").
I can use the following CustomAction to successfully add a button to the document library ribbon:
<CustomAction Id="MyCustomAction.DocLib"
RegistrationId="11008"
RegistrationType="List"
Location="CommandUI.Ribbon">
<CommandUIExtension>
<CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.Library.Share.Controls._children">
<Button
Id="MyCustomAction.DocLib.Button"
Alt="Help"
Sequence="5"
Command="SayHi"
Image32by32Left="-64" Image32by32Top="-320" Image32by32="/_layouts/$Resources:core,Language;/images/formatmap32x32.png"
Image16by16Left="-64" Image16by16Top="-176" Image16by16="/_layouts/$Resources:core,Language;/images/formatmap16x16.png"
LabelText="Say Hi!"
TemplateAlias="o1"/>
</CommandUIDefinition>
</CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIHandlers>
<CommandUIHandler Command="SayHi" CommandAction="javascript:alert('Hi!');"/>
</CommandUIHandlers>
</CommandUIExtension>
</CustomAction>
If I try to do the same thing for my list, the button does not show up:
<CustomAction Id="MyCustomAction.List"
RegistrationId="10002"
RegistrationType="List"
Location="CommandUI.Ribbon">
<CommandUIExtension>
<CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.List.Share.Controls._children">
<Button
Id="MyCustomAction.List.Button"
Alt="Help"
Sequence="5"
Command="SayHi"
Image32by32Left="-64" Image32by32Top="-320" Image32by32="/_layouts/$Resources:core,Language;/images/formatmap32x32.png"
Image16by16Left="-64" Image16by16Top="-176" Image16by16="/_layouts/$Resources:core,Language;/images/formatmap16x16.png"
LabelText="Say Hi!"
TemplateAlias="o1"/>
</CommandUIDefinition>
</CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIHandlers>
<CommandUIHandler Command="SayHi" CommandAction="javascript:alert('Hi!');"/>
</CommandUIHandlers>
</CommandUIExtension>
</CustomAction>
What am I missing that is keeping me from getting this button to show up in my List ribbon?

Well, I debated just deleting my question, but I'll leave it up in case someone else runs into this. My custom list definition for my list had <Toolbar Type="Freeform" />. I don't remember why I changed that, but once I changed
that back to <Toolbar Type="Standard"/> my custom buttons started showing up as expected.
The answer
here pointed me in the right direction.

Custom ribbon button does not show for a Tasks list

I created a simple app using Visual Studio 2012 to add a custom ribbon button for a tasks list. After deploying the app to the SharePoint online, the button does not appear on the ribbon. The exact same button gets displayed properly
when added to the ribbon for a custom list. The elements file with the location of the button gets generated, so I can't imagine it would be wrong, but just in case, this is what I have:
<CustomAction Location="CommandUI.Ribbon"....
<CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.ListItem.Actions.Controls._children">...
Any help is greatly appreciated.
One more thing, if I add this button using SharePoint Designer 2013, the button does not get displayed either. I have a feeling it might be problem with the Tasks list?
Thanks

Hi Danny,
The button needs to be displayed only for one specific list. And as I mentioned, the elements file for the ribbon button was generated by VS, here is the content:
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<CustomAction Id="02aa4c3b-bb73-4dfa-989c-d63a9591dcee.RibbonCustomAction" RegistrationType="List" RegistrationId="{$ListId:Lists/Projects;}" Location="CommandUI.Ribbon" Sequence="10001" Title="Create Project Site">
<CommandUIExtension>
<CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.ListItem.Actions.Controls._children">
<Button Id="Ribbon.ListItem.Actions.RibbonCustomActionButton" Alt="Create Project Site" Sequence="100" Command="Invoke_RibbonCustomActionButtonRequest" LabelText="Create Project Site" TemplateAlias="o1" Image32by32="_layouts/15/images/placeholder32x32.png" Image16by16="_layouts/15/images/placeholder16x16.png" />
</CommandUIDefinition>
</CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIHandlers>
<CommandUIHandler Command="Invoke_RibbonCustomActionButtonRequest" CommandAction="~remoteAppUrl/Pages/Default.aspx?{StandardTokens}&SPListItemId={ItemId}&SPListId={ListId}"/>
</CommandUIHandlers>
</CommandUIExtension >
</CustomAction>
</Elements>
If the same button is added for a custom (not a Tasks) list, the button shows up fine.
Thanks

Help sought customizing a SP 2010 custom list template

I am forced to use InfoPath 2010 to edit and then publish the form for a custom list, due to problems that SP 2010 has displaying a set of lookup columns on the form.
Now that I have made the initial change, there are some other customizations that the users would like.
I have a source list for a look up column.
The source list has:
Department number - ie 27
Department name - ie Standards
Department division - ie Technical
as individual columns.
The current column is defined to use Department name. The users have asked if the dropdown could instead display the data as:
D27 - Standards - Technical
When I tried to create a calculated column that concatenated all of those on the source list, I found myself unable to submit new items for the list - SharePoint kept reporting that I needed a positive integer as a selection value for the dropdown.
Ideally what I want is the department number as the value for the dropdown, but the concatenated parts to be used as the display value of the lookup.
I have not been able to figure out how to do that.
Is there something simple that I am missing? When I look at the property of the dropdown, there isn't a way to add a formula to the display name of the data source/entries portion of the properties.

So after some work, I changed the number column to a text column in the list.
The control for selecting information on that control is not working properly now.
It is a drop down listbox control.
Its properties are:
cannot be blank
get choices from an external data source
data source is my sharepoint list that contains department number (text field now), department name, division name
entries is set to myFields->dataFields->d:SharePointListItem_RW - that is how it came out of the box, so I am assuming that it is correct
Value is set to d:SharePointListItem_RW->Department Number
Display name is set to d:SharePointListITem_RW->Department Name
When I attempt to use the form, the control is populated with the department names.
However, the last entry of the list is selected. Normally there would be nothing selected.
Even worse, if I select something else in the control, something causes the last entry in the list to be selected.
I don't know why something is causing a different item to be selected. There are no rules set on this form as far as I am aware.

How to disable custom list --Add New Item in share point 2010

Hi,
I have associated the workflow for the custom list .So i should not allow user to add any item on the custom list.
Regards,
Lakshmi

I understand that you want to restrict users from adding item to a list but they can do it from workflow.
You can break inheritance on that list and remove all permission.
Now run workflow using elevated privileges to add item to list

Setting Alerts for emails

I'm trying to set an alert for a SharePoint list. I can set the alert for myself and other users (which worked fine) but I cannot set an alert to a helpdesk email. I think it has something do to with licensing. Does the helpdesk need an exchange
email to get alerts? - we're in the process of migrating everybody to 365 as we speak.
Thanks!

Thanks for posting this issue,
Kindly find the below mentioned steps to solve this
1. Go to Exchange Management Console -> Recipient Configuration -> Distribution group.

SelectItems using custom list component and itemRenderer

Hello, is it possible to do this without overriding selectedItems setters?
I'm passing xml as the dataProvider for a custom list:
here is the dataProvider XML:
<color id="1" name="Red" color="0xFF0000" />
<color id="2" name="Blue" color="0x0000FF" />
<color id="3" name="Green" color="0x00FF00" />
<color id="4" name="Orange" color="0xFF9900" />
<color id="5" name="Yellow" color="0xFFFF33" />
<color id="6" name="Purple" color="0x990099" />
i I've tried passing the selectedItem like this: colors.selectedItem= XML('<color id="3" name="Green" color="0x00FF00" />')
with no luck. i also have tried the vector.<Object> method as well with no luck.Can someone show me an example data format that you think might work for the selectedItem property, or even better selectedItems?
thanks- brandon

Thank you for the help; so i think i understand what you're saying:
i have to search through the 'colors' dataProvider for the items i wish to be selected, then I create a list of those vectors/items I wish to be selected, then pass that list to the selectedItems property? seems easier to find all selectedIndices instead if this is a correct method? thanks -brandon

Email alert for discussions don't link to reply functionality

We're on SharePoint 2013. We have a discussion forum that we set up a daily change alert. After 6 months we have little reply posts. Until today we noticed that the change alert links to the posting of the discussion BUT WITHOUT the reply
functionality available.
A user happened to also ask the same day how do they reply.
So... community... does someone know how to make the alerts link to the page that does allow the replies? Thanks!

Hi Suzan,
How did you configure the Alerts for the discussion list?
Did you use the OOB alert in SharePoint?
If yes, please click the “View [Item Title]” link in the email to access the discussion in the site and then check if the Reply button exists.
If above cannot work, I recommend to check the things below:
Check if the users have permission to reply to the discussions.
Check if the issue still occur when accessing site directly.
Best regards.
Thanks

CfP - CPR02 - how to add additional Regularized/Customer List

Transaction /TDAG/CPR02 there is a field with a dropdown for "Regularized/Customer List" under "data selection for substance list". How can I add additional options to this dropdown?

Hi Heidi -
I'm assuming that you have some other regulatory lists defined already in your system.
Go into the IMG, Eh&S->CfP->Basic Data->Manage user exits. Copy a COMPL_CAT exit - and name it something that is relevant - such as the name of the regulatory list you want to add.
Next, in the IMG again right below where you just were, EH&S->CfP>Basic Data->Specify User Exit Parameters. Here you'll configure the regulatory list that is associated with your new user exit - I think you should be ok when you see the entries that are there..
Take care,
Rob
