Is there a way to allow setting of "Due Date for All Tasks" to current date in OOB Workflow

Is there a way to allow setting of "Due Date for All Tasks" to current date in OOB Workflow
I need to set it today because there are tasks that is needed to be completed on the same day.
Is there a way without modifying the page/form. like a configuration or something?

Hi ,
As Ajeet said, for implement your requirement, you can change the data validation on the Due data field.
You can do as the following :
Open the site with SharePoint Designer 2010
Click on Workflows on the left launch, then find ‘Approval-SharePoint 2010’, click on it
On the Forms section, click ‘ReviewApproval_***.xsn’
Then you can find Due Data for All Tasks, and change the validation
In addition, if you create an approval workflow with SharePoint Designer, you can use a specific date, it contains hour and minute.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Is there any way I may set low resources priority for a specific job or even all SQL jobs?

Is there any way I may set low resources priority for a specific job or even all SQL jobs?
Our database is quite big and everything works OK and very fast, except SQL jobs which are used mainly for maintenance purposes.
I have one specific job which runs for 2 minutes and takes a lot of resources which may affect execution of other stored procedure which should be executed fast.The worst part is that this job has to be executed during the most active working hours. It does
not matter for me how long will it take to execute this job. I just do not want it to use so much resources.
Also I noticed when SQL backup job (takes about 4 minute) is scheduled it also takes a lot of resources and sometimes because of that I am receiving "login timeout" error on my web site.

depending on you sql server version and edition, you can use resource governor and limit the cpu and memory.
in most typical cases , you can use the session user name and times and classify the how much cpu and memory they can use. refer : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645892.aspx
but in your case, the problem seems to be with the maintenance jobs which could run as sql server service account.
also, if the backup are third party tool backup, you can specify the priority level and other options etc to make it less priority.
it is possible to do that even with native backups such as specifying the limiting buffercount, max transfer size, if the server is memory pressured. sometimes, stripping the backups to multiple sets across different devices, could help as well. even though
stripping the backups can introduce another complexity.
may be you need to rethink you back up\recovery strategy.
Hope it Helps!!

Is there a way to hide todos without due dates?

I have gobs of items without due dates. iCal shows them all! Is there any way of having it hide those?
I am able to hide todos that have a due date in the future (past the view date of the calendar), but I cannot find an option for hiding the masses of chores, list items, things to read, etc. that have no dates on them. Fortunately, they do show up at the bottom of the list, but...
Also, is there a way to hide todos of medium or low priority? Again, I'd like to focus my attention on the most pressing items!

Hi,
As far as I'm aware there is no way to do this.
If you'd like Apple to add this as a feature I suggest you send them feedback.

Is there any way to increase the amount of space for all day events?

I have iCal on my ipad and my phone, and when I look at the daily view or weekly view, only 1 1/2 lines are shown. If I have a few events that are all day (I keep several calendars) then I have to scroll through them one at a time. And with my fingers, sometimes they go by too fast. Does anyone know how to increase the amount of space? I am using an iPad3, and an iPhone 5, both with ios 7.
Thank you!

With Mac OS X, there is no way for you to alter the amount of real memory a program is allocated. This is all done dynamically by the OS. OS X's virtual memory management is far better than 'ole OS 9's.
What are saying about a memory leak? I take it that Safari is continually using more and more memory. How much memory is it usually taking up after a few hours? Perhaps you should just quit and restart Safari every few hours before it begins failing to respond.

Regarding new Reminder app in Mountain Lion: is there a away to sort reminders by due date in the same fashion you can in the iCloud version of Reminders?

Regarding new Reminder app in Mountain Lion: is there a way to sort reminders in due date order in the same fashion as you can in the iCloud version of Reminders?

So true! I have to agree: "It appears Reminders in 10.8 did not get a whole lot of thought put into it regarding how folks actually use reminders."
With Mountain Lion, Reminders no longer resembles a task-management (to-do) app in any way. I used to be able to limp along using it for my to-dos (although it never did accommodate this need well). This upgrade has made Reminders completely unusable for task management.
Once I got over my disappointment, I did some research and decided to try "Things." This application has all the functionality I've been wanting all along. It has a Mac version, an iPhone version, and an iPad version (among others)--and it keeps all devices synched via the Cloud (just not the iCloud ... but who needs the i ?). I wish I'd discovered it years ago. I'm glad now that Mountain Lion put Reminders over the edge; otherwise, I would not have made this discovery.
"Things" (oddly named though it is) comes close to the old Franklin planner software I used to love and haven't been able to find a substitute for. It can import items from Reminders, and it works with Siri. It's a joy to use, and it does everything I want it to do plus some things I never thought of and will use all the time. I downloaded the free trial version last night and within an hour paid for it with gratitude.

I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features? I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

TS4083 Is there a way or a setting my folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC, my folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manua

Is there a way (or a setting) for my individual folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? For example, if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC - say 10th of the following month - the same folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manually. Interestingly though, if I create a new folder on any of my devices they automatically appear on the other devices so it is just the actual contents that I am referring to here. Appreciate any help or guidance.

Justin

You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.

Is there a way to permanently set the mailbox order?

Is there a way to permanently set the sequence in which mailboxes are displayed in the left-most panel of Mail? I can drag and drop the mailboxes into the order I want, and they seem to stick around - at least until I update any of the accounts. The moment I update an accounts prefernces in Preferences, Accounts, the display order is set to the same order that appears on the preferences display.
I have a fairly large number of email accounts, and often have to tweak settings, so it's a bit of a pain to have to reset the order every time I make a change.
This is occurring on both my MBP and my iMac.

Same question.
I recently left Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
Previously, in the side bar of Mail, (the one you make visible using "Show" in a previous post here), I was able to drag and drop any of the Reception mailboxes to the place I wanted to select, to put them in the order I wished, and this order remained until I decide to change it.
This seems not possible any more, or... just for the current session. If I close Mail and reopen, Reception boxes are re-ordered in alphabetic way.
Any way to make my choice permanent as before ???
To make it more clear, ordering my way is possible by drag and dropping for private mailboxes, but not for reception mailboxes associated to different mail accounts, the order is lost once Mail is closed.

Is there a way to pre-set the alarm volume on iPhone?

Is there a way to pre-set the alarm volume on iPhone? Every evening I have to remember to adjust the volume to 3 bars, versus full volume during the day.

I cannot believe this problem hasn't been rectified yet!
If I use the pre installed ringtone as an alarm and set it low so I don't jump out of my skin, then my call volume is too low the next day, so have to change it.
If I use a song as an alarm, I have the same problem, but its when I watch a video. I set it quiet, then jump out of my skin the next morning if I've left it tuned up after watching YouTube. Also works the other way if I've watched a video with the sound down, and forget to turn it back up, then I don't hear my alarm, which makes me late!
It could also do with an ascending volume option, so it starts nice and quiet to wake you gradually. My old phones from pre iPhone days had these features and they worked great.
Surely this isn't that much of an issue to sort out. Yet I've seen posts back as far as 2006 complaining about it.
Come on apple pull your finger out!

ICE is there a way to allow my client to make External URLs open in new tabs?

Hi.
I have a set my client's site up with lots of editable regions so they can manage content. Although the InContext editor is great for letting my client link to internal pages, documents and external pages I couldn't find where they would select the external URL to open in a new browser tab. Obviously I can go back in and add the html to their links but is there a way they can set the target?
Cheers
David

The sessionstore.js file only exists while Firefox is closed. During shutdown, Firefox writes out that file based (I think) on recovery.js as of that point. When Firefox starts back up again, it reads sessionstore.js and deletes it. So if Firefox is running, it's normal not to see sessionstore.js. Anyway, sessionstore.js is going to be empty now.
Shadow Explorer might already have done this for you, but just in case...
You could try the previous versions feature. This is harder to get to on Windows 8 and 8.1, but I have read about a roundabout way. I can't test this myself, but here's what you do:
Let's say you have a Windows Explorer window open to your current Firefox profile folder. This is something like (with your username and semi-random profile folder name):
C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\blahblah
Click in the address bar and change the C: to
\\localhost\c$
to yield (with your username and semi-random profile folder name)
\\localhost\c$\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\blahblah
Press Enter to reload the folder contents that way.
Now when you right-click recovery.js, recovery.bak, backup.js or sessionstore.js and choose Properties, there should be a Previous Versions tab. Usually the most recent previous version dates back to the last time Windows created a restore point (e.g., system update or possibly scheduled on a more frequent basis).

Is there a way to allow text wrapping on the outside (parent) group label IN SSRS Bar chart?

Hi,
I am using SSRS 2012. I have a series of charts that have multiple category groups. When I preview the chart, everything looks great unless the category group label is too long. In that case it just gets cut off. I've tried allowing
"wrapped text", changed interval values,font size for Y AXIS but that seems to only affect the inside (child) category group. Is there a way to allow text wrapping on the outside (parent) group label?
I am expecting AREA VIII BUT it shows AR on y axis.
I need to fix it asap.

Hi Sukhjeet.BI,
Actually, I can reproduced the issue in my local Reporting Services environment. If there are multiple category groups on the chart, the child category can be wrapped, but the parent category would be truncated. Based on my research, this behavior looks
like by design. Usually, the best practice is to limiting label length and number of items, use a smaller size label font or enlarge the chart size to get the chart to display properly.
If you have any concerns about this in Reporting Service, I would suggest you submitting a wish at
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback.

Is there a way to permanently set a font in pages?

The default font in pages is Helvetica. Every time I start a new document, I have to change it to Times New Roman. Is there a way to permanently set the font as Times New Roman so that I do not have to do it every time. Thanks.

You need to create your own default template. Open the blank template & set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font. You can set default wrap for any object as well as many other settings. Insert a table, click in it & choose the font, size, color, etc. you want in the fonts panel or format bar. You can do similar changes to inserted objects & text boxes. While you're at it resize the box if you want, set the amount of extra space in the wrap inspector, etc. Delete each text box, object & table after you've set them.
Now, save this document as a template & select that template as default in preferences. If you decide to make any changes to the template down the road, just Save As Template again with the same name & replace the previous version. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.

Is there a way to allow someone to play a keynote briefing and prevent them from copying, rewriting, or printing it?

Is there a way to allow someone to play a keynote briefing and prevent the user from copying, modifying, or printing it? The reason I ask this
is because I have created a lengthy keynote briefing book that has motion in it, and I don't want it copied, modified, or printed.

To lock a presentation : 1 Open the presentation you want to lock , and hold your pointer over the name of the presentation at the top of the Keynote application window. A triangle appears. 2 Click the triangle and choose Lock. To unlock a presentation for editing: Hold your pointer over the name of the presentation at the top of the application m window until the triangle appears, click the triangle, and then choose Unlock
Good luck

Is there any way we can set default value for a Date Attribute to current date in Master Data Services

Is there any way we can set default value for a Date Attribute to current date in Master Data Services.
I as well wants to know that is there any posibility to show Calendar control while input data into respective date attributes.
Thanks.

Hi Anagha,
So far i havent found any way to set todays date by default from MMI, but i guess this flow should work as workaroud
1. Add buisness rule which can set a default value when Date = NULL/Blank
2.get the entity table ,use -select EntityTable from mdm.tblEntity where Name = '<enter entity name>'
3.Go to that table and add a after update trigger like
if uda_<entityid>_<attributeid(Date attribute)> = default value
update uda_<entityid>_<attributeid(Date attribute)> =getdate() where id = <LastUpdatedRow>
I will check on this too from my side.
By the way AFAIK i dont think so calendar control integration is possible .

Hello Addouk,
no, storage space cannot be shared between different Apple IDs/iCloud accounts. Another option which is definitely not recommended and does not make much sense would be to use one account together.
