List Item - Query

Hello,
I would like the contents of my list item to be based on values in a table as opposed to my entering the values statically in the List elements box.
Can someone send me the code / procedure of doing this ?
Thanks
FM

You can use the following built-in:
Populate_list (list_tem_name OR id, Record_group_name or id)
The record group could be created at design time OR at run-time, its based on a query that selects 2 columns, first represents label, and second represents value.
if you'll create record group at run-time, use create_group_from_query and populate_group built-ins..

Caml query for filtering list item not working as expected in Sharepoint hosted app

I am trying to filter list item based on particular value.
var header = "xyz";
camlQueryHeader.set_viewXml = "<view><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Position'/>" + "<Value Type='Text'>" + header + "</Value></Eq></Where></Query></view>";
Instead of getting filtered list items, I get all the list items. What am I missing?
Note: I am creating Sharepoint hosted app using CSOM.
regards, Ritesh Anand

Hi,
According to the code provided, I suggest you modify the code like this:
camlQueryHeader.set_viewXml('<view><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name=\'Position\'/>' + '<Value Type=\'Text\'>' + header + '</Value></Eq></Where></Query></view>');
Here is a documentation of how to use the viewXml property of SP.CamlQuery object:
SP.CamlQuery.viewXml Property

Oracle Forms List Items :not populating list Dynamically using select Query

Hi ,
I need to create a list item. And the values to be populated in the list are from Database but I'm unable to populate from database.
Please help me out how to populate the values from database.
In Property Pallete we have Elements in List under Functional section , In this we have to manually enter the List values but we can't use any Query to Dynamically populate.
Thanks,
Kiran Sanga

When you need to fill a list with the result of a query, you'll have to do it at runtime.
Andreas has a good blogpost about this.

How to get List Item attachments name without write any custom code or any database query?

Hi,
How to get List Items attachments name without write any custom code or any database query?

You can get it from Rest,
There are 2 options,
1) create a 'Result Source' which has a search query for that List which has attachments
- Use rest query to get the 'Filename' , it will have the attachment file name
For example, if the result source id is : 73e6b573-abf8-4407-9e5f-8a85a4a95159 , then the query will be
http://[site URL]/_api/search/query?querytext='*'&selectproperties='Title,Path,FileExtension,SecondaryFileExtension,Filename'&sourceid='73e6b573-abf8-4407-9e5f-8a85a4a95159'&startrow=0&rowLimit=100
You can refine the query, be giving proper 'querytext'
2) Use the List rest api
For example if your list guid is :38d524a1-e95c-439f-befd-9ede6ecd242e
You can get he attachments for 1st item using this
http://[Site URL]/_api/lists(guid'38d524a1-e95c-439f-befd-9ede6ecd242e')/items(1)/AttachmentFiles

List item - Record Group Query - Alignment improper Order

Dear All,
When am trying to concatenate two columns using record group query and displaying in the list item, the alignment is not in proper order.
E.g; Below is the columns and data's used in process:
CODE_VALUE     SHORT_DESC     DESCRIPTION
ROLL1     Customer - Non accidental     Production, booking with other carrier, bad projection.
ROLL2     Customer - Accidental     L/C, B/L draft, Customs, Samples, AMS, LAR.
ROLL3     ABC - Lack of empty     Lack of empty units.
ROLL4     ABC CDE - Roll over     AGR RRR decision.
ROLL5     ABC XXX - Accidental     IMO or OOG refused, operational problems, Cut & Run.
ROLL6     ABC YYY - Fictive booking     Equipment buffer, dummy booking.
Below is the record group query used in forms:
PROCEDURE p_when_new_form_instance
IS
GROUP_ID recordgroup;
list_id item := FIND_ITEM ('BLK_CONTROL.LI_ROLL_REASON');
rg_name VARCHAR2 (20) := 'LI_ROLL_REASONS';
status NUMBER;
l_query VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
l_query :=
'SELECT rpad(short_desc,50,'' '')||'' | ''||description description, code_value code_value FROM codes WHERE code_value IN (''ROLL1'', ''ROLL2'', ''ROLL3'',''ROLL4'',''ROLL5'',''ROLL6'')';
GROUP_ID := CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY (rg_name, l_query);
status := POPULATE_GROUP (GROUP_ID);
POPULATE_LIST (list_id, GROUP_ID);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
pl_common.when_others;
END;
Moreover i have my list item font property by default as ""MS SANS SERIF" and when i run in Forms Builder am getting the alignment as below.
Result:
====
DESCRIPTION     CODE_VALUE
Customer - Non accidental | Production, booking with other carrier, bad projection.     ROLL1
Customer - Accidental | L/C, B/L draft, Customs, Samples, AMS, LAR.     ROLL2
ABC - Lack of empty | Lack of empty units.     ROLL3
ABC CDE - Roll over | AGR RRR decision.     ROLL4
ABC XXX - Accidental | IMO or OOG refused, operational problems, Cut & Run.     ROLL5
ABC YYY - Fictive booking | Equipment buffer, dummy booking.      ROLL6
Above order is not the expected result as all the |(pipe) symbol should display in proper order as below.
Expected Result:
==========
DESCRIPTION     CODE_VALUE
Customer - Non accidental | Production, booking with other carrier, bad projection.     ROLL1
Customer - Accidental | L/C, B/L draft, Customs, Samples, AMS, LAR.     ROLL2
ABC - Lack of empty | Lack of empty units.     ROLL3
ABC CDE - Roll over | AGR RRR decision.     ROLL4
ABC XXX - Accidental | IMO or OOG refused, operational problems, Cut & Run.     ROLL5
ABC YYY - Fictive booking | Equipment buffer, dummy booking.      ROLL6
I tried with RPAD and LPAD still the alignment issue is there; i know the issue is because of invariable length of the font.
But is there any solution to override this it will be of great help.
So please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks..................
Regards,
Sunil.G

Hi Francois,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried changing the font to "Courier(Western)" it is working fine.
But as per the standards defined, it should be "Ms Sans Serif" nothing apart from that.So that is where the problem lies. :(

List Item issue during Query

Do you get any error? If not, be aware that oracle only retrieves records which has a matching value in any database-based listitem in the block. Maybe you check the values you assign to your listitem.

Populate HTML LIST ITEM with a query

Hello,
I've a problem,
I'm building a portlet based on an html form.
In this forms there are several list items,
How can I populate an html list item with a dynamic query based on a db table?

I hope you are looking for something like this
declare
v_ret_string varchar2(32767);
begin
v_ret_string := ' <TABLE BORDER="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" bgcolor="#FFFFF0">
               <TR><TD><TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="3" CELLPADDING="0">
               <BR>
                    <TR><TD ALIGN=middle><SELECT SIZE="1" NAME="emp_list">
                         <OPTION VALUE="">';
For get_emp_list In (Select ENAME,EMPNO
From SCOTT.EMP
          Order by ENAME) Loop
v_ret_string := v_ret_string || '<OPTION VALUE="'||get_emp_list.EMPNO||'">'||get_emp_list.ENAME;
End Loop;
v_ret_string := '</SELECT></TD></TR><TABLE></TABLE>';
End;
which uses PL/SQL code to generate the html page.

CAML Query to Sort SharePoint list items based on Modified date

hi ,
can we sort sharePoint list items based on 'Modified' column, the sorting should be done up to milliseconds level.
currently i am using CAML query as below
<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='Modified' Type='DateTime' IncludeTimeValue='TRUE' Ascending='False'/></OrderBy>but its not considering milliseconds while sorting.
Thanks and Regards,
venkatesh.

Veda, thanks but I'm not really a hardcore C# coder.
We found more elegant solution was to create a List View which returns all records that should be deleted, based on our own custom deletion criteria, and then create an very simple SSIS Package in Visual Studio using the
Sharepoint Connectors for SSIS to delete all Sharepoint List Items returned from that List View. The Sharepoint Destination Connector has a delete operation.
This worked for us and didn't require any coding.

Execute Query by using LOV (List Item)

Hello Everyone,
I did research on how to use List Item with Query but i am still confused since i am a new to the FORM.
I have created a form where user enters
Start Date: -- this field user can just type the date
End Date: -- this field user can just type the date
Violence: -- this is my List Item (Drop down Menu) where user select the code
once they select the parameter i have created "Execute" button and it will give number of violence within the date range. the query is giving me right number or violence but then i need to drill down to details.
so i created a trigger when user double click on the number ( result number) it will pop up another window and display the details
For example:f_name, l_name, ssn etc...
Now, my problem is when i double click on (Text Item) it. Its not giving me the number of records that i have get when i execute at the first by using date range and violance code.
This is the step that i have use:
when user click Execute button the PL/SQL code:
Query_step1(:start_date,:end_date,:violations);
when user double click on Text Item once they have the number this is what i have used code for PL/SQL
begin
     go_block('xxhc_hearings_rpt_v');
     set_block_property('xxhc_hearings_rpt_v',default_where,'hearing_result = '||'''TERMINATE'''||'and violation '||''||:violations||''||'and propose_term_dt between '||''''||:start_date||''''||' and '||''''||:end_date||'''');
     execute_query;
end;
So please anyone can give me little direction that will be a great help.
Thank You.

Use the system variable LAST_QUERY to check that you SQL is valid. Assign it to a temp field in the block and check it out.

Is it possible to query an Item with two or more conditions in OOB Update List Item WF Step

In SharePoint Designer 2010, in Workflows, is it possible to give more then one condition when querying items? Let me explain, it is fairly easy to drop Update item in this list step, and say, for example, Update item with ID X. However, if is it possible
to do something along this lines with OOB steps, Update an item in this list where Title is Equal to "abc" and Modify date no older then 3 days.
Update: Workflow is started when the item is added to the list. What I would like is to update some fields on this item depending on information in this item and in external list. For example
Current Item Field 1 has value "abc"
Current Item Field 2 has value "123"
Current Item Field 3 has value "456"
External List has Item with value in Field 1 "123"
External List has Item with value in Field 2 "abc"
External List has Item with value in Field 3 "xyz"
Update Current Item Field 3 with value "xyz"
In short I would need following query - Update Current_Item_Field_3 with value from External_List_Field_3 where Field 1 is equal to Current_Item_Field_2 and Field 2 is equal to Current_Item_Field_1

Hi,
From your description, I understand you want to update list item with workflow based on two or more conditions.
To resolve your issue, you need to use “If current item field equals value” condition. Use this condition to compare a field in the current item that the list or reusable list workflow is currently running on to a value. Values can be static text, dynamic
strings, and lookups to variables, context information, or other SharePoint fields. And you can learn more about each condition by referring to the article:
https://support.office.com/en-in/article/Workflow-conditions-in-SharePoint-Designer-2010-A-quick-reference-guide-d8e33ac7-9336-487f-a60b-388c4ea497ff?ui=en-US&rs=en-IN&ad=IN
I assume your External List is called “ListB”, and Current List is called “ListA”, You can follow the steps below:
1. Add “If current item field equals value" for condition that ListB Field2 equals to ListA Field1, then set the second condition “ListB Field1 equal to ListA Field2” as the “Find the List Item” in the “Lookup for Single line of text”
as the screenshot below:
2. Add “Update List Item” as the screenshot below for updating Current_Item_Field_3 with value from External_List_Field_3. In addition, you should set “Find the List Item” in “Lookup for Single line of text” same to the “Find the List Item” in step 1:
In addition, if you have more conditions, you could add “If current item field equals value” condition, and you should set each “Find the List Item” in “Lookup for Single line of text” same to the “Find the List Item” in step 1.
