Make a column is required for a document library

I follow the following step to set up the column is required. However, it works for one serve (it does not let me save document if the column is empty) but not for another server (it let me save document without data in the column).
I do not know if any server setting make the difference? I will appreciate your help.
1. Go to Document Library Settings
2. Click on Advanced Settings
3. Select 'Yes' for the option 'Do you want to manage the content types ?' and Save
4. Click on 'Document' link under Content Types section
5. You will see all the column listed
6. Click on 'Title' and now you can make it required field.
7. Save the changes

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you cannot set column to required for List Content Type in one of your SharePoint Server 2013.
To resolve your issue, please confirm these points below:
How many Content types do you have in this document, and make sure that you have choose the Document Content Type when you save document?
Does this issue exist if you make column to required in Site Content Types?

Minumum hardware requirement for Siebel Document server?

what is the minimum hardware requirement for Siebel document server?

To install the Document Server, perform the following steps:
Obtain the required hardware.
Install the Siebel Server.
Install third-party applications.
After installing the Siebel Server, you may have to follow some of the steps described in Configuring the Document Server. The Document Server is a component of Siebel eDocuments, which can be installed during installation of the Siebel Server. Consult with your system administrator to verify that the Document Server has been installed and configured according to the requirements listed in the following sections.
Hardware Requirements
The Document Server is supported on the Windows 2000 platform. To maintain stability and performance, the Document Server must run on a dedicated host machine. The Siebel Server on this machine should host one instance of the Siebel eDocuments component group. No other components should be running other than required system components.
To support more users, you can run additional instances of the Siebel eDocuments component group on additional dedicated host machines.
Installing the Siebel Server
Install the Siebel Server on the dedicated host machine of the Document Server. For more information about installing the Siebel Server, see Siebel Server Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows.
During installation, you will have the option to enable component groups. Select the Siebel eDocuments component group. Do not enable any other component groups.
This step can also be performed after installation is complete, as described in the section Enabling the Component Group.
Installing Third-Party Applications
You must install Microsoft Word.
To install Microsoft Office
Log on to the server machine using the same user account that the Siebel Server NT service uses. This user account must belong to the Administrators group.
NOTE: The install must use the same account to be used by the NT Service. The installer configures COM security settings so that the installing user account will have the correct permissions to access and launch the application. If the install uses an account other than the Siebel Server NT service account, errors may occur when the Document Server tries to launch the application.
Install Microsoft Office using a Typical, or complete, installation. Verify that your version of Microsoft Office will install the Web Authoring Tools (HTML) component with the Typical installation. If it does not, you will need to use the Custom installation option, and install all of the typical components as well as the Web Authoring Tools (HTML) component.
Start the applications that will be used by the Document Server. This forces the applications to register themselves.
Close the applications.
Regards,
Joseph Arul Dass

Detect what the default edit form is for a document library and list using jquery

Hi,
So what I have done is with some jquery made it that when a files are dragged and dropped into a document library and there is a required field such as "Metadata" the EditForm.aspx opens up for the user to fill in the required column. I am building
the url up from what I have found in SharePoints DragDrop.js file. This is all working perfectly I just need to find a way to dynamically find what the default edit form is for that document library as I have just hardcoded like this...
g_currentControl.strSiteUrl + "/" + this.ListName + "/Forms/EditForm.aspx?ID=" + id
So I need a way to figure out what the default edit form is instead of hard coding like this in case someone creates a custom_editform.aspx or something for one of the lists.
Thanks

You can get it by hitting this REST end point via JQuery:

How to disable drag and drop feature for a document library?

Hi
How can I disable drag and drop feature for a document library? Do I have an option to disable it from the SharePoint's feature set?
Or can I disable it using a script? If so, how?
Regards
Paru

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to disable drag and drop feature for a document library.
Drag and drop in SharePoint 2013 is a feature that depends on HTML5, which requires version of browser, SharePoint by default doesn’t has feature to disable or enable this.
You can try disabling the drag and drop feature by disabling an add-on in Internet Explorer, or
using Internet Explorer 9 or lower.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

Creating a folder for a document library in SharePoint online

Hello I am looking for a good place to get started on creating a folder for a document library using a powershell script. Thanks in advance for any help.

Here is a guide to creating folders and items in a document library for SharePoint Server/Foundation: Creating SharePoint Folders
and Items with PowerShell. You will need to tailor it to your needs as it's a demo for creating 50,000 items.
That's step 1 and contains the bulk of what you would need to do. Here's an example of connecting to a library in SharePoint Online using CSOM: Office
365 - PowerShell Script to Upload Files to a Document Library using CSOM. You won't be uploading files, but the parts where you connect and get a list are what you're interested in.
Now you'll combine bits from both of these scripts:
1. Connect to SPO
2. Get your list (looks like you need to first get the site collection and then the site)
3. Create a folder
I figure it would look something like this (note I haven't tested this at all):
#Specify tenant admin and site URL
$User = "[email protected]"
$SiteURL = "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/site"
$DocLibName = "DocLib"$FolderTitle = "Example Folder"
#Add references to SharePoint client assemblies and authenticate to Office 365 site - required for CSOM
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll"
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"
$Password = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter your password" -AsSecureString
#Bind to site collection
$Context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteURL)
$Creds = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($User,$Password)
$Context.Credentials = $Creds
#Retrieve list
$List = $Context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle($DocLibName)
$folder = $list.AddItem("", [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileSystemObjectType]::Folder)
$folder["Title"] = $FolderTitle
$folder.Update();

Different View for same document library on a Wiki Page

Hi,
I am developing a Provided hosted app which have a functionality to create a document library with two Views. Also we need to show this document library in a wiki page with two different views.
I am using CSOM (C#). I am able to create the document library and the two views programmatically. But when I add the document library in the wiki page the default view (All Documents) is shown for both the web parts. There is an hidden view created with
the WebPartDefinition from the xml provided through code.
Through CSOM we are able make a View as default with the link below.
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/90433/add-document-library-xsltlistviewwebpart-using-csom-or-web-services
In my case both the webparts will get the same view, where I need different view for same document library in a wiki page.
Also I tried to update the web parts with the following code.
string viewString = @"<View Name='{0}' MobileView='TRUE' Type='HTML' Url='/SitePages/Home.aspx' Level='1' BaseViewID='1' ContentTypeID='0x' ImageUrl='/_layouts/15/images/dlicon.png?rev=23' >
<Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='KeyDocument'/><Value Type='Boolean'>1</Value></Eq></Where></Query>
<ViewFields><FieldRef Name='FileLeafRef'/><FieldRef Name='DocumentOwner'/><FieldRef Name='Modified'/>
<FieldRef Name='_UIVersionString'/><FieldRef Name='Editor'/></ViewFields>
<RowLimit Paged='TRUE'>30</RowLimit><JSLink>clienttemplates.js</JSLink><XslLink Default='TRUE'>main.xsl</XslLink>
<Toolbar Type='Standard'/></View>";
WebPartDefinition wpd = wpfound.FirstOrDefault();
string formattedstring = String.Format(viewString, wpd.Id);
wpd.WebPart.Properties["XmlDefinition"] = formattedstring;
wpd.SaveWebPartChanges();
web.Context.ExecuteQuery();
I created two views (viewString) as shown above.
The above code did not throw error, but it did not update the web part.
Please advise how to move forward.

Hi Samir,
When we click outside of the list view webpart on a webpart page (or allitems.aspx page) with containing multiple webparts, the list view webpart will lose the focus, and the selected items will be deselected, this is by design.
You can look at the following article with using the approach/workaround of Javascript to prevent the specified list view webpart from losing focus.
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/44360/list-view-loses-focus-when-additional-webpart-added-to-page
//Set focus on our list web part
var webPart = document.getElementById('WebPartWPQ1');
WpClick({target: webPart});
//Prevent it from losing focus
SP.Ribbon.WebPartComponent.$3_1.deselectWebPartAndZone = function() { };
Thanks

Site not Opening as it is saying Cannot make a cache safe URL for "1033/style library/lg/jquery-1.9.1.js

Please can any one help on this
When try to open site it is giving this error
Cannot make a cache safe URL for "1033/style library/lg/jquery-1.9.1.js
but same site is opening for other users

Solution 1 :Deploy your script files under Style Library of your site.
if it is not working try the below
Sometimes you will get the error as "Cannot make a cache safe URL for "1033/sp.debug.js", file not found. Please verify that the file exists under the layouts directory. " For this you can copy the sp.debug.js file and put it inside C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033.
- Another solution is you can add Localizable = false attribute to SharePoint:ScriptLink like below:
<SharePoint:ScriptLink language="javascript" name="/foldername/JS/newjsfile.js" Localizable = false runat="server"/>
- Apart from this you can also give file path simply using script tag like below (provided file should be deployed inside StyleLibrary):
<script src="/Style%20Library/foldername/scripts/slides.min.jquery.js"type="text/javascript"> </script>

Enable Merge Documents and Relink documents views for a document library

Hi All,
I would like to have Merge Documents and Relink documents views for a document library (not a form library). I was able to see Combine.aspx and Repair.aspx in the document library open with explorer -> Forms folder. How do I enable these two views?
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Merge Documents -> /Forms/Combine.aspx
Relink Documents -> /Forms/repair.aspx

These two views is actually hidden in SharePoint library, you can enable it by set hidden property to false.
download SharePoint manager, then find the site, root to the specified library, click views, find the Merge documents view, you will see that the Hidden propery is by default set to true.

When do Workflows fire for a Document Library that requires Check In?

I have a SharePoint Designer workflow that is set to fire if the item is changed, and this workflow is running against a Document Library that requires Check In.
So, the big question is, does the workflow fire if the document is checked out, and the properties are modified, but before the document is checked back in? Or, will the workflow only fire after the document is checked back in?
I understand that a workflow is asynchronous, and that a document could be modified and then checked in, and the workflow might only fire after that. What I want to know is whether the workflow will fire if the document properties are modified but the document
is not checked in for some time.

The workflow will fire only when the user checks in the document.

Created column not showing in the Document Library View for a Custom Content Type based on Document

We have a custom content type based of Document Content Type. The OOTB "Created" column does not show up in the view as well as in the Site Settings -> Columns.
But it shows up in the Display Form and Edit Form of the Item at the bottom "Created at " by " " and "Modified by" at by ""
Would anyone know how to make this column appear as part of the view ?
thanks,
Harsh

Hi,
They should by default be possible to add to a view. The only reason they would disappear from the UI if someone has changed the attribute of the Field to hidden = true. You can verify that with PowerShell and if so you can use PowerShell to revert the setting
to false.
$w = Get-SPWeb http://dev13$f = $w.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName("Created")$f.Hidden$f.Hidden = $false$f.Update()

Requirement for changing document type

Hello Gurus,
       when I want to change sales document type, there is a requirement as following :
" When you change the sales order type for a sales document that has already been saved, both sales document types must belong to the same number range."
my question is:
   1. can sales order type be changed ? most recommend to remove previouse sales order, and create new sales order with another sales order type.
   2. what does " the same number range" mean in the above quoted word ?
thanks very much

Different Order Type can share the same number range. In the case, if Sale Order Type is saved in Transaction, then it cannot be chaged.
The number range is controlled through Number Range Object, which is maintained in Sales Order Type (T.Code: VOV8).
Configuration steps are as under:
Normal Sales Order Cycle:-
Step 1: Sales Document Type
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents >
Sales Document Header:
1. Sales Document Type:The sales document types represent the different business transactions, such as Inquiry, Quotation, Sales Order, etc. To create new sales order type, always copy as with reference to similar sales order. If possible use standard sales order.
2. Define Number Ranges For Sales Documents: Maintain number range with discussion with core team.
3. Assign Sales Area To Sales Document Types:
A. Combine sales organizations / Combine distribution channels / Combine divisions: Ensure to maintain these, else Sales Order creation will give error.
B. Assign sales order types permitted for sales areas: Assign only required Sales Order Types to required Sales Area. This will minimize selection of Sales Order Type as per sales area.
Sales Document Item:
1. Define Item Categories: If possible use Standard Item Category. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Assign Item Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving item category: Sales Document Type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category = Item Category
Schedule Line:
1. Define Schedule Line Categories: If possible use Standard Schedule Lines. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Assign Schedule Line Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving Schedule Line: Item Category + MRP Type / No MRP Type.
Step 2:
IMG > Logistic Execution > Shipping > Deliveries >
1. Define Delivery Types: If possible use Standard Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Define Item Categories for Deliveries: If possible use Standard Item Categories for Delivery Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
3. Define Number Ranges for Deliveries: Ensure to maintain number range.
Step 3:
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Billing >
1. Define Billing Types: If possible use Standard Billing Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Define Number Range For Billing Documents: Ensure to maintain number range.
3. Maintain Copying Control For Billing Documents: Maintain relevant copy controls such as Sales Order to Billing, Deliver to Billing, etc.
Note: Ensure that Copy Control settings are done
Sales Order to Sales Order (QT --> OR): VTAA
Sales Order to Delivery (OR --> LF): VTLA
Sales Order to Billing (OR --> F1): VTFA
Delivery to Billing(LF --> F2): VTFL
Billing to Sales Order (F2 --> RE): VTAF
The configuration differs from scenario to scenario & requirement of the client.

How do I make Microsoft Office my default for opening documents?

Is there a way to have all word documents and pages documents only open up in word?
As well as excel documents?
Some of my documents open in word and others open in pages by default. I want them all to be the same, and to only open in Microsoft Office programs.
I have the new imac with OSX 10.9
Thanks!

Microsoft Office can't open documents saved in the native Pages format. For compatible document types, select one of them in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, click on Open With, select the desired application, and press the Change All button.

Jquery for sharepoint document library form to filter dropdown/lookup field

I have created a document library to update status of a ongoing process. I have created a lookup column "status" with options
Initiated,
Reivew-in Progress,
Review-Denied,
Review-Approved,
Verification-In progress,
Verification-Denied,
Verification-Approved.
The demand from the client is they want to see - 'Initiated'in the form while adding a new document,other options should be hidden/disabled.
The next time when they edit the form,they want to see just :
Reivew-in Progress,
Review-Denied,
Review-Approved.
Other options should be hidden/disabled.
On the next step they want to see
Verification-In progress,
Verification-Denied,
Verification-Approved.
other options should be hidden/disabled.
I have worked with cascade drop down but i have no idea how to filter a single dropdwn/lookup field.Is there any way to implement this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Slionel,
Based on you description, my understanding is that you want to show certain fields on NewForm.aspx and hide/ disable other fields and in EditForm.aspx you need to show or hide/disable certain fields based on condition. I would say you can use JSOM to implement
your requirement in NewForm.aspx and EditForm.aspx
based on the condition and requirement, it will be simple and straight forward.
Thanks

Thanks,

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to show the SharePoint document library in GridView.
You need to get hold of the SPFile object, which is a property of a ListItem item, and get the ServerRelativeUrl property. Then you need to add code to an <a> tag .
Here is a similar thread for your reference:
