Merging List Items with Word Template

Hello,
I'm running SharePoint 2013, SharePoint Designer 2013 and the latest versions of Word and Windows. I'm not a programmer of any sorts.
I want to run a workflow, triggered by the addition of a new list item. The workflow needs to take the new list item data and merge it with a Word document I'm using as a template. The document them needs to be stored in a library.
There are a few posts about this but none seem to work with SP 2013 and SPD 2013. Here is one example which appears to work using SP 2010 workflows but I can't get it to work with SP 2013.
http://www.quercussolutions.com/blog/index.php/out-of-the-box-document-generation-in-sharepoint-2/
I want to use SharePoint rather than a third party addin.
I'd appreciate any assistance.

Hi,
As I understand, you would like to create word document based on SharePoint list columns, then save it to SharePoint library. We could use workflow to automate the process.
Here is an article you could refer for detail steps:

How to create list items with multiple attachment files using rest api javascript

In one of user form I am using javascript rest api to create a list item with multiple attachment files. So far I am able to create list item and once created uploading an attachment file. But this is two step process first create an item and then upload
a file.
It create an additional version of the item which is not desired. Also I am not able find a way to attach multiple files in a go. Following is the code I am using.
createitem.executeAsync({
url: "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('UserForm')/items(1)/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='" + aFile.name + "')",
method: "POST",
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
binaryStringRequestBody: true,
body: fileContent,
success: fnsuccess,
error: fnerror
So somehow I need to combine item attributes along with attachment files in body: param. I visited https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn531433.aspx#bk_ListItem but no success.
Appreciate any help.

Thanks Mahesh for the reply and post you share it was useful.
But this does not solve the core of the issue. You are uploading attachments after creation of item and multiple files are being attached in loop. This is kind of iterative update to an existing item with attachments. This will end up creating multiple versions.
What I am trying to achieve is to create an item along with multiple attachments in a go. No item updates further to attach a file.
Please suggest how this can be done in one go. SharePoint does it when one creates an item with multiple attachment.
Thanks for your reply.

SharePoint Designer 2013 (2010 Platform Workflow) - How can I create a new list item with a SPECIFIC content type?

In SharePoint 2010 I created workflows that used the 'Create list Item' Action, which then set the Content Type ID (so I could create documents of various types in a document library).
We just switched to the SharePoint 2013 platform, and now the drop down for Content Type ID is blank in all of the workflows that are still using the SharePoint 2010 platform. Is there any way to create a list item with specific content
type? Even if I could just input a string into that field instead of using this blank drop-down. Please help!

Hi Sarah,
According to your description, my understanding is that you cannot create a new list item with a specific content type using SharePoint 2010 Platform Workflow.
I tested the same scenario in my environment, and the Create List Item worked fine with the specific content type.
How did you create the content type?
Please check if the content type is added to the list/library the workflow associated with.
Best regards.
Thanks

Customising a SharePoint list content type form - "Manage multiple list items with this form"

I have designed a form for a content type on an existing SharePoint list. When I ran the initial wizard, I selected
Manage multiple list items with this form which is great, exactly what I want.
But, there are some columns in this content type that I do not want repeating and have them moved them outside of the Repeating Section but I am getting the below error. I can't seem to find a way to create a new non-repeating group though. Any
advice on how to do this?

Populate list Item with a recordgroup?

Hi Friend
I want to populate a list Item with a "Recordgroup". Does it possible without using the add_eliment function?
I did it through the Loop to read the item from record group. If the database changes the record does not change in my list item. because the list containing the added items which was delivered in the load time. But like Pressing F9, we can easily see the last changed data of the database.
If possible please send me the detail code to me. Here I delivered the detail procedure which i did for that purpose.

Hi Farhad,
You can make use of Populate_List built-in.
Populate_List(list_id, 'RECGRP');
You can find more information in online documentation of forms.

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.
Thanks

Deleting a List Item with Very Huge Amount of Versions

A faulty workflow flooded list items with 50K+ versions on SharePoint List. Attempts to open the list item/delete/edit via SharePoint UI/PowerShell failed! Programmatic iterations to delete versions/items trys to consume complete server memory and
fails.
Deleting the complete list is successful, but that results in SharePoint timer jobs fail and places Lots of Block in the database, which stops SharePoint sites from loading.
Any help please?

SP 2010 and 2013 support a max of 50,000 versions. Accessing more than 5000 items at a time causes SQL Server to escalate from row locks to table locks, which will generally bring SharePoint to a stop. You will need to write code that can bring back subsets
of the data, and the only approach I can think of is a CAML query. But, I can't find any examples of working with versions using CAML.
You could just change the Throttling settings in Central Admin from the default of 5000 to 50000 and then run your code during off hours.

Selected list items to Word document

I found online many posts to generate a word document with all items included in a list.
But is is possible to have the generation triggered by the user and to include only a subset of the list items?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to generate a word document with selected list items in your SharePoint 2010.
You should look into the Word Control Toolkit, which uses the Open XML format SDK to achieve what you require.
The basic functionality is that you use the Edit Control Block on a selected list item to generate and populate a Word document using a template you can select from a drop-down list.
Here's some links to get you started:

Uploading multiple documents into sharepoint list item with REST in sharepoint 2013 using content editor web part :

hi ,
i am trying to upload multiple document files into sharepoint list item. I followed below link for implementaion.
http://techfindings-prem.blogspot.in/search/label/jquery.multifilejs
It was working for sharepoint hosted app.
This complete code is written within content edito web part.
It was working when i was in root site collection with below change (hard coded the root level url) in code in "UploadFile" function.
var scriptbase = "http://servername" + "/_layouts/15/";
console.log(' File size:' + bytes.length);
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
var createitem = new SP.RequestExecutor("http://servername");
createitem.executeAsync({
url: "http://servername/sites/cpg/" + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('SalesRecord')/items(" + attachmentitemid + ")/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='"
+ fileName + "')",
method: "POST",
binaryStringRequestBody: true,
body: binary,
success: fsucc,
error: ferr,
state: "Update"
function fsucc(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(data + ' uploaded successfully');
deferred.resolve(data);
function ferr(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(fileName + "not uploaded error");
deferred.reject(data);
But the issue came in picture when i was working with the other site collection instead of root one. The url was like below.
"http://servername/sites/cpg/". This time i need to be there within "cpg" site collection.
Now if i hard code the url as i did above my code gets break here while come to below line
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
I am getting error when i used below code:
var scriptbase = "http://servername" + "/_layouts/15/";
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
var createitem = new SP.RequestExecutor("http://servername");
createitem.executeAsync({
url: "http://servername/sites/cpg/" + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('SalesRecord')/items(" + attachmentitemid + ")/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='"
+ fileName + "')",
method: "POST",
binaryStringRequestBody: true,
body: binary,
success: fsucc,
error: ferr,
state: "Update"
function fsucc(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(data + ' uploaded successfully');
deferred.resolve(data);
function ferr(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(fileName + "not uploaded error");
deferred.reject(data);
Please hekp in this case. This complete code is written within content edito web part.

Sanjay Joshi

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue about upload multiple documents files into library vai REST API.
As you have said, you have used the hard code url in your code.
How about use the _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl method to get the url?
I have used this method to get the url, then use the code in the article you have pasted within a content editor web part to upload the files.
You can replace the hard code url with the _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl method, then check whether it works.
Thanks,

Problem with word Templates not working in the ICWebclient

Hello,
we run on crm5.0 and when i try to use the templates we connected to e.g. BP i get the error message "Unable to use chosen entry as Microsoft Word template" and the buttons stay inactive in the ICWeb.
In the ICWin those templates work fine. Is there some customizing missing?
I tried it with .dot, .doc and .txt files.

Dear Raymond,
I tried debugging the FM but it is not stopping at the perform you mentioned.
Then I opted for CALL FUNCTION 'LDB_CALL_LDB_PROCESS' starting new task v_task_id.
If I don't use "starting new task v_task_id" it gives dump at the following part of   'LDB_CALL_LDB_PROCESS' , stating Result table incompatible.
CALL FUNCTION 'LDB_CALLBACK'
         DESTINATION 'BACK'
         TABLES
              CALLBACK_TAB   = G_CALLBACK
              RESULTS        = RESULTS

But if I use CALL FUNCTION 'LDB_CALL_LDB_PROCESS' starting new task v_task_id then it does n't give me any results.
Kindly help.

I'm writing my thesis and my school uses a MS Word template... has anyone had experience with using Word templates in Pages? Will it be a nightmare or relatively easy -I don't want to spend hours and hours reformatting. Thanks for your feedback.

Pages should open the Word template although you might have to change the extension from .dot to .doc. But, as ffiti said, formatting is often off. But there are other options besides Office for Mac. TextEdit that comes with your Mac can open Word files & there are the Office clones such as LibreOffice or NeoOffice that are free.

Increase value of Select List Item with a Button

Hi all,
I've got an apex appli which is working well.
In one report page I use a select list with a LOV, but I want to "enhance" this functionality:
I need a kind of button which increments the item-value of the select list by 1,
so that the user can easily skip to the next value of the LOV without scrolling thru the select list.
Unfortunately I dont't get it working. Has anyone an idea how to realize that?
thanks in advance
Frank

Hello Frank,
Assuming your select list item is called P1_SELECT, you can define an HTML button, next to the item, that will do the trick.
In the Post Element Text field of P1_SELECT, you can have similar code to the following:
<input type="button" value="Next Value" onclick="$x('P1_SELECT').selectedIndex+=1;" />Hope this helps,
Arie.

SPD 2013 Workflow - Create list item with people picker in other site collection

Hi all,
I read a lot of blogs and forum posts the last couple of days, but I seem to be stuck as to why my workflow is not working as expected - thus, I thought I would ask the experts :-)
Setup:
2 lists in 2 different site collections
http://svr-url/servicedesk/tickets
http://svr-url/projects/requests
SharePoint 2013 on Prem
I try to create a SPD 2013 workflow that creates a new item in list "requests" once a certain trigger is set in list "tickets". One of the fields I need to copy is the requestor = People picker field.
I did a web service call with a REST call to create a list item. All works well as long as I just stick to Title and other text fields, but filling in the "Requestor" fails with "Bad request".
I learned I need to use the "RequestorID" field and in a blog I read I need to put in the user id as Int32. So I set the parameters in the dictionary to integer. Still I get "bad request".
Another issue: as I have lists from 2 site collections, the user id differs for the same user.
/servicedesk: ID = 9
/projects: ID = 22
Additionally, the possibility exists that the user I try to set is not already existent in the /projects user information list.
How can I deal with that?
