Metadata/Custom Columns + SkyDrive Pro

Hi
I am trying to Synchronise documents across devices from SharePoint Online using SkyDrive Pro.
Is it possible to Sync libraries that have Custom Columns?  In particular lookup columns?  I have tried doing it on a Document library with one lookup column and it wouldn't work!  Is it possible to go a step further and edit the data in these
columns from SkyDrive Pro?
Thanks

Hi GuyJos,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to sync a library from SharePoint 2013 Online using SkyDrive Pro with custom cloumns.
I did a test, and found we could sync the systematical columns , and we could find them by right-clicking Name at the top of all documents, and selecting ‘More…’. However, it seems to be not a way to find the custom columns and edit them. It may be caused
by SkyDrive Pro limitation.
As I am not an expert for SharePoint Online, you can create a new thread in SharePoint Online forum, more experts will assist you with this issue.

  • Alternate of Skydrive pro for offline capability in sharepoint 2013.

    Hi Everyone,
    I have been working on offline solution for sharepoint 2013. The volume of data in sharepoint is huge(like 2 TB). Almost every user will have access to more than 25000 documents. Initially I picked Skydrive Pro client(which comes with office 2013) as a tool
    but later got to know the limitations of it.
    As this link
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn232145.aspx#section3 says.
    The SkyDrive Pro Windows Sync client limits the total number of items that you may synchronize with a document library. The following limits are the synchronization limits of the SkyDrive
    Pro Windows Sync client:
    You can synchronize up to a maximum of 20,000 items in your SkyDrive Pro document library, which includes folders and files.
    You can sync up to a maximum of 5,000 items in other document libraries, which includes folders and files.
    In any library, you can download files up to a maximum file size of 2 GB.
     Note:
    The above limits are not configurable.
    Which is a major setback for me. I have tried to found one tool called colligo breifcase for windows http://www.colligo.com/colligo-briefcase-for-windows-feature-matrix/.
    Is there any other 3rd party tool or code in codeplex to overcome these limitations?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Converting Custom Columns on Mulitlingual

    Hi,
    I have used variation in SharePpint 2013 for Multilingual, Created two different languages default in English and other one in French
    Created a list on Englsih site, used to translate the same to (French) other language, list  is getting created but list name and library custom columns are not getting translated  to target language.
    Please suggest is there any procedure to do, with out Human translation.
    Thanks in advance
    Suman

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to convert Custom Columns on Mulitlingual.
    Per my knoweadge, Language packs provide language-specific translation of user interface elements such as the following:
    Site administration pages
    Ribbon elements
    List and site column headers
    Site settings interface
    Templates for new lists, document libraries, and sites
    Managed metadata term sets and terms
    Language packs provide translation only of the user interface. They do not translate content that is created and shown in content pages or Web Parts.
    To translate the custom column automaticlly, we need to modify the resource files.
    Form more information, you can refer to:
    Plan for multilingual sites in SharePoint 2013

  • Exporting to InCopy is resetting custom columns

    When exporting selected text frames to InCopy, my 3 custom columns on the master page are resetting to even widths. I have to then manually re-adjust the column widths then re-apply the masters to all pages in the doc every time I do any InCopy exporting. This has only occurred since upgrading to InDesign CS6.

    In SharePoint Document Library, first the document will be uploaded and then the metadata will be updated. So, in your workflow settings, select start workflow when item is changed instead of item is created and then try.

  • Implementing BADI MD_ADD_COL_EZPS for MD04 custom column

    Hi there,
    I'm using BADI MD_ADD_COL_EZPS to display 3 new buttons and three new columns in MD04.
    For each line item that is displayed, the custom column is filled, after the button is hit -This works fine.
    My Question is:
    Is there any way to limit the value that is filled into the new column so that it only appears on the FIRST line item/row?
    (At the moment it is repeated all the way down the page - the new value is a material characteristic, so doesn't change, will always be the same for each line)
    I've looked at all the available structures/tables in the FILL_ADD_COLUMNS method of the BADI, and none seem suitable
    to determine the "first" row. (ie. something like the way SY-TABIX or SY-INDEX might be used)
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,
    David.

    Hi Shubhendu,
    in the method 'ACTIVATE_ADD_COLUMNS', you can set the flag EZ1_MODE to '1' to make the first column visible always. (it's been a while, but I think setting it to '2' makes it visible when the button is pressed.)
    Same applies to EZ2_MODE for second column, EZ3_MODE for third.
    look at the flags/parameters in this method, and also in FILL_ADD_COLUMNS, to fill the data.
    here you need to fill structure EMDEZX_USEX1 (for column 1) etc.
    The code is hit for each record displayed in MD04
    Hopefully this helps you.
    Regards,
    David

  • LOV of column names with a report's custom column headings?

    I have a list ov values definition that looks like this:
    select column_name d, column_name r from all_tab_columns where table_name = 'DATABASE_LIST'
    I'd like to list the custom column headings from a report as d, rather than repeating the column_name. How can I do this?

    As Anton said, the best thing is to store your custom headings in a table so that you can use the table for your LOV as well as for your report headings.
    To use dynamic report headings, you can use the 'PL/SQL function body returning colon-delimited headings' feature on the Report Attributes page.
    So, if your report headings are stored in table t that function body can be
    declare
    l_headings varchar2(4000)
    begin
    for rec in (select heading from t) loop
       l_headings := l_headings||':'||rec.heading;
    end loop;
    return ltrim(l_heading,':');
    end;Hope this helps.

  • F-53 and F-28, Customized columns for cash discount and %

    Hi Expert,
    With reference to the subject of: Customized columns for cash discount and % ...
    I faced the problem of not able to set / defined hidden column for cash discount and % by creating a new variant.
    Steps:
    Create a variant
    Click <administrator> button ... mark the columns hidden, and click <activate> button
    Then click <Save> button
    Problem: Every time I using the F-53/F-28, the layout is not working, and when goto check the variant settings, the cash discount and % columns remained unchecked.
    SAP version: 4.6
    Kindly advise.
    Thanks and regards,
    sbmel

    Hi JP,
    It is not working using field status group, as I am using F-53 and F-28 and not FB50/60/70.
    The purpose I want to create variant for screen after clicking <process open item> is to control column display (hide cash discount and %).  if the variant is working, I can create a customized Tcode for the F-53 and F-28.
    Now problem is that variant seem not working.
    Thanks and regards,
    sbmel

  • On-premise SharePoint 2013 and SkyDrive Pro Sync Issue

    Hi all,
    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum between SharePoint and SkyDrive as the issue is related to an update on SkyDrive Pro.
    premise SharePoint 2013 installation (migrated from 2010) and Office 2013 installed. SharePoint is patched up to the latest CU. Syncing documents from SharePoint worked fine until KB2817495 was installed. The syncing still seems to work but we cannot add
    any new libraries, either directly from the browser using the "sync" button or adding the URL to "Sync a new library". I've tested it with an Office 365 account and the libraries add fine so I'm not sure whether it's a SkyDrive or SharePoint
    issue. If I uninstall the update then I can successfully sync new libraries from our on-premise installation.
    At this point the only solution I can see is to prevent that update from installing via WSUS.
    Kind regards,
    Rick

    Hi
    anuxps ,
    Yammer already have Single Sign On with Office 365, but SharePoint Server for on-premise does not follow a 90-day release cycle and it won’t yet. Also we are looking for Yammer integration with on-premise
     soon. There are improvements coming.

  • Is there an app for SkyDrive Pro

    I would like to access my skydrive Pro account using an app instead of going to my office 365 account and then going to skydrive. I was hoping the app would let me drop files to it.
    Is there an app and or instructions on using skydrive Pro on an iPad/iPhone
    Thanks!!!

    According to Paul Thurrott, a Skydrive Pro app for iPhone/iPad is coming. http://winsupersite.com/office-2013/office-365-skydrive-pro

  • Is there an easy view of assigned Retention Tags in main view of Messages, e.g. a custom column?

    Hi,
    I have a requiement to have an easy/overall view of assigned Retention Policy tags against a list of messages in outlook 2010.
    I envisage that if there was a column in the main message list view, that showed the assigned tag against each message and that could be sorted, e.g. so I can see what has an assigned tag (and what it is) and what doesn't, this would hit the mark perfectly.
    Any such capability?
    Can I create a custom column that extracts a message property to do this?
    If so, how?
    Thanks! David.

    Hi Greg,
    Sorry it's been a couple of days, it's been busy.
    Unfortunately not. I raised it with our devs to take a look at. I was initially after an assessment of effort. But they were quoting me a number of days effort just to get to the point of being able to tell me how long it would take. At that point I
    pulled it, as it wasn't a must-have requirement.
    Still, it would have been nice.
    To extract such a property, I might imagine an Outlook plug-in to extract the data from the property and watchers to look out for changes in various circumstances. In this way if you can get the data into a new Custom Message Property, a Column
    will readily display it. It feels a little over-engineered and duplicates the data just to get it into a place to show it.
    Maybe there are easier ways. But no, I didn't make progress.
    All the best. Ta, /David.

  • Custom column added is not available for Calendar list view in SharePoint 2010

    I created a custome column "Breakline" in a custom content type 'SM event", and applied the content type to a Calendar.
    The column is listed under the content type "SM event" but it is not listed when I tried to modify the view using the "Breakline" column.
    Does anyone know why?

    I set "Breakline" hidden because I don't want to show this in create new item form. 
    I realized that may be the reason. So changed the column to Optional in CT and created a new calendar using that CT. then at list level CT I changed it to Hidden.  That works.   The column is available for use when modifying view.
    Thanks

  • Custom column in a list view web part for a multilingual site does not take on custom language labels. Stays in default language.

    Hello all,
    I have what so far appears to be a fairly unique problem.  We are running a multilingual SharePoint 2010 environment with English as the default language and French as the secondary.  We have setup the sites in a variance relationship, but the
    issue I am discussing happens outside of a variant as well.
    We have created a library outside the variant (but within the collection) that the two sites must share.  A list view web part was created via Designer to add to each site to provide a quick view into the list.  If we are in the libary and switch
    to French, then update the column label it will remember the setting (because of the resource file) and maintain it as the language is flipped back and forth.  Where it doesn't work is as a web part in a variant or where the language is different.
    If the language is different, the out of the box columns work find, but the custom columns (all site columns not library\list columns) remain as the english label.  It doesn't matter if within a variant or outside with the browser language changed. 
    It always reverts back to English.  It's like it isn't using the same resource file that was used in the list itself.
    I created a custom view and modified it with xslt as per
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/50004/how-to-change-column-title-for-a-view-but-not-modify-the-list but this only worked within the list and did not occur in the list view either.
    I can't be the first that has come across it, either I am not performing my searches properly, no one has ever documented a fix for this or this is something we just can't fix with OOTB tools.  That's the other thing, the solution has to be accomplised
    OOTB or with minor client side changes.  I can't fire up Visual Studio because they are piloting Office 365 and have put a "No custom code" mandate on for migration.
    Thank you all in advance.

    Ok, I have come up with a solution.  I edited the XSLT for the web part on the page.  I did the following:
    1.    Create the variants in the Site Ccollection
    2.    Create the library outside of the variants.
    3.    Add all the columns you require for the library.  It is very important all the columns are there before you move on.
    4.    Create a French and English view.
    5.    Create the list view web part via designer.
    6.    Add the list view web part to each site selecting the appropriate view to use.
    7.      Edit the page in SharePoint Designer 2010.
    8.      Place cursor in the column you wish to modify.
    9.      Click Design in the List View Tools on the ribbon.  
    10.     Then click Customize XSLT and select Customize Item.  Select this option otherwise you will generate a **LOT** of unnecessary XSL code.
    11.     You are looking for a piece that resembles the following:
            <xsl:with-param name="fieldtitle">
              <xsl:value-of select="@DisplayName"/>
            </xsl:with-param>
    12.      Modify it by typing in the actual column name you want.  You should end up with something like this:
            <xsl:with-param name="fieldtitle">
              New Column Name.
            </xsl:with-param>
    13.      Now, for this page only, the column will be renamed.
    There are some caveats:
    1.    Doesn’t appear to work in a publishing portal.  I think this has to do with how SP stores the pages in this case.  In a publishing portal you can only modify the page layout which won’t work as we need to modify the content.
    2.    If you add another column, you will need to repeat the XSLT modification
    Anyways, I hope this helps out any others with the same issue or need as I had.

  • Custom column in List view

    Dear guru's,
    I'd like to ask you if its possible to add custom column in list view. For example in tc. FBL1N I'd like to add a column with custom text (for example with value "1" for counting the sum of rows). Is it possible to do without creating custom program?
    Thank you all.
    Regards.
    Michael.

    Hi Michael,
    It's not possible to add some extra text in standard out-put without modifying it or creating custom program.
    For adding a column in your list view. I think this write statement will help you
    WRITE 'You can overwrite the following line:'.
    FORMAT INPUT ON INTENSIFIED OFF.
    WRITE 'WRITE HERE'.
    FORMAT INPUT OFF INTENSIFIED ON.
