Multiple SharePoint 2010 Survey Questions

Hi All
Apologies if this has been answered and solved somewhere else, but I have probably spent 4 days looking through the web for answers.
We have a SharePoint survey with multiple page breaks and branching. Here are the issues we need solutions for, please let me know if I need to add them as separate questions:
We need to change the "Specify your own value:" field to say "Other:" instead. I've read and tried the article from iedaddy
http://iedaddy.com/2012/05/sharepoint-2010-change-survey-option-specify-your-own-value-to-other/ multiple times, but I'm having no luck in getting it to work.
We also need to limit the number of checkboxes that can be selected to 3 in a multiple answers can be selected section. I've read the article on doing this
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2770077/using-javascript-to-limit-survey-choices-to-three-unique-values but that doesn't work and looks like it might only be for 2007, even though some of the commenters said it worked on 2010.
Then we need to be able to export an individual's response to either a PDF or word format or be able to print it straight from the page. When right clicking and printing on the page it has the sides cut off. Someone suggested removing the "nowrap"
tag, but I'm unsure that will solve it and I'm not sure how to do that in SPD.
I also need to redirect the user to a "Thank you" page once they click finish. I've found a solution that works for a one pager, but since we use page breaks, this does not work.
I have access to SDP and limited knowledge of coding, but am willing to try.
Please accept my apologies if there are solutions for these, but I have not been able to locate any that worked for me on the web.
Thank you!

Hi, for your first problem I faced it sometime back and though not the sturdiest solution, it did function for me since I did not have very many "Specify your own values" to change.

Looking at your other requirements, I am reminded of my own when I started off with the OOTB SharePoint survey and realized that it is very cumbersome to customize it because it will need you to meddle with the MasterPage and you don't want to take a risk
in Prod environment. I would suggest you to look into other options like InfoPath. InfoPath gives you a much easier platform to design and customize surveys. Page breaks are very easy to design. You can also implement your own code for PDF and publish it as
an admin template. I can promise you that the surveys come out much prettier.

SharePoint 2010 Survey Branching....multiple

I am developing a SharePoint Survey that contains 10 questions.
The fifth question can have 5 possible choices to select......based upon the users selection, it will then "branch" to another question.....the problem is for that question the user will choose from a list of about 700 possible selections. After
that selection, the survey is complete.
Is there any easy way to end the Survey after that last selection?
Here is an example: Q1...WHAT GROUP ARE YOU IN? CHOICES: A /B/C/D/E
based upon their selection, they will be taken to another question in which they will have hundreds of possible selections: Q2 - Q6...WHAT IS YOUR ID #?......CHOICES: 1,2,3,4.......698, 699, 700 (if they choose A....they have a pool
of 700 possible choices, if they choose B, they have a choice of another pool of 700 possible choices.....and so on....)
After answering that question I want the survey to end.....which I would accomplish by having a final YES/NO question.....the problem is that I seem to have to select that "branching" for the 1,000+ middle question answers. That's alot of "drop-downs"
to select.
If there any easy / quick way to do this?

The choice of 700, is that a Choice list (dropdown)? After picking one of those are they branched to 700 different questions?

SharePoint 2010 survey: Add additional text boxes beside choices/checkboxes?

I have a survey question which requires the user to list certain items beside each choice provided by the question.
For eg:
What are your favorite things? List names against each category
Name [Textbox]
Place [Textbox]
Animal [Textbox]
Color [Textbox]
And the answer would look something like:
Name [Wee, Woo, Mee, Moo]
Place [LA, Paris, Bombay]
Animal [Cat, dog]
Color [White,Black]
If anyone has any ideas to implement this or guide me to a related article or literature, that would be great!
Any help appreciated. Thanks

Hi Ritesh,
Try utilizing IE developer toolbar/ Firebug to locate the ID of the element "Specify your own value". Mine was something like this: ctl00_m_g_2c113611_bc41_4c82_94e9_a6e253aa8444_ctl00_ctl01_ctl01_ctl00_ctl00_ctl04_ctl00_ctl01
Then go to the NewForm.aspx or EditForm.aspx of your list , insert a CEWP below the ListFormwebPart. In the <content></content> tag of your CEWP add the following script:
<![CDATA[<script src="Fullpath/jquery-1.8.3.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("label[for='ctl00_m_g_2c113611_bc41_4c82_94e9_a6e253aa8444_ctl00_ctl01_ctl01_ctl00_ctl00_ctl04_ctl00_ctl01']").text("Please describe");
</script> ]]>
Save and done!
As I mentioned this is not the best way since you have to add multiple label ID's corresponding to every "Specify your own value" label that you want to change....

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to Add new rating scale title fields in SharePoint Survey.
I have done a test, it works fine. I have just added the function to load the code, refer to the following:
For NewForm.aspx; DispForm.aspx; EditForm.aspx
<script type="text/javascript">
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("ChangeTitle");
function ChangeTitle() {
var tables = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
for (var i = 0; i < tables.length; i++) {
if (tables[i].summary == 'Rating Scale Question') {
var trs = tables[i].getElementsByTagName('tr');
var tds = trs[0].getElementsByTagName('td');
tds[2].colSpan = 1;
tds[2].innerHTML = 'your range text';
tds[3].colSpan = 1;
tds[3].innerHTML = 'your range text';
tds[4].colSpan = 1;
tds[4].innerHTML = 'your range text';
tds[5].colSpan = 1;
tds[5].innerHTML = 'your range text';
</script>
For Summary.aspx
<script type="text/javascript">
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("ChangeTitle");
function ChangeTitle() {
var tables = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
for (var i=0; i<tables.length; i++)
if (tables[i].summary == 'Rating Scale Question')
var trs = tables[i].getElementsByTagName('tr');
var tds = trs[0].getElementsByTagName('td');
tds[2].colSpan = 1;
tds[2].innerHTML = 'your range text';
tds[3].colSpan = 1;
tds[3].innerHTML = your range text';
tds[4].colSpan = 1;
tds[4].innerHTML = your range text';
tds[5].colSpan = 1;
tds[5].innerHTML = your range text';
< /script>
For Summary.aspx
< script type="text/javascript">
var tables = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
for (var i=0; i<tables.length; i++)
if (tables[i].className == 'ms-surveyVBarT')
tables[i].deleteRow(0);
var row = tables[i].insertRow(0);
var cell0 = row.insertCell(0);
var cell1 = row.insertCell(1);
var cell2 = row.insertCell(2);
var cell3 = row.insertCell(3);
cell0.innerHTML = your range text';
cell1.innerHTML = your range text';
cell2.innerHTML = your range text';
cell3.innerHTML = your range text';
</script>

Unable to export all columns from sharepoint 2010 survey

Have a user that cannot export all columns from a sharepoint survey. When exported, he only gets 3 columns. We've tried a number of things, including exporting from the overview view. We've also made sure that readers had full edit rights, etc. Just for
background, this survey does contain branching logic. Any ideas?

I have had
exactly the same problem before.
There's already a ton of suggestions on these blogs, and I suspect there is a bug somewhere.
As I'm lucky to have Reporting Services in SharePoint mode, I've been using it to export Survey data, pre-process it, and export it to Excel or PDF.

Multiple SharePoint 2010 list items edited simultaneously in InfoPath 2010?

I am looking to distribute a list of accounts to salespeople, so they can update some of the fields for their own accounts and save the changes back to SharePoint. We are currently sending them Excel workbooks, but this isn't ideal. Since the requirements
include drop-down choices, conditional formatting, and data validation, I'm wondering if InfoPath can be utilized so that a salesperson can filter the list by their name and see (only) all of their own accounts (records/rows/list items) at once in InfoPath,
then make multiple changes to different fields (columns) for their accounts, and finally submit the form--saving multiple edited records simultaneously. Think Datasheet View, but with conditional formatting and data validation. Is this
possible in any application?

Hi ired25,
Few point to mention here.
InfoPath form will be linked with each SharePoint List item
user can change/update their own record using Datasheet view(validation will be applied for sure if it configured as formula)
you can think to use edit form InfoPath form to leverage infopath's powerful rule engine, which might delayed user's productivity but very safe for data.
I dont think a InfoPath for can handle multiple item in one single form.
For permission you can think of "Item level permission" from list settings => Advance settings
As a thought "Content approval" can be used for data sanity.
Hope this will help

Hi,
As Paul said, I suggest you develop your SharePoint project using visual studio 2010 for SharePoint 2010.
If you want to use this project in SharePoint 2013, we need convert it to the SharePoint 2013 project, the following articles for your reference:

Uploading Multiple Documents To a List Item sharepoint 2010

hi Guys ,
Is there a way we can enable (out of the box )Uploading Multiple Documents To a List Item sharepoint 2010 ?
cheers

No, There is no OOB way to do the same you have to build a custom Page/Control OR customise OOB Form to attache multiple files and that will be through integration of ajax based control (multiple file uploader.)
the other way to do the same is provision a custom field. we have done this for our many clients.
Hi, I also encountered the same problem, could u pls provide detailed information by a custom field?

How to enable multiple check-out and check-in for offline editing (sharepoint 2010)

I have a SharePoint site where I am using check-in check out feature for one of 'Project' document library.
By default SharePoint supports single document to be checkout for offline editing (when i click on checkout, SP ask for 'Use local draft option' for offline editing), if I select that check box, it take a local copy for offline editing in my 'SharePoint
Draft' folder.
but when I try to check-out multiple files from 'Project' document library, it does not show any form for confirmation, as shown above (use 'Local draft option') and files get checked out on server it self, but I didn't find any local copy in 'SharePoint
Draft' folder. mean sharepoint does not support multiple file check-out feature for offline editing.
Please suggest if we can check out multiple files for offline editing in sharepoint 2010.
Thanks

Sagar, Thanks for reply, but none of the link is useful.
These all links talk about the check-in check-out feature, but my issue is that, when I do select multiple files for checkout Draft’s dialog
box does not appear and offline copy of files is does not created. how to fix that issue.

Question regarding the powershell creation of service applications in SharePoint 2010/2013

Hi
I create all my service applications in SharePoint 2010/2013 using Powershell.
Is there a "best practice" when to start the service Instance for a service application? Is it better to start the service instance prior to creating a service application or after the service application has been create?
I'm curious.
best regards
Bjorn

Not that i'm aware of. If it works then go for it.
I would tend to build the service application and only then activate the instances on servers, however that is going to depend heavily on the application in question. The real heavyweights like Search are a special case in any event.

Help Required - Upload Multiple Documents functionality sometimes disappears in SharePoint 2010

Hi All,
We have a web application created in SharePoint 2010 & there we were facing an issue of not able to Upload multiple documents. After doing search on google, we have found that
pre-requisites for this functionality to be working properly are as follows:
Client Integration needs to be enabled for the web application.
The STSUpld.UploadCtl IE add-in must be enabled. (located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12)
The 32 bit version of Internet Explorer. The 64 bit version does not support it and neither do other, non IE, browsers.
Office 2003 or newer on the client.
After meeting all the above requirements, We are now able to see the Upload Multiple Documents link but we are failing in below 2 scenarios:
On some machines it is working fine & on some it is not.
On some machines, this option is available for sometime & sometimes it disappears.
If any one of you have experienced the same problem, then please help us with your valuable suggestions & possible solution for it.

Hi Manish,
We've just been experiencing your initial issue with Office 2007 clients not being able to use the multi-file upload functionality. Sure enough....turning on presence information in Central Admin fixes the issue. The strange thing is though that
when presence is turned off, Office 2003 and 2010 clients still work fine and it's only 2007 clients that fail. Also this issue appeared to only exist for us inside applications that have been upgraded from MOSS2007 to SP2010. Any new applications
of even new site collections within an upgraded application worked fine across all 3 Office versions.
Coincidently, we're also experiencing the more recent issue you've come across with files not uploading after clicking OK in the ActiveX. Nothing happens. Office 2010 clients work fine but 2003 and 2007 clients just don't upload the selected
files. We've found a workaround which "fixes" the issue but brings it's own set of problems so it's not ideal. Here's what we've done...
1. Open IIS, and navigate to the web where you want to use multi-file upload
2. Select Handler Mappings and Add Script Map
3. Set Request Path - shtml.dll
4. Set Executable - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\ISAPI\SHTML.dll
5. Set the name to something meaningful - Multi File Upload
6. Leave the Request Restrictions as default
This should fix the issue with files not uploading but unfortunately it also prevents SharePoint Designer from accessing the site. For the application where we desperately need multi-file upload we can manage without SPD access so it's not the end
of the world but not ideal. We've actually got an outstanding incident logged with Microsoft to resolve this issue but they've yet to find a solution for us. We suggested to MS that we update authentication to Kerberos from NTLM and retry as we
seem to be getting 401 errors in the call stack so thought that could be related. We've not yet configured Kerberos so I'm not sure whether this is a solution or not.
One other point worth mentioning is that SharePoint Designer 2010 (which is free) installs the latest version (14) of the Upload ActiveX and with this installed the uploads work as expected. Also if you have Silverlight and SPD2010 installed then you
get a Silverlight control to do the upload which also works fine. Again, not ideal as rolling out SPD 2010 to affected clients isn't really a suitable solution.
Sorry I can't be any more help. Hopefully my findings might point you in the right direction. If you do find a solution (other than the IIS handler mapping) then please re-post here,
Good luck,
Ben

Rich text toolbar missing on a survey list in Sharepoint 2010

Hi ,
I created a Survey list in SP 2010 and added a 'Content Editor' webpart to it. The problem is that there is
no Ribbon available in the Survey List in SP 2010. (While it is available in the a normal list) Why? Is it the default functionality of Sharepoint 2010?
How can I add a rich text toolbar so that while editing the content webpart I can format the text. Is it possible?

Hi Yasir,
This behavior is by design. When you add a content editor web part on survey list page, you can only add the plain text.
Have a try to add a rich text control
InputFormTextBox to the overview.aspx page in SharePoint Designer, add the following code to code behind.
<SharePoint:InputFormTextBoxRows="10"MaxLength="1000"id="txtMyRichTextBox"runat="server"RichText="true"RichTextMode="FullHtml"TextMode="MultiLine"
Height="400px"Width="250px"></SharePoint:InputFormTextBox>
