Need site url instead of computer name in link sent by email using sharepoint designer workflow

Hello,
We are sending email to view item of a document library using below syntax : [%Current Item:Created By%] on
[%Current
Item:Modified%].
When trying to click from inbox , it is displaying link :
http://servername/sites/site1/doclib/abc.xml where as site name has been given as
http://test.com
So we need to display as http://test.com/sites/doclib/abc.xml.
So if we migrate this site to another server with same name, so wont make any issue about workflow.
Please guide.
Thanking in advance.
Regards,
Jayashri

the built-in emails from SharePoint (alerts, etc) build the URL using the Default Zone in the webapp's AAMs... sounds like you just need to update the AAMs to the DNS names that you *want* to use.

How to send the folder url using SharePoint Designer WF??

Hi,
i am trying to send the folder url as a email link using SharePoint designer workflow. i already created the WF which is sending the item url attaching with email. is there anyway i can add folder url too, so that once user will click they can see all the
files in that folder?
Thanks

I think you've got a quote in the wrong place, but you're close.
Do a 'set workflow variable', and create a new one called whatever - this one was called link
Add that variable to your email:
Of course you can set your text to whatever you want. I use this technique to do formatting in email - you can create a pretty complex bit of html in a string variable and insert it into email - Outlook/Exchange will interpret.
And actually, I think there's another variable, maybe in the workflow context section, that would have your site address, so you wouldn't have to hardcode your https://xxxx.com .

Can we have approve/reject action button in email sent using SharePoint designer or do we need to custom code it?

Hello,
for particular item approval, when user receives an email, can email contain button of approve/reject or if user just replies to that mail using one word "Approve/Reject", so that item value should get updated in list and also get approved.
Is it possible using SharePoint designer workflow or custom code workflow or Nintex workflow?
Please guide.
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
Jayashri

Follow these steps:
You can create custom page with code to approve/reject item.
Then you should pass item id (and other information if needed) in a query string.
In a workflow you can generate a link to the created page and add it to email body.
When a user will receive email, he/she will click on the button (link), then new tab with created page will be opened, where your custom code will approve an item.

Terminal-IP address instead of computer name is showing

Hi, my computer is behaving strangely lately and I noticed that in terminal the host name is displayed like this:
c-XX-XXX-XX-XX-XXX:~ myusername%
with XX numbers corresponding to my actual IP address
When I looked in my 1 month old backup, it is displayed correctly there with an actual drive name.
In addition, the current shell is tsch, despite the fact that I am running OSX10.4.11 where it is supposed to be bash as far as I understand.
Is displaying IP address in terminal instead of computer name normal? If not, how to reset this?
Any help would be much appreciated.

BDAqua,
My report:
1. Moved preferences.plist from /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist into trash.
2. rebooted.
3. Computer now shows [localhost] in terminal as a host name-success. However, now Internet does not work.
4. Went to System preferences>Network>Built-in-Ethernet. There was a blank page (all settings gone).
5. No matter. Inputed comcast.net in Search domains field (Comcast is my provider). Clicked on Apply now. All settings came back, internet works.
6. Now Terminal again shows my IP as a host name, but at least I know that this change came from Comcast.
Unexpected benefit: Apparently this procedure got rid of annoying "Your settings are being modified by another application" bug-Good to know, thanks.
Conclusion: For some reason Comcast sees fit to modify Terminal settings.
Big thanks for making the problem clearer.

Hi,
I'm assuming you made your site as internet site (public facing).
In that case you might site desired output. If not you can think of replacing text
i.e SP2013 = hello.com

My 10 yr old wants to text from his iPod touch. We have 1 family Apple ID. How can I monitor his texts without receiving all of his friends messages? Do I need a separate Apple ID or can I link a new email address to the same Apple ID?

Web part created on a subsite for a sharepoint list in another site using sharepoint designer, to show only the subsite's reports. Connection dropping off and showing all the reports

I crated web parts in the sub-sites (we have about 10 subsites) using sharepoint designer from a main list in another site. Then used web part to show only the ubsite's reports - using connection to the main list. Problem is, the connection
is dropping off and showing all the reports on the main list that are confidential. this has happened 3 time lately. Could someone explain why it happens some times? I had to fix it by adding the web part again and connecting it
Thanks, Subathy.

Hi George,
If you want to use a top level site "department" list column in all sub-sites, you can go to top level site and create a
lookup type "Site column" to look up the value from the department list, then all sub-sites can use this lookup type site column created in top level site.

Can we customize any other expect SharePoint Sites using Sharepoint Designer

Hi All,
Can we customize any other expect SharePoint Sites using Sharepoint Designer?
Thanks in Advance!

As Hemmendra, the tool is specifically designed for SharePoint. Both this and another tool derive from an older utility called FrontPage, which was an early Web Authoring product, before the age of standards and the like.
The other product that evolved into a paid development tool but is now free is one called Expression Web. This can do more web specific stuff and may be of use for you. It was made a free product a year ago though and can be found here.

Get the root folder name once user will upload any files to subfolder with in this root folder using sharepoint designer WF??

Hi,
How to get the root folder name using sharepoint designer WF? i have a document library with root folders and subfolders. so i am trying to get the root specific root folder name attaching with email once user will
upload any files to subfolders within that root folder.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to get the root folder name in SharePoint Designer Workflow when there is file uploading.
The “Path” field of the current item holds the relative path of a file, as a workaround, you can retrieve the value of the “Path” as string, then split the string
value with a delimiter character of “/” to meet your requirement.
In SharePoint Designer 2010, there is no OOTB action to split the string. You can use the custom workflow actions below to achieve it.
Here is a link about the related actions I use in this scenario:

Settings of workflow as below:
It works well in my environment:

Sharepoint Cross-Site Content Rollup using Sharepoint Designer with Different Sites deployed in different ports

Hi
In Sharepoint Designer Cross Site Content Rollup is achieved using SOAP service in different site collections in Same domain (Same Port where site is deployed). Please provide the information that different sites in different
ports.
For Eg: Site A in one port (1000) and Site B in Another Port(2000). I want to access it from site A SP List in Site B using Sharepoint designer.

HI Krupesh,
You can call the web service or REST API to update the item in List B and List C in workflow.
Below mentioned links help in calling web service activity in workflow:

Solved using this:

The key was to enable the feature within site settings and to trust the Workflow in Site A via configuring the trust in Site B (Site B is basically stating "I trust the workflow in Site A"). It also required an App Step to be inserted.

Need Attribute Text instead of public name in Siebel

Hi Experts,
Is it possible in OPA to send across attribute text instead of public name / attributeName in the "SaveSession" inbound interface to Siebel application?
Thanks,
Vinay

Vinay,
Unforunately SaveSession only saves the attributes and their values. The text of an attribute cannot be saved.
If you really need the attribute text, you would probably have to use some custom code to do the following:
1. Create a text attribute (a2) that will hold the text of the attribute you want the text for (a1):
2. Create a event handler that sets the value of the text attribute (a2) to the text of the attribute (a1).
3. When save is called the text attribute (a2) will be saved to the session.
Its no a very elegant solution, but its the only way I can think of to do it.
Cheers
Frank
