New Document set-up

I am puzzled by a feature in InDesign CS2 version 4.0.5 that I have never seen before. I am using a Mac that is is another department at my workplace and when you are creating a new document in the File>New dialog box, this is what you get: Width, Height, Number of columns (all normal). But under the window to designate the number of columns, there is a window requiring the width of the columns. Where did that come from and how can I get rid of it? It is presenting major layout problems.

When you say "....but under the window to designate the number of columns, there is a window requiring the width of the columns", do you mean Text Frame Options? It has nothing to do with those columns you define in New Document window.
Those are two different ways to define columns. In New Document window (or Layout>Margins&Columns) you define columns to page, in Text Frame Options you define columns to text frame. There are no width value when you define columns for page. If you define columns for text frame, you can define width for columns if you like.

  • Creatiing new document in TextEdit and saving it to a folder

    I'm just starting with applescript. I would like to write a script that will open an e-mail, copy the contents to a new TextEdit or TexShop file, and save the new document to a particular folder. Ultimately the name of the new document should depend on the content of the e-mail, but for now I'd be happy to just be able to create a new TextEdit document and save it in a specified location with a specified name.
    I've tried a couple of things, including
    tell application "TextEdit"
    activate
    make new document
    set fileSpec to "Disk:Documents:Barbara:TestFile"
    save document 1 in fileSpec
    end tell
    which creates a new untitled document and brings up a dialog, which isn't what I want. I also tried something that involved "with properties {name:TestFile} but that didn't work either.
    I have Applescript the definitive guide and Applescript in a Nutshell but neither seems to describe this situation, although surely it's a common one.
    I'd be most grateful for any help.

  • SharePoint 2013 List & linked Document Set Project Help Needed

    I have struggling to find the best solution for a recent project. I'm sure someone will have a better suggestion than what I have come up with.
    Project Requests
    Project Tracking and Documents
    Status and other data
    Project Documents
    Offsite Syncing for active projects (SkyDrive Pro)
    Attempted Scenario
    1 List for Project Tracking
    1 Document Library for Project Documents (Document Set content type)
    I created a workflow to automatically create a new Document Set when an item was added to the list, then create a link to the Document set in a column called Documents. The goal with the document sets is to have them sent to another library (archive) when
    the project is marked complete. The reason is so that the user synching offline won't have so many document sets to sync or to browse through (there would easily be a few hundred within a couple of months)
    Is there a way to programmatically move the document set to an archive library when the list item status is set to complete?  And if the status were to change back to active, to move back to the active library. 
    Or maybe I am going about this the wrong way entirely?  All suggestions are greatly appreciated! 

    Hi,
    With Event Receiver, we can capture the ItemUpdated event of item of a list when the value of an item is updated, then perform the Document Set moving accordingly.
    Here is a step by step sample on creating a simple Item added event receiver for Custom List in SharePoint 2010:

  • Sharepoint Online Bug: Document Set does not synchronize empty fields

    If in the properties of document set the general field is empty, it will not be synchronized with internal files that has this general field. Ie, all files can have own values for the general field. If the value in document set (in properties) is not empty,
    the synchronization works fine. This issue was tested in different sites from different account in Office365.
    How to reproduce the problem:
    1. In Document Set (DocSet1) I have general field (Field1).
    2. When I create DocSet1 item in the list, Field1 is empty.
    3. In DocSet1 I create file Doc1, also with Field1.
    4. Field1 in Doc1 and DocSet1 has to be synchronized (because it's general).
    5. When I change Doc1 file, put some text (Text1) for Field1,
    the value remains as
    Text1, but in that time Field1 in DocSet1 is empty.
    6. Field1 wasn't synchronized, it has different values in DocSet1 properties and in internal file Doc1.
    7. I go to DocSet1 and change Field1 to Text2, now the field is synchronized
    8. Field1 in DocSet1 and Doc1 is Text2.
    Why does it happen?

    Hi  ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the updated Shared Column of   document item cannot synchronize with the Shared Column of the Document Set which is empty value.
    For reproduce your issue, I added two Shared Columns  “Description” and “E-Mail”  into my Document Set Content Type and added it to a document library . Then I created a new Document Set and left
     its two Shared Columns  “Description” and “E-Mail”  empty. When I created  a document item in the new document set and set values to the two Share Columns, the Description column was still empty but the “E-Mail” column was updated with
    new value.
    By default, if the Shared Column of  your Document Set  is empty, the Shared Column of the items in the document set should be empty and cannot be updated.
    For a good practice, I recommend  that you can set the value of Shared Columns in your document  set once your document set is created . For a workaround, you can hide Shared Column in the Edit
    Form. Here is the code you can refer to:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
    HideFieldByInternalName("Coach");
    HideFieldByInternalName("Duration");
    HideFieldByInternalName("Locations");
    function HideFieldByInternalName(internalName) {
    $(".ms-formbody").contents().filter(function() {
    var regExp = new RegExp(internalName, "i");
    // match comment node containing internal field name
    return ((this.nodeType == 8) && (this.data.match(regExp)));
    }).parent().closest("tr").hide();
    </script>

  • How to create a people picker type metadata in a document set?

    
    Hi folks,
    I want to create a people picker type metadata in a document
    set (it has some content types and it resides inside a library).
    So please help me knowing steps for creating it. 
    Our web application is using classic based authentication therefore I want to retrieve the names and groups in people picker column from Active Directory.
    Also, the document set library for which I want to create people picker metadata did not had document set before and documents where saved directly in content types as well as the metadata that now we are making as people picker was before of type Single line
    of text. 
    So, whether after creating it of type people picker, at the time of moving documents into document set, it will create problem? If yes,than of of what kind and how can it be resolved?
    Replies will be greatly appreciated.
    -Ishita

    Hi,
    From your description, I know you want to add a people picker column in a document set, then add this document set into a document library.
    If you want to add a people picker column in a document set you should create a document set first. You can know how to create and configure a document set by referring to this article: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-and-configure-a-new-Document-Set-content-type-9db6d6dc-c23a-4dcd-a359-3e4bbbc47fc1.
    After creating a document set, you can follow these steps below to add a people picker column in a document set: click Site Actions -> Site Settings -> under  Galleries section, Site content types -> find the content you want to add people
    picker column -> under Columns section, Add from new site column -> Name and Type, enter your column name and choice Person or Group -> OK.
    If you move documents into document set, it will keep the current properties. You can edit properties to change the document to another content type which is  contained in the document set.
    In my case, DocA is the content type of the document library, Document and DocB are content types of the document set.
    If I have mis-understand, please let me know.

  • Document Set shared columns not propagated to documents newly added

    I have a Document Set with shared Managed Metadata and Person fields.
    I have found that sometimes some managed metadata fields are not propagated to newly added documents using drag and drop with Windows Explorer.
    [ Note : Sharepoint 2013 with SP1 ]
    Example
    Field A = Person or group (optional)
    Field B = Managed Metadata (optional)
    Step 1 :
    I create a new Document Set (lets call this one docset X), with field A empty and field B with a value.
    I save this docset then open the document library in Windows Explorer and finaly, drag and drop a document inside the folder of this newly created docset.
    When I look at the properties of the document, I found that there is no value in the field B even if it's not the case of the docset.
    Step 2 :
    I create another Document Set (lets call this one docset Z), and add a value inside field A and field B.
    Again, I save this docset then open the document library in Windows Explorer and finaly, drag and drop a document inside the folder of this newly created docset.
    When I look at the properties of the document, I found that there is a value in the field B and in the field A.
    Conclusion
    So it seems that the propagation of field B depends on if there is a value inside field A.
    It does not make sense.
    Any ideas ?

    Hi vinz,
    I tried many times and couldn't reproduce your issue in my environment(SP 2013+SP1), manged metadata field value in Docuemnt Set content item always could be propagated to documents dragged/dropped in this doc set folder via Windows Explorer regarding
    other fields value.
    You may try to test on other lists, site collections or web applications (may also test with new manged metada term store), see if this issue could be reproduced or isolate, the manged metada column value shouldn't be depend on other column value.
    Also check ULS log, see if there is any related error message generated when the document is dragged to the library windows explorer with this issue.

  • How to assign a unique number to the name column of a document set?

    How can I assign a unique number to the name column of a document set preferably with workflows? (Perhaps this number can increase by one each time a new document set is created)
    When a user attempts to create a new document set, this unique number should be already there as the name of the document set.
    (However, It seems that access and edit the Name column is more tricky than the other columns)

    Hi，
    To use document ID instead of Name column, you can
    Modify View and hide Name column. Then make Document ID to display at the left column.
    By default, document ID will be assigned to both document items and document sets. You may
    experience delay before you can see document ID assigned to existing document items and document sets because the scheduled document ID assignment timer jobs haven't finished yet.

  • Display Document Set Columns Within The Document Set

    Hello all! Hopefully you all can let me know if the idea I have in my head is possible:
    Background: I have a Document Library with a custom made Document Set that has about 15 columns. The way I initially designed this, I left about 10 of the fields as "Hidden" because we didn't want the user to fill out that information
    when creating a Document Set. That information would be completed in the next step through a Workflow. The Document Set Welcome Page has been left pretty much untouched with the usual web parts for Document Set Properties and the view of the items within the
    Document Set.
    Question: What I would like to know is...would it be possible to display those Document Set fields within the Document Set itself? At the moment, if I try to add another Document Library web part and view it, the information web part is
    empty, or it contains information about one of the items within the Document Set.
    Simplified Structure of Document Set:
    Name (required)
    Fiscal Year (Required)
    Total Cost (Required)
    Approval Date (Hidden)
    Requisition # (Hidden)
    Team Members (Hidden)
    Reminder Date (Hidden)
    User creates a new Document Set, fills out the information, and saves (this triggers a background workflow that approves the Document Set). After approval, a new workflow is started to provide the information for the Hidden fields (and also schedules a reminder
    for that Reminder date.)
    The goal would be to display those Hidden fields in another web part on the page. Right now, I have users going back up to the main level of the Document Library to look at a view that contains those fields.
    Hopefully I haven't confused you all too much! Please let me know if my idea is possible and any resources you might have!
    Thanks!

    Here is the approach to read document set columns and assign to other webparts:
    for each document set you can find the id when you clicking on the document set or navigating to the welcome page,
    using this id read query string and  the associated item column values and assign to otherwebpart .
    Reference code:
    //page_load for other webpart read the query string of welcome page
    if (Page.Request.QueryString["ID"] != null)
                    ID = Convert.ToInt32(Page.Request.QueryString["ID"]);
                    if (itemID > 0)
                        GetDocumentSetItem(ID , site);
      protected void GetDocumentSetItem(int itemid, SPSite sSiteUrl)
                SPSite site = sSiteUrl;
                SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
                SPList list = web.Lists.TryGetList("DocumentlibraryName"); //where documentset content type attached
                SPListItemCollection items = list.GetItems();
                SPListItem item = null;
                if (itemid > 0)
                    item = list.Items.GetItemById(itemID);//getting the current item
       //read the document set item column values and assign it other webpart controls , 
                    txtDocsetidname.Text = Convert.ToString(item["FileLeafRef"]);
                    txtDocsetid.Text = Convert.ToString(item["hiddenfield"]);
    In the welcome page I have placed button to load webpart ,while loading the webpart I am reading the query string assigning the values to otherwebparts.

  • Workflow: create a document set and add default documents to it

     
    Having a workflow create a new document set seems straightforward: use the "create list item” action, choose the target library and one of the document set content types available in it
    and supply values for the fields. But that workflow action doesn't provision the document set with default content, even though the content type has default content defined. Other people have asked the same question and some say you can write a second workflow
    triggered by creating the new document set item in the target library, but I don't see how you can add default content to it.
    "Copy list item" would work if you could supply the title of the document set along with the target library. You can copy files (in my case several .msg, .pdf and .docx files) from
    a "templates" library, but without being able to add the document set name/path as part of the target "this list" they end up in the root of the target library not in the document set.
    I've seen suggestions that "Create list item" will work, but I don’t see how it can since with that you can't supply a file name to provide the default content with.
    Am I missing something?

    Hi Tom,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to add documents to the document set using workflow.
    I recommend to use the custom workflow activity “Copy List Item Extended” and you download it from the following link:
    http://spdactivities.codeplex.com/.
    With this activity, we can copy documents to document sets.
    Please refer to the link below to deploy the custom activity:

  • Error Creating Document Set in a Custom Sandboxed Action

    I created a custom workflow sandboxed action, and one of the lines is required to create a new document set in a document library.
    The code works when i run it in a console application. The document set is created successfully. 
    However, it doesn't in the workflow. Sadly since i am lost about how on earth it is to debug my custom action, all i get is error and nothing specifically.
    i have been on this for over 10 hours now.
    I would appreciate your help.

  • Create Document Sets from template

    Our current functionality:  a document library is saved as a template.  When a user creates a new document library they created it from that template.  This ensures that all new document libraries consist of a pre-defined set of documents
    as a starting point.
    I'm looking into a Document Set solution.  My question is:  Is it possible to create a Document Set based on either an existing document set or an existing document library?  Basically, we have an initial set of documents that we would like
    to be included in all the new Document Sets created.  If they cannot be added at the time of creation, what would a power user need to do so that after an empty document set is created they would add a pre-defined set of documents from some other location
    in Sharepoint.  Basically, what I'm asking, is there something for Document Sets that is equivalent to:
    - exporting a document library as a template (with content)
    - creating a new document library based on that template
    except that I want to find out if something like this is possible for Document Sets
    thanks,

    What's a data set?
    For document sets you can create a custom content type and specify the default documents, metadata and so on. You can then use the Content Hub tooling to push that down to various subscriber site collections.

  • How do I set up new Document Profile with custom page sizes?

    I see that different profiles have different sets of page sizes. I need a set of page sizes which I use often, and I would like to create a set of these sizes in a new profile, or at least somehow add them to the very minimal set of page sizes which can be selected when setting up a new document. Can this be done?

    Thanks Jerron, I have done this but it only adds one document at one size to the list of presets. The list of sizes that comes with it is the same as the preset it was created from originally. What I would like to do is add to the list of sizes which comes with any one of the document presets or create a new one with a new list of sizes.

  • Setting width of a new document

    Evening all, I am trying to set up an AppleScript that opens a new document 100 pixels by 100 pixels. But when I try the code below, it opens a document 100 inches wide. How do I set the size to pixels?
    My code:
    make new document with properties {height:100, width:100}
    I've tried specifying that as 100px or 100 pixels, but neither of them worked. Any ideas?

    Actually, I figured out that I had not set the ruler units correctly, and the program was defaulting to inches. I added these two lines at the top of the script and they fixed it:
    tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS4"
    -- set the units to pixels
    set ruler units of settings to pixel units
    set type units of settings to pixel units
