New option to open custom Excel content type in Excel Web Access
Hi,
This question is specifically for Sharepoint Online if that affects the possible solution.
I would like a custom content type with Excel template to open up in Excel Web Access when a library's New>"My Content Type" option is chosen. I have configured the content type (deriving from "Document"), pointed it to the spreadsheet
template I've uploaded, added the content type to the library and set the library to "Open documents in the browser".
However when I choose the new option for the content type it always opens it in the Excel desktop client. If I then save the document to the library, then it does view and edit in Excel Web App after that.
Is there any way for the initial "New" Excel document to start editing in Excel Web App?
Thanks in advance,
Peter
Make sure Office 2011 is fully updated. It shouldn't have a problem opening those documents.
When I open a 97 - 2004 workbook, it states that it needs to be converted. That may be what is crashing on your copy of Office.
Have you tried creating a new account and see if you can open them there.

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

How to control save as option in a jsp whose content type is PDF
Hi
I have one jsp in which i am showing PDF, it means it content type is PDF. I want to control save as option in it,
i.e when a user tries to save it the default name which is coming it is name of the jsp, but i want default name is dynamic which depends upon user.
I used response.setHeader(content-deposition,inline;filename=abcd.pdf) , but it doesnt work. if i use
response.setHeader(content-deposition,attachment;filename=abcd.pdf) then it is working but it straight away giving option as "U want to open or want to save it". I dont want this i want first PDF to be shown in jsp then if some one wants to save he will click on save button in PDF and there and want this option.
Kindly help meDon't use JSP to serve a binary file. It almost implies the use of awful scriptlets and the invocation of both the response writer and the response outputstream which would only lead to IllegalStateException headaches in the server logs.
Use a Servlet instead. Specify the file name as request parameter and let the servlet read the file and write it to the outputstream of the response. -
Invalid Content Type Error for Web Service
Hi Experts,
We have a XI / PI Web Service, and have created an Adaptive Web Service Model for the same. For using this web service model, we have created a HTTP destination of type WSDL.
This configuration works great in our development and consolidation server.
While working with our production server, with all the settings same as consolidation server, the following error is generated for Web Service call. using the AWS model
java.io.IOException: Invalid content type while requesting http://<host>:<port>/webdynpro/resources/<application_package>/guicall.wsdl. Expected Content-type: text/xml, received Content-type: content/unknown, used user to connect: null
The HTTP destination address is the one specified in bold above.
Also, in later part of the stack trace we are bale to see this error:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.model.webservice.exception.WSModelRuntimeException: Exception on creation of service metadata for WS metadata destination
Please guide us on this issue.
Best Regards,
Alka.Hi Alka,
How did you configure the Webservice Destinations in Visual Admin for a webservice explosed by XI system.
I mean what was the URL specified, did you specify XI SYSTEM userid password ???
How was the webservice published to inspection.wsil in XI system ??

Custom Content type based on "Link to a Document" does not open new folder in a dialog
Hi,
We have created a custom Content Type based on "Link to a Document" (0x01010A) into a document library. When I use the New Document button on the ribbon, the "Link to a document" form appears on the same window, not as a dialog. If we
use the "link to a document" content type it works fine.
This issue occurs when creating the content type from the SharePoint UI as well as via XML (provisioning the content type).
Is it a SharePoint bug or are we missing something?
Thanks!
SergioHi S3rgiones,
I can reproduce your issue, when create a custom content type based on “Link to a Document” content type, create item using the content type, it will open the NewLink.aspx page in the same window not the modal dialog.
In this situation, you can try to custom the content type and customize the form page for it, specify it in the content type customization, if this doesn’t work, you may need to custom the content type not inherit from the default link to
a document, but customize it yourself.
Thanks,

I have a team site collection and I want to add a new App of type Issue Tracking list. so I did the following:-
From the site collection I created a new App of type issue tracking.
Then from the site collection I created a new Content type named “CustomIssue” which has its parent as “Issue” content type.
I went to the Issue tracking list and I changed the default content type from Issue , to the new “CustomeIssue” content type.
I open the site collection using SP designer and I created a new Create form for my Issue tracking list based on the "CustomIssue" content type and I select to have the Create form as the default form when creating an item.
Everything till this point worked well. But when I open the “customIssue” content type , and I re-order the columns and I hide some columns, this was not reflected inside the custom Create form …
although when using the default content type and the default create form you can control the order of the fields and to specify if certain fields hold be hidden inside the Create form.. so can anyone advice on this please?Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you lost the ability to order and hide site columns if i use custom content type with a custom Create Form.
I try to reproduce the issue, the result is the same as yours.
As a workaround, if I modify the custom content type form the site setting, and then change the NewForm as the default form, it will change the column orders.
However, if I use the new created form as the default form, it will remain the original orders.
I recommend that you modify the custom content type form the site setting, and then reset the NewForm as the default form.
The result is as below:

Create new content type...
Greetings all,
I am trying to include the Word, PowerPoint and Excel content types in my document libraries so that when a user clicks the "New" drop down they can select which document they want to create. However I seem to be running into some problems
getting this done. I have created the Site Content Type and have also uploaded a template to be used for the document. I have also gone into the library settings and have added the content types to the document library and set it to open the documents
in the browser rather than in the client application. Using Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox when creating the new document I am prompted if I want to open the corresponding application, it does not open the new document in the browser.
Using Google Chrome I am prompted for a name for the new file and when I click OK I receive this error message:
"Invalid template URLhttp://sharepoint-dev/Documents/Forms/New Word Document/WDTMPL.DOTXThe template must exist in the Forms directory of this document library. Create the
template in the Forms directory, and then re-type the Web address. Note that you cannot move or copy a template into the Forms directory."
Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks
RyanHere is what shows up in the log when trying to create a new Word document (hopefully it makes sense):

List with Multiple Content Types and Making new Forms...
I go to create custom forms based on content types. After I create using the wizard in the list it always shows the same form no matter which content type I pick.
what am I doing wrong?
David JenkinsYou can change the custom form on content type through SharePoint Designer. Do not change it on the content type directly, when you add content type in a list/library, then open list's content types in SP Designer and then select your content type and modify
the URLs of your custom display form.
I have updated a document in gallery for
step by step development of custom workflow and custom task form. In this document you can find the association of custom form with content type using SP Designer.

Excel size becomes large while creating excel file in jsp using content typ
Hi All,
I created an excel using jsp by setting content type as excel, the size of the excel is coming nearly around 5MB. If copy the content of that 5MB excel content and paste it and created another excel directly. The size of the new excel is coming around 1 MB.
It will be great if any body reply me as soon as possible.HBhagya wrote:

Look for a Java Excel API to create a real Excel file. Examples: Apache POI HSSF, JExcelAPI, OpenXML4J. Or just use the CSV file format, although you can write it yourself easily, there are API's out as well. Examples: CSV4J, JavaCSV, OpenCSV. -
I am working on a list in Sharepoint 2013 and I have created several content types with this lists. I want customers to be able to create a new object and get a different FORM based on the type of object they create.
The challenge I found is that when they click on "NEW ITEM" they get the default content type and are not allow to select which one they want. However, if they go to edit the item after creating it then they can change the content type from a drop
down menu in the ribbon.
I have noticed that this feature is active in a Document library however not in list webparts.
I was wondering if there is any way to activate the Content Type drop down on a list as they click "NEW ITEM"?Hi Niklas,
You are correct, while click to "New Item", SP will open a page to add new item with default content type.
Workaround of this problem, not to use the "New Item" link, use the Ribbon menu to create an item. See screenshot below

Error while adding content type fields in the EditForm.aspx for an customlist item.
This is office 365. I have content type which is attached to custom list.
Added new site column "CustomerAction" which was added to Content type, now when I added this field in the EDITForm.aspx using the SharePoint designer, this form is called when the custom list item is being edited.
But when I added this extra field to EDITFORM.aspx it is giving error,. the standard correlationid error.
Can anyone suggest, what could be problem !
Thanks
Labhesh
Labhesh ShrimaliHi Labhesh,
When we add the site column to the content type, there is an option to update the all
content types which inheriting from this type.
If we set this to Yes, then the site column will be added to the list where the content type or its child content type has been used and this column will be added to the EDITFORM.aspx too.
So we don’t need to re-add this site column to EDITFORM.aspx.
Thanks,
