No "Document Library" in a Project's SharePoint Site Mobile View

The mobile view for certain sites -- all from the same SharePoint site template -- do not have the Documents library in mobile view, nor is it an option to add when editing the mobile view. Oddly, the document library is available in the mobile view of the
template.
Has anyone seen this happen before?

I managed to sort this on my own and here's what I learned in case someone else comes across this issue in the future.
The library was not corrupted, but it was buggy. The lack of any available views caused the paths to go weird as described above. The allitems view was not deleted, however, but it was marked as hidden and had the name removed from it. I was able to recover
this by modifying the properties on the allitems view in the SPList.views collection. Not sure how it happened, but it was an easy fix.
The other issue was me being a newbie with SP. The user had uploaded new files for the list using explorer which appears to initially set them to be checked out. Since they never had a checked in version, they don't appear in any view, in search, etc. but
they are included in the SPList.ItemCount property. This resulted in a seemingly "empty" document library with files in it.
I hope this helps the next person to come along with a similar problem. Serious pain to figure this out, but I got a lot of good experience with the SP PowerShell environment, so it had a bit of a silver lining.

  • Document Set Creation in document library using REST API in Sharepoint 2013

    Hi,
    I want to create the document set using REST API call. Currently i am able to create the folder and able to upload the files using REST API's in the document library. Is there any way we can pass the contentype name or Id and create the document set using
    REST API call. We need to create the document set along with metadata and upload the files inside the document set.
    I need to create the document set along with meta data column values using REST API. Please let me know how we can achieve this through REST API.
    Thank you,
    Mylsamy

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create document set along with managed metadata fields.
    The REST API does not currently support working with Managed Metadata or Taxonomy fields.
    As a workaround, we can use the JavaScript Client Object Model.

  • Using Visio Web Access Web Part to dynamically display visio drawings in document library according to which folder a user is viewing

    I have a document library web part in SharePoint 2010. There is also a Visio Web Access Web Part on the same site, side by side with the doc lib. In the folder structure of the document library web part (it is pretty complex and a few levels deep),
    each folder contains one and one only Visio diagram. I want the Visio web access web part to display the visio drawing that exists in what ever folder the user is currently browsing. For example.. if the file structure is as follows below and a user clicks
    on folder A from the list I would like the Visio Web Access web part to display the visio diagram that lives in folder A. Same for any folder at all anywhere in the structure that the user is viewing, dynamically changing as the user browses the directory.
    Is this possible?
    1.0 Folder A
      1.1 Word Doc
      1.2 Visio Doc
      1.3 Folder a.1
        1.3.1 Word Doc
        1.3.2 Visio Doc
        1.2.3 PDF Doc
        1.2.4 Folder
    2.0 Folder B
      2.1 Word doc
      2.2 Visio doc
      2.3 pdf doc
      2.4 Folder B.1

    Got this to work. Made a new data view in a designer for document library. Created parameter and used it to filter the data view. Then I connected the visio's shape data to the parameter and OOB sorting and filtering works as expected.

  • Get Document ID based on specific folder in SharePoint 2013 document library

    Hi,
    I have created document library with multiple folders in SharePoint 2013.I have created workflow to assign file name convention like this "attachment name-ID".When i created document in one folder the ID is 1 and when I created document in another
    folder, the Id is 2.
    But my requirement is to create Id based on the folder means if document is not there in the folder then the document id should start from 1 and Id should ends within that folder and in another folder it should start from 1 again
    Any help?
    Thank you.

    In this case you will have to build a custom document id provider, see here:
    http://www.sharepointeurope.com/blog/2013/11/21/how-to-create-a-custom-document-id-provider-with-sharepoint-2013
    Here's code taken from that post that shows the minimal implementation of such a provider:
    using System.IO;
    using Microsoft.Office.DocumentManagement;
    using Microsoft.SharePoint;
    namespace CustomDocumentIDProvider.Components
    class CustomDocumentIDProvider : DocumentIdProvider
    public override string GenerateDocumentId(SPListItem listItem)
    string retParam = "SPDocID-";
    string path = Path.GetRandomFileName();
    path = path.Replace(".", "");
    retParam += path.Substring(0, 8).ToUpper();
    return retParam;
    public override string GetSampleDocumentIdText(SPSite site)
    return "SPDocID-HT7G4SP7";

  • In SharePoint 2010 Document Library "Open with Explorer" Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer

    Hi.
    I am getting below error "Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer" while click "Open with Explorer" option in document library.
    My system is client machine which is 32 Bit system and
    Web Client service is also running and Window 7 PC.
    Other SharePoint sites "Open with Explorer" option in document library is working fine but specific site is giving error.
    Even it was working fine but not is giving this error.
    Please help me on it. Its making frustrations.
    Thanks & Regards
    Poomani Sankaran

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you got “Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer” error.
    Did you enable the both authentication (Windows and FBA) on default zone.
    As far as I remember when FBA is enabled on the same zone when Windows is used, it breaks whole client integration.
    So it will be better if you will recheck your architecture and will use different zones for Windows and FBA.
    There is also another thing to try: use claims based authentication with authentication provider which will work both with Windows and FBA.
    What’s more, you can also check with below steps.
    Use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
    Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
    Add the site into Trusted sites to check whether it works..
    Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
    In addition, you can also try to enable Basic authentication on the client computer, by setting the BasicAuthLevel registry entry of the following key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters

  • Hiding a document library from specific users or groups.

    Just FYI I am far from a SharePoint but have able to accomplish a lot from everyone's help on the forums, so thank you in advace.
    Now, Is it possible to hide a document library from specific users or groups? Here is what I am trying to accomplish.
    We have a Document library that we want the whole company to view, we will call this Company Share. We then want to have a separate library/app that
    is only visible to the Finance department. Then another library that is only visible to the shipping dept.
    So when Linda from finance logs into the SharePoint site under Site Contents she should only be able to see 2 items, Company share and Finance.
    Tom from shipping will only see Company Share and Shipping. Administrators and Management will see Company share, finance and shipping.
    I was able to hide the library using sharepoint designer by checking the box "Hide from Browser" which worked but now none of the users can view the library.
    They are only able to access it via a direct URLl link.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi 3s1k,
    What did you mean that "management does not want the actual folder library they are in to be visible"?
    Please give more information about your requirement?

  • Restricting user access based on a site column value in a document library.

     
    We have a business requirement to show the contents of a document library based on a value (or values) in the site column (or multiple columns). For example, my document library has a custom site column called confidentiality. This
    will have values like restricted, internal and public. Now, based on the AD Group the user belongs to, I should be able to control the access to Restricted or Restricted and Internal files from the document library. We are using SharePoint Online 2010.
    Please suggest the best way to achieve this requirement?

    SharePoint's security model doesn't allow you to specify security based on metadata. You could however create a Sandboxed Solution containing a Feature that registers a custom event receiver on the Document Library. The logic inside this
    Event Receiver would fire after editing item properties (ItemUpdated) to apply item-level permissions based on the rules you need.
    Make sure to read the article below to determine if fine-grained permissions are suitable in your case:

  • Different View for same document library on a Wiki Page

    Hi,
    I am developing a Provided hosted app which have a functionality to create a document library with two Views. Also we need to show this document library in a wiki page with two different views.
    I am using CSOM (C#). I am able to create the document library and the two views programmatically. But when I add the document library in the wiki page the default view (All Documents) is shown for both the web parts. There is an hidden view created with
    the WebPartDefinition from the xml provided through code. 
    Through CSOM we are able make a View as default with the link below.
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/90433/add-document-library-xsltlistviewwebpart-using-csom-or-web-services
    In my case both the webparts will get the same view, where I need different view for same document library in a wiki page.
    Also I tried to update the web parts with the following code.
    string viewString = @"<View Name='{0}' MobileView='TRUE' Type='HTML' Url='/SitePages/Home.aspx' Level='1' BaseViewID='1' ContentTypeID='0x' ImageUrl='/_layouts/15/images/dlicon.png?rev=23' >
    <Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='KeyDocument'/><Value Type='Boolean'>1</Value></Eq></Where></Query>
    <ViewFields><FieldRef Name='FileLeafRef'/><FieldRef Name='DocumentOwner'/><FieldRef Name='Modified'/>
    <FieldRef Name='_UIVersionString'/><FieldRef Name='Editor'/></ViewFields>
    <RowLimit Paged='TRUE'>30</RowLimit><JSLink>clienttemplates.js</JSLink><XslLink Default='TRUE'>main.xsl</XslLink>
    <Toolbar Type='Standard'/></View>";
    WebPartDefinition wpd = wpfound.FirstOrDefault();
    string formattedstring = String.Format(viewString, wpd.Id);
    wpd.WebPart.Properties["XmlDefinition"] = formattedstring;
    wpd.SaveWebPartChanges();
    web.Context.ExecuteQuery();
    I created two views (viewString) as shown above.
    The above code did not throw error, but it did not update the web part.
    Please advise how to move forward.

    Hi Samir,
    When we click outside of the list view webpart on a webpart page (or allitems.aspx page) with containing multiple webparts, the list view webpart will lose the focus, and the selected items will be deselected, this is by design.
    You can look at the following article with using the approach/workaround of Javascript to prevent the specified list view webpart from losing focus.
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/44360/list-view-loses-focus-when-additional-webpart-added-to-page
    //Set focus on our list web part
    var webPart = document.getElementById('WebPartWPQ1');
    WpClick({target: webPart});
    //Prevent it from losing focus
    SP.Ribbon.WebPartComponent.$3_1.deselectWebPartAndZone = function() { };

  • Create Dynamic Document Library Templates

    I have the following scenario within our IT Org
    1. PMO office maintains a "Standards" library, to which they publish all standard templates that need to be used for Project Management.
    2. Each Project Manager would like to create a document library within their "project site" based on all the documents within "Standards" library.
    My question is, would it be possible to create a document library template whose contents are dynamically pulled from another library?
    Thanks.

    Hi ,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that each Project Manager
    creates document library with the same template, but what they need is that their document libraries have different content type with others.
    There isn’t an out of the box method to create document library templates dynamically.
    For your issue, I suggest each Project Manager create one document content type with the document template which they need, and add the content type into their document libraries. 
    Here is a similar case, you can use as a reference:

  • "Shared documents" VS "document library"

    What is the different between ”Shared documents” and document library?
    Where do I find the ”Shared documents” and what page can you recommend me to read about it?

    "Shared Documents" is nothing more than a document library that automatically gets created when certain site templates are used (e.g., Team Site.) In SharePoint 2013, you will notice the library has a display name of "Documents" but a URL path of /Shared%20Documents/.
    Other than that, there is nothing special about it. If you don't have one and you want one, you can create it just like any other document library.
