People and group column become empty on EDIT ITEM

Hi,
I have 3 people and group columns(Peopleonly type) in my custom content type and list definition from the content type. When I EDIT an item from the list , the values in the 3 people and group column dissappear(meaning the fields are shown empty). Has
anybody come across this behaviour. Any solution/workaround ?

Hi Vipul,
Did this only happen to the EditForm.aspx page of that custom list ?
Is this EditForm.aspx page customized ?
Please also check whether there are some related errors in 14\LOGS.
Please re-create another new EditForm.aspx page using the SharePoint Designer 2010, then check result again.
Thanks

Can't find "people or group"-column in database

Hi,
Where can I find the people and group column in the database in SharePoint
2010? I need this for a report...
I have a list with multiple columns. In the Table "AllUserData" I can find all information of the columns exept the people picker column.
I found this solution:

But there they are talking about "tp_LeafName" and "tp_DirName" and I can't find these columns...
Any idea?

Found it, needed this tables:

Person and Group column in Document Information Panel in Word

Hi All,
Environment: SharePoint 2010 and Claims based Authentication.
We have a library with "Person and Group" column, "Choose from:" is set to "All Users" and in the "Document Information Panel" when I click on the Address Book (book symbol) it doesn't open the popup to select the
user nor it resolves the ids that I put in.
But if I change the setting for "Choose from:" to "SharePoint Group:" and select any group (tested randomly with some existing groups in that site), now when I click on the Address Book in the DIP it gives me the popup and also resolves
the ids.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you by chance looked at ULS logs or taken a network trace during the time the People Picker control is attempting to be rendered?
It seems to be a client-side issue. GPOs have been applied to "secure" Office2010.
Have you ever heard of GPOs causing such issues? As far as I know the people picker is an ActiveX control. There are two settings in the GPO which have something to do with Active X:
Active X Control Initialization
Check Active X Objects
Windows Internet Explorer Feature Control Opt-In
Beaconing UI for forms opened in Infopath Filler Active X
Bind to Object

Check current user exist people or group column

How to check current logged in user name already exist in people or group column of share-point custom list 2013 using c#?
Note: People or group column contains multiple items.

You can use javascript to get current user and then perform vlookup on the field
Current use
function CallClientOM()
var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
this.website = context.get_web();
this.currentUser = website.get_currentUser();
context.load(currentUser);
context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
function onQuerySucceeded(sender, args)
alert(currentUser.get_loginName());
function onQueryFailed(sender, args)
alert('request failed ' + args.get_message() + '\n'+ args.get_stackTrace());

Single line of text/email id to People or Group column

I have a list of employee details, along with their SharePoint email ID. I want to import this list along with a new People or Group column, where it reads the email id and picks the correct user from Active Directory. How to import this?

Hi Abul,
Based on your description, I did a test. When I used users' email address in excel table and imported it to SharePoint list, the column would be saved as Hyperlink or Picture type. If I used Domain\User, after importing it to SharePoint list, the column
would be saved as Single line of text type.
It seems that it only is converted into Single line of text or Hyperlink type when you import a table into SharePoint list, by default. There is not a way to convert the table column in excel file into People column in SharePoint list.
Thanks,
Wendy

What is difference between distribution list and share point group? Can we add distribution list into person and group column of share point list?

there is a workaround you can try, create audience and add DL to them and deal with the audience or convert DL to groups

How to update a People and group field using a sandbox solution

Hi,
I am creating a sandbox solution for office 365 and creating a custom form using visual web part, which will allow users to enter data in a custom list.
And that list also have a user field. I am able to get SharePoint user field on the form (using javascript) which is searching for the user and get a value (working fine).
Issue: But I am not able to save the user value. Because to save user value I require web, UserID and login name, to construct SPFieldUserValue object or string in "111;#TestUser" format. Moreover that user should be present in
SiteUserInfoList.
I tried web.EnsureUser() but did not work under sanbox solution.
Can you please provide any pointer or workaround to the problem? I may be missing something here.
Thanks,
Himanshu

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update the people and group field in Sandbox solution.
In the sandbox solution, you can still use the web.EnsureUser() function to get the user information, see the thread below:
EnsureUser in sandboxed solution
In additional, there is a demo with your similiar requirement for your reference:
Using the People Picker Control in Sandbox Solutions / Office 365

People and Groups not appearing in Address List

We have an Exchange 2013 deployment running on Windows 2012 Standard servers. Some of our people and all our groups are not showing up in the Outlook Address Book on people's client application. This despite the fact that "hide name from address book"
is unchecked on these people and groups.
This affects both those running Outlook and OWA.
Any idea how I can go about troubleshooting this?
----------- Ron E Biggs Chief Tech Officer Entertainment Studios

Hi,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following things:
1. Outlook in cached mode automatically updates the offline address book on the client every 24 hours. The 24-hour time period is measured from the time that the offline address book was last downloaded successfully. So sometimes new users can't be displayed
immediately on Outlook.
2. If you would like to show the dynamic distribution groups in “All Groups”, you can use the following cmdlet.
Set-AddressList -Identity "all groups" -RecipientFilter "(RecipientType -eq 'MailUniversalDistributionGroup' -or RecipientType -eq 'MailUniversalSecurityGroup' -or RecipientType -eq 'MailNonUniversalGroup' -or RecipientType -eq 'DynamicDistributionGroup')"
Here is a helpful thread for your reference.
Let the dynamic distribution groups be shown in “All Groups”

Kindly help me to getdown from the customer concern.

I would suggest a tool like Metalogix ControlPoint. It can quickly produce nice looking reports for this type of information.

Known limit for how many characters can be entered in the To field when adding People and Groups ?

I am running MOSS 2007 SP1. I browse to site settings > People and groups and a group which has more than 60 members. I select all > Click Actions > Email Users. Nothing happens. I select less users, new outlook window comes up as it should. I am running outlook 2007. I first thought that the limit was 50 users, but different user selections let me select 51 users as well. I then concentrated on the character limit and I noticed that there were about 1580 characters in the To field when I selected 50/51 users.
Is there a known limit in sharepoint/outlook client for this function on how many characters can be entered in the To field?

Hello Amar,
This is a by-design behavior, not from SharePoint side, but Internet Explorer. The limitation by the 2083 characters in IE for the Max URL length is described in the following KB article:
(KB208427) Maximum URL length is 2,083 characters in Internet Explorer
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;208427
As a workaround, you may need to divide the list up and not send all the email at the same time. Hope it helps!

Site administration link "people and groups" link breaks if you delete the excel services viewers group

Creating a HNSC using powershell, the default groups are not created. Used the UI method of creating the default groups.
However, if I delete the "excel services viewers" group, the site administration link "people and groups" breaks. I have attempted to "set the default group" again, after creating the "site default groups" as
mentioned above, but still no luck.
Anyone seen this? Should it be reported as a bug?
Joshua Fuente

Hi Joshua,
For troubleshooting your issue, you can create the default groups using the following PowerShell script and see the result:
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
$currentUser = "$env:USERDOMAIN\$env:USERNAME"
$siteCollectionUrl = "http://manasbhardwaj.net"
$siteCollectionName = "Manas Dev Site"
$webApplicationUrl = "http://manas"
New-SPSite -Url $siteCollectionUrl -OwnerAlias $currentUser -Name $siteCollectionName -Language 1033 -HostHeaderWebApplication $webApplicationUrl -Template sts#0
$web = Get-SPWeb $siteCollectionUrl
$web.EnsureUser($currentUser)
$web.CreateDefaultAssociatedGroups($currentUser, "", "")

BIDS 2008 - Dimension Usage new relationship Measure Group Column list empty?

Ive been updating my underlying schema, and DSV and now Im having to update some of the Dimensions. Looks like things got a bit "sideways" somewhere along the way. Now that Im going back to reassign dimensions being used within the
Dimension Usage tab of the Cube, the measure group column list is empty when I go to create a new relationship (regular type)

Hi shiftbit,
According to your description, you get an empty Measure Group Columns list when defining relationship. Right?
Based on your screenshot, you may notice that Measure group table is empty, so definitely it can't show any column in the dropdown list. If there's columns in the measure group that are related to the dimension columns, at least it will show the fact
table for Measure group.
In this scenario, please check if the fact table for the Measure group is existing. Re-process the Measure group and try again. If the issue persists, please re-create that measure group.

Define Relationship Dialog Box (Analysis Services - Multidimensional Data)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Outline and Group columns like in Excel?

I am trying to do an outline and group of columns like in Excel. I basically, want to hide away (roll up) certain columns in a spreadsheet. I know I can hide them, but I would prefer to group/outline them like I can in Excel so anyone can ungroup them. If I just hide them, they look like they are gone. Can Numbers '09 do this for columns?
Thanks,
jeff

Numbers does not have that capability. It would be difficult to replicate it for columns because there are no filters for columns, just rows. It might be possible to do something for rows by using the filtering capabilities, an extra (hidden) column on which to filter, and checkboxes that you can check/uncheck to show/hide groups of rows.

AdvancedDatagrid and Grouped Columns scroller issue.

Dear Friends,
I have one issue. when use the AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup in AdvancedDataGrid.
Description:
In the AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup created renderer with (+/-) icon. when clicking the icon hide/show the columns in the group column. function code
* This function shows/hides the child columns
* @param event:MouseEvent
private function showHideColumn(event:MouseEvent):void
try
var index:int;
for (index=1; index < this._columnGroup.children.length; index++)
if (this._columnGroup.children[index])
this._columnGroup.children[index].visible=this._hideFlag;
imgShowHideColumn.source=this._hideFlag ? collapseColumn : expandColumn;
this._hideFlag=!this._hideFlag;
catch (err:Error)
Alert.show(err.message + "\n" + err.getStackTrace());
I have 25 columns, but only 8 columns visible, other hidden with the scrollbar. when click the (+/-) icon in the group column to hide/show the child columns then throws error in the AdvancedDataGridBaseEx.as:983.
I think this issue is because of invisible columns. if i removed invisible columns and click (+/-) then it work well. hide the sub columns and show.
can you give any suggestions for this issue.
