Please Label Subject/Title Field!

PLEASE label the subject/title field for a new post. Too many people aren't realizing what that field is and are trying to put their entire post into it.

I finally figured out why I think - if you take a look at the page where most new users probably start:
This is what they see - so, they ask the question (and sometimes a very long question). Not until after you click on the blue button, you will get the text editor (with a whole empty field.....)

How to set a form field that automatically saves as email subject title

I am creating a form in acrobat 9 and want the submit to email button to automatically use the information from one of the text fields as the subject title of the email. So when the client submits the form at the end the PO number they have used will automatically be the email subject. Is there any way to do this? I have found an example created using javascript but I am very much a novice with this so I don't know where to start with this? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Link Title field to custom display form in SharePoint 2013 blog site

Hi,
I have blog site in sharepoint 2013.
I want to display the item in read only view of the selected item.So I have created one custom display form.
Now I want to link this display form with the Title Field.
So that when user click on the title field, the display form should show to view only the item and if the user is approver, can approve also.
Please help me to achieve this.
waiting for your quick response.
Thank you!

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display custom display form when users click on the title field.
For achieving your demand, you need to implement an ihttpmodule and intercept the request. For more information, you can refer to the code as below:
private void context_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
HttpApplication application = sender as HttpApplication;
if (application != null && application.Context != null && application.Request != null)
HttpRequest request = application.Request;
HttpResponse response = application.Response;
if (request.Url.ToString().ToLower().Contains(http://yoursite/libraryname))
response.Redirect(newlocationurl);

Relevance of title field in doc library

Bit of a debate at work and I'm trying to dig up some hard facts.
We have been told that the title field in a document library and is pointless and can lead to user confusion between title/filename and basically adds no value. There has been recent talk of hiding the title field altogether from forms.
My concern is the effect this may have on search results.
We have our own custom meta data fields so this question doesn't relate to collecting meta data - we are covered there.
I have hunted down some info and have read comments saying that title is second only to content when it comes to the search algorithm. I've also read other articles that are less specific and just say it is good.
Is there a definitive answer?
This is a 2010 question but will also apply for our upgrade to 2013 which will be happening soon.
1. How does the title field feature when ranking results.
2. Is there a list/URL that defines all aspects of relevance building?

Hi ,
Relevance is about how closely the search results that are returned to the user match what the user wanted to find.
The formula to calculate relevance uses two areas of ranking called Static and Dynamic ranking.
Dynamic Ranking (query-dependent ranking) is where the property values or content of an item affects the ranking score. As example the ‘Title’ field can be evaluated against the search criteria and the more important we consider the field
to be, the higher the ranking score will be for items where the value in the ‘Title’ field have a closer match to the search criteria.
Static Ranking (query-independent ranking) is where the content or property values of an item do not determine the ranking of the item.
Dynamic Ranking contains Title Extraction - only performed on Microsoft Office files. In scenarios where the ‘Title’ field of an Office file does not accurately reflect the contents of the item (example when a title of a file is ‘Presentation
1’ or ‘Document 1’), Enterprise Search detects another candidate for title within the body of the content item, and includes this value with the actual title when calculating relevance.
More information, please refer to the link:

I hope this helps.

Copy keywords into title field, keep in keywords field

I have this script that works in cs5, but it is not working in CS6- I am going to try to modify it to copy the keywords into the title field, but also drop the ";" and replace with a ","
First, I can't get CS6 to run this code, though. Where is it wrong? Thank you for any suggestions-
#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
keysToDesc = MenuElement.create("command", "Keywords To Description", "at the end of Tools");
keysToDesc.onSelect = function () {
   keysToDesc();
function keysToDesc(){
    function getArrayItems(ns, prop){
var arrItem=[];
var items = myXmp.countArrayItems(ns, prop);
   for(var i = 1;i <= items;i++){
     arrItem.push(myXmp.getArrayItem(ns, prop, i));
return arrItem.toString();
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
var thumb = app.document.selections;
    for(var s in thumb){
if(thumb[s].hasMetadata){
        var selectedFile = thumb[s].spec;
var myXmpFile = new XMPFile( selectedFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);
var myXmp = myXmpFile.getXMP();
        var Keywords = getArrayItems(XMPConst.NS_DC,'subject').replace(/,/g,';')
         myXmp.deleteProperty(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description");
        myXmp.setLocalizedText( XMPConst.NS_DC, "description", null, "x-default", Keywords );
        if (myXmpFile.canPutXMP(myXmp)) {
        myXmpFile.putXMP(myXmp);
        myXmpFile.closeFile(XMPConst.CLOSE_UPDATE_SAFELY);
         } else {
xmpFile.closeFile();

There was no need to make a change as it extracts an array and this is converted to a string so that puts the commas inbetween.
A simple replace can add a space ....
#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
keysToTitle = MenuElement.create("command", "Keywords To Title", "at the end of Tools");
keysToTitle.onSelect = function () {
var sels = app.document.selections;
for(var a in sels){
md =sels[a].synchronousMetadata;
md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";
var Keys = md.Keywords.toString().replace(/,/g,', ');// Replace a comma with comma space
md.namespace = "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
md.title ='';
md.title = Keys;

User Profile Synchronization not displaying Title field correctly

Hello,
I've an issue with User Profile Synchronization (SP 2010). The Title field is displaying correctly for most of the users but still there are few user for them the Title field is blank. However in "User Information List" it displays the Title field
properly for those users. But in Central Administration when I check the User Profiles it's blank.I have already run Full Profile Synchronization few times in Central Administrations. Every time it's shows as successful but still no luck, still the Title field
is blank for some profiles.
Can anybody help on this? Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
Firstly , I need to verify the followings:
Whether the title field of user information list is changed if you type a value in user profile page and perform full sync.
Whether you have upgraded to SharePoint 2010.
If you have upgraded to SharePoint 2010, you need to make sure the user information list is mapped or connected to AD directly. More information, please refer to the post below:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/926abf50-83a0-4e9c-a4cb-4848fcf4f88d/sharepoint-2010-userprofile-title-field-empty?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
If this issue still exists, please create a new User Profile Services Application, and compare the result.

"Title" field not showing up in infopath forms

We have a custom infopath form for submitting requests. It have a column called "Title" ( the default Title which is the same one, that will show when you create a new form library)
The issue which we are facing is that- while we edit the form template in the designer 2010 view, we are not seeing the "Title" column.
We had scrolled through the fields section and also rules to check if something is working behind, but not.
Please let me know how to make this "Title" field visible in designer tool.
Its showing in the SharePoint form library but not in infopath designer(while editing).
My blog: http://sharepointr.com - ZedProg Profile

Hi ,
Could you provide a screenshot about your issue?
The list "Title" column could be displayed and customized in InfoPath Designer.
Please create a new list to customize with InfoPath Designer, see if it's this particular list issue.
Please make a copy of this problem list, then create a new "Text box" and bind the data source "Title" in InfoPath Designer for a test, see if this could work for you.
Thanks

Controlling the space between label and Input field in SELECT-OPTION

Hi ,
I am using WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS as a used component in order to dynamically generate the Select option in my WD Component.
Can any one tell me if there is a way to control the spacing between Label and Input field? This is because rest of the UI elements are in one particular order but for this dynamically generated UI.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Kavitha

Hi Kavitha,
The label is required for accessibility reasons. It's not possible to remove it and to use your own label from outside the component to point to it. Labels cannot point to targets across views (and hence acress component) boundaries.

Title field locked

I'm running DW CS3 on XP. I use other Adobe products
frequently but only occasionally use Dreamweaver, so I've a ways to
go before I feel competent with it. I'm know I'm doing some simple
thing incorrectly. Please help me out.
I create an HTML page and set up the layout so it looks like
I want, then I save the page as a template. But when I create new
pages from this template, the little Title field at the top of the
window is locked. Whatever text was there when I saved the original
template is stuck and I can't edit it. How do I save a template and
keep the Title field editable? Thanks for any guidance.

This is the sign of an improperly made template.
Do this -
Create a new page (Basic HTML).
Use FILE | Save as Template....
Look at the code in the head region of the page, particularly
the editable
region around the <title> tag, and the other editable
region in the head
called "head".
Make your template file look like that.
Always use FILE | Save as Template when you create your
templates and you
won't have this problem again.

Analytics Beta: If we had "Article Title" fields empty

Hi Shikha,
This is Q for you :
If we had "Article Title" fields empty for the folio and then entered those later, we only getting new analytics data bound to those article titles. The older data stays under ::unspecified:: article title.
Is there a way to run database queries and make changes to the analytics data so it will relate article's unique id to the article title if the the title is not empty? That way the old analytics data will get under proper Article Titles once those are entered.
Thank you,
Gennady

Thank you Shikha,
We are not a SiteCatalayst user, so only have what available in Analytics Beta. Please don't forget to add some info about use of both Folio Names and Article Titles in Analytics or maybe even chnage Article Titles into required field if the checkbox "I'm planning to use DPS Analytics" is checked. Those just ideas.

G.

Changing the label of a field in SAP GUI

Hello SAP Guys,
I would like to change the label of a field in SAP GUI.
I already did it internally because for that field the Shor Text of the label changed:
I went to SE11, and wrote down the appropriate data element, through Translation I changed the entries of SCRTEXT_L, SCRTEXT_M and SCRTEXT_S and activated this change after saving.
It is very strange that after making sure that the
Short Text of that field was changed, I went to trx BP and I could see that the label didn´t change.
I´ll appreciate any help you can give me,
Regards,
Efrain

Hi Efrain,
Can you tell me in which screen did you make the screen.
Moreover the changes are not reflected immediately.
What you can try is to create a new record of the transaction in which you changed the label and save the recore. After this try to close the session and reopen the transaction and this should work.
The reason is the label on the screen are not picked up from the data element everytime but from buffer. So when you create a record this updates the database table entry and can also refresh the buffer.
I had the same problem in BP transaction and the above solution worked.
Let me know if this helps.
Jash.
