Records Management - SharePoint 2013

Currently my organization uses Fortis SE as our content management system. All the documents are either TIFFs or PDFs. We outsource many of our documents to be scanned (TIFFs). Then we import these images into Fortis along with a corresponding
text file that indexes the images accordingly.
1. Is it possible to migrate my existing information (images and corresponding index values) into SharePoint?
2. Does SharePoint provide means to import batches of images and auto-index those documents?
Thanks
Mike

Hi there,
I want to let you know that we built a
SharePoint Migration tool
MetaVis Migrator that can upload files from file system to SharePoint based on a spreadsheet
that contains files metadata. The tool preserves created / modified user and time properties, allows to map metadata like Category, Keywords or
Author to SharePoint fields and allows users to set values for new fields including lookups and managed metadata. The tool also auto-fixes characters in the file and folders names that SharePoint does not accept. It looks like Windows Explorer so it is easy
to learn. It does not require any server side installations so you can do everything using your computer or any other server. If you can export the content from Fortis SE to file system and generate spreadsheets with
metadata that correspond to the exported content, our tool will be able to import this content to the right place SharePoint and set all properties and
fields. Our users performed similar content migrations from several popular Content Management systems to SharePoint using this method.
Free trial is available:
http://www.metavistech.com . Feel free to contact us.
Good luck with your migration project,
Mark

Hi,
Can you call your web service using jQuery not in an app successfully?
As the error message suggests, it might be an error on the server side.
I suggest you do a simple test to check whether you can call the web service using jQuery.
Here are two links would provide more information about troubleshooting this error for your reference:

Feel free to reply with the test result if the issue still exists.

Any way i can create and manage SharePoint 2013 workflows in browser.

Guys,
is there any way i can created and manager sharepoint 2013 workflows in browser like Nintex lets you do. This will eliminate the need for sharepoint designer.
thanks
MM

No. SharePoint's work flows are created from SharePoint Designer or Visual Studio. Third party solutions like Nintex have other approaches.

Error when running workflow form list item - workflow manager SharePoint 2013

I am getting the following error in the workflow services log when I tried to run a SPD 2013 workflow from as list item. The workflow page comes up with an "An unexpected error has occurred"
page when opened:
Error processing management request. Method: GET, RequestUri: http://servername:12291/$Workflows/$Instances?$skip=0&$top=100&monitoringParameter=1f51aa43-2f1c-4fc5-a86d-f638ca57c00d, Error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): The procedure "GetInstances" has no parameter named "@OtherWorkflowStatus".

Can't find anything on google.
Edit: Ok, when I look at the error, it is saying the the "GetInstances" stored procedure in the WFInstanceManagementDB database does not have a parameter named "@OtherWorkflowStatus".
For laughs, I added the parameter (which wasn't in there). Now I get the error:
Procedure or function 'GetInstances' expects parameter '@OtherWorkflowStatus', which was not supplied
It seems like there is something not right about my installation. Previously, I couldn't get the workflow backend service to run because there were config values missing from the workflow manager database. At the time I tried to uninstall/reinstall
WFM to no avail. I eventually had to manually add the values to get it to work. Something is not right about the WFM install/config process.

Here is what I had to do to get it working:
Leave the WFM (Workflow Manager) farm using the WFM config tool
Uninstall WFM, Service Bus, and the CU's from control panel
Uninstall Workflow Manager Client if it exists in the control panel, it didn't in mine
Delete the following databases in SQL Server:
SbGatewayDatabase
SbManagementDB
SBMessageContainer01
WFInstanceManagementDB
WFManagementDB
WFResourceManagementDB
Delete the workflow proxy service in Central Admin (important)
Application Management > Manage Service Applications
Highlight (select) the Workflow Service Application Proxy service (don’t click the hyperlink)
Select “Delete” from the ribbon.
Restart the server
Reinstall
Enable the workflow proxy service in CA for the web app, the 2013 workflow option will not show up in SPD unless you do this.

Hi Alex Brassington,
Thanks for your reply.

What should I do next?

Records management and large physical documents

My client has a lot of physical records (like contracts, and thick packs of documents)
that needs to be filed physically, but need a record there off in their Records Centre. What resolution can I give to them to keep a record in the Records Centre of the physical storage location of the file? (Also, if there is annexes related
to a record)

Hi DWSWeb,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to route records in SharePoint 2013.
For this issue, I suggest you use Content Organizer rules to route your documents.
There are two articles about Content Organizer feature, please take a look at:
https://support.office.com/en-in/article/Create-Content-Organizer-rules-to-route-documents-1e4d37a3-635d-4764-b0fc-f7c5356c1900

Setting up records management for a custom list in SharePoint 2013

In a workflow 2013, I am planing to 'declare a record' on a custom list. I am doing this since I do not want users to be able to change the custom list once the record is submitted to workflow 2013.
There are options in record declarations settings that I am not certain what to set like what values are appropriate in 'declaration of records can be performed by'.
Since I am my own administrator on my test SharePoint 2013 website, would you tell me what I can do at the administrator's site level to enable the 'mark a record and/or declare a record feature? Basically I would like to know what options to set for a custom
list so the records can not be modified once the custom list has been submitted to the workflow.

Hi Wendy,
There are 2 ways either in place records or records archive it will depend on your requirments.
check this article it will guide you about how to configure each way

When to use Managed Metadata service in Sharepoint 2013 and 2010

Hi Folks,
I have been working on sharepoint from quiet some time now. I have been using managed metadata service also.
What I have not been able to find out so far is when should I be using MMS.
What are the real advantages that I can draw out of it.
I have one application that has Managed Metadata installed and has various terms stores and terms.
The Managed metadata service created is utilized in search,
What I do not know is what is why are we using it at all.
What is benefit of it.
Managed metadata service could also be used in navigation is what i know.
But what confused me is when is the best scenario to use it for navigation.
Why can we not use the navigation provider in the managed metadata service.
There might be other uses also, but that is not clear to me.
Can any one tell me why and in which scenario to really use it.
I know how to configure the mms and how it works though the jargons around the managed metadata.
Regards

Managed Metadata has some specific advantages that make it useful for certain situations.
A managed metadata column has the following advantages over a lookup or choice column:
A managed metadata term set can be shared across the entire SharePoint farm, so you can use it in different site collections.
You can set up "synonyms" so that multiple similar terms resolve to the same underlying piece of information
Terms can be hierarchical (terms can be nested under other terms), and the SharePoint interface allows hierarchical filtering. For example, if I have a term set for Location, and one of my terms is North America, with terms below that for United States,
Mexico, and Canada, I could choose to filter my list to show me all records with any North America location (inclusive of US, Mexico, and Canada), or to filter on a specific term (such as Mexico).
You can allow people to enter new terms, which will then appear in the term set.
You can specify information owners/stakeholders who maintain the term sets without them needing elevated access to sites; normally only site owners can mess with site columns and content types. Managed metadata lets you separate information management
(what terms/synonyms should be used) from site management (granting access, creating groups and lists, etc).
There are some disadvantages too. For example, with a lookup column, the lookup list can store additional columns of information. A managed metadata term set (on the other hand) only really stores terms (and descriptions/synonyms), but not related
info. You might be tempted to do something like create a term set for part numbers, representing every part that your company produces; the term set would handle the part numbers just fine, but wouldn't let you add extra columns of information for
description, weight, price, etc. In such a case, a lookup list is the better option.
Microsoft has some suggested guidelines for when to use managed metadata/term store:
SharePoint 2013:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee519604(v=office.15).aspx
SharePoint 2010:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee519604(v=office.14).aspx
A brief summary...
Managed metadata is a good option when the potential metadata meets the following criteria:
Is something for which a user will select a valid value
Represents information that is likely to be used multiple times
Has valid values that can be organized hierarchically
Includes synonyms or abbreviations that should be aggregated
Can be applied in one language, but might be viewed in other languages
Managed metadata is not a good option if the potential metadata meets any of the following criteria:
Is represented by a built-in column (such as “last modified date”)
Has an infinite number of valid values
Has different valid values in each location that it is used (such as different values for the “version” attribute depending on which product team’s site the item appears in)*
Has only “yes” and “no” as valid values
*This type of metadata could still be captured in site collection-specific term stores

Sharepoint 2013 - Active Directory Import User Profile Property manager fields

Hi there,
I juste encountered actually a little issue regarding the Active Directory Import User Profil.
Importation seems to work well but I have a little problem regarding the Manager field.
When I verify a user profil through the sharepoint admin page ("Manage user profil") , I can see the manager field is correctly populated, but if I want to check my profil as a user (personal information), the manager field is not visible.
With Sharepoint Admin and Manage Profil Properties, I haven't the possibility to modify some settings for the manager.
For example, Policy parameters is greyed.
The only way I found to show this field in a user profil is to give the permission "allow users to Edit values ...".... setting I don't want to set.
Have you already this sort of issue ?
Thanks for your help/idea.

Hi Michael,
I don't remember well what I did exactly regarding this issue because I played a lot with user profil.
I know I used this powershell script from Sheyia which in fact help me a lot to clean and create a good profil setting.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sheyia/archive/2013/10/09/sharepoint-2013-another-way-to-change-order-for-user-profile-properties-via-powershell.aspx
For example, this script help me to resolve some double entries.
Let-me know if it help you (or not of course)

Sharepoint 2013 Active Directory Import- Manager field not updating

Hi,
SharePoint 2013 Active directory import -Manager field not updating
Concern/Issue-
We are using SharePoint and configured the Active Directory Import .First import it seems everything is working fine and OOB Organization chart built using User profile data is coming out right.
Now the user is moved from one Organization Unit to Another.
Now our Manager field is not Updating .There is change in AD manager attribute but not reflecting in the SharePoint User profile.
Manger field is mapped to "manager" attribute in SharePoint.
We tried removing the user and Re-Import using Incremental import but no luck.
Thanks for help in advance
Sachin

Moving a user from one OU to another in AD won't normally change the Manager attribute in AD. You would need to edit the user's organization settings to change the manager value in AD. I've also seen these changes not be picked up unless something
other than just the manager field in AD changing. Try changing something like Office location and see if the manager change is picked up by AD Import.

Show 2 level hierarchy in Managed Navigation menu(Current Navigation) in SharePoint 2013

We have enabled Managed Navigation in SharePoint 2013 Publishing Site. Now when a user browses a page we want to show the current page siblings are its parent links in the Managed Navigation. Right now its showing only current page siblings in managed navigation.
Is there any way to show current page parent links in Managed Navigation menu?
For example I have a term set enabled for managed navigation with following terms:
Level1
    Level 1.1
        Level 1.1.1
        Level 1.1.2
        Level 1.1.3
Level 2
    Level 2.1
        Level 2.1.1
Level 3
    Level 3.1
Level 4
    Level 4.1
Now if a user is on page Level1.1.1 then Current Navigation should show following hierarchy in using Managed Navigation :
Level 1.1
    Level 1.1.1 -> This node will be shown as selected
    Level 1.1.2
    Level 1.1.3
Level 2.1
Level 3.1
Level 4.1
Is the above behaviour possible by doing any out of box configuration or using SharePoint designer?
Thanks,
Anna Jhaveri

Ha i was given the same task by my client but they wanted it to be done in client side rather than creating new user control and inheriting from actual control.
i used Jquery and css to achieve staticlevel 3+ left navigation in sharepoint 2013. first of all let me explain the structure i had created.
HR department
-->Level 1
---->Level 1.1
------>Level 1.1.1
------>Level 1.1.2
-->Level 1.2
(same as above structure)
all i did was setting up the staticlevel ="2" and dynamiclevel="3"
so this would make left navigation with two level and remaining of its sub sites as flyouts
Part-1:
so i used Js to convert all the flyout(dynamic class ) to static $(function(){
$("ul.dynamic").removeClass('dynamic').addClass('static');$(".dynamic").removeClass('dynamic').addClass('static'); $(".static").removeClass('dynamic-children'); $("#zz12_RootAspMenu > li:nth-child(n) > ul").removeClass('dynamic-children');
$("leftnavigation ID"> li:nth-child(n) > ul > li.static > ul").removeClass('dynamic-children'); $("leftnavigation ID" > li:nth-child(n) > ul > li.static > ul > li:nth-child(n) > ul").removeClass('dynamic-children')
$(".ms-navedit-flyoutArrow").removeClass('dynamic-children').removeClass('ms-navedit-flyoutArrow');
by using this script all the dynamic classes get convert to static. after getting rid of classes call "dynamic" and "dynamic-children"
second part :
now we have convert all the dynamic level to static (just look wise) but functionally its behaviors is like flyout menu items.so the following js adds the static behavior classes so it just functions like static menu
$(function()
var path = window.location.pathname;
path = path.replace(/\/$/, "");
path = decodeURIComponent(path)
$("left nav ID" > li > ul > li.static.selected > ul > li > a").each(function () {
var href = $(this).attr('href');
if (path.substring(0, href.length) === href)
$(this).closest('li').addClass('selected');
$(this).removeClass('ms-core-listMenu-selected').addClass('selected').addClass('ms-core-listMenu-selected');
else
$(this).closest('li').removeClass('selected');
$(this).removeClass('selected').removeClass('ms-core-listMenu-selected');
How above code works:
it takes the url path of current page and compare it with the all the anchor elements href ,so when it finds the match it would go insert the static level class like "selected" in the <li> and "ms-core-listMenu-selected" in the <a>
tag so they function like static.
so i have done it for 4 levels so i had to put one more function as shown above to target and read <a> tag href values for 4th level and compare it with current page url.
i didn't explain in detail in here, i'll be writing up again on this issue on my blog with screen captures soon.
Till then you can leave comments and questions.
Disadvantage :this doest work if you have anything listed other then Subsites(pages,list,libraries) in left navigation.

Items greyed out after upgrading and migrating to Sharepoint 2013 - Open and Check Out + Manage Document Option

Hi there,
Following a migration to SharePoint 2013, the follow options have been disabled (Open and Check out + Manage) (see below). These are critically important functions and make it very hard to make SharePoint a useable interface. Any guidance on how to resolve
these issues is greatly appreciated. This is not a branded website, and there has been no changes made to the standard interface.
Kind regards
Jarrad Koppen

I'm not sure what the easiest way is either. First, I would try to create a new site collection with a new library and see if you get the same behavior. If not, then its something in the upgrade process. If it does that also would point
to something being wrong in the way that javascript is being executed.
If it is happening everywhere I suspect you'll have to start tracing javascript using something like IE developer's toolbar to see why the status on those buttons isn't changing when you select a document. I'm not sure what else to suggest.
