Resurfaced bug in SharePoint collapsed lists?

SharePoint 2010 had a problem with collapsed lists not expanding, as described in this link
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/cf86ffbc-14e9-4310-8925-76bea6d9e314/sharepoint-list-when-grouped-and-default-view-is-collapsed-will-not-expand?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
This was supposedly fixed in a cumulative update.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/0119026b-4d92-4c59-b355-374b06f8d10e/group-by-expandcollapse-not-working-when-default-is-collapsed-in-sharepoint-2010?forum=sharepointadminprevious
I am seeing the same problem in SharePoint 2013. Is this corrected by the content of Service Pack 1 or any other updates?
The exact details are:
Two sites use the list view with Groups. The groups work correctly on one site but not the second. The list is itself defined in a third site.
In the non-working site, if the list view Group is set to open Collapsed, clicking any of the groups results in the "Working..." message and then the message disappears. No list items are shown below the list even though the list count is greater
than zero.
In the non-working site, if the list view Group is set to open Expanded, the first group name always shows, but list items sometimes show and sometimes do not.

Hi,
Please try to configure web part property to set server-side rendering.
Or I suggest you update the latest CU for SharePoint 2013.
December 2014 CU for SharePoint 2013 has been released

  • SharePoint 2013 List - Multiple Data Types in the Same List

    In the same SharePoint 2013 list in Data Sheet View, I want to have one column where my end users enter inputs for KPIs. There are 3 groups of KPIs (A, B and C) and they each have different data types (A-string, B-decimal, C-percentage) and I want to be
    able to base their input options off of the KPI type
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can leverage my parent-child relationships so when an end user...
    1. Picks KPI type A, they can select from a choice filed (Green, Yellow, Red)
    2. Picks KPI Type B, they can enter a decimal (-1.000 to 2.000)
    3. Picks KPI Type C, they can enter a percentage (-100.00% to 100.00%
    I'm using if I want to keep this in one list, one column and in data sheet view that the out of the box solutions won't meet my requirements. I was looking at some solutions from Bamboo (Lookup Selector Column) but don't think that applies here.
    Thanks!

    Hi Johnny, you can accomplish this using cascading lookups in InfoPath if that program is available to you. Otherwise, if you want a 3rd party product, we use the Kwiz cascading lookup and it's worked wonders for us:

    Note: I have no relationship with Kwiz, just vouching for the product.

  • How to copy Excel sheet data to SharePoint 2010 List?

    Hi,
       I need to export excel data to SharePoint 2010 list. I have created 22 columns in list which are of following Column types:
    Single line of text,
    Multiple line of text,
    Choice
    Number,
    Date,
    Person or Group.
    Now i need to export the excel data to SharePoint list.
    When iam trying to copy data from excel to List , it is showing as "The selected cells are read only".
    can someone guide on this to export spread sheet data to SharePoint list without importing Spreadsheet.
    Thanks in advance.
    Badri

    I've updated the example of using PowerShell to include a Person field (user field) and a choice field.
    The CSV file has the following columns:
    TRIP_NO
    VESSEL_NAME
    FLAG
    AGENT_NAME
    CURRENT_LOCATION
    RPT_DATE
    EMPLOYEE
    EMPLOYEE_TYPE
    #Get the CSV file and connect to the SharePoint list
    $vessellist = import-csv -Path C:\Temp\VesselInPortReport.csv
    $l = (Get-Spweb "http://devmy101").GetList("http://devmy101/Lists/smarInPort")
    #Get the lists EmployeeType field (choice)
    $employeeType = $l.Fields["EmployeeType"] -as [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldChoice]
    #Loop through the items and add them to the list
    $r = 1;
    foreach($item in $vessellist)
    $ni = $l.items.Add();
    #Add the Title, using the rows VESSEL_NAME column
    $ni["Title"] = $item.VESSEL_NAME;
    #Add the "Date Recorded" field, using the csv rows "RPT_DATE" column
    [DateTime]$rd = New-Object System.DateTime;
    if([DateTime]::TryParse($item.RPT_DATE, [ref]$rd)){
    $ni["Date Recorded"] = $rd;
    #Add the csv rows "TRIP_NO" column to the new list items "Trip Id" field (SPFieldNumber)
    [Int64]$tn = New-Object System.Int64;
    if([Int64]::TryParse($item.TRIP_NO, [ref] $tn)){
    $ni["Trip Id"] = $tn;
    #Add some other text properties
    $ni["Flag"] = $item.FLAG;
    $ni["Agent Name"] = $item.AGENT_NAME;
    $ni["Current Location"] = $item.CURRENT_LOCATION;
    #Add user information
    $ni["employee"] = $w.EnsureUser($item.EMPLOYEE); #In this case, the $item.EMPLOYEE value from the spreadsheet is a persons name. Eg. "Matthew Yarlett"
    $employeeType.ParseAndSetValue($ni,$item.EMPLOYEE_TYPE); #In this case, the $item.EMPLOYEE_TYPE value from the spreadsheet is valid choice present in the EmployeeType list field. Eg. "Manager"

  • Excel like 'Freeze column header' functionality in sharepoint OOB list view webpart

    Hi,
    I have OOB external list dropped on a page as listview webpart. It contains many records and hence while scrolling down headers are no available, hence it should freeze all column headers while scrolling down the page. Its directly dragged and dropped
    on site page hence no server side formatting can be done.
    Is there any way we can apply some client side script to freeze column headers to listview webpart while scrolling down? or any settings that can be done to acheive this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Rahul

    Hi Rahul,
    Normal techniques for freezing the header row of an HTML table tend to fall short when it comes to SharePoint 2010 lists due to the lack of THEAD elements.
    You can try something like this, although you may want to test it in various browsers in case the column heading alignment is off.
    <style>
    .ms-viewheadertr{background-color:white;}
    </style>
    <script>
    /* wrap the table in a div, set its height, give it scrollbars, and move it down */
    var myTable = document.querySelector(".ms-listviewtable");
    var wrapperDiv = document.createElement('div');
    wrapperDiv.setAttribute("ID","FreezePaneWrapper");
    wrapperDiv.setAttribute("style","OVERFLOW: auto; HEIGHT: 400px; padding-top:38px;");
    wrapperDiv.appendChild(myTable.cloneNode(true));
    myTable.parentNode.replaceChild(wrapperDiv,myTable);
    /* Freeze the header row and move it up*/
    var headerRow = document.querySelector(".ms-viewheadertr");
    document.getElementById("FreezePaneWrapper").style.width = "" + headerRow.scrollWidth + "px";
    headerRow.style.width = "" + headerRow.scrollWidth + "px";
    headerRow.style.position = "absolute";
    headerRow.style.top = ""+(headerRow.offsetTop-39)+"px";
    /* Tell the header's columns to be the same width as the cells in the first "alternating" row */
    var columns = document.querySelector("table.ms-listviewtable tr.ms-alternating").querySelectorAll("tr>td");
    headers = document.querySelectorAll("tr.ms-viewheadertr th");
    for(var i = 0; i < headers.length; i++){
    if(columns[i].scrollWidth > headers[i].scrollWidth){
    headers[i].style.width = ""+columns[i].scrollWidth + "px";
    }else{
    columns[i].style.width = ""+headers[i].scrollWidth + "px";
    </script>
    Edit: Also, you may want to inspect the HTML attributes on the external list view to be sure the class names match up with the querySelector parameters above. Specifically, the table should have a class of "ms-listviewtable", the header row should
    have a class of "ms-viewheadertr", and rows of alternating background color should have a class of "ms-alternating".
    If any of those are different in your case, you may be able to adjust the above code accordingly.

  • SharePoint Provider Hosted App that can update existing SharePoint Task List

    Note: I am unable to take advantage of the Microsoft.SharePoint library directly. Adding a reference results in a 32bit/64bit library mismatch error.
    I have to find a solution that uses only the Microsoft.SharePoint.Client extension. 
    I am looking for example code where provider-hosted SharePoint App loads a SharePoint Task List View that allows users to interact with the tasks.
    So far I have only been able to programmatically create and then load the SharePoint tasks list, create and populate a DataTable object and set the datasource of a GridView object to that DataTable.
    I am unable to trigger my method linked to my checkbox within the gridview.
    Ideally I would like to just customize a Task View that already has this functionality.
    Here is my default.aspx.cs code-behind file:

  • Error when attaching workflows to Sharepoint 2010 lists

    Hi,
    I am getting an error when trying to attach an approval workflow to any SharePoint 2010 list on my development server. From the below error in the log I remember that I got this
    same error in Sharepoint 2007 MOSS. It occurs because I have underscores in the server name. I know that I can get around this by either changing the server name or using alternative access mappings to access the server without the underscores. Does anyone
    know of a way to fix this so that the srever name can have underscores which I believe are viable characters in a server name.
    System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.  Parameter name: g    at System.Guid..ctor(String g)     at Microsoft.Office.Workflow.WrkAssocPage.AssociationOnLoad(EventArgs
    ea)     at Microsoft.Office.Workflow.CstWrkflIPPage.OnLoad(EventArgs ea)     at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()     at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint,
    Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) b06aa203-3cbe-4180-806a-4ed994fbbee9

    I think you are referring to the following KB about special characters. 
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905231
    This is not the reason we are experiencing the workflow problem though.  It is related to Internet Explorer security which changed.
    Issues after you install updates to Internet Explorer or Windows
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325192
    "Cookies on ASP pages are blocked if the server name contains characters that are not supported by Domain Name System (DNS). For example, you cannot use underscore characters (_) in the server name. This behavior is by design."
    Resolutions include:
    Removing underscore from server name
    Use Alternate Access Mappings
    Extend and map using a web application that uses a URL path that does not use the servername
    Decrease the security level in IE on the Security tab (not recommended)
    Uncomment a line in the web.config which is commented by default (not recommended)
    <add name="Session" type="System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule" />
    Hope this makes the issue more clear.  I have updated the SharePoint KB to point to the Internet Explorer KB so people will be aware that the IE change does affect SharePoint behavior.  This is not a SharePoint issue however.

  • Unknow error occured while Updating Mpp file to sharepoint 2010 list

    Hi , 
    Any body can help me here whenever i am syncing any mpp file to sharepoint 2010 list  i am getting error that 
    "Please check SharePoint  site is running or not "
    Thanks

    1- once you are done with creating MPP file save as .MPP file Type in all files and store in the same site where you would like to view/see.
    3- create new project task.
    4- now open the file and start syncing give the site name only  there you will get a drop of your project task in second column which you just created.
    5- validate and start syncing .
    NOTE :- whenever you are making any modification in file make sure that you haacve saved the file  by slecting as .MPP  in all file & stored in the same site .

  • SharePoint Online list view threshold issues: "because it exceeds the list view threshold enforced by the administrator"

    SharePoint Online list view threshold issues: "because it exceeds the list view threshold enforced by the administrator"
    Office 365 SharePoint Online can be problematic when it comes to exceeding the list item threshold (e.g. 5,000).
    Examples of what happens after exceeding the threshold (e.g. 5,000 items):
    You can’t create new forms for the list in SharePoint Designer.
    You may have challenges with metadata fields in the forms (e.g. adding metadata values, editing metadata values, deleting the metadata column from the list).
    Cannot save the list as a template (i.e. you get the threshold error).
    Issue I'd like assistance with: how can I create a custom NewForm in SharePoint Designer
    when the list exceeds the threshold limit, given this is Office 365 SharePoint Online and I don't have access to increase that limit?
    As a control for my testing, I created another list with just a few custom columns with no list items --it worked fine for that list.
    I also tried clearing local AppData cache which didn't solve it. I'd need Central Admin on O365 SharePoint Online to increase the threshold which I don't have access
    to do. Errors received in SharePoint Designer:
    "Could not save the list changes to the server." After getting this, I tried to work around
    the create new forms issue by saving a copy of the original NewForm as NewForm2 and got the root error that I suspected was underlying it all:
    “Server error: the attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold enforced by the administrator”.
    Any ideas for how to create a new list form in SD?

    Thanks Alex.
    I just found a couple new workarounds instead of using SharePoint Designer:
    Method 1: Add web parts to the form pages on the client side:
    Go to the list and execute one of these actions depending what form you want to edit: create a new item (NewForm), edit an item (EditForm), or display an item (DispForm).
    With the form you want to edit displayed, go to the gear icon and click "Edit Page".
    You should now see the web part page show up with "Add a Web Part" as an option.
    Add a Content Editor or Script Editor web part.
    Add your custom code to either one to manipulate the HTML objects using your favorite web languages.
    Method 2: Use InfoPath 2013.
       The InfoPath 2013 route appears to work.

  • Unable to get the SharePoint 2013 List names using Client object model for the input URL

    Please can you help with this issue.
    We are not able to get the SharePoint 2013 List names using Client object model for the input URL.
    What we need is to use default credentials to authenticate user to get only those list which he has access to.
    clientContext.Credentials = Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
    But in this case we are getting error saying ‘The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.’
    Instead of passing Default Credentials, if we pass the User credentials using:
    clientContext.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("Administrator", "password", "contoso")
    It authenticates the user and works fine. Since we are developing a web part, it would not be possible to pass the user credentials. Also, the sample source code works perfectly fine on the SharePoint 2010 environment. We need to get the same functionality
    working for SharePoint 2013.
    We are also facing the same issue while authenticating PSI(Project Server Interface) Web services for Project Server 2013.
    Can you please let us know how we can overcome the above issue? Please let us know if you need any further information from our end on the same.
    Sample code is here: http://www.projectsolution.com/Data/Support/MS/SharePointTestApplication.zip
    Regards, PJ Mistry (Email: [email protected] | Web: http://www.projectsolution.co.uk | Blog: EPMGuy.com)

    Hi Mistry,
    I sure that CSOM will authenticate without passing the
    "clientContext.Credentials = Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials" by default. It will take the current login user credentials by default. For more details about the CSOM operations refer the below link.

  • How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the active directory. How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list with all sharepoint user profiles

    How to populate a sharepoint 2010 from the active directory.
    I want a list of all the computers in the active directory,
    another one with all users.
    I want also to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the sharepoint user profiles.
    Thanks
    sz

    While
    the contacts list is usually filled out for contacts that are outside the company, there are times when you would use a contacts list to store internal and external resources.  Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to re-type your internal contacts’
    information that are already in the system?  Now you can with a little InfoPath customization on the contacts list. 
    Here’s our plan:
    Create the contacts list, and open in InfoPath
    Create a data connection to the User Profile web service
    Customize the form adding some text, a people picker and a button
    Create InfoPath rules that will populate the contact fields from the user fields in the User Profile store
    Let’s get going!  Before we begin, make sure you have InfoPath 2010 installed locally on your computer.  I also want to give credit Laura
    Rogers and Darvish Shadravan’s book Using
    Microsoft InfoPath 2010 with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Step by Step.  I know it looks like a lot of steps, but it’s easy once you get the hang of it.
    So obviously we need a contacts list.  If you don’t already have one, go to the SharePoint site where it will live, and create a contacts list.
    From the list, click the List tab on the ribbon, then click Customize form:
    So now we have our form open in InfoPath 2010.  Let’s add our elements to the form. 
    Above all the fields, let’s add some text instructing users what to do with the the field we’re about to add (.e.g To enter an existing user’s information, choose the user below).
    Insert a people picker control by clicking the Person/Group Picker control in the Controls section of the ribbon.  This will add a column to the contacts list called group.
    Below the people picker, insert a button control from the same section of the ribbon as above.  With the button still highlighted, click the Control Tools|Properties tab on the ribbon. 
    Then in the Label box, change the text to something more appropriate to our task (e.g. Click here to load user data!).
    You can drag the button control a little larger to account for the text.
    We should end up with something like this:
    Before we can populate the fields with user data, we need to create a connection to the User Profile Service.
    Add a data connection to the User Profile Service
    Click the Data tab on the ribbon, and click the option From Web Service, and From SOAP Web Service.
    For the location, enter the URL of your SharePoint site in the following format – http://<site url>/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx?WSDL.  Click Next.
    Note - for the URL, it can be any SharePoint site URL, not just to the site where your list is.
    For the operation, choose GetUserProfileByName.  Click Next.
    Click Next on the next two screens.
    On the final screen, uncheck the box for “Automatically retrieve data when form is opened”. This is because we are going to retrieve the data when the button is clicked, also for performance reasons.
    Now we need to wire up the actions on our button to populate the fields with the information for the user in the people picker control.
    Tell the form to read the user from the people picker control
    Click the Home tab on the ribbon.
    Click the button control we created, and under the Rules section of the ribbon, click Manage Rules. Notice the pane appear on the far right.
    In the Rules pane, click New –> Action. Change the name to something like “Query and load user data”.
    Leave the condition to default (none – rule runs when button is clicked).
    Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
    For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog.  Click the Show advanced view on the bottom.  At the top, click the drop down and choose the GetUserProfileByName
    (Secondary) option.  Expand myFields and queryFields to the last option and highlightAccountName.  Click ok. 
    For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Again click the show advanced view link, but this time leave the data
    connection as Main. Expand dataFields, then mySharePointListItem_RW.  At the bottom you should see a folder called group (the people picker control we just added to the form).  Expand this, then pc:Person,
    and highlightAccountId.  Click Ok twice to get back to the Rules pane.
    If we didn’t do this and just queried the user profile service, it would load the data of the currently logged in user.  So we need to tell the form what user to load the data for.  We take the AccountID field from the people
    picker control and inject into the AccountName query field of the User Profile Service data connection. 
    Load the user profile service information for the chosen user
    Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose Query for data.
    In the popup, for Data connection, click the one we created earlier – GetUserProfileByName and clickOk.
    We’re closing in on our goal.  Let’s see our progress.  We should see something like this:
    Now that we have the user’s data read into the form, we can populate the fields in the contact form.  The number of steps to complete will depend on how many fields you want to populate.  We need to add an action step for
    each field.  I’ll show you one example and then you will just repeat the steps for the other fields.  Let’s update the Job Title field.
    Populate the contact form fields with existing user’s data
    Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
    For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog.  Highlight the field Job Title.
    For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button.  Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the
    drop down and choose theGetUserProfileByName (Secondary) option.  Expand the fields all the way down until you see the Value field.  Highlight it but don’t click ok, but click the Filter
    Data button, then Add. 
    For the first dropdown that says Value, choose Select a field or group.   The value field will be highlighted, but click the field Name field
    under PropertyData.  Click Ok. 
    In the blank field after “is equal to”, click in the box and choose Type text.  Then type the text Title. 
    Click ok until you get back to the Manage Rules pane.  The last previous screen will look like this.
    We’re going to update common fields that are in the user’s profile, and likely from Active Directory.  You can update fields like first and last name, company, mobile and work phone number, etc.  For the other fields, the
    steps are the same except the Field you choose to update from the form, and the very last step where you enter the text will change.  Here’s what the rules look like when we’re done:
    We’re all done, good work!  You can preview the form and try it now.  Click Ctrl+Shift+B to preview the form.  Once you’re satisfied, you can publish the form back to the library.  Click File –> Quick
    Publish.  Once it’s done, you will get confirmation:
    Now open your form in SharePoint.  From the contact list, click Add new item.  Type in a name, and click the button and watch the magic happen!

  • How do I pull SharePoint 2013 list data using a SQL Query

    I have been asked to write a sql query to pull data from a SharePoint 2013  List.it needs to return all the columns
    Basically a Select all from the specific SharePoint list Database
    I do have the  list GUID ID. But not sure  which  SQL Table or Database to look in for list data.. the site and the list is in our main SharePoint site collection.
    the query only needs to be saved in SQL server

    I know it isn't support but sometimes you have to share data with other programs....
     I'm stuck.. I was able to get this far...
    SELECT * FROM dbo.Lists
    where tp_Title ='List Name'
     how do I pull the columns of the list?
    I think I still need the specific list not just the master list dbo....
    those two links do not work for SQL server  and SharePoint 2013

    Hi Santhiya,
    I have seen a similar post from you, my understanding is that you wonder that the reply is mapped to the related subject. You can take a look at Daniel's reply in the following thread:
