Retrieve SharePoint List Item version with few columns only

How to retrieve the version history of the list item in just a few columns just like what we can do with viewfields in spquery which return list item?
Having performance problem when using splistitem.versions in a big list. When I show only the latest version, the page load much faster.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had an issue about the version history.
I couldn’t reproduce the issue in my environment, and I don’t think it’s a known issue.
Per my knowledge, the version history contains information about when the item or file was changed, who changed it, and information about what was changed. In libraries, the version history might also contain comments written by the people who made changes.
As you had said, you had seen an update to the value of the new column, did you see who changed it ? Maybe some had changed it.
Could you reproduce the issue use the other lists? You can check with other lists to see whether it works.
To quickly and accurately find the issue, I recommend you check with the ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS

Retrieving Sharepoint List Item Information for SAP Best Approach

Hi
We have a request for retrieving Sharepoint list item information to create DVS objects in SAP. Has anybody been doing something like that, getting information out of Sharepoint into SAP? What would the best approach for this be, as usually implementations are the other way around, i.e. getting data out of SAP into Sharepoint. I think that Duet Enterprise would be an overkill for this and also requires additional licenses.
So I have been thinking using either a PI/Web Service using the Sharepoint WSDL to retrieve the information, or maybe there are also possibilities using WebDAV. There are some CL_HTTP_WEBDAV classes, but I am not sure whether and how they could be used for this.
Does anybody have how-tos or examples for either approach? Feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Daniel

Without using a ridiculously long workflow (which even then may not work) I do not think this is feasible in a sharepoint list. A workflow can be used to alter other fields in an item but not incrementing items like you require. You would be better changing
to data sheet view (quick edit in 2013) and changing them all manually then, or changing to terms such as priority high, low etc. Overall, no this is not really possible.

How to make a list item field with DATE data type?

I have a column with DATE data type. Using forms 6i I want to generate a poplist list item field with this column while the value of the elements in the list to will be day names like SATURDAY,SUNDAY,MONDAY. if we change the data type from date to char, it will work properly but now with DATE data type behind it, it gives the following error message
"FRM-32082: Invalid value for given item type.
List WEEKREST
Item: WEEKREST
Block: EMPRESTS
Form: MODULE3
FRM-30085: Unable to adjust form for output."
Using forms 6i how to make a list item field with DATE data type which can hold day names?

Set your date column as a hidden (non-displayed) field. Create your list item with the varchar2 day names. Create the list item as a non-base-table field that accepts the text values of day names. On that field, create a when-validate-item trigger that translates the text into a real date, which it then uses to set the value of the actual base-table item.

CAML Query to Sort SharePoint list items based on Modified date

hi ,
can we sort sharePoint list items based on 'Modified' column, the sorting should be done up to milliseconds level.
currently i am using CAML query as below
<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='Modified' Type='DateTime' IncludeTimeValue='TRUE' Ascending='False'/></OrderBy>but its not considering milliseconds while sorting.
Thanks and Regards,
venkatesh.

Veda, thanks but I'm not really a hardcore C# coder.
We found more elegant solution was to create a List View which returns all records that should be deleted, based on our own custom deletion criteria, and then create an very simple SSIS Package in Visual Studio using the
Sharepoint Connectors for SSIS to delete all Sharepoint List Items returned from that List View. The Sharepoint Destination Connector has a delete operation.
This worked for us and didn't require any coding.

Sharepoint 2010 List Item Stored in SQL - column optimalization

Hi guys,
I would like to ask you whether you know how are stored, optimalized or recalculated SQL tables where are sharepoint list items stored. I know that sharepoint has the limits how many text, number, boolean and datetimes columns can list item have to be stored
on one row in SQL table. Let's asume this scenario: I have large list, more than 50 thousand items, and I have more columns in each item, so each item is stored on 3 rows in SQL table. When the list had few items, everything was smooth, now every operation
with this list take too long so I would like to optimize the list. I can delete some unnecessary columns to satisfy the limits for storing items on one row in SQL table. Will it help to new added items? Will it help to old items which are already stored in
list and are on 3 rows in SQL? Will be this items recalculated in SQL, or is there any option how can I manage this??
Thanks for your ideas, any help would be appreciated

Hello, thank you for you answer and interest in my problem. My list, isn't so small, it has about 180 columns and more than 50 000 items. I have taken this project after my friend who doesn't follow list recomandations and everything worked smooth around
25 000 items, since than is working with the list rapidly slowing down. Now I need to optimize it. Yes i have increased lookup treshold and I know that queries aren't ideal, but I can not optimize them any more. And from your article I have more than 24 DateTime
fields so I guess I am wrapping it to three lines. So I would like to delete some unnecessary colums at first and try to get to at least two lines, wheather it helps a bit. Dont worry, I wont modify the tables directly in SQL :-)

Report workload by calculating how many versions of SharePoint list items created in a certain time period

I have a total of 66 SharePoint 2010 lists - yes, 66! - each lists contains between 1500 and 3200 list items. My employees update these various list items throughout their workday. Each update to a list item creates a new version of the list
item. On average each list item will have anywhere from 5 to 10 versions before it is done. I need to create a report that tells me how many list items they've updated in a certain time frame. I have come close but still cannot arrive at
the data I'm looking for.
This is what I have so far:
I've created a report using SQL Report Builder 2008 v3 where I've filtered it to show only items MODIFIED between, for example, Feb1 and Feb28. Of those records, I want the report to tell me how many versions were created during that time
frame. The result is one list item with 5 total versions. Versions 1.0, 2.0, & 3.0 were created on 12/12/14. The last two versions, 4.0 and 5.0, were created on 2/24/15. Therefore, the answer I'm looking for is 2 because they
created 2 versions between Feb1 and Feb28.
However I get the following results using these queries:
If I do a =Sum(Fields!owshiddenversion.Value) in the expression field I get the total versions which is 5
If I do a =Count(Fields!owshiddenversion.Value) in the expression field I get the instance which is 1
Is there a way to count ONLY the number of versions created in a time period? Is there another hidden field in SharePoint that I can use in the expression that will give me results I'm looking for?

Hi Rafael70,
Per my understanding that you have already get all the need fields and informaiton of the updated version of list items and now you want to calculate how many versions of SharePoint list items created in a certain time period, you can't get desired result
using sum and count function, right?
I have tried to tested on my local environment but because I am not clear what is value in the field "owshiddenversion", I assumed you have two datatype parameters (StartDate and EndDate) to help filter the report in a certain time period.
Generally, if you have add the filter correctly, it will filter the correct number's updated version in this time period, I would like you to provide details information as below to help better analysis the requirements:
Could you please provide sample data of the table.
Please provide snapshot of the report structure you have currently designed.
Please try to provide all the expression you have used.
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

How to implement tooltip for the list items for the particular column in sharepoint 2013

I had created a list, How to implement tooltip for the list items for the particular column in SharePoint 2013.

We can use JavaScript or JQuery to show the tooltips. Refer to the following similar thread.

Uploading multiple documents into sharepoint list item with REST in sharepoint 2013 using content editor web part :

hi ,
i am trying to upload multiple document files into sharepoint list item. I followed below link for implementaion.
http://techfindings-prem.blogspot.in/search/label/jquery.multifilejs
It was working for sharepoint hosted app.
This complete code is written within content edito web part.
It was working when i was in root site collection with below change (hard coded the root level url) in code in "UploadFile" function.
var scriptbase = "http://servername" + "/_layouts/15/";
console.log(' File size:' + bytes.length);
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
var createitem = new SP.RequestExecutor("http://servername");
createitem.executeAsync({
url: "http://servername/sites/cpg/" + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('SalesRecord')/items(" + attachmentitemid + ")/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='"
+ fileName + "')",
method: "POST",
binaryStringRequestBody: true,
body: binary,
success: fsucc,
error: ferr,
state: "Update"
function fsucc(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(data + ' uploaded successfully');
deferred.resolve(data);
function ferr(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(fileName + "not uploaded error");
deferred.reject(data);
But the issue came in picture when i was working with the other site collection instead of root one. The url was like below.
"http://servername/sites/cpg/". This time i need to be there within "cpg" site collection.
Now if i hard code the url as i did above my code gets break here while come to below line
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
I am getting error when i used below code:
var scriptbase = "http://servername" + "/_layouts/15/";
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function () {
var createitem = new SP.RequestExecutor("http://servername");
createitem.executeAsync({
url: "http://servername/sites/cpg/" + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('SalesRecord')/items(" + attachmentitemid + ")/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='"
+ fileName + "')",
method: "POST",
binaryStringRequestBody: true,
body: binary,
success: fsucc,
error: ferr,
state: "Update"
function fsucc(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(data + ' uploaded successfully');
deferred.resolve(data);
function ferr(data) {
//alert( data.statusText + "\n\n" + data.responseText);
console.log(fileName + "not uploaded error");
deferred.reject(data);
Please hekp in this case. This complete code is written within content edito web part.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue about upload multiple documents files into library vai REST API.
As you have said, you have used the hard code url in your code.
How about use the _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl method to get the url?
I have used this method to get the url, then use the code in the article you have pasted within a content editor web part to upload the files.
You can replace the hard code url with the _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl method, then check whether it works.
Thanks,

How to fetch the Attched Filname of SharePoint List Item

Hi All,
Is there a way to fetch name of the file attached to the sharepoint list item ? Basically what we need is the file name which user has uploaded while submitting the new item, Later the same list item will get edited with another file attachment.
We want to compare both these file names and set a Image status value which will be a dropdown. When a new item is created Status will be 'Submitted' after editing the same list item its status should become 'Resubmitted' only if attached file name is dfferent.
We tried in SP designer 2010, but CurrentItem:Attachments is giving option either Yes or No. and from javascript we are able to retrieve filename attched but when stored it to another list column for comparison, the filename is stored as 1 which is a boolean
value
Please suggest us on how this can be done.
Thanks,
Raghu

Hi Raghu,
Did you the OOB Custom List? What't the error when you follow the steps from the above aritcle?
I have ever tested a
case to show attachment url in the Issue Tracking list, you can check if the following code could work for you.
<xsl:element name="SharePoint:AttachmentsField">
<xsl:attribute name="runat">server</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="FieldName">Attachments</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="Visible">true</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="ControlMode">Display</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="ItemId">
<xsl:value-of select="$thisNode/@ID"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>

Open a SharePoint List item in Modal Pop up in SP 2013 fails after you filter or sort the list

Sorry for the long post. This has been killing me. I had this script working perfectly fine in SharePoint 2010 (online) and basically i have a source custom list (list A) with a hyperlink column and a Destination List with say title and my name.
Source List (list A) looks like this with these 2 columns
Title Test Link
A Link 1
B Link 2
C Link 3
Each of these links link to the actual list item in the destination list, so for example, link 1 is/sites/2013DevSite/Lists/Destination%20List/EditForm.aspx?ID=1
So basically i want anytime the Link are clicked that point to another list's item to open in a modal dialog and the script below worked perfectly fine in SharePoint 2010 (online)
<script language="javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language ="javascript" type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('a[href*="EditForm.aspx"]').each(function (i, e) {
// Store the A tag's current href in a variable
var currentHref = jQuery(e).attr('href');
jQuery(e).attr({
'href': 'javascript:void(0);',
// Use the stored href as argument for the ShowInModal functions parameter.
'onclick': 'ShowInModal("' + currentHref + '");'
function ShowInModal(href) {
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog({title: "Edit Item", url: href});
</script>
All it does is find the href tags for that particular value Editform.aspx and the pop modal works in SP 2010 online. So the site page is designed in such a way there is a content editor web part with the reference to this javascript file and the sharepoint
list is right beneath it and this worked perfectly opening in modal windows in SP 2010.
Since migration to 2013, this is what exactly happens
1.) when you come to the site page, the modal works,
2.) If you filter or sort on say the Title or Test Link column in Source list (lets say you select the Value A), the script does not fire at all, if i hover over the hyperlink, the who hyperlink is shown and does not open the hyperlink in the modal pop up.
- This is important because i want to be able to sort on a particular item...
Could someone please let me know what am i doing wrong and why is this not working when i sort the list. Thanks for all the help.
Once again i am trying to open a sharepoint list item in Sharepoint 2013 from another list using Jquery

A ListItem has its own unique row id so in all likelihood, an insert with the same data will result in a new list entry. The Lists Web Service however, has an UpdateListItem method which will take an update request. [refer
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/websvclists.lists.updatelistitems(v=office.15).aspx ]
There is another note in the conference (marked answered) to your List Item Update problem. Probably worth a try too. [refer

Link to Sharepoint List Item

I have a report that I built in SQL Report Builder 3.0 that pulls data from a SharePoint 2013 list. The fields are data, location, cost, department, and reference. The reference field is number that is input by the user on the SharePoint 2013 list. Is
there a way for the reference field in the report to be a direct link back to open the SharePoint list item when it is clicked in the report?

Hi,
According to the description, I know you want to redirect to the SharePoint site by clicking on the value in the reference field in your report. Take the steps below to achieve this:
1. Right-click reference field > Text box Properties in the designer surface.
2. Click on Action page, check the option of Go to URL.
3. In the Select URL box, type the URL of your SharePoint list.
e.g. http://TestServer/toplevelsite/subsite/Lists/<Listname>/AllItems.aspx
4. Click ok. Save and upload the report.
This URL redirects to the SharePoint list page. If you want to redirect to the display form page of an item,
use the code like:
="javascript:void(window.open('http://servername/sites/xx/Lists/listname/DispForm.aspx?ID=" & Fields!ID.Value & "&Title= "& Fields!Title.Value &"'))"
ID and Title are used to identify the item which redirect to. You can change it according to the columns.
Thanks.

CSOM - Fetching list item version history programmatically

HI,
Is it possible to get the List item version history programmatically using Client Object model?
I have checked these links:
http://www.learningsharepoint.com/2010/07/16/programmatically-get-document-version-history-using-client-object-model-sharepoint-2010/
but was not able to achieve. I am not looking for Document library, but for a custom list.
Thanks

Hi,
In SharePoint Object Model, there is a
SPListItem.Versions property
can help to “Gets the collection of item version objects that represent the versions of the item”.
However, in SharePoint Client Object Model, this property is not available at this moment.
A workaround is that we can create a custom WCF web service for consuming from client side, then in this web service, we can use Object Model to access the versions of a list
item.
About how to
create and a custom WCF web service:
http://nikpatel.net/2012/02/29/step-by-step-building-custom-wcf-services-hosted-in-sharepoint-part-i/
This workaround would not be applied to SharePoint Online cause Object Model is needed.
If there may be some better ideas or solutions about this topic, your sharing would be welcome.
