Run workflow when a new item is added and set a fields value
we require a workflow which should run when a new item is added to the form library(infopath) and should update the value of a field "title" with the filename(eg:111.xml).
Please let us know, how we can accomplish it.
Thanks,

Hello,
You need to use "Update List Item" action to update any item in list/library. Refer this link for sample:

Receive push notification when a new item is added to a shared list in Reminders.app?
I want to use the Reminders app on my iPhone to share a list with my wife. The sharing is set up easily, but I want to receive an alert when she adds something to the list. Does anyone know if this is possible. We weren't able to figure it out and have since switched to AnyList which does offer this feature on shared lists. But I'd rather use Reminders because of it's integration with Mac OS.
Hi,
Why workflow? If you just need to send email then you can use "Alert Me" feature. If you want to approve the item via workflow then just create OOTB workflow from list settings page.
Finally if you need designer workflow then follow below link:

Workflow for creating new item and updating list
I believe that the answer is easy, but because I am already having trouble with this issue for few days I am getting blind to see the solution:)
I have two lists and a workflow running behind. Basically when new item is created in first list, workflow makes a copy in second list. Because this workflow works only when new item is added, I have a problem when item is updated, items in second list just
disappear - are empty. I believe that I have a problem with workflow, because somehow I should also have in to update list in case of change.
Please help.
Thanks in advanceHi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the workflow you created was not started when an item was updated in first list.
Did you check the option “Start workflow automatically when an item is changed” in SharePoint Designer?
Did you sign in as system accout?
Please use another list to check whether this issue occurs.
If this issue still occurs, please provide screenshot about the details of the workflow in order to find out what goes wrong.
Thanks,

JTable checkboxes doesn't retain their selection when a new row is added!!
HI,
My gui has the JTable component which has 5 columns. out of which 4 columns are checkboxes. whenever i select an item from the Jlist and click on the add button it will add a new row in JTable.
but the problem is whenever a new row is added to the table. the previously selected checkboxes of previous rows are being deselected. But i want to retain the selection of my previous rows even when a new row is added. please help me how to achieve this..i am posting my JTable code here:

previouslu i was using the setElement method. now i have replaced with the addRow method...
but anyways...the control is not going to any of these overridden methods...and none of the elements are added to the table. But i comment of all the addRow, getValueAt, getColumnClass methods...then it's adding rows to the table but with only the first column all the remaiing columns are just empty...
i am fed up with this...if you observe i have commented out somany lines...becoz i am trying to save my boolean array values into a vector..but that was also in vain...
i appreciate for ur help...
thanks

Since I upgrade my iMac to Yosemite I see "iMac" followed by a long number under "Shared" in the navigatie column of the Finder. Every day a new item is added with the same name and number, but followed by (1), (2) etc.
I use Time Machine.I suffered with numbers next to my unit's name in Shared Devices, Finder Pane.
What I did was turned off my Time Capsule and whilst it was off I renamed my Macbook Pro in System Preferences / Shared.
I turned on the Time Capsule and thus far, 12 hours later the change has stuck.
There are many people suffering this bug, it's to do with ghosting on your network... Where your current machine see's itself as a ghost, hence you get a numbered mac...??? -
Why "New Item" in ribbon and "Add new item" in xsllistview link to different form
Hi all,
I have a question. I have a list with two new forms, one is created in SPD the other one is created in InfoPath (both forms are created by developer).
I don't know why the new form link to different page when I click "New Item" in ribbon and "Add new item" in list view.
1. Will open new form that created in InfoPath when click on "New Item" in ribbon.
2. Will open new form that created in SPD when click on "Add new item" in list view.One way to do this would be to hold the urls for the pages you need to display in a table. You could then build the links as one of the columns of a report using some fancy SQL.<br>
<br>
Or you could make a simple function to return the correct link based on the relevant parameters:<br>
<br>
create or replace function get_url (p_criteria in varchar2) return varchar2<br>
is<br>
lv_url varchar2(500);<br>
begin<br>
if p_criteria = 'Personal' then<br>
lv_url := 'http://host:port/pls/portal/etc...';<br>
end if;<br>
etc...<br>
return '<a href="' || lv_url || '">' || p_criteria || '</a>';<br>
end;<br>
<br>
Your report could then include the function as one of the columns in your report.<br>
Not very elegant but it should do the job.

I bought my Macbook Pro OS X Lion 10.7.5 in january 2012 brand new from my local apple store and i am sure they said that it would run AIRPLAY. Having just purchased apple TV and set it all up correctly I still can't connect - no AIRPLAY symbol ? pls help
Mark
You need OS X 10.8 mountain lion, mirror is a feature of that OS and you need to buy it from the app store, OS X 10.7.5 does not do it.
If you don't want to change visit www.airparrot.com a third party app that can do it.

Set External Field Value by Workflow
Is there any way to Set External Field Value by SPD 2013 workflow?
Hi j.kiani,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update an external column in a list by SharePoint workflow.
I did a test:
Create a list with an external column
Create a workflow , and add ‘Set Field in Current Item’ action, select the field is the external column, set the value to a value from the External Content type data source
Publish the workflow and start it on an item
The external column was changed to the value that I set in workflow. However, when I refreshed the external column by clicking the ‘sync’ flag, the data was changed to the old value.
I used ‘Update ListItem’ action, the result was same
It seems that there is not an OOB way to change external column with SharePoint workflow. You can change the external column by SharePoint web OOB way (Editing item) .
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with a QuickTime program file there.
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "QuickTime" and then click "Repair".
Does the repair go through okay? If so, are you able to launch iTunes and/or Safari now? -
Serena Dimensions plugin can not find resource when syncronizing new item
We use
Serena Dimensions 2009R03
Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.3.0

We have managed to link an application to a Dimensions project, and syncronizing files that exisit in the repository works fine, but when adding new files to the repository, JDev crashes with an exeption:

The item is not created.
It makes no difference if subversion i active at the same time or not.
Syncronizing with the Dimensions client or from a file explorer works fine.
I have tried to reinstall both jdev, Dimensions client and the extension with the same result.
This makes the extension pretty useless.
/KimHi,
1. Disabling auto checkout
go to menu Tools -> Preferences -> Versioning -> Dimensions -> General
this is the GUI approach to manipulating the preferences xml file that you have found. You should never need to amend this file manually
1.c/2 We have an ER to provide a way to work on a file locally/writeable. It is not possible in this version. You could use the file system to set the file to writeable, but it is not supported
3.a the Help files are the only documentation that we provide. It is not expected to be a full tutorial on Dimensions, but to support using the JDEV UI to interact with Diremnsions.
What do you feel is missing from help?
I have noticed that the Tools - Preferences for Dimensions are not documented in help and I will get a bug raised for that.
b. the lock icon does, indeed, mean logged out. If you hover the mouse over the file in question the tool tip gives the meaning of the icon.
ii. I don't recognise this second icon. Can you reproduce it and hover over the file - let me know what it is, I will get the icons updated in Help
