Sending Reminders for SharePoint Survey

Hi,
Is there anyway to generate a SharePoint survey in such a way that, it is sent out as a task to all the responders and a due date is set by which they are supposed to respond. As the due date is approaching, is it possible to send a reminder?
A default SharePoint Survey list App does not offer this functionality. Any approach using SharePoint workflows?
Thanks,
techie

techie,
In that case above solution will not work as they will run on each item. But you want a workflow
for a survey list and wanted to send reminder email to them who didn't responded to survey yet.
For that I will suggest you
to create a list of user who need to respond to survey
Create a custom timer job which will run daily(configurable anyway) and check whole survey respond and above list to identify who didn't participate yet.
then will send a email.

Please help - Reminders for PO's

Dear All,
Can any one send me the configuration settings required for sending Reminders for PO's to vendors and step by step configuration and instructions.
Regards,

     Number of days representing the time interval at which reminders or urging letters/messages (may also be termed "chasers", "hasteners" (UK) or "expediters" (USA)) are to be issued to the vendor.
Use
     A negative number of days means that a reminder is to be issued to the vendor n days prior to a certain date (for example, the delivery date or the deadline for submission of quotations). A positive number of days means that a letter or message urging delivery or submission of a quotation etc. is to be issued n days after the due date.
Procedure
     In the case of purchasing documents, the time intervals are defaulted from the purchasing info record or, if one does not exist, from the material master record.
Dependencies
     The basis for the reminder intervals is the delivery date or deadline for submission of quotations etc. In the event of several reminder levels, the days must be set out in ascending order of time, without gaps.
now if you want to send reminder to vendor automatically you can set po via email to vendor .. setings are as follows:
configurations and pre-requisites :
1. You must maintain an e-mail address in the address in the vendor master.
2. The same applies to your own user master. You also have to specify an e-mail address there in order to identify the sender.
Note that it is not possible to change the e-mail address of the vendor via the SAP purchase order transaction (ME21N, ME22N, and so on). The system only uses the e-mail address of the vendor that is maintained in the vendor master!
3. For the output type for default values, a communication strategy needs to be maintained in the Customizing that supports the e-mail. You can find the definition of the communication strategy in the Customizing via the following path: (SPRO -> IMG -> SAP Web Application Server -> Basic Services -> Message Control -> Define Communication Strategy). As a default, communication strategy CS01 is delivered. This already contains the necessary entry for the external communication. Bear in mind that without a suitable communication strategy it is not possible to communicate with a partner via Medium 5 (external sending).
4. Use the standard SAP environment (program 'SAPFM06P', FORM routine 'ENTRY_NEU' and form 'MEDRUCK') as the processing routines.
5. In the condition records for the output type (for example, Transaction MN04), use medium '5' (External send).
6. You can use Transaction SCOT to trigger the output manually. The prerequisite for a correct sending is that the node is set correctly. This is not described here, but it must have already been carried out.
7. To be able to display, for example, the e-mail in Outlook, enter PDF as the format in the node.

Hope this will help.

I am looking for an simple app to do invoices. I only need to send around 6 invoices per week and they are usually paid by cheque. I need to be able to tick these as paid and keep a list of unpaid invoices so I can send reminders. Any suggestions please?

Can any one tell me if Adobe is sending out emails for a survey by CEB?

Can any one tell me if Adobe is sending out emails for a survey by CEB?
Is this legit?
Thanks in advance and steer me to the right place if this is the wrong place to ask this question.

I don't know, Drdeboal, but I got one, too ~ I blah blah blah adobe.com ~ I did a quick lookup and couldn't find much except that one or two other co's who had used them for surveys used those co domains, so I deleted.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to custom action for context menu in "Site Content and Structure" in SharePoint 2010.
In "SiteManager.aspx", SharePoint use MenuItemTemplate class which represent a control that creates an item in a drop-down menu.
For example, to create or delete the ECB menu for a list item in
"Site Content and Structure", we can follow the steps below:
To add the “My Like” menu, we can add the code below:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
UseShortId=false
id="OLListItemLike"
runat="server"
Text="My Like"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
ClientOnClickNavigateUrl="https://www.google.com.hk/"
/>
To remove the “Delete” menu, we can comment the code below:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
UseShortId=false
id="OLListItemDelete"
runat="server"
Text="<%$Resources:cms,SmtDelete%>"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
ClientOnClickScript="%SmtObjectDeleteScript%"
/>
The result is as below:
More information:

MenuItemTemplate.ClientOnClickScript property (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls)

Team Foundation Server 2013 update 4 New Install - Error 503 Service Unavailable for Sharepoint Central Admin

Hello,
I ran a new install of Team Foundation Server and let it install the built in SharePoint pieces on a single server setup. After the install i'm able to access the
http://teamfoundation:8080/tfs/ address without issue but am unable to create a project. When I attempt to create a project I get the following error:
TF30172: You do not have permission to create a new team project (when checking security i'm a member of the project collection administrators and Team Foundation Administrators)
This led me to look at the sharepoint central administration site where I receive the following error:
Error 503 Service Unavailable
I've gone through and validated the identity is set correctly in IIS for the following services:
SharePoint Central Admin v4
SharePoint15AppPool
The SharePoint Web Services Root is set as LocalService instead of the domain user.
The identity domain user is setup as local administrator on the Team Foundation Server. They are all set to use .net v4.0.30319 with integrated Pipeline mode.
Any help would be great!
Thanks!
Eric

Hi Eric,
Thanks for your post.
Please share your detailed team project creation log here.
In your TFS Admin Console>>Extensions for SharePoint Products tab, ensure SharePoint Web Application shows correctly in the right panel. And go to TFS Admin Console>>Application Tier>>SharePoint Web Applications tab, ensure your SharePoint
web application displays in the right panel, then select your SharePoint web application and click Repair Connection, ensure can repair successfully.
In your IIS Manager, select your SharePoint Central Administration V4 site and click Browser:17012(http) in the right panel, check if your SharePoint Central site can be opened successfully or not. If your SharePoint Central site cannot be accessed, I think
this issue relate to your SharePoint site, you should contact SharePoint experts to resolve this issue first. After you resolved this issue and your SharePoint Central Admin site can be accessed correctly, then try to create your team project(within SharePoint
site) again, if there still has issue when creating team project, please share the detailed error message here, we will try to resolve it.
We are trying to better understand customer views on social support experience, so your participation in this interview project would be greatly appreciated if you have time. Thanks for helping make community forums a great place.

Cannot start FIMSynchronizationService after applying ServicePack for SharePoint 2013 Server

Dear all,
Yesterday we have applied SP1 for SharePoint 2013 on our SharePoint Farm (1 one server + 1 db server). Unfortunately the FIMSynchronizationService (Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization Service) will not start anymore after applying the SP.
The SharePoint Services: User Profile Synchronisation Service and User Profile Service are started in Central Admin (can started /stopped without problems). Only the Windows Services FIMSynchronizationService cannot be started anymore.
What can be the cause of this problem?
The following application event is visible in the Event Viewer:

The server encountered an unexpected error and stopped.

How to receive and evaluate customer feedback for Makreting Survey?

Dear all,
We need to send a Customer satisfaction survey to a target group and we have to get the feedback from customers.
How can we know that, how many customers selected the same answer for a specific question, and how can we evaluate the answers based rating factor.
I know 'Evaluate without BIW' option, but how this report looks like?, and can we get the detailed analysis from this report. We are using CRM 7.0 and we don't have BIW in our Landscape
Please educate me in the above scenario as it is an immediate requirement from client side. Your help will be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Raghu ram

The SAP Library has a good starting point with examples that should offer some insight into how to work with the Campaign Automation, which is how you could process the specific survey responses...otherwise the area you've already found is where you can check for more generalized data (How many people answered Yes/No, etc.)
Specific answers are typically tracked by adding the respondents to various Target Groups for subsequent processing.

Email notification program to send reminders

Hi all
For infotype 0019, Monitoring of task, have to develop a Email notification program to send reminders. Do any body have code or any idea how to approach.
rgds
AJ

Hi aj,
1. Infotype 0019 will only store data. It won't send any email.
2. For this purpose, we can develop one program,
   (which will everyday run in background)
3. This program will read the data from infotype 0019,
    based upon the date.
   It will fetch the required records,
   and send email based upon the type of notification and content.
regards,

DoD 5015.2 Resource Kit for SharePoint 2013

Is there a Microsoft DoD 5015.2 Resource Kit for SharePoint 2013? I researched Microsoft.com, this blog website, and the web but could not find specifically whether SharePoint 2013 is DoD 5015.2 certified other than from third party vendors.

That's a very tough question. I have worked previously with clients that have wanted to work within ARIMS and AFRIMS. The short answer is that yes, this is certainly possible to comply with DoD directives on file management. That said, it requires a lot
of planning and potentially some slight customization that you can work to develop and send for approval or a third party tool.

ICal reminders for iPod and notebook battery have broken links

iCal reminders for iPod and notebook battery have broken links and are not functioning. I went to http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html and midway down on the right side is a link to install a ical reminder. That link does not work with my laptop.
It sends me this link "webcal://www.apple.com/images/ipod_icalreminder.ics" but I immediately get an email message stating:
Error subscribing to the calendar
No calendar was found on http://www.apple.com/images/ipod_icalreminder.ics. Please check the URL.
Likewise, the same thing happens for my notebook. Is there another URL or does anyone have connections at apple to reinstate this dead link.

Hope this helpful.

Send Email to Sharepoint Group

Hi All,
How can i send email to sharepoint group? using infopath form send email data connection.
1) I have created three groups i.e GroupA, GroupB and GroupC. i have a dropdown list (Items are GroupA,GroupB,GroupC) in my form. lets say user selected GroupA from dropdownlist then up on submit i have to send an emal to GroupA.
--> Can this be possible? if yes then how
2) I have another alternate solution. can this be achieved? please let me know
I have created a three sharepoint custom list for GroupA, B & C in that few listed users email id are present.
Here my questio is:
1) How can i get the list of all the users when user select GroupA/GroupB/GroupC in dropdown list and sends an email to those users on submit button?
2) Can this be possible Using Rules/setting Condition? If not
3) Can this be achieved by using vbscript? because my client doesn't want to go with manage code and the big problem is i didn't have any idea on VBScript
Please help me. Thanks in Advance.
Mohammed

All this can easily be done with a pretty simple workflow. Is there a reason you're not doing it that way? It's best NOT to send the entire form via email, because the data is immediately out of date, the formatting gets messed up, it requires
InfoPath to be installed on the client, and it duplicates the data across the system.
Please explain why you want to send via email submit instead of workflow, and then I'll see about testing your scenarios.

Turning off reminders for iCal locations

Good Morning,
I wanted to know if anyone could tell me how to turn off the reminders for the locations in Lion Servers iCal server. It is a bit annoying that the location is sending reminders and the only way to stop them is to go event by event and change the setting on it. We are already getting reminders for the attendee and there is no need for the ones from the actual location. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Mystic Rose @}-----|---

Hi Chris,
This has been asked for before, but there are no current plans to change the default of "18 hours" or to allow a means to modify the value.
As a workaround, you can use code in a macro, script, COM Add-in, etc. to reset the Reminder time to something more adequate to your needs.
DISCLAIMER: The code is provided only as a courtesy to our customers. It is not supported in any way by Microsoft.
Dim oApp As Outlook.Application
Dim calFolder As Outlook.Folder
Dim items As Outlook.items
Dim appt As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Dim i As Integer
Set oApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set calFolder = oApp.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)
Set items = calFolder.items
For i = items.Count To 1 Step -1
If items.Item(i).Class = Outlook.olAppointment Then
Set appt = items.Item(i)
If appt.AllDayEvent = True Then
If appt.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 1080 Then '1080 = 18 hours X 60 minutes
appt.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 60 '60 minutes
appt.Save
End If
End If
End If
Set items = Nothing
Set calFolder = Nothing
Set appt = Nothing
Set oApp = Nothing
I have emailed the Outlook Feature Requests alias on this. This is monitored directly by the
Outlook Product team. Additionally, you can call in and open a support incident regarding this issue and we can investigate this further.
Hope that helps!

Grouping SharePoint Survey Into Sections

Hi,
Is it possible to group SharePoint Survey questions? for eg; I would like to group questions 1-6 into one section and 7-12 into another group?
Please help.
techie

Hey,<o:p></o:p>
Just a thought, if you can define some branching logic on 6th question, then a page break will automatically inserted after a branching enabled question.
By doing this your survey will be divided in two pages/groups.
To define branching logic, add your questions and then, in the Survey Settings page, edit the questions to define the branching logic. Please check it out. It may help you.
<o:p>Thanks.</o:p>
