Setting the What's happening today field

Hi,
I'd like to know how I can set the "What's happening today" field in lync for my users ? Maybe a powershell script could do the trick ?
Regards

Correct, this is not possible at the server level.  You'd need something run at the client level to accomplish this for users who are actively logged on.
Stale wrote a nice little script that sets that field with PowerShell (that needs to be run on the user's PC), it's not exactly what you're looking for but might be a nice exercise. http://msunified.net/2013/11/14/control-your-lync-presence-during-a-pomodoro-sprint-using-powershell/

  • My "What's happening today?" status keeps changing to something I set it to two weeks ago.

    At work we use Microsoft Lync 2013.  I have used the "What's happening today" status line in the Lync client so people can keep updated on things from me when I am away from desk.  Two weeks ago I was busy moving IT equipment into another
    building, so I had in my status bar a little blurb about equipment moves.
    Now off an on for the last two weeks, my "What's happening today" keeps reverting back to that blurb about equipment moves.  I'll change it by either blanking it out, putting in a different status like "Spring is here finally!" and
    guess what?  In due time it reverts back to the old status from 2 weeks ago.  
    I rebooted my PC and still it seems to be an issue.  I am not sure if other people see this status when it reverts back or not, but next time I will log in with a test account from my laptop and see how I appear in the contact list.

    Hi KJSTech1,
    Have you tried deleting the local profile ?

  • Integrating Lync "What's happening today?" to SharePoint List

    Hello,
         I'm trying to integrate the Lync's "What's happening today?" content to SharePoint list field, is there any way to implement this requirement.
    Thanks
    -Bob

    Hi,
    We can create a timer job. Use the Lync client SDK to get the "What's happening today?" content, then use SharePoint Server Object Model or .Net Client Object Model to add the content into the List field.

  • "What's happening today" switches to the old status

    Hello,
    I have a client with new Lync 2013 deployment. They are telling me that for the most users "what's happening today" status switches back to something they entered a few weeks ago.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.
    Thank you. Eric.

    Hi,
    Would you please tell us the Lync Server environment?
    Please double check if the Lync user information update to the latest.
    On Lync Server side, run Get-CsManagementStoreReplicationStatus to check the replication status for all Lync server computers. And run
    Get-CsManagementStoreReplicationStatus –CentralManagementStoreStatus to check the replication status for the CMS.
    If CMS replication not update to the latest, you can run Invoke-CsManagementStoreReplication on FE server to force Lync server replication services to send complete configuration data to the specified computers.
    On Lync client side, please delete user profile with the following path:
    %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync

  • Using Auto Suggest To Set The Value Of Multipe Form Fields

    I would like to use the Spry 1.5 Preview Auto Suggest widget
    to provide the value for multiple form fields based on the row the
    user selects in the auto suggestion data set. I've placed an
    example of what I want to do here:
    http://www.brucephillips.name/spry/Spry_P1_5_Preview/autosuggest/autosuggestMultipleFields .cfm
    It appears that when the user clicks on one of the rows in
    the auto suggestion data set, the current row for the data set is
    not updated but remains the default (first row in the data set).
    Therefore, if you have a spry:detailregion that uses that data set,
    the values for that detail region are from the first row in the
    data set and not the row the user selected.
    Is it possible to set the current row of the auto suggest
    data set to the row the user clicked on in the auto suggestion data
    set so that the spry:detailregion will have the values from the row
    the user clicked on?
    I had previously modified the Spry 1.4 Auto Suggest widget to
    do this. See:
    http://www.brucephillips.name/blog/index.cfm/2006/11/6/Modifing-Sprys-Auto-Suggest-Widget- to-Bind-Users-Selection-to-A-Form
    Thank you for any assistance.

    Cristian: thank you for the reply. I understand your concern
    about the user changing the auto suggest field after updating the
    complimentary fields. I think that could be handled through user
    instruction. Additionally, instead of using form fields to hold the
    complimentary data I could use non-editable paragraphs.
    I hope the change is not too difficult. I think this
    modification would make the auto suggest widget even more useful.
    For example think about a product auto suggest. User starts to type
    in the name of the product, selects the full product name from the
    auto suggestions, and now the page can immediately show in a
    spry:detailregion all the product details.
    Thanks again for considering my request. I really appreciate
    all the work the Spry team is doing. I'm looking forward to the
    official release of Spry.

  • How do you set the format of a text field

    I have a form with a text field that I want to set to either date format or number format depending on the selection of a radio button. Is there a way to do that via javascript?
    var f = getField("txtAgeDOB1");
    var initVal = f.value;
    if (initVal == "Age") {
    f.format = number;
    } else {
    f.format = date;

    One can set the format of the field to "None" and then by checking the value of a check box or some other logical test make a decision as to what format and value to fill the text box with. One can use the util.printf, util.printx, or the util.printd method to format the value.

  • Setting the focus to a text field on a subform in the form initialize event.

    I have a form that checks the rawValue of a text field to determine whether or not the focus should be set on a particular text field. Here is the logic:
    if(txtEmailVisible.rawValue == "visible")
    frmEmailData.presence = "visible";
    xfa.host.setFocus(xfa.form.NEDA.main.frmEmailData.txtEmailBody);
    else
    frmEmailData.presence = "hidden";
    For some reason the focus isn't going to that object, instead it is still going to the first field in the tabbing order. Am I calling this in the wrong event, which is causing the tabbing order to over ride my setFocus call?
    Thanks,
    Chad

    Try using setTimeout for this from the DocReady event.
    app.setTimeout("xfa.host.setFocus(xfa.form.NEDA.main.frmEmailData.txtEmailBody);
    ", 250);
    There are several occasions where code must be executed after init/formReady/DocReady, etc. has been completed. This is one of them.

  • Using radio buttons to set the value of a text field

    I have a set of three radio buttons on a form (a performance evaluation). If I select the "1" button, I want 1 to populate in the text field. The same goes for "2" and "3"
    I have not been able to code the buttons correctly for this scenario, and can't figure out how to do it.
    From a previous post, I was able to get check boxes to do what I want, but they won't really work because I can't set them so that only one back may be selected.
    Can this be done?
    Thanks!

    The information for this specific case isn't anywhere. The best that you can do is understand what triggers each of the events, then ask yourself which of those triggers are pertinent to your current issue.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/LiveCycle_Designer_Scripting_Basics.pdf ...
    The above link contains a great deal of information regarding how to use scripts within Livecycle Designer. The section that you would be most interested in in order to learn about the available events can be found under "Events >> List of Events".
    You needed to use the initialize event so that the text field would be updated when the document was opened. This ensure that the text field has the value of the default radio button when it is opened for the first time.
    You needed to use the change event so that, when the use selects a different radio button, the text field is updated with the new value.
    That's about it. That PDF file that I link to above is a bit long, but it's a great place to get a good grasp of the basics of scripts.
    If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. =) Have a good one.

  • Setting the value of a hidden field in a Visual Web jsf page

    Hey All,
    I am new to jsf and need some help with the following. I have written a method in the java portion of the jsf page that will get the selection(s) from a listbox and return them as a string. I need to assign the value of that string to a hidden field in the jsp portion of the page, so that I can pass the string as a parameter to a servlet. I have tried the following code in the "button_action", in the java portion of the jsf page, to assign the value of the string, returned from method, to the hidden field:
    hiddenField.setValue(string);
    This is not working. Any and all help on this matter is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Here is the tag for the hidden field when the "hidden field" component is added from the pallette, I addded the "value" and "id". The name of the class is ReportStandard, which extends the AbstractPageBean.
    <webuijsf:hiddenField binding="#{ReportStandard.utilSelHF}" id="utilSelHF" value="#{ReportStandard.utilParams}"/>This is how I am calling the hidden field in the servlet:
    utils = request.getParameter("form1:utilSelHF_field");Here is the code for the button_action:
    public String runReport_button_action() {
           this.utilParams = get_utilSelection();
           return "sRptrslts";
    }

  • Setting the cursor position in a field in XD01 transaction

    Hi,
    I am trying to validate the field Customer type (Path : XD01 > Sales area data > Extras > Additional data) in the transaction XD01 ie: It is a mandatory entry for Customer creation.
    I tried displaying an error message which worked fine. But i want the cursor to be positioned in the Customer type field.
    Is there any possibility for this?

    Santhosh,
    I tried giving "GET CURSOR FIELD v_field LINE v_line" in the exit EXIT_SAPMF02D_001. But no values are getting captured in those variables.
    Moreover they have specified in the documentation as - "However, the variables specified during PAI processing are always initialized". Now this exit is getting called during PAI. Hence i believe that the values will be initialized! Moreover i think that getting the field & line information of the current cursor position is not going to help us!

  • How can I set the font size of a form field in the fdf file?

    I need to dynamically set the font size of a field to accommodate text of varying length, automatic font size won't work in this case. It seems like this can be done in the FDF but I have tried several variants without success. Could someone help out with a real example of what the syntax in the fdf should look like.
    I am using Acrobat Professional 8.1 but the created fdf will need to work with Reader also.

    I think that the font size has to be set in the form itself, not the FDF.

  • Setting the Field Capture Information

    I am having interframe flicker in my timecode and keyframe burn in after I perform reverse telecine with Cinema Tools. I was told my my lab that I shouldn't worry about this, that it is normal. However I read in the CT manual that you should not have any blurring or flicker and that all burn-in should be clearly legible after performing reverse telecine.
    Depending on the settings I use in the field capture information, I get slightly better results in the image area using one setting over another, though I can't eliminate the interlace/blur/flicker over the burned-in codes. I determined that my telecine was done with "One field, with field 2 dominance" by looking at the chart on page 128 in the CT manual, and then setting the reverse telecine settings to "Field 2 only" as recommended there. ALthough this setting seems to be correct, this makes the interlacing/blur/flicker in my image worse. My lab told me to use a different setting: Field 1 Field 2 (even though this setting doesn't seem to be the correct one according the chart in the CT manual), and this gives me no interlacing in my image, though it is still there in in the burn-in.
    Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    Hi,
    Currently too the said field is optional in the settings for Field Selection in MIGO- Check with transaction code OMJX, although the field entry is grayed out, the standard functionality is that the entry made in "Qty in unit of entry" gets copied to this field.

  • How can I set the focus to a field on a Portal form?

    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to set the focus to a particular field on a form which was created in Portal and is based on a PL/SQL procedure?
    The form contains a mixture of field types and also takes parameters from another form and displyas them.
    I have managed to set the focus on a form which is defined dirdctly in a PL/SQL procedure, using Javascript, but this doesn't seem to work for a Portal form.

    Hi,
    look at the discussion on May 25:th 2001, subject "How to get the cursor into a specific field", it might give you an idea.
    To give you some hint right now:
    In the "Additional PL/SQL Code" tab, "Before displaying the page", add following code:
    htp.p('<BODY onLoad="document.forms[0].elements[6].focus();">');
    forms[0] if you only have 1 form, and elements[the number of the item you want to be in focus]
    I hope this could help you

  • Can I get the value for community site's What's Happening web part with Powershell?

    I need to generate some statistic reports for our SP2013 community site. Some of figures I need are "no. of discussion", "no. of replied" and "no. of members" which are already listed in the "What's Happening" web
    part.
    Can I directly get this counters with PowerShell instead of calculating from "Discussion Board List"?

    Hi,
    As we can see from “Site Contents” page, the data displayed in the “What’s happening” stores in these two lists “Community Members” and “Discussion List”, if you want to retrieve
    the data using PowerShell, we will need to access these two lists directly.

  • Setting the value of a newly created subform

    I am adding a new subform by calling the instance manager and in the same script, I want to set the value of a field within that newly added subform, but it does not seem to work.
    if (condition = true) {
    _subformname.addInstance();
    form.subform.TextField1.rawValue = "test";
    So I add the subform and then try to set the TextField1 (name of a field in my subform)to have a value of test. In fact, I add several subforms in the same script event and what ends up happening is that the data from the very last subform I add gets put into the TextField1 of the very first occurrence I added. Almost like the subforms all get added, but only in memory and you cannot interact with them until the script event you triggered completes. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Dave

    Try something along these lines:
    for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    var myInstance = _sf.addInstance(true);
    myInstance.TextField1.rawValue = "test";
