SharePoint 2010- Project Feasibility

Hi all,
I am working on SharePoint Foundation 2010. I have the following requirement in my project.
1) I need to create a list with more than 250 columns.
2) Design custom New, Edit and Display forms which includes all the above 250 columns.
3) Few rows in the display forms should be hidden based on other column values.
4) Approval process is required for each item in this list. this will have two levels of approval i.e., first one would be acceptance from one department and second one would be from business head. mails should be send to respective people
at each stage of approval.
5) Dynamic graphical reports should be created based on the list data which provides data analysis. 
Kindly let us know whether this project is feasible on
SharePoint Foundation 2010. If not "is this feasible on SharePoint 2010 server"? 

Hello IetShare,
I would use InfoPath for this, you can edit the forms of a SharePoint list.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg180738(v=office.14).aspx
Btw, I would just use 120 columns to store the answers.

  • Slipstream SharePoint 2010 and Project Server Installation

    Hello, 
    I have my current farm environment with the below configuration 
    SharePoint 2010 + Project Server which are on SP 2 + Brazil Language Pack
    2 WFE
    2 App
    1 SQL
    We are planning to add more WFE and App server in the existing farm. As per my research I found that we can slipstream CU and language pack install. 
    Would like to know can I slipstream SP2010 + Project server with SP2 along with Brazil language pack in one single go. I did found the article http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c6f60e5e-4f07-4e92-a8de-a32924b00ce5/sharepoint-2010-and-project-server-2010-slipstream-install?forum=sharepointadminprevious
    however in this case there was request to setup a new farm but I'm trying to add new server to the existing farm. 
    Can you please suggest the best approach that can be followed to save time to add the new server to the existing farm using slipstream. 
    Thanks. 

    You can do the same per the old thread. Just install SharePoint server, cancel config wizard, install Project Server, cancel config wizard, install LPK, then start Config Wizard and join to farm.

  • SharePoint 2010, Visual Studio 2010, Packaging a solution - The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

    Hi,
    I have a solution that used to contain one SharePoint 2010 project. The project is named along the following lines:
    <Company>.<Product>.SharePoint - let's call it Project1 for future reference. It contains a number of features which have been named according
    to their purpose, some are reasonably long and the paths fairly deep. As far as I am concerned we are using sensible namespaces and these reflect our company policy of "doing things properly".
    I first encountered the following error message when packaging the aforementioned SharePoint project into a wsp:
    "The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters."
    I went through a great deal of pain in trying to rename the project, shorten feature names and namespaces etc... until I got it working. I then went about gradually
    renaming everything until eventually I had what I started with, and it all worked. So I was none the wiser...not ideal, but I needed to get on and had tight delivery timelines.
    Recently we wanted to add another SharePoint project so that we could move some of our core functinality out into a separate SharePoint solution - e.g. custom workflow
    error logging. So we created another project in Visual Studio called:
    <Company>.<Product>.SharePoint.<Subsystem> - let's call it Project2 for future reference
    And this is when the error has come back and bitten me! The scenario is now as follows:
    1. project1 packages and deploys successfully with long feature names and deep paths.
    2. project2 does not package and has no features in it at all. The project2 name is 13 characters longer than project1
    I am convinced this is a bug with Visual Studio and/or the Package MSBuild target. Why? Let me explain my findings so far:
    1. By doing the following I can get project2 to package
    In Visual Studio 2010 show all files of project2, delete the obj, bin, pkg, pkgobj folders.
    Clean the solution
    Shut down Visual Studio 2010
    Open Visual Studio 2010
    Rebuild the solution
    Package the project2
    et voila the package is generated!
    This demonstrates that the package error message is in fact inaccurate and that it can create the package, it just needs a little help, since Visual Studio seems to
    no longer be hanging onto something.
    Clearly this is fine for a small time project, but try doing this in an environment where we use Continuous Integration, Unit Testing and automatic deployment of SharePoint
    solutions on a Build Server using automated builds.
    2. I have created another project3 which has a ludicrously long name, this packages fine and also has no features contained within it.
    3. I have looked at the length of the path under the pkg folder for project1 and it is large in comparison to the one that is generated for project2, that is when it
    does successfully package using the method outlined in 1. above. This is strange since project1 packages and project2 does not.
    4. If I attempt to add project2 to my command line build using MSBuild then it fails to package and when I then open up Visual Studio and attempt to package project2
    from the Visual Studio UI then it fails with the path too long error message, until I go through the steps outlined in 1. above to get it to package.
    5. DebugView shows nothing useful during the build and packaging of the project.
    6. The error seems to occur in
    CreateSharePointProjectService target called at line 365 of
    Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.targetsCurrently I am at a loss to work out why this is happening? My next task is to delete
    project2 completely and recreate it and introduce it into my Visual Studio solution.
    Microsoft, can you confirm whether this is a known issue and whether others have encountered this issue? Is it resolved in a hotfix?
    Anybody else, can you confirm whether you have come up with a solution to this issue? When I mean a solution I mean one that does not mean that I have to rename my namespaces,
    project etc... and is actually workable in a meaningful Visual Studio solution.

    Hi
    Yes, I thought I had fixed this my moving my solution from the usual documents  to
    c:\v2010\projectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline
    This builds ok, but when I come to package I get the lovely error:
    Error 2 The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. C:\VS2010\ProjectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline\VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart\Features\Feature1\Feature1.feature VisualDetailedProjectTimeline
    Now, the error seems to be related to 
    Can anyone suggest what might be causing this. Probably some path in an XML file somewhere. Here is my prime suspect!
    <metaData>
    <type name="VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimeline, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" />
    <importErrorMessage>$Resources:core,ImportErrorMessage;</importErrorMessage>
    </metaData>
    <data>
    <properties>
    <property name="Title" type="string">VisualProjectTimelineWebPart</property>
    <property name="Description" type="string">My Visual WebPart</property>
    </properties>
    </data>
    </webPart>
    </webParts>
    .... Unless I can solve this I will have to remove the project and recreate but with simple paths. Tho I will be none the wiser if I come across this again.

  • How to sync Projects between Sharepoint and Project server 2010.

    Hello,
    My project is saved in SharePoint and I am trying to save and link my project from Sharepoint to Project server 2010 so that they will be saved in Sharepoint and Project Serverwill both and synced.Users can edit or update from Sharepoint
    and Project server.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Prashant
    Thanks, Prashant

    Hi Prashant,
    It is a bit unclear how you have a project in Sharepoint AND a project in Project Server 2010.
    The basic process is :
    you have EPT, associated with a Sharepoint template
    You create from Project Server 2010 (project center) a project choosing an EPT
    a project plan (mpp) will be created, editable from PWA or MS Project Pro2010
    a Sharepoint site associated with the project plan will be created, based on the EPT WSS template
    In server settings, you can sync permissions between the project plan and the sharepoint site, and also check for the url and eventually update them.
    Hope this helps.

  • Create a mobile site in SharePoint 2010

    Hi,
    We have an Intranet publishing site in SharePoint 2010. 
    Currently we have shut off the mobile redirection, and let users interact with the full site on their mobile device.
    The new requirement is to extend this for mobiles without using the above approach. I found that using responsive grid we can modify the page layouts to be responsive. Hence thought of creating a seperate site collection with different pagelayouts.
    But this would mean recreating all the page layouts and content for new site collection. Also there would be some webparts which will have to display display data from different site collection.
    Can anyone please suggest a best approach for this issue.

    Follow these steps
    1) You can add a feature in your Project
    2) Open the feature and set scope to SITE, and give a feature title
    3) add your web part into this feature
    4) Now you can deploy the wsp in your destination site
    5) Once deployed, browse the site and go to site setting, site collection features, you will see your feature name here, you can active it
    6) Once activated, now you will be able to add your webpart on any web part or publishing page
    To ensure your webpart is installed, you can go to site settings -> web part gallary -> and see your webpart definition file should be available here

  • Sharepoint 2010 search service from C# web service and Powershell - passing credentials to search

    Good morning everyone,
    I really need your expert help about the following issue. I ve developed a web service in C#. Its core code has a Powershell script inside which makes a call to SharePoint 2010 search service to make some search queries, and returns some URL of some files. 
    In Powershell code I make connection to SharePoint search service using the Farm Admin account. This system works, but given results are not filetered by the user using the web service (I remember you I m using the Farm admin account in PS code)
    How can I use user account to make some queries ? How can I filter search results by user ? In Powershell code I put username and password of Farm Admin account and I know them because I m the farm administrator, but
    what about if I want to pass Powershell code some other user credentials ? Of course I cannot know his credential ..  Can I do it , in which way ?
    Any help is really appreciated !
    Gae 

    Hi Gae, if you are using web services, you shouldn't need to add a SharePoint DLL to your project. I would advise against using C# -> PS -> Web Service Call -> PS -> C# if you could go straight C# -> Web Service -> C#.
    Anyways, back to the matter at hand. Do you know what type of authentication your SharePoint server is running? Is it direct NTLM, NTLM over Kerberos, Claims, or something different?
    The following article provides the various types of impersonation available in SharePoint:

    AM: "Thanks for presenting multiple approaches to solve the problem. It would be good to see a second part describing the format file."
    DRC: "This is a good article which provides different ways to import the data to SQL, But this article needs some modifications. Suggestions: • It would be helpful, if mentioned on which version of SQL server and Visual studio scenario
    was tested • We might encounter errors while using the format files, for example we get the below error if the format file doesn’t have blank space (character ) at the end of each line Msg 4862, Level 16, State 1, Line 10 Cannot bulk load because the file
    "C:\temp\good.fmt" could not be read. Operating system error code (null). • So it will be helpful if you can provide a sample format file and TSQL script along with the possible output which can be tested and compared. • The sample query and the
    format file is not yielding the right output. Screenshots shown in the article has invalid values (for example ID coulmn has invalid values). Format file need to be fixed to get the right data. • The format file under section “Files With Text Qualifiers” is
    also invalid and the data is not imported properly. • Implementation of import using the SSIS package needs more details about how to make the delimiter consistent, Attaching a sample package would be helpful. "

    T-SQL: Random Equal Distribution
    Jinchun Chen: "Nice."
    JS: "The crucial thing about such a procedure is to check the data before the randomization and afterwards. You might encounter situations where "John Smith" and "John Meyers" might have exchanged their First names
    which is technically correct, but logically and obviously wrong. So make sure that there is one additional check afterwards that makes sure that eventual privicy concerns will not survive the random process. Normally this would not happen, but I have already
    checked this is one of my older blog entries, where we exactly had that problem obfuscating data to make that operational and live data will not be recognized afterwards. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jenss/archive/2009/04/08/when-is-random-random-enough.aspx In
    addition to this some attributes are sticky to each other like gender and First Name. You also have to make sure that your distribution might change statistically in relation to other attributes."
    Richard Mueller: "Very instructive. Perhaps the See Also section should have more links."
    Ed Price: "Great formatting and topic! Could benefit from more descriptions. Great article!"
    GO: "Naomi, your article is nice. Simple to understand the 'problem' and execute the 'solution""

    GO: "Great article, I enjoyed reading it. Thank you"

    JS: "For me not using this sort of things regularly, I don't see the problem and the benefit. I have no doubt that this is a brilliant explanations how to cope with a problem, but for me this is missing yet the red line. More pictures
    would be helpful describing the problem and outlining the results produced."
    Richard Mueller: "Needs more explanation, and perhaps an example. There should be links to relevant references."
    Ed Price: "Good job on the opening descriptions! Could benefit from breaking up and explaining the code more. Images and references would be helpful. Good article!"

    DataCleanUp() Function Implementation in MS SQL Server
    Jinchun Chen: "Good."
    JS: "-Does actually not work for Case senstive areas where I want to remoce certain Upper/lower case characters. This might be not interesting for some people, but is extremely important and relevant to other people. The limitation is
    that I can´t pass multiple values to be removed from the string, right ? Could this be implemented as well as many people wash out their data from unused / unimportant control characters. "I have tested it on a table which has got more than 11 Million
    rows and it executed fine returning the correct results. Since this is a scalar function you will notice decrease in performance." Once you want to maintain the old data and keep the new cleaned up one seperately, you could suggest something like persisting
    the data in a computed column which could be indexed and then help improving the performance. This would not be the case for any adhoc queries though."
    Richard Mueller: "Very clever and also very useful. There should be links to references, for example to explain the PATINDEX function."
    Ed Price: "Great job on this article! Very clear and well executed! See JS's comments for some thoughts about what's possible. Great article!"
    Manoj Pandey: "A good utility Function that I can use and tweak for my future needs, Thanks."

  • Add javascript to Out of the box Modal Dialogue Box in Sharepoint 2010.

    Hi,
    We have Sharepoint and Project Server 2010 SP-2 enviroment. We are using Project Server Timesheet for our managing Time logging.
    Project Server 2010 has "Add existing task" Modal Dialogue box in which I want to add "Javascript" code in order to sort the Project Server Timesheet Line Claasification listbox control in Ascending order.
    As you can see from below screenshot "Standard" the Out of the box timesheet line classification is coming at top and then our custom line classification coming.
    But I want to sort this list in ascending order so that this "Standard line classification can come at the bottom of the listbox control.
    Please suggest me how can I achieve this.
    Thanks much !!!
    Sachin Vashishth MCTS

    Thanks SaiRam from input, I can get JQuery for sorting the control over the internet no issue. I have to pass the ControlId in J-Query to sor the items in that control and I am not able to get the control id as it;s modalk dialogue box.
    Can you please explain further here, also let me know in case I am wrong in my understanding.
    Thanks !!!
