SharePoint 2013 names for custom lists

I have the following to mention about changing the name of a custom list for SharePoint 2013.
1. In my test SharePoint area the person that is our 'admin' for SharePoint, went to the 'recent' area of my test area in quick launch and changed the name of my Custom list. The features like email messages did not work at the point.
2. I then went to list settings on the test website, and changed the name of the custom list to match the name my 'SharePoint' admin changed the name to. I reran my test workflow, and the features started to work again like the email messages.
**Note: Myself and the SharePoint 'admin' person at my company have only worked with sharepoint 2013 for 3 weeks.
Thus can  you tell me relationship of changing the name of the custom list in the 'quick launch' area versus changing the name is the list settings? Do both areas need the values changed?

Your observation is currect
Quick Launch name change actually change name in navigation item (site settings -> navigation) which don't change anything on actual list. That is just a "text to display"
If you change actual list name from settings it should impact Quick Launch if "Display this survey on the Quick Launch?" Set as Yes from list general settings
I will suggest you to explore,
site settings -> navigation

  • SharePoint 2013 access to custom lists a user creates

    In an InfoPath custom list form 2013, I have setup a group of test users with 'view' access to my test SharePoint website. These users are able to enter data in a custom list.
    When the user looks at the data that they originally entered by accessing the data from the sharepoint website, the InfoPath Form looks like the form is read only. However if the user clicks the auto generated edit buttons on the top of the form, they are
    able to change the data in the list.
    Basically I would like a way for the user to not be able to change the original data in the custom list.
    Is there a way that I can accomplish this goal like:
    1. disable the autogenerated buttons,
    2. have all the textboxes set as read only,
    3. change some kind of an access level?
     Would you let me know what method works and how to accomplish my goal?

    In InfoPath Designer go to File, Info, Form Options.
    In the Web Browser category uncheck Show InfoPath Commands in Ribbon or Toolbar.

    MCTS Sharepoint 2010, MCAD dotnet, MCPDEA, SharePoint Lead

    Hi Amit,
    What error did you meet when you used the OOB ‘Send Email’ action?
    I suggest you fix the error rather than creating a new workflow ‘Send Email’ activity.
    Of course, you can also customize a workflow activity to send email, there are two acticles about creating a custom workflow activity for your reference:

    Go to SE16 transaction enter the table KNVV then execute system will give the all customer which are maintaining sales area data.

    Fast CPU!
    32 GB of RAM (24 GB minimum, but 32 highly recommended)
    500 GB of space

  • Sharepoint 2013 - Search for link names on a single page

    Hi
    I am messing around with SP13 and trying to get my search result web part to only search for link names and display all results.
    I have created the search source to point at the sub site. If I search for part of a link name it will list all links in one long row as a single result.
    Example: One single page contains all links. Each link points to a .aspx page. The search source is pointing at this page and it can display results but only as a single result containing all links as one line of text.
    Say I have 1000+ links of which 50 has names such as Link1-Item1-Basket1, Link1-Item1-Basket2 up to Link1-Item1-Basket50.
    When I search for Link1-Item1 I would like my search results to display 50 results as 50 individual links.
    Is this possible?

    Hi,
    Yes, you can format the search results as you expected.  But you have to create a custom display template to format your results such as extract the links from each results and display it as separate link.
    Once display template created you have to map the display template to your search results web part.
    Please refer to the following articles.

  • SharePoint 2013 permissions for each user

    I am working on my own SharePoint 2013 test site and I need to grant permission to the test accounts. I want to make certain the 3 test accounts can not see the lists, files, and workflows that the other users created.
    Do I need to grant permission at the site level, user level, custom list level, for each workflow, and/or for each custom form? Do I invite each user and/or 'share' with each user? Can you tell me and/or point me to a source that will tell me what level
    of permission I need and how to grant this type of permission?

    Wendy,
    In sharepoint, you can grant permission at any level you want. That permission will carry forward by default until someone break them and configure unique permission.
    In ideal case, we recommend to use share security group to grant permission and not grant to individual user. Also try to restrict 2 default site group (Owner/member/viewer) as much possible, but in reality ppl break these rule often and eventually end up
    with maintenance overhead.
    I will recommenced you and everyone to go through this nice ppt which clears sharepoint permission idea in our mind.

  • SharePoint 2013 error while opening listing page

    Dear All,
    I have upgraded my SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013.
    Currently I m facing problem whenever I click on any list pages (eg. Press Release) on Sharepoint 2010 and 2013 application.
    Attaching the error message. Please help.

    Is there any custom code used in the master page or other pages?
    I'd suggest you open the PR_listing.aspx page in SharePoint designer and then do a search for "ServerContext" and if you get a match, then you or a developer will need to update the code to use the SPServiceContext approach instead.
    If you don't get a match on ServerContext then you'll need to look at what custom controls are being used - and if I were you I'd comment each one out until the page loads.

  • Replace Default "New" / "Edit" Forms for Custom List

    Having created a web page that is just simple HTML with JScript to bring it "to life" in SharePoint designer, how can I cause SharePoint 2010 to present this page for the "New" action? Or for the "Edit" action?
    This page is not associated with the Master Page/Content paradigm.  It is at WebSite/Lists/TheTargetList/TheTargetForm.aspx
    When I show the list properties tab for this list in Designer, and go to the "Forms" section (subtitled "Forms are used to display and edit data contained within this list"), and click the "New..." button at the right of
    that section's title bar and fill in the Title with the title of my file, I cannot add the file.  (The bread crumbs at the top say "Site > Lists and Libraries > ListName > ")
    Alternately, I go to the bottom of the tab's page, and select the link "Item" under Content Types (the choices being "Item" and "Folder").
    Then the bread crumbs say "Site > Lists and Libraries > ListName > Content Types > Item >"
    In the "Forms" section, I try to put the fully qualified name of the page I have created (my ..aspx file) in the "New Form:" or "Edit Form:" areas, after having clicked the "<click to enter text>" links.
    This lets me save that change, but destroys the web site's ability to show anything when I try to go to New or Edit — essentially "File not found."  The same if I provide only the file name,
    not fully qualified.
    So, if I have "Site/Lists/List/XYZ.aspx," and if that file is like:
    <html>
    <head>
    <script> . . . </script>
    </head>
    <body> . . . <br /> . . . </body>
    </html>
    How can I get this file to be opened as the "New" or "Edit" form for the list?

    Hi  BrianWren ,
    According to your  description, my understanding is that you want to present a web page as the New Form page.
    For achieving your demand, you need to create custom form using Visual Studio instead of SharePoint Designer.
    Here is a good blog you can have a look:

  • SharePoint 2013 edit for date

    In an InfoPath 2013 form that uses a custom list, I want to be able to create an edit for a date. This would occur when the user does not use the date picker but uses enters a value. If the user enters a value that is not a valid date, InfoPath will show
    there is a problem.
    However I need to generate a custom error message saying the date is an invalid date format. I know that I can use some kind of a regular expression, but I do not know what regular expression to use. I know the internal storage for the date is different
    than what is displayed by InfoPath.
    Thus can you show me what custom edit pattern I can use to edit a date field?

    1. xdUtil:Match, - InfoPath syntax for pattern match
    2. dfs:dataFields/my:SharePointListItem_RW/my:DateCreated? - They are way of extracting inner xml from infopath xml with is fields name.(italics)
    See these links to learn how to do pattern match validation in infopath.

  • SharePoint 2013 Workflow for MDS 2012 - Sample Code

    Hi All, I want to integrate MDS 2012 with SharePoint 2013 workflow. I have read the whitepaper on this integration but I am looking for code samples on SharePoint 2013 workflow which can be used for this as I am not much into SharePoint development. If
    not the source code, any good blog links to achieve this integration?
    Thanks, Ashish Singh

    If you want to avoid the SharePoint development, then use a custom IWorkflowTypeExtender and interact with SharePoint using the Lists OData service.  That way your code runs on the MDS server, and you don't have to deploy custom code to SharePoint. 
    You would simply add an item to an existing or purpose-built SharePoint list, and that could kick off a standard list workflow (which can be built without custom code).
    Otherwise you need to create a custom SharePoint Site Workflow in Visual Studio, and deploy it to SharePoint (yuck). Per:

  • Worklow 2013 locking a custom list

    In a SharePoint 2013 workflow I have a custom list where I am having users submit to the workflow. Once the user submits the custom list to the workflow 2013, I do not want users to be able to make changes to the custom list. I basically want to 'lock' the
    custom list so the user cannot make changes. I do not want to disable buttons unless I need to since I am using the auto generated buttons submitted by SharePoint.
    I am going to use 'declare a record (mark a record)' and not the app model to raise security levels. I am not picking the app model since you will not know who actually changed the record if most of the code that I need to execute would be in the app
    model or impersonate step.
    Thus can you tell me the following:
    1. Am I correct about the app model or impersonate? If not, can you tell me what facts I am incorrect about?
    2. Can you tell me how to 'declare a record (mark a record)'? Basically I am on my own test SharePoint 2013 website and I am thinking of activating this feature.

    Hi Wendy,
    #1. The App Step runs with the app permission which has full control by trusting the workflow and the Impersonationstep runs the actions inside the step as the user who authored the workflow.
    When elevating permissions for a workflow isrequired, then we can consider to use app models and impersonation step.
    For your issue, you just want to make the users not be able to edit the items, then you can use declare as a record instead of changing the permissions of the users.
    #2. To be able to use Declare as a record function, we need to enable In Place Records Management feature in Site Collection Features.
    Go to Site settings page of the root site > Site collection features.
    After that, we need to go to the List settings page and then click Record declaration settings and select Always allow the manual declaration or records. Then we can use that feature.
    Thanks,
    Victoria
