Sharepoint Foundation 2013 - Conditional formatting

Hey all,
I'm trying to pull of conditional formatting for the outcome of a "Yes or No" column within a Custom List, however all the searching I have done shows that it seems to have been removed in Sharepoint 2013 without using a Jquery (I'm having problems
getting my head around Sharepoint 2013 at the moment, dont want to add Jqueries to it as well lol).
Have I missed something stupidly easy? I have http://www.cdpdev.com/Blog/Post/7/Conditional-Formatting-in-SharePoint-2013 but it seems to be using Sharepoint
2013 with Sharepoint designer 2010 which I dont really want to have to do as the will be in time handed over the my 'manager' who will self manage and using 2 different pieces of software is kinda out of the question.
Regards
JB

Hey @ITechbrij
it seems the above post doesn't work for Sharepoint 2013 as I'm getting a syntax error but this maybe due to me not being able to find the formula box so put it into the "Column Validate" section as I'm missing the formula box that is shown in the 2010 screenshots.
If this is not possible what do you suggest? Going with the Sharepoint designer 2010 approach? As I cant find how to do it in 2013 and wouldn't know where the start with a jquery lol.

  • Sharepoint foundation 2013 collaboration - for a VERY small workgroup. Right choice???

    Hi!
    Let me start with a short background:
    I've developed an ASP.Net application which currently uses Apache Solr for search and retrieval operations and for that purpose it works well. However, the users of this application has started to ask for facilities such as discussion forums, document-collaboration
    (webdav, versioning, workflow...), calendars etc. and I'm faced with a feeling that I'm about to embark on a journey where I will develop functionality which is present in some of the "free" tools that Microsoft offers.
    I've downloaded Search Server Express 2010 and in a very short amount of time I was able to develop a rather, well, sophisticated collaboration environment which gives me almost all of the above. Search is a KEY-feature that is one of the major concerns
    for me as Solr provides alot of very sophisticated search-related operations but I've heard alot of good stuff about the Search Server included in SP Foundation 2013, which makes me wonder what that would give me if I take the plunge...
    I'm a complete newbie to this SP-related stuff so I thought I'd better ask the pros in this forum so I don't make any unwise decisions leaving me in the dust :)
    Soo, my dear fellow forum members - what would be the best way to go about this given the following facts:
    small workgroup (8 people)
    possibility to handle office-document, pdf-files and plain-text
    discussion forums (both team-based and public)
    team calendars
    possibility to provide, say, a REST-api for digesting text-based data
    powerful search facility able to index all of the document formats mentioned above
    I'm leaning towards SharePoint Foundation 2013... what do you say - will it provide the above?
    Many thanks to you all in advance,
    /Peter

    Simple answer: yes. SharePoint Foundation sounds like an excellent choice. There's one question that you'll need to answer: 8 people is not much, but how much data are they working with? That's probably not going to be an issue, but something you need
    to be aware of.

  • Sharepoint foundation 2013 "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed"

    Hi Sir/Madam,
    I try to connect the sharepoint foundation 2013 server by remote desktop recently using domain account, but it show the error message that mentioned in the subject. I can login the server using local account. Do I need to disjoin
    the domain then rejoin the domain? Will there be any risk if I do this? 
    My SharePoint environment as below:
    Primary domain : abc.local (DC : windows server 2012 standard R2)
    SharePoint : SharePoint foundation 2013 and SQL Standard 2012 installed on a single windows server 2012 standard (not R2, joined domain "abc.local)
    I tried this on DC > active directory user and compouter >right click Sharepoint pc > click reset > reboot sharepoint server, reboot sharepoint server but still cannot login using AD account
    I also tried netdom command and powershell command "Reset -ComputerMachinePassword" also failed to reset the password.
    Please help to resolve my problem. Thanks
    Jeffrey

    Go to Control Panel -> System -> under Computer Name, Domain, click Change Settings. Click on the Change button, then re-type the domain in the NetBIOS or FQDN format, which ever it is currently not set to. This will force a soft-join to the domain.

  • Duplicate Search Databases in SharePoint Foundation 2013 Farm

    I seem to have 2 seperate issues with Search within my SharePoint Foundation 2013 Farm. This is a new Farm, so I can remove the search service application and re-create if this is a way that can clear the 2 issues I am experiencing.
    Issue 1:
    For some reason I have 2 instances of the following search related DB's:
    SearchAdminDatabase
    SearchAnalyticsReportingDatabase
    SearchGathererDatabase
    SearchLinksDatabase
    1 instance of each of the databases all report database status of "No Action Required" and the other instance of all the DB's report a database status of "Not Responding".
    Issue 2:
    My search service application seems to be working fine as I am able to crawl content and retrieve results, however the DB's associted with this search service application are reported with the following warning within the SharePoint Health Analyzer. I have
    been unable to run the Upgrade-SPContentDatabase command against these databases as I get a message saying that the content database could not be found:
    Title
    Databases running in compatibility range, upgrade recommended.
    Severity
    2 - Warning
    Category
    Configuration
    Explanation
    The following databases have versions that are older than the current SharePoint software, but are within the backwards compatible range:
    Search_Service_Application_AnalyticsReportingStoreDB_a3c64b2f3b9b4a5d83383ec0b1ecfcf4,
    Search_Service_Application_CrawlStoreDB_ffb8d716450242cc849a7f44f521bfc9,
    Search_Service_Application_DB_0fe433c02db6435db85285e9fd83863e,
    Search_Service_Application_LinksStoreDB_75efb2f689cf49f19c98a5a8155e47b7.
    Remedy
    To achieve optimal results from these databases, use Upgrade-SPContentDatabase to upgrade Content databases, or psconfig.exe to upgrade other databases.  For more information about this rule, see "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142697".
    Kevin Evans

    At time people create search service application and delete it. SA is deleted but database were not deleted for some reason. so these might be those stale database. You can delete them if you want
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/tothesharepoint/archive/2011/12/19/find-active-databases-used-by-sharepoint-server-2010.aspx
    If you want a report of all of your SharePoint databases that includes the GUIDs and related property values, use the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.
    There are several Windows PowerShell cmdlets you can use to find all of the SharePoint databases and then print this report to a text file. The quickest and perhaps easiest cmdlet is “Get-SPDatabase”. Run this cmdlet in the SharePoint
    2010 Management Shell to list all of the SharePoint Server databases with properties for each one. From this potentially large list you can then obtain specific information such as the database ID by using additional syntax in your cmdlet. Similarly, also
    in the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell, run “Get-SPDatabase | Sort-Object
    disksizerequired -desc | Format-Table Name” and you will get a simple list of the names for each database. You can then print this list to a text file by adding, “| out-file c:\db.txt” to the end of the command. 
    For detailed information, see
    Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Server 2010,
    Database cmdlets, 
    Get-SPDatabase, and
    Get-SPContentDatabase.

  • How to customize SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow notification emails

    We have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow that sends emails when certain criteria are met. We have tried to customize the emails using SharePoint Designer, but the emails that are received are different.
    Ho do we configure SharePoint to send the emails formatted as we specified in the workflow?
    The emails we receive are all formatted like this:
    Subject:
    [Company Name Workflow] - [Item] has been assigned to you
    Content:
    Task assigned by [User Name] on [Date].
    To complete this task:
    1.    Review [Item].
    2.    Perform the specific activities required for this task.
    3.    Use the Open this task button to mark the task as completed. (If you cannot update this task, you might not have access to it. Click here to request access.)

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow notification emails.
    We’ll need to do a few things to replace SharePoint’s default notification with our own. The first thing we need to do is turn off SharePoint’s default notification. On the Workflow Tasks list, go the Advanced Settings and select
    No for Send e-mail when ownership is assigned. Then we need to create workflow to send email.
    There is an article for your reference, although it is about the SharePoint 2007, it still works for SharePoint 2013.

  • Sharepoint Foundation 2010 SP2 or SharePoint Foundation 2013

    Experts,
    I am installing FIM 2010 R2 SP1 on windows 2012.
    FIM Sync installed on server1.
    FIM Service installed on server2.
    Now I have to install:-
    FIM Portal on server3.
    With googling I understand that I need SharePoint Foundation 2013 or SharePoint Foundation 2010 SP2.
    Can anyone guide what would be the safe approach. I don't have any knowledge of SharePoint.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks,
    Mann

    Considering you would use it for FIM only, it doesn't really matter which version would you pick.
    If you want to implement FIM on Windows Server 2012 (or R2), just make sure that you install correct version of SharePoint (at least 2010 SP2)
    Keep trying If you found my post helpful, please give it a Helpful vote. If it answered your question, remember to mark it as an Answer.

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Treeview current navigation linking to wrong page

    Good day,
    We are having issues with the OOTB tree view for SharePoint Foundation 2013.
    The client has a document library with a folder structure. Clicking on the first level folder (Private) navigates you to the wrong url, but when you navigate to one of its child folders, by expanding the parent folder (Private) and THEN clicking on the parent

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 - March 2014 Update Issue - Need help

    We've just applied the SharePoint Foundation 2013 March 2014 Update, it always requires that we run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard at the end of install, but this time it's getting stuck at step 9 of 10 (the profile sync service cannot be
    started even as admin). Is anyone else having any issues with this update? Has anyone else applied it yet? Is anyone else planning to apply it?
    If anyone can help with advice on this I'd appreciate it.

    Hi,
    We can still access CA but sync will not start. Tried rebooting after the failed configuration and tried to run it again but it didn't work.

  • SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Search Configuration Issue - 2 App Servers and 2 Front-End Servers

    Hi, 
    We have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 with SP1 Environment. 
    In that, we have 2 Front-End Servers and 2 App Servers. In the Front-End Servers, the Search Service is stopped and is in Disabled state and in the 2 App Servers in One App Server, Search is Online and in another Search is Starting but goes to Stopped sooon
    after.
    Originally, we had only 1 App Server and we were running our Search Service and Search Service Application in that. Now since the index location became full and we were unable to increase the drive there, we added one more App Server and now the issue is
    Search is not properly getting configured in either of these App servers. What we want to do is run Search only in the new App Server, because we have a lot of storage space for Index locations here, but in the older App Server, not run Search at all.  We
    tried keeping the Search Service disabled and ran the below PowerShell Scripts, but none of the ones are working. These scripts are creating the Search Service Application, but the error of "Admin Component is not Online", "Could not connect
    to the machine hosting SharePoint 2013 admin component" is coming up.

  • Sharepoint Foundation 2013 People field wont save data

    Guys, having an issue with a list column. We have some columns that are Person or Group.  when we enter in a user, it finds it just fine saves it just fine. but if i come back into that list and edit some other field the Person or Group field is totaly
    cleared out. I don't know what is going on. we are using SharePoint foundation 2013.

    If you're using SharePoint 2013 April 2013 CU or higher, this is a known issue where the People data is missing in Edit view. There is a separate issue that is resolved in the September 2014 CU:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2995905
    Consider the following scenario:
    You create a SharePoint 2013 list that contains a Person or Group (people picker) column.
    You create or edit an item, and then you select a person whose name contains a comma in the Person or Group field.
    In this scenario, the value of the Person or Group field is lost when you save the item.

  • Sharepoint Foundation 2013 User field issue

    Guys, I have an issue with Sharepoint Foundation 2013 site that we have created some custom workflows for. We have a couple required fields that we type in a users name and it automatically pulls up a user based on Active directory. once we choose that name
    and then save the form. the field immediately becomes blank when i open the workflow item back up. I'm kind of at a loss. I've already totally hosed the server once and was forced to restore.  This seams to have started when we installed share point server
    patch KB2881077 but i cannot uninstall or roll back the patch as there is no option to.
    Thoughts?

  • Sharepoint Foundation 2013 is not Installing on Window 7

    When I click on 'Install Sharepoint Foundation" 2013 nothing happen. Same is issue with "Install Sharepoint Foundation Pr-Requisite"

    SharePoint 2013 does not support being installed on Windows client (Windows 7 or 8). Instead, try using a Virtual Machine running a supported Server OS. You can use VMware Player (free) on Windows 7, or if you have Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise, Hyper-V.

  • Sharepoint Foundation 2013 On a SBS 2011 Domain??

    I have an SBS 2011 domain with 2 servers(SBS2011 Premium) The SBS box acts as domain controller and the second server runs Server 2008R2 and has SQL 2008R2 on it for Dynamics GP and Dynamics CRM 2011 and hosts the Sharepoint Foundation 2010 Databases. Is
    there a way that I can setup a Sharepoint Foundation 2013 farm. Currently both boxes are farm members in the 2010 farm. I would like to keep the setup similar but if I have to can I just run the farm on the 2nd server. Will it live side by side with the Sharepoint
    2010 on the SBS box. What about Companyweb? Thanks in advance

  • Using Office Web Apps Server with SharePoint Foundation 2013

    I want to know whether I can configure Office Web Apps server to edit Excel documents on a SharePoint Foundation 2013 site.
    I came across a TechNet article that states that "When used together with SharePoint Server 2013, Office Web Apps Server provides updated versions of Word Web App, Excel Web App, PowerPoint Web App, and OneNote Web App".
    However, later in the same article, it states "If your organization licenses Office 2013 through a Volume Licensing program, you can enable Office Web Apps editing for SharePoint 2013 on-premises" (without mentioning Foundation or Server).

    Hi Lemesnil,
    The Office Web App server should support the Edit licenses for SharePoin Foundation 2013, Office Web App is free to
    download, you can also try installing and configuring in a test environment, see more from the below article applied to SharePoint Foundation 2013.
