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?

Restrict Which Users Can Enter Data In List Form in SharePoint Foundation 2013

Is there a way to restrict which users can enter data in particular fields in a list item entry form?
We are using a SharePoint Foundation 2013 list and calendar to manage vacation time. We need to restrict non-supervisor users users from entering a value in a certain field in the vacation request form.
Here is how the system works now:
1. Employees complete the vacation request form (which creates a list item)
2. An email is sent to their supervisor to either approve or decline the request
3. Approved requests are automatically entered onto the vacation calendar
We have restricted the list so that only supervisors can edit items (the pending vacation requests). The problem is that all users can mark their own requests as approved when they fill out the request form in the first place. Is there a way to restrict
which users can enter data in particular fields on a list item entry form?

Thanks for the suggestion. We ended up 1) hiding the approval column and 2) creating a second list, workflow, etc. The user no longer sees the approval column when filling out the form. Requests are now submitted to list A. Workflow #1 copies the request
to List B, then deletes the item from List A. Once the request is added to List B, Workflow #2 emails the user that the request has been received and emails the supervisor that a request needs to be approved. Only supervisors have editing permissions on List
B. Approved requests are automatically added to the vacation calendar (the calendar view of List B).
We found the following site to be helpful in learning how to hide the list column:

SharePoint Foundation 2013 Data Storage

I want to install SharePoint Foundation in my company for SharePoint Collaboration purpose. I want to know is there any limitation to store data in SharePoint Foundation. If Yes then how much data (in GB) I can store in SharePoint Foundation 2013.

SharePoint use SqlServer for its database and all Sql limitation will apply on SharePoint like MaxFile size is 2GB, Max DB size etc.
Please refer Software boundaries and limits for SharePoint 2013 and check for content database section.
One can create multiple WebApp, Site Collection to segrigate the content.

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 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
Joe Powers

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - report / chart / Graph for Employee vacation.

In SharePoint Foundation 2013 I want to create a report / chart / Graph for Employee (Employee Id,Employee Name & Department) which will show month wise from which date to which date Employee are on vacation in particular department.
I'm thinking to create one List where where user will enter there vacation details and from that list report I will create chart / Graph Department wise to check the Employees availability.
Please provide some good example or idea in detail for this.

Hi,
Chart Web Parts are useful for visually representing data in line charts, bar charts, and other views. Charts enable you and other users to view performance information at a glance.
In SharePoint 2013, chart web part is one of the discontinued features. We usually use Excel Service to replace it, however, Excel Service is only available in Enterprise edition, so we need to figure out coding methods or third party tool if you are using
Foundation edition.
Here are some links for workaround in your situation, please check if they can be help:

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - Master Pages

I am trying to create a SharePoint Intranet site but am quickly running into a number of issues and am looking for help.
I need to create a site that has multiple subsites (one for each department) however all of the subsites need to have a consistent look and feel about them so I have delved head long into branding, creating master pages, etc. I have set-up a
master page, with a logo and icon, I would like this to cascade down to all subsites and pages below however I have no option to set this up.
Is this a limitation of using foundation? What other limitations are there to foundation that I need to be aware of?
There also doesn't seem to be any visual designer, what do people use and what would people recommend to use?
I am sure there will be a number of other questions that I need to ask but these will do for starters.

Matt

SharePoint Foundation 2013 Web Analytics

Problem:
I am using SharePoint Foundations 2013 (no patches) and trying to get Web Analytics working but running into difficulty. The error I am getting is the dreaded, "A web analytics report
is not available for this site. Usage processing may be disabled on this server or the usage data for this site has not been processed yet.", when I click on Site Settings -> Site Web analytics reports
Items completed:
Enabled Site Usage and data collection in Central Admin.
Logs are full of data in the hive
I can see the data in dbo.requestusage in the WSS logging database.
Possible problem is that Web Analytics has been deprecated in SharePoint 2013 however why would Microsoft have Web analytics link if it was deprecated.
Question:
How can I get Web Analytics to show data or has it been completely removed from SharePoint Foundations 2013 and the link is just there for frustration?
Jay

We’re having the same Problem.
According to the following links, “Usage Analytics” and “Usage Reporting and Logging” are
available in SharePoint Foundation 2013:

http://blog.blksthl.com/2013/01/14/sharepoint-2013-feature-comparison-chart-all-editions/
Are they wrong?
I don’t mean the search related Reports (Most Popular Items), I mean the very simple Reports like

SharePoint Foundation 2013 Managed Account.

Hi all,
I have a doubt, I want to register a new managed account in SharePoint Foundation 2013, My question is do I need to know the password of active directory user account which I am going to add as the Managed account.
is it that the password which I enter while creating the managed account must match with the password of Active Directory user Account. Below is the screen shot in which there is a field for username & password. I know the UserName, can we assign any
password to this or the password must match with the password given in AD.
Please clear my doubts.
Thanks.

Adding more information :
A Managed Account is effectively an Active Directory user account whose credentials are managed by and contained within SharePoint. In addition to storing the credentials of the object, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 can also leverage Active Directory
Domain Policies to automatically reset passwords while meeting the requirements established by policy.
How credentials are stored…
Managed Account credentials are encrypted using a farm encryption key that is specified when you run PSConfig[ui].exe at farm creation based on the passphrase. The passphrase is stored in a secure registry location so that it can only be accessed by the
farm account and encrypted so that only the farm account has access

SharePoint Foundation 2013 Prerequisite installer keeps installing and restarting the server

Hi,
I'm trying to install SharePoint foundation 2013 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1.
I already install SQL Server 2012 SP1 and TFS 2013 on the server.
I don't have internet connection on the server so i install the next prerequisites manually:
SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 Native Client
Microsoft WCF Data Services 5.0
Microsoft Information Protection and Control Client (MSIPC)
Microsoft Sync Framework Runtime v1.0 SP1 (x64)
Windows Identity Extensions
Windows Identity Foundation (KB974405)
Windows Management Framework 3.0
Then I ran the prerequisitiesInstaller.exe from command line -
prerequisiteInstaller.exe /appfabric:[Full AppFabric Installer path] /KB2671763:[AppFabric update path]
the prerequisiteInstaller start to run - after some steps it request for server restart, after the server upload the installer start again and after some steps it request for server restart.
This loop is never ending.
I tried to do some action to fix this issue:
http://spreza.blogspot.co.il/2013/05/sharepoint-2013-prerequisite-keeps.html
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/bccdb9f1-dd91-4db1-bd19-6bfa658727f5/sharepoint-server-2010-setup-keep-asking-for-reboot?forum=sharepointadminprevious
There is any reason or solution for this scenario?

Have you checked the log to see at what point and what update is requiring the re-boot? I suspect one of your manually installed pre-requisites may be an older version and when it restarts it starts the regular automated installer, which is causing
the loop. Check the log for more specific errors. The installer creates the log in the following location %TEMP%\prerequisiteinstaller.<date>.<time>.log

SharePoint Foundation 2013 error after March 2013 PU

Hi all!
i have SharePoint Foundation 2013, install March 2013 PU but now i can't edit webpart pages that have a search webpart. Then i install the SP1 too, but the issue continue. Any idea?
I read about the SP1 problem, but i installed the lasted update.
the errror on the IE developer tool says that SCRIPT5009: 'WebForm_OnSubmit' is undefined
Its only when i put a search webpart on page.
thanks

Hi all,
I had to open a MS case to resolve this issue.
I going to explain the problem and the resolution for you.
Our SharePoint time zone is Caracas (-4:30)
Our SharePoint language was Spanish (Venezuela)
This was part of the page code before install the upgrade:
var _spRegionalSettings={adjustHijriDays:0,calendarType:1,firstDayOfWeek:0,firstWeekOfYear:0,localeId:2058,currentDateInLocalCalendar: new Date(2014, 5, 27),showWeeks:0,timeZone:'-04:30:00.0001171',timeZoneInHours:-4.5,workDayEnd:1020,workDayStart:480,workDays:'0111110',time24:0};…
And after the upgrade:
var _spRegionalSettings={adjustHijriDays:0,calendarType:1,firstDayOfWeek:1,firstWeekOfYear:2,localeId:3082,currentDateInLocalCalendar: new Date(2014, 5, 27),showWeeks:0,timeZone:'-04:30:00.0005463',timeZoneInHours:-4,5,workDayEnd:1020,workDayStart:480,workDays:'0111110',time24:1};…
So for this thing all script failed.
In our case I noticed when added any search webpart.
So the resolution:
Change the language to Spanish (Mexico) or some language where the decimal separator wasn’t a coma “,”
I hope this help.
Thank you Victoria.

Any ideas what could cause this problems?

Hi Reinhard ,
According to your error message, it says that no data is available after encoding the social notification mail message. It should be caused by the E-Mail encoding setting.
For troubleshooting your issue, please check the character set of your E-Mail Settings:
Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a member of the Farm Administrators group.
On the Central Administration Home page, click System Settings.
On the System Settings page, in the E-Mail and Text Messages(SMS) section, click Configure outgoing e-mail settings.
On the Outgoing E-Mail Settings page, make sure
Character set setting is 65001(Unicode UTF-8).

SCSM 2012 R2 Self Service Portal is supported on Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation 2013 Sp1 or not

Hello,
I have a requirement to install Self Service Portal on one dedicated Server and found that Both the Web Content Server and SharePoint Web Parts can be installed on single Server. I want to use Microsoft Sharepoint 2010 Foundation Server as
it is free but it is not supported on Windows Server 2012 R2.
My query are -
Can we use Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2013 Sp1 for the same purpose.
Can we install Both the Web Content Server and SharePoint Web Parts on One Computer for Self Service portal
I was referring the below link which says that Sharepoint 2013 is not supported, does it mean for Sharepoint foundation 2013 Sp1 is also not supported.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=24983
Please help.
Thanks,
Ankur

for background, there are actually three parts here. there is a SharePoint team site, there is the content distribution website, and there is the data access website. the data access and the content website are almost always collocated on the same servers,
since they are both IIS virtual directories. the sharepoint team site is packaged for 2010, but it's been
successfully installed on 2013 without problems.
you have a couple of options:
you can put all three web componets on the same server by using foundation 2010
you can put all three on the same 2013 server using the method above
you can put the two iisvds on a server and install the team site using the method above
you can install the content and data access services on a separate server, and then install a scrap foundation SharePoint and export out the team site and import it into your existing SharePoint site

Crawl Health Reports in Sharepoint Foundation 2013 Farm

I am getting the following error within a newly build SharePoint Foundation 2013 Farm. I would like to know how I go about resolving this issue:
When browsing to Central Admin --> Search Administration --> Crawl Health Reports, I receive the following error:
Sorry, something went wrong
Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "Resources.MossChart.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "App_GlobalResources.kbifvsaw" at compile time, or

I suspect that both errors have the same root cause, but I could do with some assistance in resolving this. Do I need to install some Microsoft Chart Controls by any chance? I am assuming that as the links are there in SharePoint Foundation, that they should
be working within this edition of SharePoint.
Kevin Evans

Hi Kevin,
According to your error message, please make sure "Resources.MossChart.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "App_GlobalResources.kbifvsaw”, it seems like that mosschart.resx
and mosschart.en-US.resx missing or bad of the error web site.
To correct the problem you can manually deploy the resource files to the correct IIS Virtual Directory location. To deploy the resource files manually following the steps below.
1. Navigate to 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\15\CONFIG\Resources'
2. Copy the files 'mosschart.resx' and 'mosschart.en-US.resx'.
3. Navigate to the IIS Virtual Directory of your SharePoint website
4. Paste 'mosschart.resx' 'mosschart.en-US.resx’ into the Virtual Directory's App_GlobalResources folder
5. Perform an IISRESET
6. Refresh your page.
