Sharepoint Foundation 2013 - Tasks

Hello,
I have created a new Teamsite in SharePoint Foundation 2013, I added a Task content.
My scope is to give to the users the possibility to create and manage their own tasks.
The problem is that any task that the administrator creates and then assigns to a person, this task can be updated from all the users that are belong to this site.
I want the task to be completed/changed only via the person that is assigned to.
I have try a lot of scenarios regarding the permissions but without positive result.
Now all the users can manage all the tasks that are created in the site.
Please advise

Hi exc, besides item-level permissions (which you tried), I'd suggest either creating content types based on the user, then assign permissions based on the content type. Or using a drop off library and have the tasks routed to a "personal user"
list where only the individual user has permissions.

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.

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.

Custom SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflows

Hi
I have created a custom workflow in my SharePoint Foundation 2013 environment using SharePoint Designer 2013. I have a couple of questions:
1. I have used the action 'Collect data from user' which is automatically sending emails to task assignees, however I need
to customize these emails, is this possible? If so, could someone point me in the right direction for instructions on how
to do this please?
2. With the 'Collect data from User' and 'Send an email' actions, is it possible to include html code in the body of the
emails?

Absence and Vacation Tracking in SharePoint Foundation 2013

We upgraded from Sharepoint Foundation 2010 to SharePoint Foundation 2013. The absence and vacation template no longer works. Does anyone know of a free replacement?

We ended up just creating a workflow that emails the necessary information whenever an item is added or changed to the list. Doing this avoids the default notification email ("A task has been assigned...") altogether. It is also much more straightforward
than using "if then" and "what if" type statements.
We found this webpage to be a good starting point to creating both the list and associated workflow:
http://camerondwyer.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/implementing-a-simple-sharepoint-issue-tracking-system-with-cc-style-notification-emails-when-items-are-updated
To automatically add approved vacation days to a calendar:
1. Open the list
2. Click Create View, then click Calendar View
3. Name the calendar, set time intervals, etc.
4. Set "Show items only when the following is true" so that Vacation Request Status (or whatever you chose to call it in your list) "is equal to" "Approved" (or whatever you chose to call it).

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
folder, it navigates to the right url.
See attatched screenshots:

Any update on this? Sorry for the hassle, guessing it's a SharePoint bug?

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.

Hi Karthick,
For your issue, could you provide the

For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at

For troubleshooting your issue, you can try to run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard on your WFE servers and run the script for configuring the search service on SharePoint

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.
