Sharepoint online 2013

Hi
I have created custom list in sharepoint Public Site .Want to manage column level permissions for this list..If its a user only can view the particular columns.If its a admin can view all the columns..How
to done in a same page for admin access and user access .Admin will approve or reject the user submitted items.I plan to set audience targeting for admin view but cant find the navigation option or site settings option in a public site. And
also cant find content query webpart option in public site. Please understand my scenario clearly and help me for the same.Is there is any possibilities to set the column permission in public site ?
Need Immediate response for this

Column level permissions are not strictly speaking possible in SharePoint. If you have rights to read or edit any columns/fields for an item then that permission level is the same for all columns in that item. I don't know of a good solution that is fit
for use on SharePoint Online Public Sites.

SharePoint Online 2013 Workflows for one List stopped working after 07/08/2014

Our client host application in Office 365 SharePoint Online 2013, and we just found that all workflows for one list stopped working after 7, Aug 2014. It kept displaying pop-up message "Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start
the workflow." when manually start a workflow for this List.
Tested workflow for other list, there's no problem.
Could anyone can help on this issue?

Visio Web Access Refresh in SharePoint Online 2013

I'm trying to pull in SharePoint Online 2013 List data into a Visio Pro 2013 diagram and then serve the diagram into a SharePoint Online Page under a Visio Data Access Web Part.
I have no working knowledge of Visio, but made a data connection and presented SPO list data on my diagram. But the data appears to be static when deployed to the Visio Access Web Part - even when I manually refesh. I think, I'm not correctly
adding list fields to my document.
I've set refresh rates on both the document and the web part, but neither help.
For a demo I want to show a single list field - nothing fancy.
Possible to have dynamic data from an SPO List hosted in SPO?
Any way to filter which row is sent from through a URL Query string?
How?

Hi ,
Per the following article, the data sources will be disconnected and can't be refreshed after the Visio is published to SharePoint.
"You can publish PivotDiagrams or Timeline diagrams to SharePoint, but they are disconnected from the data sources and can’t be refreshed."
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/visio-help/save-diagrams-to-sharepoint-HA102749359.aspx
And also I would suggest you post in Office365 SharePoint online forum for a better assistance regarding this issue through the following link.

What are the possibilities and limitation of using Out of the box content search webpart on SharePoint Online 2013/O365 ?

Hi All,
We are migrating from on-premise SharPoint 2010 to SharePoint online 2013.
I have few questions below:
What are the possibilities and limitations of using Out of the box content search webpart?
Also, how the cross site publishing will work in SharePoint online something with managed navigations and product catalog apporach? if it is not supported, then what are the alternatives to acheive the same?
Appriciate any commnets/clarifications.Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Dhananjay.

Here are the possibilities of Content search webparts
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/configure-a-content-search-web-part-in-sharepoint-HA104119042.aspx
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/when-to-use-the-content-query-web-part-or-the-content-search-web-part-in-sharepoint-HA104206662.aspx
Compare the strengths and limitations of the Web Parts
It’s important that you understand the strengths and limitations of the two Web Parts because if you choose the wrong one, your site could run into performance problems. You can use both Web Parts to show content that is based on a query. In a simplified
world, here’s how you can decide between the two:
Use the CQWP when you have a limited amount of content, your query is simple, and you don’t expect your content to grow much in the future.
Use the CSWP in all other scenarios when you want to show content that is based on a query.
The table below gives a comparison of the two Web Parts:
Web Part behavior
Content Query Web Part
Content Search Web Part
Query configuration
Easy
You’ll need to know about certain search features such as
managed properties.
Query across large amounts of content
Limited
Yes
Handle complex queries

It was not there previously but then it was added to Office 365

SharePoint online 2013 event receiver error

I am currently working on a SharePoint online project. My code generates 6 documents in 6 different document libraries along with other metadata. When I save data to a List, the event receiver fires and creates all the 6 documents. But sometimes it stops creating
the 6 documents and left with 1 or 2 documents. Sometimes documents has been created but without any metadata.
The same code is working fine in my on-premises environment, but it sometimes breaks in the Office 365 environment. I also created a log list to track the issue as we cannot debug in Office 365. In the log list I found a error message saying "Thread was
being aborted." Below is my code. please help it is happening only in Office 365 environment.

Workflow in SharePoint Online 2013

Is is possible to have dynamic workflow in Sharepoint?
I want to create a workflow using visual studio or designer and the levels of approval in workflow will be controlled by a list. If the list contains 5 levels of approvers, workflow should be able to build 5 levels at runtime. If possible then, whether possible
in SharePoint online.
I am little new to Visual Studio workflow and office 365.
Please help.

Hi Arun,
Thanks for posting your query, Kindly browse the below mentioned URL to achieve multiple level workflow, it uses Recall function to call workflow multiple times

How to convert word documents to html page in sharepoint online 2013

Hi,
I am new SharePoint and still learning it.
I have been tasked to do the following on office 365 E3 SharePoint 2013 Online edition.
1) I have to create a Web page in asp.net
2) This page needs to show document from a given SharePoint folder and bind them in a grid or dropdown on the asp .net web page
3) On selecting the document from the drop down or gird (on asp .net webpage), I need to show the SharePoint word document as HTML on the webpage (something like word to html) Note: These SharePoint word document may contain Images, bullets, tables etc.
What I have been able to do till now
1) I have been able to connect to SharePoint from ASP .net application.
2) I have been able to retrieve document from a specific SharePoint folder.
3) Read the document from SharePoint folder and bind them to a drop down on the asp .net page.
What is missing?
I am not aware about any API that SharePoint Online provides to convert Word document to HTML. Any code sample or reference on how to will be much appreciated.
I am not also not sure what is the best way of achieving the functionality this?
Thanks
Krishna

If this was SharePoint server then it would be easy however in O365 You need to create a app which will use the word automation service and below is powershell which you can use for the conversion:-
# This script will convert Docx to PDF using word automation and similarly it can be used to convert to HTML
$wordFile="http://contoso/kick.docx"
$pdfFile="http://contoso/kick.pdf"
$wasp = Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy | where { $_.TypeName -eq "Word Automation Services Proxy" }
$site = Get-SPSite "http://contoso"
$ConvertJob = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Conversions.SyncConverter($wasp)
$ConvertJob.UserToken = $site.UserToken
$ConvertJob.Settings.UpdateFields = $false
$ConvertJob.Settings.OutputFormat = "PDF"
$ConvertJob.Convert($wordFile, $pdfFile)

Display xls-files in browser (Sharepoint online 2013)

I've seen this question answered with "xls is not supported" several times, but according to
this page viewing should now be supported:
Excel 97- Excel 2003 Workbook (.xls) or Excel 97- Excel 2003 Template (.xlt)
If a workbook is in .xls or .xlt format, you can typically view but not edit a workbook in a browser window. When the file is edited, it is saved in .xlsx or .xltx format.
I can't get it to work though, has anyone of you been able to open a xls-file in the Excel web app?

Hi ,
According to your description, I tested in my SharePoint Online and get the same result.
If you hover over drop down, if you don't see view in browser then the file can't be opened in browser. So .xls file doesn't seem to be supported.
I recommend that you open the file in Excel 2010 or Microsoft Excel 2013, and then save the file as one of the supported formats. The following table shows the recommended file formats for the Excel 2013
Web App.
Product
File format
Microsoft Excel 2013 Web App
Excel Workbook (*.xlsx) Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (.xlsm)

Hi,
Here is a blog about how to connect CRM and SharePoint for your reference:
Connecting SharePoint Online and CRM Online using BCS - 2013 Edition
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/girishr/archive/2013/05/13/connecting-sharepoint-online-and-crm-online-using-bcs-2013-edition.aspx
We can also use Client Object Model or REST API to add data into SharePoint List in other web application.

How to create a site template with subsites on SharePoint Online (2013, wave 15)

I need to create a site template of a site that contains 4 subsites.
I have tried saving the parent site as a "site template", but when i create a new site based on this template, I don't get any of the subsites created.
Anyone knows why the subsites are not included in the template?
Thank you!
José

That is by design. Site templates are a template for a specific site within a site collection and never include sub-sites. In an On-premises environment you could create a Portal Site Template, but this won't work in SharePoint Online. To
build something equivalent in SharePoint online you would either need to use a Sandbox solution or custom client side code.

Sharing anonimously a site in Sharepoint online 2013

Hi,
I have created a subsite under the url https://mydomain.sharepoint.com/sites/mysite. It is a blog.
I want to allow anonymous users (sending them a link) to access the site but I can't figure out the way to do that.
I can do that with a document (sending an anonymous link) but not with a site. Is it possible that Microsoft do not permit that?
I don't want to ask users to registrate a Microsoft account.
Any help welcome. Thanks in advance.

It is not possible to provide anonymous access to a SharePoint site in SharePoint Online. Instead you need to create the "Public Site" which has very limited functionality, but is anonymous accessible.
The only option is to share with "external users", as you stated, using a Microsoft Account.

Convert Word documents to PDF with SharePoint Online 2013 - C#

We have a client with a requirement to automatically create a PDF copy of a Word document when the Word doc hits a major version.
I am aware there are third party apps for this, but we'd prefer to develop this ourselves.
Word Automation Services is not available in SharePoint Online, so we do not have that option.
We'd prefer not to use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word as we'd then need a client running with MS Word.
It would seem like the CSOM Microsoft.SharePoint.Client would be able to do this somehow. I'd imagine that's how the third party apps are accomplishing this. However I'm not seeing specifically how to save to PDF via CSOM.
Can anyone provide insight on how to accomplish this programatically?
Thanks

Hi Mr. Craig,
you can create provider hosted app and use the below thread
