SharePoint Online Drag and Drop to Quick Launch Links

Hello,
We're using a SharePoint document library to store invoices and an approval workflow to manage the approvals for payment. Once an invoice is approved and paid, they move the invoice into a Paid subfolder. Because there are a lot of invoices, the view
stretches across multiple pages. When they're not on the first page of the invoice list, they can't use the drag and drop functionality to move the invoice into the Paid folder because the Paid folder only shows up on the first page of the list.
I would like to be able to add a link to the Paid folder to the links on the left side of the window. I can add the link, and it works in that if you click the link it takes you to
Shared Documents\Paid. But if you try and drag a document to that link, it wants to place it in the root Shared Documents, giving you an error message that the file already exists in that location.
How can I create a quick link to a subfolder of Shared Documents that also allows drag and drop functionality?
Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam, here are a few solutions:
1. Use "Open with Explorer."
2. Use the Content Organizer to automatically move the documents.
3. Create a workflow to automatically move the documents.
4. Create another view or library on the same page with the Paid folder in it.
5. DON'T USE FOLDERS!
(sorry, they're a big pet peeve of mine because of all the problems they create. They're also completely unnecessary with only one exception.)

  • Sharepoint (email drag and drop)

    I would be grateful if someone could recommend a good drag and drop email program - we have just tested OnePlaceMail but this does not allow us to copy duplicate emails.  Any suggestions/recommendations gratefully received.

    We are able to

    Duplicate emails could be handled with ease including the file name management and meta data processing

  • Drag and Drop into quick collection

    Since 5.4, the only way I can add images to a quick collectoin is to set it as the target collection and use the B key or click the target collection icon on the image.  Before i could drag images from the grid of filmstrip just like any other collection, that no longer works.  I prefer to keep a different colleciton my target collection because the quick collecton is always at the top and easy to drag to.
    Seems like a bug?  Tried it on 3 different macs all running OS x 10.9.2

    Yes it does look like a bug. It works fine on all of my catalogs apart from the one that I use to sync with LR mobile....in that catalog it will work if I sign out of LR mobile, but breaks again when I sign back in.

  • Drag and drop samples for instant load and playback. MIDI SAMPLE PLAYBACK

    HI, i am looking for a application where I can drag samples in it for instant midi playback.
    I know logic has a way to do this through the ESX24, but the problem is there are multiple steps and it can takes around 1-3 minutes to finished the task.
    I am looking for something on a more "spend less time setting up" event. Basically an application where I can manual drag and drop for quick load. I would like to use the Roland Hand-sonic as my midi play back

    sonther, I've only tried the audiofinder out a little bit running in demo mode. I liked it ok, except that I thought I'd go and let it index my audio files, which took a very long time (fair enough, I have many).. but I didn't really see any great advantage from having done so. also I found that for some files it would give me a waveform overview, others it would say preview not available or something, even though they were the same format. maybe that was a demo limitation thing.
    but it did get me thinking about how much I'd like to work better with my audio in the finder.. I've hated the audio import and audio window management in logic for a while so I'm always looking for better ways to do things.
    ...then, I saw this:
    http://www.audioease.com/Pages/Soundabout/SoundaboutMain.html
    now, I just checked and the website is currently updating this page. but go back later until you see it back up. there was a QT demo video (complete with that generic dutch-english accent..), showing what looks to me like exactly the enhancements I've been looking for, to work much better with audio in the mac finder. and of course it's got a few things that I didn't even know I was looking for, but now I know.
    I'm hoping it gets released soon.. and I'm also hoping that it's not going to mess around with leopard when that comes out, because I have a feeling I am going to get very used to using this thing.
    even for things outside logic, like quickly rounding up my work in progress files to instantly convert to mp3 and AAC right there in the finder, and then automatically have it all placed in an email ready to go, it's going to make life a whole lot easier. especially when you've been working hard on a deadline project, the last thing you feel like doing is messing around keeping your work in progress files in order, prepping mp3s or whatever and emailing, after you've finished a long day at logic.. seriously, check out the video when it's back up..
    et dis-moi sonther, ça se fait comment que tu parles français? t es pô un ptit québecois par hasard?....

  • How to disable drag and drop feature for a document library?

    Hi
    How can I disable drag and drop feature for a document library? Do I have an option to disable it from the SharePoint's feature set?
    Or can I disable it using a script? If so, how?
    Regards
    Paru

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to disable drag and drop feature for a document library.
    Drag and drop in SharePoint 2013 is a feature that depends on HTML5, which requires version of browser, SharePoint by default doesn’t has feature to disable or enable this.
    You can try disabling the drag and drop feature by disabling an add-on in Internet Explorer, or
    using Internet Explorer 9 or lower.
    Here is a similar thread for your reference:

  • Drag and Drop e-mails to a SharePoint Online Folder

    Summary
    E-mail to a list is not available in SharePoint Online (yet) and it is difficult to move e-mails from Outlook to a SharePoint list for collaboration, storage and search.  The following steps will put a file on the users desktop that will open a SharePoint list and then you can drag and drop e-mails into the proper folder. 
    Step 1
    Create a drag and drop folder location for SharePoint Online e-mails
    1.       Go to your SharePoint Online shared documents location
    2.       Create the folder structure that you want for your e-mail storage
    3.       Click on your top folder
    4.       Click on Actions
    5.       Open with Windows Explorer
    6.       In the address bar at the top of the Explorer Window copy the address
    Step 2
    Go to Start, Computer
    1.       Click on Map Network Drive
    2.       Paste the address copied above into the Folder box
    3.       Check Reconnect at logon
    4.       Take note of the drive letter given or choose a drive letter
    *note these instructions are for Windows 7 – you can search help for Map Network Drive for the OS you are using
    Step 3
    Open Notepad
    1.       Type in the following:
    “explorer z:”  (leave out the quotation marks and enter the drive letter in step 2
    2.       Click File
    3.       Click Save As
    4.       File name OpenEmail.bat
    ·         Note the file name does not matter but the .bat has to be there
    ·         Save to the Desktop
    When a user wants to open the SharePoint location that stores e-mail they double click on OpenEmail.bat and it will open in an Explorer view which will allow for e-mails to drag and drop from Outlook into the folder.

  • Outlook email drag and drop to sharepoint task list

    We are using using Outlook 2007 (Soon to be switching to 2010) and Sharepoint Server 2010.
    We want to allow email drag and dropping which is accomplished through the folder list view.  However when doing this this it does not take the attachment.
    My question is, is this possible or do we need to develop an add-on for outlook?
    Thanks

    Neither be it SharePoint 2010 or SharePoint 2007, you can not do it without developing an add-on or writing additional code. Depending on your complexity of SharePoint, it is relatively easy to build an add-on if you only want to drag and drop Outlook email
    to SharePoint folder.
    SharePoint Outlook Integration add on is one of such tool which is functioning well if you have a small number of mails to transfer to SharePoint, but if you drag larger number of Outlook emails to SharePoint, it is quick slow to finish the whole process. 
    Good luck.

  • SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure with drag-and-drop

    Hello,
    When I activated "SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" future, I can no longer use drag-and-drop functionality between two libraries (eg. drag from Document Library to MyDoc library). When I disable it, drag and drop is possible.
    But I need both of this functionalities, because i use Managed navigation. What should I do?
    Thanks in advance,
    Tomaz

    Hi Tomaz,
    According to your description, I could reproduce this issue as:
    1. Create a web application with team site
    2. Create a new library called docA, upload a new document
    3. Then I could move the document to Document library with drag-and-drop feature
    4. Activate SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure
    5. I could not move the document from Document library to docA library with drag-and-drop feature
    6. Upload a new document to docA, then also could not move it to Document library with drag-and-drop feature
    Since you also want to use Managed Navigation, you can use Content and Structure feature to move a document from one library to another library. You can do as Site Settings->content and structure under Site Administration->clicking on the library,
    then you can move or copy the document to the destination library.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Drag and drop to iCloud drive online

    Can you or can you not drag and drop folders (with files in them) onto iCloud.com iCloud drive?  Apple's support pages say you can, but when I try, it says that "these types of files must be compressed".  So, I can drag and drop individual files but not a folder???  I'm only talking about the web version of iCloud drive, not dragging into the Finder window which obviously works.
    Someone please help!

    Nothing. It's nothing to do with PSE; this is a limitation of Photos, as is the loss of being able to use an external editor without exporting copies of your images.

  • How to drag and drop tab nodes between tab panes

    I'm working on example from this tutorial( Drag-and-Drop Feature in JavaFX Applications | JavaFX 2 Tutorials and Documentation ). Based on the tutorial I want to drag tabs between two tabs. So far I managed to create this code but I need some help in order to finish the code.
    Source
    tabPane = new TabPane();
    Tab tabA = new Tab();
       Label tabALabel = new Label("Main Component");
    tabPane.setOnDragDetected(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>()
                @Override
                public void handle(MouseEvent event)
                    /* drag was detected, start drag-and-drop gesture*/
                    System.out.println("onDragDetected");
                    /* allow any transfer mode */
                    Dragboard db = tabPane.startDragAndDrop(TransferMode.ANY);
                    /* put a string on dragboard */
                    ClipboardContent content = new ClipboardContent();
                    content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane);
                    db.setContent(content);
                    event.consume();
    What is the proper way to insert the content of the tab as object? Into the tutorial simple text is transferred. How I must modify this line content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane);?
    And what is the proper way to insert the tab after I drag the tab:
    Destination
    tabPane.setOnDragDropped(new EventHandler<DragEvent>()
                @Override
                public void handle(DragEvent event)
                    /* data dropped */
                    /* if there is a string data on dragboard, read it and use it */
                    Dragboard db = event.getDragboard();
                    boolean success = false;
                    if (db.hasString())
                        //tabPane.setText(db.getString());
                        Tab tabC = new Tab();
                        tabPane.getTabs().add(tabC);
                        success = true;
                    /* let the source know whether the string was successfully
                     * transferred and used */
                    event.setDropCompleted(success);
                    event.consume();
    I suppose that this transfer can be accomplished?
    Ref javafx 2 - How to drag and drop tab nodes between tab panes - Stack Overflow

    I would use a graphic (instead of text) for the Tabs and call setOnDragDetected on that graphic. That way you know which tab is being dragged. There's no nice way to put the Tab itself into the dragboard as it's not serializable (see https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-29082), so you probably just want to store the tab currently being dragged in a property.
    Here's a quick example; it just adds the tab to the end of the current tabs in the dropped pane. If you wanted to insert it into the nearest location to the actual drop you could probably iterate through the tabs and figure the coordinates of each tab's graphic, or something.
