Showing item created date in custom alert template

Hi,
I'm working on customizing the sharepoint alert templates for my site collection.
I got good info on net regading the modifications to be made. But unfortunately, I couldn't fine info about showing the
Created Date column of the item.
I need to show the item created data and modiifed date vlaues in my alert email,
I've 'TimeStamp' property which shows the modiifed date. But Im not getting equivalent property for created date.
I've tried the below options
NewValue#Created
NewValue#ItemCreated
OldValue#Created
DisplayName#Created
None of them are showing hte created date of item.
There is one attribute 'RawValue' which is giving the created date. but it's display format is really not user friendly
It shows date as 2013-09-08 T 11,40..Z
Is there any way to show item created date in alert emails? I dont want to use custom code for it.
I need to use OOB approach. Or atleast is there a way to format the above date displayed thru 'RawValue' attribute.

Thanks Arif, it did not work. One note though, if we are using the field name we do not use the brackets:
<GetVar Name=”OldValue#Created_x0020_Date”
/>
Both with and without brackets did not
work.
Thanks for the suggestion,
Mike

Propose item packaging data for customs declaration

Hi All,
My requirement is to update packaging data information as mentioned below in the item level of Customs declaration
1. CNTNO (Container Number)
2. PGETY   (Package Type)
3. PGESU   (Number of Packages)
4. PGEX1    (External Package Number)
I am using BAdI for Default Data in Customs Shipment and Customs Declaration. I have checked all the methods in this BAdI, and the method which fits more close to my requirement is ITEM_LEGPGE_PROPOSE. But this method allows me to update
a. Package Tye
b. Number of Packages
How should I take care of updating other two fields : Container Number and External Package Number?
Is there any other BAdI in GTS which takes care of it?
I would really appreciate your inputs on this.
Note:
I am transfering this Packaging Data information from Packaging data tab present at item level in Transit document (Type: TRLOIM) to Packaging data tab present at item level Customs declaration (Type: CULOIM).
The transit document is extended with items and packaging information through the receipt of an EDI message from Customs.
Thanks & regards,
Yogesh A Sharma

When transfering the DATA to GTS the Program fills the API for the transfer, you can go and change the information there. For this you can use the BADI's that are found in the feeder System under
SPRO / Sales & Distribution / Foreign Trade/Customs / SAP GTS Plugin / BADI for SAP Global Trade Services / Edit control for document transfer.
As mentionned above you may replace the GU number by your container Number (Field EXT_ID) or you can try by filling EXT_ID2 / or use any of the additionnal Fields of the Declaration, or in GTS you have the possibility to add supplementary fields in to the declaration (but I never tried it up to now) in the API which is called at "Perform api6800_csd_Synchronize" during the document transfer.

Marc

How to keep showing items created in current month for 5more days only in the next month by OOB functionality only

Hi,
I have a Time Reporting site where users log in their time twice a month.This site uses only Out Of Box functionality. There is no scope for coding in my site.
In the list i have created a view which shows the Time Report of the user logged in for the current month only.
There is a new requirement : Current month's Time Report should be visible to the users in the next month for 5 starting days of the month only so that users can edit this month's Time Report in the next month's 1st 5days incase they forget to edit it in
the current month.
e.g: If i am absent on the last day of the month , my time report for this month(March) should be visible for 5 days in April so that i can stiil edit March's time report. However after 5days the Time Report for March should not be visible. After 5days only
April's time report will be visible when submitted(April's time report).
Please can anybody help me out with this.
Regards ,
Guru

Hi Guru, you have a couple of options: 1) set a retention schedule through the list's settings> Information Management Policy Settings. Where the start date < start date + 35.
2) create a view and filter by the date like above.
These aren't perfect scenarios, but will get you close to what you want.

Custom Email Alert Template Issue - Users not getting customized emails

I have recently customized the XML alerts template (AlertTemplates.xml) for our site collection in SharePoint 2010 to exclude specific fields in the email when users who have subscribed to a list using the "Alert Me" feature. I have renamed
the custom alerts XML file and loaded the custom template in the following directory (%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML) and restarted IIS. Once users subscribe to the alerts using the list using the "alert
me" function they received the customized email as intended.
We needed to auto-subscribe users to the email alerts so what I did was used a powershell script to add users to the alert subscriptions using the script shown in below:
Import-Csv D:\Temp\filename.csv | ForEach-Object{
$webUrl=$_.WebUrl
$listTitle=$_.List
$alertTitle=$_.AlertTitle
$subscribedUser=$_.SubscribedUser
$alertType=$_.AlertType
$deliveryChannel=$_.DeliveryChannel
$eventType=$_.EventType
$frequency=$_.Frequency
$oldAlertID=$_.ID
$web=Get-SPWeb $webUrl
$testAlert = $web.Alerts | WHERE { $_.ID -eq $oldAlertID }
IF ($testAlert) {
$web.Alerts.Delete([GUID]$oldAlertID)
Write-Host Old alert $oldAlertID deleted. -Foregroundcolor Cyan
$list=$web.Lists.TryGetList($listTitle)
$user = $web.EnsureUser($subscribedUser)
$newAlert = $user.Alerts.Add()
$newAlert.Title = $alertTitle
$newAlert.AlertType=[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertType]::$alertType
$newAlert.List = $list
$newAlert.DeliveryChannels = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertDeliveryChannels]::$deliveryChannel
$newAlert.EventType = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventType]::$eventType
$newAlert.AlertFrequency = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertFrequency]::$frequency
if($frequency -ne "Immediate"){
$AlertTime=$_.AlertTime
$newAlert.AlertTime=$AlertTime
$newAlert.Update()
Write-Host Created $newAlert.Title for $subscribedUser . -Foregroundcolor Cyan
} ELSE {
Write-Host Alert $alertTitle for $subscribedUser already done. Moving on. -Foregroundcolor Magenta
When I ran the script and added the users and restarted the service, all users who were auto-subscribed via this method would get the email without the customizations that were done in the custom template.
All users who manually subscribed to the list using the "Alert Me" function would get the customized email.
Does anyone know why users who manually subscribe would get the custom email alert and why users who were auto-subscribed using the powershell script do not get the custom email alert?

Hi,
To deploy custom alert template file, we would load changes into SharePoint and restart SharePoint 2010 Timer Service from Windows Service. If you create your own AlertTemplate in the custom_alerttemplates.xml, you will need to set the set the SPList.AlertTemplate
property of the list. Then delete and re-subscribe to the alerts for the list.

own to the list using the "Alert Me" function would get the customized email.
Does anyone know why users who manually subscribe to the alerts get the customized email, and users who were auto-subscribed using the powershell script do not get the customized email and get the standard generic email template?

Hi ,
According to your code, it create a new alert using SPUser.Alerts.Add() method. For this method, it will create a new alert based on the predefined alert template by default.
If you only assigned the custom alert template to the list, users who manually subscribe to the alerts get the customized email, but users who were auto-subscribed using the PowerShell script get the standard
generic email template.
For your issue, you can set the new alert ‘s alert template:

Is it possible to change an item's create date manually?

When we upload some documents to PORTAL Content Area, Items' create Date is automatically set to sysdate. But our customer wants to preserve documents real creation date (in other system). Can we change this field manually after uploading documents or is there any other way to somehow give documents other date property? Many thanks...

The online help is a good place to start. Search the help for "custom attribute" or "custom item type". I also strongly recommend that you upgrade to Portal 3.0.9. There have been many bug fixes and enhancements between 3.0.6 and 3.0.9, and you'll need to be at 3.0.9 to upgrade to Release 2, when the R2 upgrade scripts are available.

Workflows: How to set a workflow variable that is the difference in hours between now and a created date

I'm trying to create a variable that contains the number of hours between the item created date and Now. When i use TODAY, it seems to set the time at 12:00 rather than the time now - so that throws the hours off. Any ideas?
ajw

Hi ajw,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to calculate the hours between the item created date and now.
It seems to be not an OOB way to implement your requirement, to get the current time, you need to create a custom workflow activity for SharePoint 2010 workflow. About creating custom workflow activity, you can refer to the links below:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh872790(v=office.14).aspx
http://blogs-sharepoint-ashutoshmisra.blogspot.in/2013/02/create-custom-workflow-action-for.html
Or, you can use a third party solution to achieve your requriement.

"Created Date" Changes in PS

In Photoshop CS3 (with Windows XP), after adding metadata to our scanned film images using File Info, the original "created date" changes to a completely different "created date".
eg. Unprocessed images that were scanned on July 16, 2012 show a "created date" of July 16, 2012, when we check the File Info for the image.
After adding the metadata to the images in File Info (using a Metadata Template that we created in PS on February 20, 2012), the "created date" was always changing to December 20, 2009.
We re-created the Metadata Template in PS on July 18, 2012, and the "created date" now changes to July 12, 2012.
Can anyone advise on how to solve this issue?
BTW, the "modified date" works just fine.
Thanks.

I recently experienced the same problem wth images that had adjusted dates in Aperture. Though I can't offer an explanation as to what went wrong, I did manage to solve it.
In iTunes deselect any synced photo albums which contain images that are displaying incorrect dates in iOS7 - sync your iOS device (the albums and images will be removed). Now select the photo albums again in iTunes, resync your device - the images will be added again with the correct dates (well that was my experience. Best of luck).

Cannot update alert template SP2013

HI,
I am trying to modify the existing default alert email template in SharePoint 2013. I have done the following but the template never changes:
1)made a copy in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\XML\alerttemplates.xml into customalerttemplates.xml
2)Modified the customalerttemplates.xml then run the following:
stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url http://webapp/sitecol/ -f "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\XML\customalerttemplates.xml"
3)restart IIS and SPTimer Service
4)try apply for a new alert. Received the alert email but in default template.
*note this worked on my SP2010 environment*
Please help.

You would have been good to go if you had not created a custom template for alerts. If you decided to create your own AlertTemplate in the custom_alerttemplates.xml, you will need to set the set the SPList.AlertTemplate property of each list for which you
need set the custom alerts template. This property will need to be set to the unique
Name attribute that you assigned to your new AlertTemplate section. You have to do this using the SharePoint object model, which only leaves you with two choices. Either write some compiled code which is triggered by an event, such as a
feature activation or list creation, or write a PowerShell script which calls the object model. Bellow is some code I’ve written to do this using PowerShell. After running this script, you will need to delete and re-subscribe to the alerts for the target list.
add-pssnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction silentlycontinue
$contentService = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
$AlertsTemplateCollection =  new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertTemplateCollection($contentService)
$spWeb = Get-SPWeb -Identity http://yoursitecollectionroot/
$splists = $spWeb.lists
$alertslist = $splists["YourTargetListName"]
$alertslist.AlertTemplate = $AlertsTemplateCollection["YOUR_UNIQUE_TEMPLATE_NAME_VALUE"]
$alertslist.Update()
$spWeb.Dispose()

Custom Site Templates How-To

I'm absolutely not opposed to doing a good deal of reading on this topic, so feel free to recommend online (and offline) resources that I might consult that provide the kind of information I'm seeking here. In any case, here is my issue...
I have been asked to develop "custom site templates" for an existing SharePoint 2013 (on-prem) environment where the vast majority of the site collections that are likely to ever be are already provisioned. My [admittedly feeble] understanding
of the "proper" way to do site templates is to reference the master pages and style library and such that exist at the site collection root for subordinate sites that are hosted within that site collection. Buuuuut, when the site collections already
exist (i.e. you aren't creating them using a customized template that contains all that information), what is the best practice approach to handling and applying these customizations?
I will point out that I am equipped and willing to manage these custom templates using VS (2013), but if that's not entirely necessary, then I'm as willing to avoid that... ;)
If someone could get me started on the right approach or point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Hi Ramz_dc,
In addition to the default templates, you can create your own site template based on a site you’ve created and customized in SharePoint. This is a powerful feature in SharePoint that allows you to create a custom solution and then share that solution with
your peers, the broader organization, or outside organizations. You can also package the site and open it in another environment or application like Microsoft Visual Studio and further customize it there.

Finder and wrong Created dates/times

I've noticed this glitch in Tiger and Snow Leopard, and it has remained in Lion. When I have a Finder window open (whether in List or Column view), I notice that a number of files show the Created date and time as 12-31-69 5:00 PM. Even if I check the file info (Command-I), I get the same results. Yet when I import a photo file with such a date/time into say Aperture or Lightroom, for example, the original created date is proper, which tells me that my Mac isn't corrupting this information, it's just not rendering it properly in Finder.
Anyone else having this problem with Finder? More importantly, does anybody know if there is a fix for this?

Copying files from a backup should not alter the created/modified dates, I just tested that.
Why don't you try a TM restore on one of the files and see if it works.

Created By and Created Date fields not showing up on Custom List form webpart

Hi,
I have added Custom Listform WebPart on "DispForm.aspx" of custom list. I need to display, out of box fields "Author" [Created By] and "Created" [Creation Date] on this custom list form webpart, I have added them on the webpart, following is the code behind of aspx page:
<td width ="400px" valign= "top" class="ms-formbody">
<xsl: value-of select = "@Author" disable-output-escaping = "yes"/>
</td>
However these fields are not showing/populating data on the form ?? Any inputs ???
Regards

Hi,
I think that when you insert a custom list form web part you select “Item” content type, so custom list form is designed to display only the fields that are appropriate for that content type “Item”, but the item content type doesn’t contain the created and created by column, when you add the two columns, it will not find the field value. By default, the two columns will display at the foot of the list form using SharePoint:CreatedModifiedInfo.
Hope it can help you.

Creating Query to show items from open sales orders with a/p invoice

Hi experts,
I am trying to create a query that will show what items/quantities are still in open sales orders that can now be filled by an incoming shipment of goods, processed through the a/p invoice.
This needs to be done using subqueries, which I have no experience with. I am trying to do this using the ORDR and RDR1 tables to show the open items from the sales orders and the OPOR and POR1 tables to show items just received in to inventory. I would like the query to show exactly the open item's, their quantities, the posting date from the sales order and the customer name that can now be filled from the new shipment through the a/p invoice.
I appreciate the assistance,
Hayden (on behalf of Todd)

Hello,
try this
SELECT T0.[DocDate], T1.[ItemCode], T1.[Dscription],( T1.[Quantity] - T1.[DelivrdQty]) As "Open Qty" FROM ORDR T0 INNER JOIN RDR1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry WHERE T0.[DocDueDate] <= [%0]And ( T1.[Quantity] - T1.[DelivrdQty]) != 0
Try this query in query manager.
Thanks
