Single approval workflow to apply on multiple selected item in Sharepoint 2010

Hi All,
I have the following work flow requirement:
1. Select multiple list items/ documents from a library
2. Start a single approval work flow for all the selected items
3. Which creates single approval task for all the approvers (Hence Multiple approvers)
4. rejection by single approver rejects all the approval process
(step 4 i know)
How can i go ahead with this?

How to Restrict Single Delivery Date for PO with Multiple Line Items

Dear Experts,
How to Restrict Single Delivery Date for PO with Multiple Line Items.
System needs to through Error Message if User Inputs Different Delivery Dates for PO with Multiple Line Items in ME21N Tcode.
Can we achive this by Some Enhancement in SAP or Not ???
If so how to do it.
Any Inputs is highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Selvakumar. M

Hi Selvakumar,
we can resrict the PO to have a single delivery date in all the line items by means of giving a error message or overwiting the delivery date keyed/determined in the line item.
You can use the BADI -> ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST. In which you need to implement the method PROCESS_SCHEDULE.
(for technical aid - This method will be called for each and every PO line item, From the imporing parameter im_schedule we can get all the details of current PO line, even we can change the data in the current PO line. )
Regards,
Madhu.

Can't delete multiple selected items in List or Library

I am experiencing quirky behavior when attempting to delete multiple selected items from a library or list. I select a few items via check box for each item I would like to delete. Then I click the delete button in the ribbon, and all I get is "Deleting...",
but no page refresh and the items are not deleted. However if I access the same list or library via the App server and select a few items, then hit delete, the page refreshes and the items are deleted.
So I consulted the Logs and compared the Web Server vs App Server, and the there is a lot of cryptic entries. The few lines that stands out most to me is the App server is:
ConnectionString: 'Data Source=database;Initial Catalog=Content;Integrated Security=True;Enlist=False;Asynchronous Processing=False;Connect Timeout=15'
ConnectionState: Closed ConnectionTimeout: 15
In fireItemEvent(), for list Building Locations, and item: 1
In fireSyncItemEvent(), calling ExecuteItemEventReceivers()
Calling ExecuteItemEventReceivers() for list 0f773535-3b22-4c29-97f1-fd2b70b50dd3 on item 1
Entering monitored scope (Event Receiver (Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Internal.PublishingWebEventReceiver))
Releasing SPRequest with allocation Id {FE9A45A8-C042-4223-8FCC-4BD873C93885}
PublishingWebEventReceiver:ItemDeleting: item
These calls are not in the web server log.
The list I was doing the delete action on was "Building Locations". We are using claims based authentication
Thanks for any insight or thoughts.
Brandon

I confirmed that there is no rewrite tags in either web config (app or web).
I did download fiddler, and when I try and delete on the web front end I get:
It tries to access the URL https://mysite/_layouts/_vti_bin/client.svc/processQuery
Then it sends me here since I have been denied
<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object moved to <a href="https://mysite/_layouts/AccessDenied.aspx">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>
The app server goes to
http://mysite/_layouts/_vti_bin/client.svc/processQuery doesn't get denied and deletes the items.

How can I get width that multiple selected items?

How can I get width that multiple selected items? (Not grouped.)
//---------- source code ----------
var mm = 2.83464566929134 //unit conversion. (point->milimeter)
var W = docRef.selection[0].width/mm;
alert(W);
//---------- source code ----------

That's right Carlos
@kimDino8,
my script in Carlos link creates a green rectangle around the selected items. If you don't need this rectangle than you can remove this lines:
var newRGBColor = new RGBColor();
newRGBColor.red = 0;
newRGBColor.green = 255;
newRGBColor.blue = 0;
and replace this:
var aRectangle = aDoc.pathItems.rectangle(vBounds_Ob, vBounds_Li, vBounds_Re - vBounds_Li, vBounds_Ob - vBounds_Un);
aRectangle.strokeColor = newRGBColor;
aRectangle.strokeWidth= 2;
aRectangle.filled = false;
aRectangle.stroked = true;
aDoc.selection = null;
with this:
var mmFactor = 2.83464567;
alert("width = "+ (vBounds_Re - vBounds_Li)/mmFactor);
alert("height = "+ (vBounds_Ob - vBounds_Un)/mmFactor);
Further you only have to do: create a function for rounding of the result.

IGNORE - Fixed Single-Database Capture and Apply Example, multiple tables

I ran the demo setup for , "Single-Database Capture and Apply Example" ( http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28321/capappdemo.htm#BCGBIEDJ )
Everything works fine. I now want to capture changes to another table in the HR schema, using the same DML handler.
I am uncertain of what to use for the stream name in the following (and related calls). I want the captures for the new table, "job_History" to go to the same queue. Do I use the same stream name, or do you have to create a new stream for each table capture? Thanks.
BEGIN
DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.ADD_TABLE_RULES(
table_name => 'hr.job_history,
streams_type => 'capture',
streams_name => 'capture_emp', queue_name => 'strmadmin.streams_queue',
include_dml => TRUE,
include_ddl => FALSE,
inclusion_rule => TRUE);

Derived Column : for Lookup type column with 'Allow Multiple Selection' : True in sharepoint list

Hello,
I have one column where field type is Lookup but 'Allow Multiple Selection' is true in SharePoint List.
So, in this scenario data from the SharePoint list is being exported as below.
1;#Red;#3;#Blue;#4;#Black;#5;#Green
Now resultant text exported to SQL Table should be :
1,3,4,5
OR
Red,Blue,Black,Green
Either way it is fine. How can we get this using Derived Column and Data Conversion?
I am able to do this for single occurrence using below expression.
(DT_STR,100,1252)(SUBSTRING([BusinessUnit],FINDSTRING([BusinessUnit],"#",1)+1,LEN([BusinessUnit])-FINDSTRING([BusinessUnit],"#",1)))
Please suggest.
Thank you,
Mittal.

Your best bet would be to do this in sql using a string parsing udf as below
http://visakhm.blogspot.com/2010/02/parsing-delimited-string.html
You can make it into procedure and call it from oledb command task.

Workflow - how to update multiple list items

Is it possible to update up to 3 list items with the same information using a workflow? My scenario is where a company vehicle (registration number) has up to three drivers assigned to it - Driver Name 1, Driver Name 2 and Driver Name 3. I
have two separate lists - one for vehicles (fleet list) and one for drivers (driver database). In my workflow when an item is created or changed in the fleet list, I would like the current vehicle registration to be updated in all three driver records
in the driver database. I am not sure if I can do this as I am unsure of what my unique look up would be as I need to be able to tie a vehicle registration to a driver name. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Use Sharepint Approval Workflow to update column in list item

Good afternoon all,
I am working in SP / SPD 2007.
I have set up a standard SP Approval workflow for a new list I am working with.
The workflow assigns tasks to the approvers serially and works fine so far. It sends to the first approver. upon approval it sends to the second approver. Upon approval the workflow marks the workflow column in the "All Items" view as "Approved"
All is well to this point.
My question is this. Can I append an action to this workflow? I have a separate "Status" column. All new items are initially marked "Pending Approval".
I would like that column to be changed to "Approved" upon completion of the approval workflow. I need this separate column for audit purposes as it includes several other important statuses that we track thoughout a request lifecycle. I just want
to automate the updating of this column via the approval workflow.
Any thoughts?
Steve

Hi Steve,
We can archive this simply in SharePoint 2010, but for SharePoint 2007, we can to create custom approval workflow.
Here are 2 workarounds for you.
Create a custom approval workflow with Visual Studio.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc627283(v=office.12).aspx
Use an InfoPath Form instead.

Create List Item using SharePoint 2010 Workflow

Hello everyone.
I found in youtube video using SP Employee Onboarding Web Part, idea is quite simple and powerful. But this web part available only in SP 2013, and I use 2010. So I wanted to develop my own version.
Questions is:
I have 2 lists Employee OnBoards (list contains data about new employee) and Employee OnBoards Tasks (list contains approval task). Where field Employee Name from Employee OnBoards list is lookup field in Employee OnBoards Tasks list.
I need emplement next:
When new Item created in Employee OnBoards list, it should copy Employee Name value to the Name field of the Employee OnBoards Tasks list.
I hope I explained understandable.
Thanks.

Hi Azamat,
This you can do by using SharePoint Designer workflow.
Create a sharepoint designer workflow and invoke that when new item will create in the list Employee
OnBoards.
then use Copy List item action to copy employee name to employee on board task list.
Below link will help you how to use copy list item action in a workflow.

Workflow task list is missing or damaged. SharePoint 2010

SharePOint 2010 Enterprise
Customer created workflows for the annual review of our QPC Emergency Plan.
The document library shows that there is a EP_Review workflow “In Progress” for each section.   However if you click into the “In Progress” link to see the actual progress of the workflow it shows no Visio diagram, it’s just a blank white
space (not even an error message) and under the Tasks section it gives the message:
"The workflow task list is missing or damaged. Please contact your administrator for more information"
I looked in the Task List and there are no tasks showing, which normally does show when we kick off a workflow.
I ran a report on the EP_Review workflow for Cancellations and Error messages and the system comes back with the following error message: "Report contains no Data"

Hi mikeatquestar,
it seems you may need to check if should the task able to create at your environement,
you may try this at your development environment first:
Saved a task list as a template from a working site collection and moved the template to the problem site collection. Used this template to create a new list, and associated this list to the Workflows task list.

Preset default value of DropDown based on Content Type selection in the SharePoint 2010 library

Hi,
I have three site content types (Admin, Technical & Well) derived from base content type "Base" and added this content types to "Documents" library. I also have one site column "Category"(Dropdown) with values (Admin, Technical
& Well) which is available in all the content types.
Now, when i try to create a document based on "Admin" content type then "Category" value should be preset to "Admin", similarly when i select "Technical" content type then "Category" should be preset to "Technical"
and same with "well".
Can some one provide me how i can achieve this?
I am working in the SharePoint 2010 environment.
Regards,
Chakradhar

My understanding is that , you have to display the category in all the content types.
So in that case create a content type like
Create a base content type -- with column category.
Create a Admin content type based on base content type as parent. By default ,the category column is available in admin content.
Create a Technical content type based on base content type as parent. By default ,the category column is available in Technical content type.
Create a Well content type based on base content type as parent. By default ,the category column is available in Well content type.
Do you want to create using sharepoint ui or code(visual studio)?

Workflow not working for multiple line items

Hi gurus,
we are working on ECN/ECO workflow.
Once ECN is created in CC01, our workflow triggers.
we are calling subflow from main WF for enhancing the materials of the Engineering change number(ECN).
Subflow will take the material to different departments for enhancing the views like,
Purchasing views by purchasing dept,
quality views by quality dept,
sales views by sales dept,
etc.
This whole process is working fine, if there is single material number in ECN.
But, if there are 2 material numbers, the control is not returning back to MAIN WF from Subflow.
do we need any config/setup to make it work. (we are using block while calling subflow).
Any help will be of gr8 use.
rgrds.
santosh.

Can you please update on what is the status in the workflow log. You can check this from SWIA tcode.
If it is in process step please check for ST22 dump if any.
Thanks

Custom tab missing from Create Site template selection section in SharePoint 2010

Background:I migrated from SP 2007 to SP 2010.
ISSUE: my custom templates are visible in the Gallery list but when i try to create a new site the Custom tab selection is missing.
What am i doing wrong?

Hi,
For a tip to understand for Visual Upgrade refer here :
Visual Upgrade
By Custom Templates, I mean remove old Master Pages : Go To Site Settings --> Look And Feel --> Master Pages (click on Master Pages to open window with Master Pages and CSS Style). From this page select V4Maste.master and default CSS. Refer here for
more on how to change :
Master Page
You can very well get back all your custom settings, but first lets try to resolve your first issue.
Cheers!

User profiles with multiple login accounts in SharePoint 2010

Hello,
Consider the following scenario:
We have Active Directory that is accessible inside our network. Except the sites, accessible from the corporate network, we are exposing SharePoint sites from the same farm on the internet, using claims based authentication with ADFS 2.0 using the same
AD instance as in the intranet.
The problems is that the claims based accounts are not linked to the profiles, that are created for the users by the User Profiles Synchronisation service.
Is there a way to configure the user profiles so if our users are signing in from internet, to access the same profiles that they have, when accessing the SharePoint sites from intranet?
(I've searched a lot, I didn't find excat solution. I've found something related to SPCLaims properties and had confugred them to sync with the AD using the "claims" trusted connection, but the problem remains.)
This is simmilar to allow our users to login using their Facebook, Google, OpenID identity or the identity in our AD. How can this be done?

SharePoint user profiles are not populated automatically when using claims-based authentication methods. You must create and populate these profiles yourself, typically in code. Users that map to existing accounts when you migrate to claims-based authentication
will use any existing profile information, but other users and new users will not have profile information. For information about how you can populate user profiles when using claims-based authentication, see "Trusted Identity Providers & User Profile
Synchronization" at
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brporter/archive/2010/07/19/trusted-identity-providers-amp-user-profile-synchronization.aspx.
The same limitation occurs when using SharePoint Audiences. You cannot use user-based audiences directly unless you create custom code to support this, but you can use property-based audiences that make use of claims values. For information, see "Using Audiences
with Claims Auth Sites in SharePoint 2010" at
http://blogs.technet.com/b/speschka/archive/2010/06/12/using-audiences-with-claims-auth-sites-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx.
