Specific document using an action question

Would I be right in assuming that there is NO way that an action can pick a specific open document by name (to then perform an action on). As you can't rely on "previous" or "next" documents - as the number of open documents is unknown. (unlike scripting where you can getByName). I'm pretty sure this is the case, but I just want to double check. Cheers.

Objects can be selected in an Action if they have a "note" assigned to them, which is done using the Attributes panel. Since you would surely know if your objects had notes already, I doubt you'll be able to do this, unfortunately.

Retrieving specific document using explicit index lookup

The best way to retrieve a specific document seems to be using XmlContainer::getDocument, thus using the default index.
However, I may not have the document name, but instead an ID I have defined a unique index for.
Of course, I can use the XQuery interface to retrieve the document, and it's fast.
It's faster, though, to directly use an index. I can use XmlContainer::lookupIndex in order to do this; it takes an optional parameter "value", and the documentation for 2.3.10 says: "Provides the value to which equality indices must be equal. This parameter is required when returning documents on equality indices, and it is ignored for all other types of indices."
However, the documentation also says that XmlContainer::lookupIndex is deprecated, "in favor of using XmlManager::createIndexLookup and XmlIndexLookup::execute". That recommended approach does not seem to provide a way to look up a specific value. It seems I have to iterate over the index, which is not what I want. Am I missing something?

George,
thanks a lot - should have found this myself, I guess. Working example following:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Sleepycat::DbXml 'simple';
my $id = shift or die "usage: $0 <ID>\n";
my $contfile = $ENV{HOME} . '/dbenv/tv.dbxml';
my $iuri = ''; my $iname = 'ID';
my $istrat = 'unique-node-attribute-equality-decimal';
eval {
    my $mgr = XmlManager->new;
    my $cont = $mgr->openContainer($contfile, Db::DB_RDONLY);
    my $sval = XmlValue->new(XmlValue::DECIMAL, $id);
    my $idx = $mgr->createIndexLookup($cont, $iuri, $iname, $istrat, $sval);
    my $ctx = $mgr->createQueryContext(
        XmlQueryContext::LiveValues,
        XmlQueryContext::Lazy);
    my $res = $idx->execute($ctx);
    while ($res->hasNext) {
        $res->next(my $val);
        print $val;
my $ex;
if ($ex = catch XmlException) {
    die join "\n", ref $ex, $ex->what,
        'Exception Code: ' . $ex->getExceptionCode,
        'DbErrno: ' . $ex->getDbErrno;
elsif ($ex = catch std::exception) { die join "\n", ref $ex, $ex->what }
elsif ($@)                         { die $@ }For an alternative approach using setLowBound(), apply the following diff:
12c12,13
<     my $idx = $mgr->createIndexLookup($cont, $iuri, $iname, $istrat, $sval);
my $idx = $mgr->createIndexLookup($cont, $iuri, $iname, $istrat);
$idx->setLowBound( $sval, XmlIndexLookup::EQ );Thanks,

Help on moving specific files using folder actions

so i want to move all downloaded files that have the extension .pdf to a folder in my docs but it doesnt always work and if i download 2 at once it fails. im new to applescripts so please help!
this is what i have:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
tell application "Finder"
repeat with all_items in this_folder
if the name extension of any_item is "pdf" then
move item to folder "Macintosh HD:Users:Campbell:Documents:Printing"
end if
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to

As written, you are referring to different variables in your repeat loop for the added items (all_items, any_item, etc). The loop variable you define in the repeat statement is the one to use.
Snow Leopard added a time delay to check if items are still being downloaded, but in Leopard you will need to do it yourself. The following script adds a wait handler that will wait for files to be downloaded (I also threw in a run handler for testing):
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
property destination : "Macintosh HD:Users:Campbell:Documents:Printing"
property someTime : 60 -- time (in seconds) to allow files to copy/download
on run -- application double-clicked or run from the Script Editor
set theFolder to (choose folder)
tell application "Finder" to set theItems to files of theFolder as alias list
adding folder items to theFolder after receiving theItems -- process entire folder contents
end run
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items -- folder action
if (waitForFilesToCopy into this_folder for someTime) then
doStuff for added_items
else
display alert "Folder Action error" message "File copy/download into folder " & quoted form of POSIX path of this_folder & " did not complete in the time allowed."
end if
end adding folder items to
to doStuff for someFiles
do stuff with each file in someFiles
parameters - someFiles [list]: a list of files to do stuff with
returns nothing
repeat with anItem in someFiles
tell application "Finder"
if the name extension of anItem is "pdf" then
move anItem to folder destination
-- move anItem to (path to desktop) -- testing
end if
end tell
end repeat
end doStuff
to waitForFilesToCopy into someFolder for timeToWait
checks every interval seconds up to timeToWait for files to be copied/downloaded to theFolder
the test is based on the size of the folder not changing after interval seconds
parameters - someFolder [mixed]: the folder to check
timeToWait [integer]: a maximum timeout value in seconds
returns [boolean]: true if copy/download finished, false if timeout
set interval to 2 -- adjust as desired
set someFolder to quoted form of POSIX path of someFolder
set currentSize to first word of (do shell script "du -s " & someFolder) -- get initial size
repeat with timer from timeToWait to 1 by -interval
delay interval
set newSize to first word of (do shell script "du -s " & someFolder) -- recheck size
if (newSize is equal to currentSize) then
return true -- success
else -- update size
set currentSize to newSize
end if
end repeat
return false -- timed out
end waitForFilesToCopy

Is there a way to restrict the number of attempts for a remediated question using advanced actions?

I have the following slides in my project:
content slide 1
content slide 2
question slide 1
question slide 2
Question slide 1 is a question about content slide 1. Question slide 2 is a question about content slide 2. I would like to restrict the total number of attempts to two for each question. If question 1 is answered incorrectly on the first attempt, the learner would be returned to content slide 1 for review. Clicking the next button will take the learner back to the missed quiz question and allow them a second attempt to answer it correctly. If they answer it incorrectly again, it is scored as incorrect and the learner is taken to question slide 2.
Can this be done or does remediation keep repeating until the learner answers the question correctly?
If that is the case, can I achieve my objective by using advanced actions? And, if so, can you provide step by step instructions on how to do this?

I think it could be possible, but giving you step-by-step instructions, sorry, that would take a lot of time. Did you use advanced actions already? My archived blog has a lot of use cases and tutorials, but I think it is not fair to ask on a forum for step-by-step instructions for each use case you want to create. The most important thing will be to make sure that the user always remains in the Quiz scope, you can use the new system variable cpInQuizScope while testing. There is no system variable for attempts on question level, only one on Quiz level, so you'll have to create a user variable to track the attempts on question level. A big problem is that when you leave a question slide, without using the remediation work flow, the attempts are considered as finished. Personally I would prefer for that reason to not use the default question slides. You could try out a combination of remediation and advanced actions, never did test that?

Using Content Query webpart for specific Document library with multiple managed metadata - Document with multiple metadata tags not showing up

Hi,
I am having an issue where when I insert a Content Query webpart into a page, and filter to managed metadata, all the right documents show up except one document that happens to have two metadata tags attached to it. The content query webpart is set
to only look through a specific document library. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
Here is the one document with two metadata tags:
Below is the Content Query:

Hi,
As I understand, you did not get the results with multiple metadata tags through Content Query web part in SharePoint 2013.
Check things below:
1. Check if you have set the item limit more than the display items in Presentation section of the web part. If the item number more than item limit, the rest items will not show.
2. Check if the item you cannot find uses the content type you have set in the content type section of content query web part.
When you edit the properties of the item, you will see the content type the item is using.

Using a PDF as a Document Template in SharePoint 2010: "New Document" icon and action

Hi,
I have to create a document template in SharePoint 2010 using a PDF. After much searching I have learned to install Reader on the SharePoint server to bring in AcroPDF.dll
and set the OpenControl for PDFs in DOCICON.xml to be "AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments".
After taking these steps I can check PDFs in and out of SharePoint, and edit PDFs as I would edit an MS Office document.
However two problems remain with creating new documents based upon a PDF document template.
1) The PDF icon does not appear in the New Document dropdown. This makes sense since I never referenced a 32x32 icon in the SharePoint config files. Where would I place the icon image file and which configuration file would I edit to use that image file, and how?
The last three document templates are PDFs.
The second problem I face is that when I click one of the document templates above that is a PDF, nothing happens. I have tried this with Acrobat installed on both the client and the server. It would be preferable to insert a copy of the PDF document used as a template without having to use Acrobat at all.
Is there any resolution to either of these problems?

According to what i found the image needs to be 16x16.
See if this works.
Edit the DOCICON.XML file to include the PDF icon
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML
Edit the DOCICON.XML file (I open it in NotePad, you can also use the built-in XML Editor)
Ignore the section <ByProgID> and scroll down to the <ByExtension> section of the file
Within the <ByExtension> section, insert a <Mapping Key=”pdf” Value=”pdficon_small.gif” /> attribute. The easiest way is to copy an existing one – I usually just copy the line that starts <Mapping Key=”png”… and replace the parameters for Key and Value (see image below for example).
Note: Do not take shortcuts and copy/paste from here. 99% of problems with PDF icons not being displayed are due to errors made in the DOCICON.XML file
Save and close the file

Open multiple PDFs in Photoshop at specific size for use with Actions

I am having a bit of a roadblock with batch Automate in Photoshop. I'd like to open multiple PDFs at 630p x 630p, 72 dpi in greyscale. I have 2000 files to do this on. If files are already open, the rest of my action works, does a few things, then saves for web as PNG. It is just the open which is not working. It tries to give all files the same filename. Taking the filename out of the Action is not an option. Scan of msg boards say that this feature stopped working around CS3. Any ideas? Much appreciated.

Open opens images the same size and resolution they are saved. If you want the images to be a particular size you need to do that in the action.
If you download my crafting actions package. You will find the there are over a dozen scripts I wrote to be used with in action. One is a plugin script that would be particularly helpful to you to do the resize you want to do. The first three steps would be Step 1 menu File>Automate>AspectRatioSelection.... You would set in a 1 to 1 Aspect ratio. Centered, rectangle. replace, selection and 0 feather. In its dialog. Those settings will be recorded into the Actions step. Step 2 menu Image Crop. that will make you image square. Step 3 menu File>Automate>Fit Image... In the Fit image dialog you would set 630 in the width and height fields. These settings will be recorded into the actions step. When the action is played no dialog will be displayed. The recorded settings will be used.

Signing a document using a plugin in different versions of Reader

Hi,
I am signing a pdf document with my own .cer file using a plugin. Everything works great in Reader 8, I've got a green check, it specifies that this is a valid signature and I can view the certificate. In Reader 9, however, I receive a huge question mark, but it still specifies that the signature is valid and I can view the certificate. In Reader X, the signature is "UNKOWN".
How do I get rid of the question mark? Even if I delete the vector data for the drawing the question mark in the plugin, a big yellow question mark is still being displayed in Reader 9 and X.
Thank you,
Magda

Again, I know NOTHING about your plugin, your code, the certificate in question, etc.
The ONLY WAY to get you an answer is for you to provide our support staff with the PDF in question, at least as a starting point. Please open a support contract.

Credit Limit Check - Exclude Specific Documents / Credits from Exposure

Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to exclude specific document types (credits) from the credit exposure calculation used during credit limit checks.
The ideia is to exclude "DG" credits in customer GL that are related to Trade Deal/Agreements to avoid over-exposure.
Let me explain:
Currently, our credit management is configured to "Static" + "Open Items" for all credit groups in the CCA. Therefore, SAP calculates the credit exposure as:
          CE = OPEN ORDERS (S066) + OPEN DELIVERIES (S067) + OPEN BILLING (S067) + OPEN ITEMS (BSID)
Regarding "Open Items", I understand that SAP calculates the net value between all debits (receivables) and credits (returns, overpayments, etc...) already posted and not cleared in the Customer GL account. This rationale is correct since the credits are due to the customers and should be deducted from their exposure (i.e. "you may not pay them if you don't receive").
However, in our case, we also pay trade deals contracts (i.e. trade incentives and trade marketing investments) directly to costumers and apart from sales orders or credit memos. The flow is the following: (1) contracts are managed on a satelite system and interfaced to SAP; (2) contracts are created in the costumer GL as a credit (doc. type "DG"); (3) credits are sent to accounts payable for payment via F110.
Problem is that, contract credits volume is significant and are impacting customers credit exposure and limit check, resulting in greater exposure than allowed. That is, orders are being released while contract credits are open in the customer GL up to the max exposure, but when contracts are paid the exposure goes above the limit. For example:
Day 1:
          Costumer Credit Limit: 100
          Sales Balance: 30
          Open Itens: 50 (receivables: 70 / contracts: -20)
          Credit Exposure: 80/100
Day 2:
          Costumer Credit Limit: 100
          Sales Balance: 50
          Open Itens: 50 (receivables: 70 / contracts: -20)
          Credit Exposure: 100/100 (no additional orders are released)
Day 3:
          Costumer Credit Limit: 100
          Sales Balance: 50
          Open Itens: 70 (receivables: 70 / contracts: 0 - contracts are paid on day 3)
          Credit Exposure: 120/100 (exposure is above customer limit since contracts that were being deducted were paid)
Any ideas or thoughts? Is something wrong in the explanation above? Should contracts credits be treated through special GL?
Many thanks!

Hello Julie,
the 2nd, System behavior (how do you interact the credit limit check (yes/no question) via DI?)
Workaround:
Before you issue the Document, you may do a manual check: BP balance againt Credit Limit, and make deceision.

3. How do I delete a specific document from iCloud once I have accidentally saved it there?
4. How secure are the documents saved to iCloud?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, you can't if you are using iCloud.
File > Open, from the appropriate application.
File > Open. Select and delete.
They are encrypted on the servers, if that's what you are asking. Your account is also password protected.

Show custom EditForm from a specific document library view

Hello,
I've created a custom EditForm that I would like to show when the user clicks the "<label for="ShouldDisplayEdit">Edit" (link to edit item)</label> icon; however I just want to show this EditForm for a specific view.
I have a listview webpart (actually an "app") for the library and this specific view set on a page. However, it opens the default edit form instead of the custom one. (StatusEdit.aspx). I don't want to set StatusEdit.aspx as the default, as it
has fewer fields than the default edit form.
I am able to hide fields conditionally using SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides, but it's been a lot of work to try to make it match the requirements I have. I'd really like to have the custom edit form work if it's possible.
Thank you for your help!
Best Regards,
Kevin Worthington

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to specify the custom EditForm for a specific document library view.
We can change the link to edit item button url using Jquery to achieve it.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeurl()
$(' ms-itmHoverEnabled ms-itmhover ms-droppable).find('ms-vb-lastCell ms-cellstyle ms-vb-icon ms-vb-lastCell').attr(‘href’,”http://new url”);
</script>
Here are some detailed articles for your reference:

Workflow Functional Specification Document

Hi All
I am working on a implementation project which includes Workflows. Right now I am in the process of writing the functional specification document for the Workflows. I am a functional consultant and never worked on workflows.
Can some one provide me what should be included in the functional document , how should the flow be written.
Is there any sample Workflow template anyone can share.
There are 4 places that requires workflows according to my understanding as described below in my requirement:
1. Workflow for corporate users when a notification is created or closed
2. Workflow email, forward a complaint to
     Finance Manager
     Quality Manager
     Plant Managers
3. Workflow for forwarding to an approver, reassign task to someone else
4. Workflow to send remainder emails for open items longer than 30 days
Please provide your insights and neccesary documentation to start
Thanks,
Sai

HI Prakash,
Thanks for the detailed response, it helped me a lot.
for approval to sales director, operations director and quality director an email has to be triggred simultaneously.We have predefined list depending on plant who can take corrective action and who can approve the corresponding task. Further users should have the option to select who should get the email.
For Approver Determination:
Case 1: In your scenario approver is not fixed.The approvers get selected based on plant. Try to get link between plant and all the approvers. The easy approch will be to maintain the approvers SAP ID in Z-Table against all the plant and developer will use RULE to fetch approvers from this Z-Table. The structure of Z-Table will be:
                                  PLANT     LEVEL   OBJID     USERID
For one plant 3 entry will be maitained here. LEVEL will help to identify the 3 types of approvers i.e. sales director, operations director and quality director. OBJID value will be US (if SAP ID will maintained in USERID), O (if Org. ID will maintained in USERID), S (if Position will maintained in USERID) etc. Benifit of this approch will be when ever you want to change any approver you have to change corresponding entry in this Z-Table no need to do changes in Workflow (As suggested by Ronen).
I used the same logic, creating a Z-Table for agents who has to approve the corrective action for taks completed. I was curious if there is a standard way to get this functionality in SAP. I am not sure about the responsibility rule that Mike was mentioning. Can you tell me which approach is a better design.
Case 2: Now I am confused since you said user can choose next level of approver. So please explain in which scenario Approver will come based on plant and in which scenario user will choose it manually. If user have to choose manually then a screen design is require. From approval screen based on user selection you need to pass the Approver in workflow.
Sorry for not putting things clealy. There are no levels for approval. Each of them are independent i.e. Sales director , Operations Manager and Quality director should get emails for approval after the Plant Manager, QA, Manager, Sales Coordinator take corrective action and the notification is closed only when all 3 of them approve the corrective action.
The user have to choose manually when the correspondng approver of that plant left the company, long vacation, took a new role etc...
Mail Notification: Extended mail notification functionaity is there. The person who will get work item in his/her SAP inbox for approval they will get mail notification in their external mail ID. All the approvers email id should be maintained along with their SAP ID in T-Code SU01. You Just need to provide mail contents in your FS, workflow developer will put same text in in mail body.
I was thinking about the SO23 distribution list for sending the emails to approvers. Also, how do the emails go to the corresonding approvers of that specific plant unless we explicity specify the email id's associated with that plant. Please clarify.
Thanks,
Sandeep
