Tasks across multiple sites?

Hello,
My business has recently started using Sharepoint, and we need to know if its possible to set up tasks in multiple sites as tasks are often integrated across sites.  If there is a way, please share!
Thanks,
Emily

Hi
Emily,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display tasks across sites.
Did the tasks in the same site collections ?
If so , you can use the User task web part.
User task web part is used to show the tasks for current user in the task list of the current web site.
https://milesli-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/online/SiteCollections.aspx
However, in SharePoint 2013, there is My Tasks web part in MySite, which will show all the tasks for the user, please have a test whether this meet the requirement.
Another workaround can be considered is Content Query Web Part, it can be used to show tasks in a site collection, more about content query web part:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff650512.aspx
Or Content Search Web Part, it can be used to show tasks across site collection.
For more information about the content search and content query web part, you can refer to the following article.

  • Custom template available across multiple site collections

    I have created a custom site template which I need to be available across multiple site collections. Is there a global area where I can put the .wsp file so that I can use it within any site collection.
    I also have a custom document library which I need to be available from with the site made from the custom site template mentioned above - Is there a global area where I can put the .stp file so that I can use it within any site within any site collection.
    thanks

    This will really depend how the template has been packaged.  If it's a content type, than editing this and making sure that the "update content type" radio is selected will do the trick. Can you ask someone who's made one to show you how they generate
    the template. If it's within the New --> XXX Document, than you're in luck
    If they're just deployed as normal files within a library, you'll have a much harder time.

  • Best Way to Sync Lists Across Multiple Site Collections?

    A quick query I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with...
    Within our university intranet I am assigning each department a team site within its own Site Collection. So that departments can associate Document Library files with a set list of academic courses, I created a custom dropdown field and deployed it as a Feature. While this worked within SharePoint, when you attempted to set the document properties within the Microsoft Word environment the custom fields were rendered as empty text boxes (meaning that staff are no longer restricted in when information they can enter).
    To get around this I'm considering going back-to-basics and creating a Custom List, populating it with the titles of our academic courses, and then assigning it to a Document Library via a Lookup Field. I know that Microsoft Word will then correctly display the metadata dropdown.
    As I am using multiple Site Collections, I'm unsure of the "best" way to proceed.
    I've already written a Console Application which can create a Custom List within a targetted site and populate it with the contents of an XML file - but I would need to run this every time I created a new Site Collection and what would I do when I wanted to update the contents of all the lists?
    Other than modifying my Console Application to loop through all instances of the Custom List within Site Collections and sync it to the contents of the XML file, is there another (better) option that I am over-looking?
    Its such a shame I can't create cross-collection Lookup Fields within all of the Site Collections that point to a single top-level list.
    Many thanks.

    My instinctive questions drifts towards why you have different site collections.  If all the sites were sub sites within the same site collection, a global field would solve the issue quite nicely.
    If you have legitimate reasons for keeping the sites seperated into separate site collections, I would look at using an Event Handler to trigger updates to reference values in each site collection, be they global fields or lists.  Then if you wish to update the values, you only need to update the trigger list to propagate the updates across your site sollections to all your sites in question.
    I trust that answers your question...
    Thanks

  • Fastest way to get data from Multiple lists across multiple site collections

    HI
    I need to get data from multiple lists which spread across 20 site collections and need to show it as list view.
    I have searched on internet about this and got some info like options would be to use search core APIs or BCS . I can't use search because I want real time data. Not sure of any other ways.
    if anybody can provide ideas it would be help.

    Might LINQ be an option for you?  Using
    LINQPad and the
    SharePoint Connector, you should be able to write a query that'll retrieve this data, from which you can tabulate it.  I'm not sure how you'd be able to automate this any further so that it's then imported in as list.
    For something more specific, I used a third party tool called the
    Lightning Tools Lightning Conductor, which is essence a powerful content roll-up tool.  In one of my solutions, I created a calculated column that gave an order / ranking on each item, so that when lists were combined, they'd still have some form of
    order.  The web part is also fairly customisable and has always proven a useful tool.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to change PowerPoint Template across multiple site collections

    I am failry new to SharePoint, and my organization has asked me to research how to change a PowerPoint template that is stored on multiple site collections. There are current PowerPoints based on the template and they wanted to be sure those wouldn't be
    affected, as well. They want a "quick and easy" way to update the template that the divisions in the company use without manually going into each site collection. A co-worker said she hopes to "replace the current...template at the site
    collection and it will modify the available content type when selecting new document."
    Any help on how to handle this would be appreciated.

    This will really depend how the template has been packaged.  If it's a content type, than editing this and making sure that the "update content type" radio is selected will do the trick. Can you ask someone who's made one to show you how they generate

  • Calendar Overlay Across Multiple Site Collections

    I have searched the forums and have not found a solution to this question.
    We are having trouble creating calendar overlays across site collections.
    Specifics:
    1. This is a single farm SharePoint 2013 installation.  Version: 15.0.4481.1005
    2. We have a single web application http://sharepointweb on port 80
    3. We are using host-named site collections
    4. We have separated the different departments into separate site collections because we want to take advantage of separate content databases.
    When we create calendar overlays between calendar lists within a single site collection...it works fine.  When we try to create calendar overlays between site collections (again, within a single web app) it fails with the message "Unable
    to find specified web in the given URL".
    Some more details:

    Hi Roo, 
    i tried some steps, i agree with you that seems calendar overlay cant do good across web application, 
    from http://y:1234/ and http://y:4563/. seems there are limitation here. 
    when i extend my web app, usually i create new web app as internal/external/public, then i guess issue is happened. 
    so, anyway, i got a bit curious if your environment also came out with the same result:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2025977
    at the kb, it was stated, that it may not able to find another site other than the default web app.
    but, while i tried in the same web app, the issue not there.
    so i tried to create new site collection, with lots of subsites, http://y:1234/. then have http://y.1234/sites/123 and http://y.1234/sites/456, for example, i add new calendar and create overlay, seems it can resolve each one and another.
    perhaps you can check this article:

  • Gathering Information across multiple sites

    We have a site that has hundreds of sub sites, all of which have many libraries. Would it be possible to query all libraries in all sites for particular information, i.e for documents that have a certain metadata that's in a column?
    dfrancis

    Have you configured Search to crawl all of your web apps, sites and webs? If so you should be able to set up a search center to return results across sites. The search results web part should be able to accomplish this while the content query web part cannot.
    You can search for a managed property using "propertyname:a-value" where you replace "propertyname" with a particular managed property and "a-value" with your particular value.
    If you have an instance of SP 2013, you could use a hybrid model where you keep your sites in 2010, but move search to 2013. After pointing SP 2013 search to crawl your 2010 sites, you will now have the power of 2013 to refine searches.

  • SP2013 Set default views across multiple site collections (powershell)?

    I am the editor for a large SharePoint 2013 publishing site with approximately 130+ subsites. Based on our most popular content types, I've create two diffferent default views that will come in handy as we move to a distributed authorship model. (I'm thinking
    specifically about the Quick Edit/Excel-like feature to make quick changes to page/document metadata.) 
    The authors/content owner/editors have NO experience with SharePoint, so while the usual benefit of using views is that they can be tailored to individual needs, I'd like to start them off with something that is VERY easy to change on the fly using Ribbon >
    Library > Quick Edit. It's either that or, as just a power user in the CMS, go to each individual page and document library and change it manually, which could take days, if not longer. The ideal solution would look for all subsite of layout/content type
    foo and change the default views within the page libraries to a set of 17 metadata.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Ryan D Watters

    Hi Ryan,
    As I understand, you would like to change default view for page/document libraries via powershell.
    Firstly, you need to get all page/document libraries in the site, then add columns to default view.
    Here are some articles for your reference:

  • Search across multiple site collections SharePoint 2013

    Hi Guys
    I have a search center and Enterprise search configured in one site collection, I need to enable it to search content in other site collections too. I am using SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise on a Windows Server 2012 R2. Can I promote results from
    a particular site collection if the user initiates search from that particular site collection..?
    Thanks in Advance
    Parth

    Hi,
    From your description, you want to find a way to promote result from a particular site collection when users search on
    Enterprise Search site.
    To add promoted result, you can create new query rule and add
    Promoted Result or Result Block to highlight the results you want.
    Moreover, What do you mean when you say promote results from a particular site collection if the user initiates search from that particular site collection?
    A real sample? Please explain more about your requirement so that we can provide more detailed information.
    If you are new to SharePoint 2013 search, you may start from:
    Search in SharePoint Server 2013

  • Synchronize multiple tasks and multiple boards with X-series USB devices

    Hi all,
    I am trying to figure out how to synchronize multiple tasks across multiple X-series USB boards (6353, to be precise). 
    I have to run a digital output task AND an analog output task on each board.  All four tasks (the DO and AO on Board 1, and the DO and AO on Board 2) must be synchronized.
    I know how to synchronize multiple tasks on a single board.  I've been doing that for years.  That works fine.
    I know how to synchronize a single task across multiple boards (say, a DO task across 2 different boards).  That works fine too.
    For the life of me, I can't figure out how to marry the two.  Everything I've seen, all of the examples, etc. assume you want to do one or the other, or that you have a RTSI cable available.  Are there any examples out there that synchronize multiple tasks across multiple USB boards?
    I tried exporting the AO clock signal from my master AO task to PFI12, and then using the signal on PFI12 to as the clock source for the remaining tasks (Dev1/PFI12 physically connected to Dev2/PFI12, and Dev1/PFI12 set as the clock source for Dev1's DO task). 
    I have also tried setting Dev1/aoSampClock as the source for Dev1's DO task.
    Under both configurations, I invariably get error -89137 when I try to start the tasks -- required resources (PFI12) in use by Dev1/do/SampClock.  I understand what the error is telling me.  What I don't understand is why I'm receiving this error when I don't have any of my tasks configured to use the DO Sample Clock.  It seems as though it is not possible to export a clock signal to a PFI line and simultaneously run a clocked digital task, even if the clock source for that task is specified as something other than the DO Sample Clock?
    So, my question is, is it possible to do what I want to do?  And if so, how do I do it?  How do I configure a common clock source across multiple tasks running on multiple USB boards?
    Hoping for insight from those wiser than I...
    Diane
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Update:  I decided to try using a counter as the source clock.  One cannot use counter 0 to accomplish this, but it does appear to work with counter 1.
    I'll take what I can get.  Fortunately I have two spare counters.  (Yes, I'm running counter tasks too -- 6 of them -- but they don't have to be synchronized.)
    I have to add both digital and analog input tasks as well -- all synchronous with each other, but not with the output tasks since they'll be running at different sample rates.  I hope I'm able to use a counter as the source clock for those as well.
    My head aches.

  • Using SPSiteDataQuery for multiple Site Collections

    Hi All,
    I would like to query five contact lists on multiple site collections. I can query the lists using SPSiteDataQuery if they are within the same site collection, but I can not query the lists over multiple site collections.
    Is there a method like SPSiteDataQuery that I can use to query lists over multiple Site Collections?
    Many Thanks,
    Colin

    Hi,
    As you have mentioned that: SPSiteDataQuery which can query multiple webs within the same site collection, but not across multiple site collections. You can't accomplish that easily.
    The solution evolves from first using the SPSiteDataQuery class to run a query upon each site collection and then aggregating the results.
    For detailed information, refer to the following article:

    I want to use spiceworks to report on the status of bitlocker across multiple customer sites and domains, I didn't want to use MBAM as it is complicated and I just wanted to report if bitlocker was enabled or not.

  • FireFox crashes on multiple sites, when 1st opened, also has over 4 or 5 different FireFixes in the Task Manager running how do we fix this?

    My PC, my wifes, dads, moms and kids PC all do this since the 14 update. I have updated ALL add-ons even removed some, also updated Flash and other programs, it will do this every time I open FF. Or if it does not crash rite away it will show 5+ of them open in Task Manager. It does this on multiple sites, I even reset FF 2 or 3 times, tried different start pages from Google, to Yahoo, to MSN even private sites I frequent it does not matter what I do it constantly crashes, can someone please fix this or figure out why tons of people are having this problem. This is very upsetting already upset about this darn idea of putting in FaceBook and crap like that integrated into FF that is a stupid move on its own seems more of a sell out I would expect that from IE but not from FF whom we have trusted for years.

    You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

  • DC Stock rationing across multiple receiving sites

    Hi experts,
    We have a business requirement to ration available stock held at the DC across multiple orders in the situation of a shortage.
    The requirement is to do this rationing is based on the document type of the originating STO and Ordering Site classification, so that the most significant order type and most significant store gets the available inventory first.
    We have 5 primary store STO document types and we wish to classify them from 1 to 5, 1 being the most imporant.
    We also have circa 300 stores and likewise wish to classify them 1 - c.300, 1 being the most important.
    Using this classification data we want to generate Outbound Deliveries from the STOs.
    A simple example:
    We have a Qty of 20 pieces of Article 1 in the DC available:
    The following STOs have been generated:
    Doc. Type 1 - Store 1 -  Article: 1 Qty: 10
    Doc. Type 1 - Store 2 -  Article: 1 Qty: 5
    Doc. Type 2 - Store 1 -  Article: 1 Qty: 10
    Doc. Type 2 - Store 2 -  Article: 1 Qty: 15
    We would expect the following Outbound Deliveries to be generated:
    OBD 1 - Store 1 - Article: 1 Qty: 10
    OBD 2 - Store 2 - Article: 1 Qty: 5
    OBD 3 - Store 1 - Article: 1 Qty: 5
    We need this processing to take place in the shortest possible time, as we have strict timings around orders being available in the DC WMS for picking due to a short lead time.  We therefore want to maximise parallel processing, rather than just sequencing the running of VL10B to be one order type and one store at a time.
    Any ideas on how best to achieve this requirement and how you would approach it?
    Has anyone done similar types of rationing before?
    Many thanks in advance!
    David

    Hi David,
    You need to create a new allocation program for rationing the stocks to the stos. Once the STOs are created, run this program
    to allocate or commit the stocks based on your logic.
    Later you can create the deliveries based on the committed stocks of STOs.
    regards,
