Team Collaboration enhancement: attachments in Tasks

Hello!
Why a Team Collaboration does not support attachments in Tasks (create, read) such as in OBEO, Zimbra and Mozilla Sunbird?
I think this feature would be very useful and convenient for end users.
Dima.

Hi,
senthil's comment is probably no big help, as the worklfow repository where the attachments are stored uses a non ACL-based security manager.
If you look there
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/da/e39b419b6ea109e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
This security manager gives the users automatically permissions depending on the permissions the user has on the folder where the original object is created.
For tasks I am actually not quite sure, what is to be done now, as permission on tasks are not good documented. E.g. the eu_role is sufficient to create a task.
Did you already try giving the user the Collaboration Role?
Or are you working in a room?
If you can provide me with the steps you did to create the task and the environment (room template you used or standard roles you have assigned) I maybe can try to repeat it.
Regards,
Sascha

  • Team Collaboration: Change the Task attributes are not synchronized...

    Hello!
    I am sorry for my poor English.
    When you modify in the Team Collaboration the following Task attributes:
    Percentage of completion and Status of implementation,
    the changes are not synchronized with others tools (OBEO, Zimbra, Mozilla Sunbird).
    Change of Status of implementation of synchronized only in Mozilla Sunbird.
    Can anyone give an explanation or solution for this?
    P.S.
    The problem I found recently in 2.0.1.5. (I think that in earlier versions was the same)
    Patch set 2.0.1.6 does not eliminate this defect.

    The answer to my question is,
    I am stupid. I don't pay attention to the details.
    For clarification I did the following...
    class superclass{
      private Integer PIN = new Integer(100);
      // this is the part in my code that I forgot.
      protected Integer getSecretPin(){
        return PIN;
    class sub{
      sub me;
      public sub(){
        me = this;
      // Sneaky stuff
      public Integer getPIN(){
        return
          ((superclass)me).getSecretPin();
    }I was tracking down a bug and was writing some output debugging and THOUGHT that I had stumbled on a security thing. On further inspection into the superclass code I had really accessed a protected method. My compiler ignored the casting.
    Thanks to all for "Looking into it."
    Peace

  • Need link/button to allow users to add attachments to Tasks on Collect Feedback workflow

    Hi All,
    we would like to modify the
    Collect Feedback workflow in SharePoint to
    allow users to add attachments to Tasks. We need an additional button on the review form to attach files, when the reviewers are submitting their comments. 

    Hi nai.mish,
    I would not suggest you to modify the default collect feedback workflow, but to custom a workflow with custom form page that similar with the default workflow.
    You can consider using SharePoint Designer workflow, in this way, you may not be able to custom the task form with attachment, you can try to use “Hyperlink or Picture” column, this will need the viewer to upload the attachment to a library
    first.
    Or you can create VS workflow, the following has a sample about adding attachment to an InfoPath Workflow task form, you can get more information from it:

  • Using team assignment pool with milestone tasks

    Hello,
    Can someone explain to me why the team assignment pool functionality is only available for tasks with non-zero durations?  In other words, any milestone task cannot be self-assigned using this feature.  When one attempts to do so, the "One
    or more of the specified tasks could not be re-assigned ..." error is observed and the self-assignment is not processed. 
    However adding a duration of 1 minute to the task solves the problem and the functionality works perfectly. 
    Is there any reason for this restriction?  In practice it is often useful to allow team members to update milestone dates.  In fact, the ability to do so is available without issue if the assignment is performed via MS Project Pro rather then as
    a team assignment in PWA.
    Is this a bug, or is there a grand design behind it?
    Thanks,
    Boris

    Hi Boris,
    We are just non-microsoft volunteers here on those Project forums thus have to clear asnwer for your question.
    That being said, a milestone should not represent an activity resources are working on. Moreover they have a 0 duration, thus they don't trigger any work. Reporting on itmes that don't work, neither progress does'nt make sense in my point of view. A milestone
    is a only the result of an activity, like a deliverable. 
    Finally, the project manager is accountable for updating milestones since he'll be reporting to his board on those milestones he owns (and not the team member). I'd said that team member will send the task progress to the project manager with eventually
    the remaining work, which will update the milestones dates in case the PM approves. In my opinion, this should be done that way. 
    Hope this helps,

  • Team Collaboration-Enable Users

    Hello,
    Can anyone explain to me what does Team Collaboration-Enable Users mean?
    Thanks in advance

    Arnaud,
    I think it is meant to go further than that, where Exchange users can connect to Zimbra and work their emails, contacts and meetings from there as well as from exchange. They can also use IM, Team workspaces etc.

  • Upload file in Beehive Team Collaboration

    For the past few weeks everytime I try to upload a file on Beehive Team Collaboration, my IE hangs. I have to force close it to get everything working again. I have Windows XP and use IE 8. This never happened before and I use it quite frequently. Also, my Beehive Workspaces in generally are very slow.

    Hi,
    If you are using the teamcollab client within IE to uopload large files ther can be issues with timeouts happening within the session.
    There are other protocols more suited for file upload webDAV and FTPS - the way these are set up are detailed in the FAQ on https://beehiveonline.oracle.com.

  • Lookout 6.1 Team collaboration

    Hi,
    We are using Lookout 6.1 and as couple of team members mentioned, there are no collaboration options for Lookout. Let's say several people are working on one and same project where there is a need when all are done with their parts to connect all parts and pieces together in one place.
    Is there a module or a way in Lookout that allows team collaboration and if so, what is the best approach?

  • What's wrong in can't link Attachments to task?

    hi:
    EPM 2010
    I can link attachments to task by using project's Schedule Tools- Link To button. But in Tasks & Project Site, I can't link attachments to task,document,risk,issue. 
    The Custom Commands is ok, I can change link object but after saving nothing changed.
    Is there sth wrong in system or database?

    Hi, have you by any chance break the synchronization of project site issue/risk list?
    Have you rename/delete any of the default existing columns of Issue/Risk lists? You can also verify this from Queue Job, where you can find error that its unable to synchronize.  
    Now if above is valid, just see if you have any project sit with the default columns available, save it as a template and associate it with your EPT.
    Hope this helps.

  • Opportunity Team Assignment Rule and Automated Task Owner

    Hi,
    We have a requirement that when an Opportunity is created, the Opportunity Team assigned will be based on the Owner of the record. We created a "test" assignment rule wherein the:
    * Team Assignment: (Example) John Locke (Manager), Jack Shephard (Coordinator)
    * Rule criteria: Opportunity Owner First Name = Sawyer, Opportunity Owner Last Name = Ford (Question 1: I can't find Owner id field from the list... that would have been better..)
    This works when the Reassign Opportunity checkbox is ticked during record creation and I needed to refresh the record to see the added users in the Team. (Question 2: Is that how it really works? Also, the users added in the Team does not have an Opportunity Role assigned... This field is important to my requirement..)
    We have 3 Opportunity Team Opportunity Roles: Manager, Coordinator, Sales Rep. We also have a Sales Process based on the Opportunity Type wherein each Sales Stage has automated tasks for it. We assigned the "Opportunity Team Role - Coordinator" as the Owner of the tasks.
    This part does not work because when you create the opportunity record, the user in the Team is only the Owner (creator of the record = Sawyer Ford)m which is also assigned as the Owner of the Activities created based on Sales Stage. What should happen is that the Owner of the Activities should be "Jack Shephard" (Coordinator from the assignment rule).
    Question 3: How can I assign Opportunity Team Role in the assignment rules?
    Question 4: It seems like the Sales Stage fires first (which creates the automated tasks) before the assignment rule fires....
    Help please...
    Thanks in advance,
    Jasmin

    Hi Abhijit,
    Indeed as you stated, the team assignment can only be self-assigned. Meaning that a manager cannot assign a team assignment to another member. Customizing this feature could be quite complex and time/money consuming. If you decide to go that way, then it
    is out of my knowledge.
    Using the "reassign task" feature will not help because once reassigned, the manager will not be able to change the assignment again for another resource.
    I'd rather suggest to put in place a process together with the project manager who is actually managing assignments in the project with Project Pro. For example the manager can access the project plan and should only update his resources on assignments but
    not the project itself.
    Hope this helps,

  • Best Practices for Team Collaboration using Adobe Captivate

    With a team of 6 Instructional Designers, how can Adobe Captivate be approached where we can collaborate while producing e-learning material while maintaining a consistent look and feel of the e-learning we produce?
    What are the best practices for a team of 6 IDs working and creating e-learning material in Captivate?  Is there anything build-in that allows us to connect to the same libraries, templates, etc to share?  
    Please advise.
    Thank you!

    Only some tips, never collaborated with someone else, being the solo teacher. You didn't mention which version you are using, what I write here is meant for CP7.
    Be sure to prepare a theme and/or a template that will be used by everyone. A theme consists of master slides, object styles, skin editor. Master slides can have custom navigation shape buttons.  In a template you can eventually also prepare different slides with placeholders, and eventually advanced actions etc. For CP6 and earlier that is the only way to reuse advanced actions, in Captivate 7 you can export shared actions that can be imported in any project for reuse.
    A feature that few users know about are the external libraries. You can open the library of any project as an external library in another project. That is a good idea to store assets that you want to use in different projects: images, audio clips, video clips, eventually equations. The shared actions in a library can not (yet?) be used in another project however.
    If you are on CP7 you have automatically the roundtripping with source Adobe Photoshop files and source Audition files, both from CC. That can also make collaboration lot easier if those assets are prepared in those applications. Will not expand on that, because I'm not sure you have the Creative Cloud applications.
    Those are my two cents.

  • Bridging Framemaker and Google Docs for team collaboration

    Hello all,
    Our company uses Google docs extensively for all types of documentation.
    As the technical writer, I am the odd one out. Now, management tasked me with finding a way to bridge Framemaker [draft] content with Google docs. The reason is to provide the Engineers with a way to review and edit documents on a OS agnostic (and commonly used) platform.
    Unfortunately, Google docs isn't making this the least bit easy! In particular, Google docs severely limits PDF to gdocs conversion to about 10 pages. Even using Acrobat's Split Document tool (and then splitting the document into many smaller parts), I am still missing many pages!
    This has become a huge dilemma!
    Any ideas are appreciated.
    Thank you

    Well that would be a rather severe punishment. I'm not worried about that.
    I just hate to fail at something. I thought I could find a solution that would involve Google Docs but I am quickly learning that this product is still truly inept, at least in regards to importing documents.
    I am currently experimenting with alternative (non Google) solutions. One alternative is using Adobe Acrobat's Shared Review tool. Except, I cannot figure out what kind of Web Server folder is accepted by Adobe Acrobat. I've trying my own personal webserver (a folder with full permissions), Google Docs folder, Adobe's Creative Cloud storage... everything I tried, resulted in the same error, "The Shared Folder Location provided is not valid. Click OK and check the Status field for more information". I don't even know where the "Status field" is located.
    All this trouble sure illustrates the greatness of Microsoft's Sharepoint server when it was my collaboration tool.

  • New to Bridge - Network Gallery for Team Collaboration???

    Hi,
    I am new to Bridge and was wondering whether or not it would be possible to do the following:
    1. Use it to store .fla, swf, jpg, etc... all media files on a network drive in order to allow for maximum collaboration with dispursed project team?
    2. Set it up to allow all those with access the ability to tag  - add keywords.
    3. Is there a way to allow for limited modification - edit, but not delete
    4. Is there a way to auto generate a file name using a unique identifier - e.g. 35351223423 - so when a team member referenced the image or asset it could be linked to like - http://subdomain.mysite.com/images/gallery1/35351223423.gif
    5. Is there a way to control checking in and out  so that collaborators don't overwrite each other?
    6. Whyis it that some files tend not to allow for adding, editing keywords? - i.e. .fla, gif, etc... returns an error saying something to the effect that XMP data can't be attached
    Thanks in advance

    Images won't be stored on any of the users machines, but rather on a server share.  The usage scinereo for this is: 
    Image are stored on a file server that is shared out to all users.  ie. all users are working with files on network share:  "\\server\projects\images".   All users connect to this share, or shares, and have reed/write access to these files.  The users want to be able to update metadata, keywords, and rotation of files within bridge for these files.  So when user A adds new keywords to a file for searching, user B will, within bridge, see those changes and can search using the keywords user A added...and vs versa.  The idea is user A, B, etc., don't have to maintain separate keywords, metadata, image orientation.
    Can you just have it export cache for each folder and it will work, or do you need to build and export a 'root' cache that everyone else is then pointed too, from within bride, ie build a root cache for the "projects" folder, as in the scenario  bellow:
    \\server\projects\projectX
                            \projectY
                            \projectZ

  • SharePoint Best Practices / Enterprise team/collaboration

    Hello all,
    So I consider myself an expert in SP. I have quite a project ahead of me and am trying to work through the best possible way to move forward. Long story made short: we have 'team sites' that are pretty much solely for department usage. However, our organization
    often crosses department boundaries with collaboration efforts that while one department may own, have a need to pull in various staff members to the efforts. Much of these efforts are either continual or recurring. In hopes to not have a million separate
    sites, (ok so not a million but too many) am trying to plan out the architecture for our inside SP to look something like this: Intranet (root) -> Committees (sub) -> Committee 1 {etc} (sub sub)Teamsites (sub) -> Dept 1 {etc} (sub sub) 
    Ok so with this: in many cases (let's say IT) we have documents (instruction guides) that would be enterprise purposed. There is also information that is for IT only. So my thoughts was to make the top level team site the "enterprise read' site, then
    if there was content that was for IT only it would be secured via document library or a sub site of the main team site. (I prefer the later as I think it is cleaner).
    I have researched this and have read everything from 'do not use team sites' to pretty much be convinced there is no standard way to support both an enterprise collaboration / departmental use for SharePoint. I am very much about clean architecture and do
    NOT want SP to be a mess (which if not done correctly it will be). I am also about business process. I want it to SUPPORT the business and not be a hindrance to getting work done.
    Any thoughts to this would be fantastic as I really want to see who else is using it in this way and what you have done, works well, does not work well, etc.
