Using Create Item to create a Link to a Document

Content Type ID: Link to a Document
Path and Name: test
URL: http://test
I'm no sure what else to put.  I've tried Title.  I've tried the URL has
http://test , Test.  Not sure what to do.

Hi，
It is a known issue that In our SharePoint 2013 farm, we are running into the issue with Workflows where any workflow with "Create List Item" which create a link to a document item in a Document Library.
It is by design.
Here are similar issue post, you can take a look at:

  • My client needs to be able to create a link to a document on the server in Incontext editor

    My client needs to be able to create a link to a document on the server, but I dont want to allow FTP/File manager access as this gives him opportunity to delete pages and files.
    How can you give him safe access without giving access to the files?

    The only other way to upload the document to his site is to use Media Downloads, also known as Literature in some part of the system. Then, inside the InContext Editor you click on the link and and select page from my site, then link to the literature item created.
    That's all.

  • How to create a link to a document in the KM content

    I work in BI.  I have a document in the KM Content folder and I want to create a link to this document from another folder that I created in Portal Content.  Can someone tell me I can do this?
    Thanks.
    Ryan

    There seems to be some confusion between Portal and KM features here.
    The problem is that I have no idea of BI. But as I understand it correctly, BI stores some objects like Web Reports in KM folders.
    To your point 1.: ZSANDYTEST looks like a customer development. This is not a standard navigation node. Also you speak of "folder". The navigation nodes "Content Administration" and "Portal Content" have nothing to do with KM at all. The are comming from a portal role. So the question is, what is ZSANDYTEST below the Portal Conten navigation node? Is it an iView? What kind of iView is it?
    You say you want to have a "link" in this "folder" but without getting more details about what kind of object "ZSANDYTEST" is I can only guess, what you are having there.
    I suggest to first get a basic understanding on portal content and portal roles starting about here
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/6b/a7a62102194ad0879b19731905d2de/frameset.htm
    No if you now what a role is and what an iView is, we can talk about how to integrate something into an already existing role. You can create an iView of a fitting type to integrate any content into the portal.
    For example create an SAP transaction iView if you want to integrate an SAP transaction.
    Now KM is an application using the portal. Things stored in KM can be intergrated in different ways.
    If you want to integrate a word document stored in KM it is a good idea to create a KM document iView. If you want to intergrate a whole KM folder structure you need to use a KM navigation iView. In the standard portal roles there are already KM navigation iViews, so to integrate a new object like a word document you can simply create a new KM folder and upload the document there.
    So try to specify if you mean a KM folder or a portal navigation node or a PCD folder. Because whithout seeing the system while talking about this there will be confusion.
    2. When creating a link in KM you will get a popup with KM entry points in it for which you have permissions. There is also a small link called "more" if not all entry points are fitting into the window.
    Form the link to this SRA_LOGO_TEST you posted before this seems to be stored in a subfolder of the "Public Documents" entry point (folder) so navigate into the Public Documents entry point and into the subfolder containing the object you want to link to. Of course, if you do not have read permission to the folders or objects you want to link to, you will not see them.

  • Is there a way to create a link within a document that will pull text from the document and open it up in a separate text box within the document?

    I am trying to link sections of an form within a PDF back to instructions within the same PDF document.  Instead of having this jump back to the page within the document I would like for it to pull up the identified text within a separate pop-up text box on the same page where the form lives.  Is this possible?

    Hi gwebster,
    Instead of linking back to the instructions page, may be you can use tool tips or comments so that the instructions can be seen besides the text.

  • How to create internal links with pages...?

    I'm thinking of taking all my class notes with the computer and I wanted to know if Pages can create internal links (to other documents, or to another point in the same document). Or is there a better application to do this?

    Although I really haven't used it, this seems to be a very cool feature.
    Call up Pages Help and search for "link". You will be rewarded with several hits, one of which is 'Creating a hyperlink to a bookmarked location in a document' with step-by-step guidance on using the Inspector for hyperlinks and bookmarks.

  • Difference between create database link and create shared Database link

    Hi Guys,
    can any one suggest me where to use "create database link" statement and where to use "Create shared database link". I have only idea that using shared database link the process can reuse connections already established to the remote server.
    In my envrionment I am used to connect with db link but sometimes its not working so try with shared link and its working fine. In local as well as remote database we are using DEDICATED only not the shared server.
    so, what the cause behind this?
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks...

  • Records Management Sytem link to DMS Document

    I'm trying to programatically create a document in DMS from Records Management System and create a link to the document.  I can create the document using BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 but cannot figure out a way to link to the document.
    Does anyone know if there is a BAPI or function module to do this?

    HI Michael,
    This cookbook gives an example of how to link a BO to record automatically. You can probably use the same concept
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/40be7649-72f7-2c10-03b9-c85d56eff2e5?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
    BAPIs  SRM_RECORD_ADDELEMENT & SRM_RECORD_ADDELEMENTS can be used to add one or more than one elements in a record.
    Please note that if adding an object to arecord is one processing step in a bigger process which may need access to same record again & again then it is better to use record APIs(methods of IF_SRM_SP_RECORD) . BAPIs should be used for one off access to records since every BAPI opens record, makes changes & then closes record.
    For a bigger process which requires access to same record again & again, opening & closing records so many times becomes costly for performance.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Problem "Link to a document" content type within document set - Bug?

    Hello,
    I'm having an issue with the "Link to a document" content type in one of my document libraries. The issue is when you create a link to a document inside a document set:
    The result is that the users get redirected to the wrong URL (../docsethomepage.aspx instead of ../docsethomepage.aspx?ID=.......), and instead of seeing the actual document set they started from, with the new link (or any document that is already in the
    document set) the users see a default view of a generic document set - not the one they started from:
    Any suggestions on how to fix this? One library has this faults and one does not. Our SharePoint server is up-to-date.

    Hi,
    I reproduced the issue in different versions of SharePoint, it works in SharePoint Server 2013, and the issue occured to Office 365. I then tried enabling “Launch forms in a dialog”, it worked.
    I will forward the issue to our internal feedback channel. And since the issue occurs to Office 365, please create service request with online engineer for root cause.

    Your code is in a default value for an item, right?
    You need to make sure :P33_YEAR is not null and handle the error in the PL/SQL if it is.
    How is P33_YEAR populated? do you pass it in? check to see if it is making it there..

  • Create a Link using Dynamic Text and Capture Variable

    I am building a dynamic website using Dreamweaver CS5 with Coldfusion 9
    Currently I have created a dynamic text table. The table is created by querying the Invoice table and displays the all the customers Invoices. The columns Include Invoice #, Date, Amount Paid, BalanceRemaining, Due Date. So basically lists all the invoices I have applied to the unique customer. It is pulled up using a session variable I created from the login page.
    My question is this I want to make the "Invoice #" linked so when you click on it it goes to a new page and performs a new query which retrieves infro related to that specific invoice such as Services Rendered, Service Description, Date, Price, Total. I was able to create a link to the Invoice # but I am stuck trying to figure out how to capture the Unique Invoice # and apply it to the new query. Is this possible if so how?
    Thanks for your help!

    Now keep in mind I am speaking strictly from a web and SQL standpoint as I have no experience with coldfusion.
    If you are able to create the link to the Invoice, I am perceiving this as the following:
    Invoice
    Links to
    #123
    page.php?invoice=123
    #345
    page.php?invoice=345
    If your page is setup like that then you already have the data stored in the browser request with the GET method.  In PHP the equivalent is the $_GET array.  I am assuming ColdFusion has a similar array to work with forms.  Then on your following page you obviously need to check that the visitor came from the prior page with the proper permissions to ensure that someone doesn't get the address page.php?invoice=### and just guesses through and views all invoices if they are not supposed to.  Then your query would look something like the following:
    SELECT * FROM invoice_table WHERE invoice_number = $_GET['invoice']
    Remember this in written in PHP so yours should be a similar equivalent.
    Hopefully this helps a little to get you going in the right direction.

  • Problem Creating Partner Link for Adapter Integrating with Tuxedo using JCA

    Hi All,
    This is the first time that I am working on integration tools. I will explain in brief the problem.
    There will be a legacy system (Tuxedo) running which connect to legacy database for requests. I am able to connect to that legacy system using Attunity Studio for getting the response back. Which is working fine.
    Now I want that to integrate with BPEL PM 10.1.2 using JCA. For this I followed this URL (http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/904/how_to/oc4j-jca-tux/onjava-jca.html). What happens here is, a simple servlet invokes a Session Bean that interacts the Attunity Server using the JCA. For that I am using oc4j container of BPEL PM 10.1.2. I could able to work it fine.
    For working with BPEL, I have created synchronous process, when try to create Partner link using Adapter service from WSIL browser, it is not coming in.
    Am I missed any important configuration at BPEL PM end.
    For doing this a followed the "tutorial 2" @ http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/adapters/dev_support.html
    In exact way, above provided tutorial 2 PDF, I failed at step "Configuring a BPEL Service to invoke the above Adapter Service" on page 11.
    Your help is highly appreciated
    Thanks
