Using SharePoint 2013 Document Library for Office 2010 Workgroup Templates

Dear all,
we are about to introduce SharePoint 2013 and are looking for a way to use it as location for our Office 2010 workgroup templates. But when I try to configure it with in Word options it tells me that URLs are not allowed here.
I've searched this forum but saw no thread that has a solution so far.
So I just want to know if anyone implemented this feature or even has an idea that could work...
Thank you in advance,
Uwe

Hi,
Based on my tested in my environment ( Word 2010 & Share Point 2013), we can't point to the SharePoint library URL directly with Workgroup Templates.
Please try the workaround:
Sync the SharePoint site libraries to local disk.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/support/sync-onedrive-for-business-or-sharepoint-site-libraries-to-your-computer-HA102832401.aspx
Set the Workgroup Template to a local drive (to create the reg key)
Open regedit and set the location to the mapped drive:
Setting Name: SharedTemplates (Type REG_SZ)
Reg Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\General

Can't open MS Word .doc files from SharePoint 2013 document library?

Hello,
I have uploaded some MS Word files with .doc extension into a SharePoint 2013 document library, but they don't open when clicked. I can do a number of things to the file, like view and edit properties, download and other things, but it does not
open up when mouse clicked. There are PDF files in the document library and they open up just fine. Any ideas?
I should add that MS Word 2010 .docx files can not be opened either.
Thanks.
Paul

Hi,
Whether you use office 2013.
Considering this .doc file can be smoothly opened in Office if you downloaded it to your local, it indicates that the Word document and Microsoft Word doesn’t have any problems. The issue may be caused by the compatibility between Office
and your site.
1.Check whether you have the SharePoint OpenDocuments Class add on enabled at first.
Internet Explorer >Tools iron > Manage add-ons >
Choose to Show All add-ons. Find SharePoint OpenDocuments Class and make sure it’s enabled.
2.go to Compatibility view settings > add your SharePoint site to compatibility view
3.go to Internet Options,
Advanced > Reset… > Check Delete personal settings and reset
Security > Trusted sites > sites > add SharePoint sites to trusted sites
4.If it doesn’t work, please open Word, go to Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Protected View > Uncheck all.

Connecting a SharePoint 2013 Document Library to Outlook 2010 client

Good Day,
Can someone please confirm if you can connect a SharePoint 2013 Document Library to Outlook 2010 client?
I have seen articles, like the one shown below for Outlook 2013 to SharePoint 2013;
http://www.sharepointgeoff.com/how-to-connect-a-sharepoint-2013-document-library-to-outlook-2013/
Please provide a link to documentation to validate what Outlook Office versions will support viewing Document Library from Outlook client from a SharePoint 2013 Document Library.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to review my request.
Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Per my understanding, you might want to connect SharePoint 2013 Document Library to Outlook 2010 client application.
Yes, SharePoint 2013 Document Library can connect to Outlook 2010 client application, the connecting process is similar as what SharePoint 2013 connect to Outlook
2013 client application does.

SharePoint 2013 document library workflow to send emails when document changes

Hi All,
Need a email alerts to setup when documents get change in a SharePoint 2013 document library. Mail should go to all the members in a SharePoint Security group.
Many Thanks
sudesh withanage

Out of the box , You cannot set alerts for SharePoint group. You may try -
1- Create a group in active directory, add users to the ADgroup. Add that ADgroup in Sharepoint and configure alert.
2- You can set up a new user and change their email to that of a distribution list, and then assign the alerts to this user.
3- You can create a custom workflow/action or event receiver that will send an email to a distibution list or programmatically traverse the SPGroup's members and send them the notification email, whenever an item is added or changed.
4- You can try this , this was for WSS3 -
http://advancedalert.codeplex.com/
5- you can to use SharePoint Designer and create a workflow that send an email to SharePoint group.

SharePoint 2013 document library, permissions to upload and view shared document only

SharePoint 2013 document library I want to give access to client where they can upload and view their uploaded document and can see all documents shared with them.
I have managed to show all document shared with them only by deactivating a feature but now they can't upload any document, If I create a permission set to allow them to upload documents, they will see all other documents as well which are not shared with them.
Any suggestions?

Hi Sharaqat, the best way to handle your situation is to have a separate library or site for the client. You could use item level permissions per Thilosh, but fine-grained permissions become a major headache. You could also use web parts and audience
targeting, but that's not truly secure.
cameron rautmann
I am thinking to have a separate document library for client, where they can upload/view/edit etc, we will upload documents in a "secure" library with a column saying this is a private document or public document, if we mark a document public,
a workflow will move that document to the client's document library. I don't think there would be a problem to move a document from 1 library to another in a workflow.
That's the easiest solution I have found so far.

Email attachments from SSRS email subscription are not being uploaded to an email enabled SharePoint 2013 document library

Email attachments from SSRS email subscription are not being uploaded to an email enabled SharePoint 2013 document library.
I have tested the library using a standard email (with attachment) to the library and this works fine.
I have monitored the drop folder on the server and I can see both emails being picked up in drop and processed by SharePoint. The email sent from a regular email account is uploaded with the attachment, whereas the email sent via SSRS subscription
email is uploaded and the attachment (report) is missing.

An update on this. The email when sending from SSRS subscription is received in the library and the attachment is contained within the .EML file uploaded.
The behaviour that I would like from SSRS subscription emails are to just have the document and not the email.
Below is a snippet of the .EML files I quick copied from the Drop folder.
Email attachment snippet sent from SSRS Subscrption:

2GB of video file upload to SharePoint 2013 document library

Hi All,
We have a requirement of uploading a 2GB of video file to a SharePoint 2013 document library. Will there be any issue due to increasing the maximum file size?
Many Thanks,
sudesh withanage

It will be better if you save all your videos at one location,i.e Asset Library.Check the link for Asset libraries
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee414275(v=office.15).aspx
In case you want to add other files (i,e excel ,word) along with videos you will need to increase library size,
Check the following link to increase the file size ,as well as the issues and workaround to solve the problems

Unable to see existing documents in a Custom Sharepoint 2013 Document library while saving a document directly in it using explorer mode

Hi,
We have a SharePoint 2013 doc library based on a custom template, which has been migrated from 2010.
We are unable to see existing documents in a Document library created using this template while saving a document directly in it using explorer mode, However we can save files and even see them in explorer mode, only when we try to save a new document there
directly, we cant see the old docs.
All the OOB libraries work fine.
Below is the normal behavior while saving a file, however nothing comes up when saving on this custom template library

Solved it myself guys... (Well the major part)
Got help from here...

Update Sharepoint 2013 document library folder columns using document url

Hi All,
I have a SharePoint document library. In that library I am having folder name called Folder1. In this folder Folder1 I have 4 files in it. Now. I need to update the status column of these 4 files in Folder1 folder using the url of these 4 files.
So can anyone help me in to solve this problem. I am using SharePoint 2013 and Visual studio 2012. I want the code in C#.
Thanks & Regards,
Kishore
Kishore

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update the field within the folder.
I have made a simple code demo below to update the field within the folder, you can have a look at it.
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://YourSiteURL"))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
SPList list = web.Lists.TryGetList("Lib1");
if (list != null)
foreach (SPListItem folderItem in list.Folders)
if (folderItem.Title == "Folder1")
SPListItem item = list.GetItemById(5);
item["Status"] = "Updated";
item.Update();
Console.WriteLine("Field update successfully...");
Thanks & Regards,

Sharepoint 2013 Document library view show version history

Hello everyone,
I have a document library view with many folders. Each folder is a procedure and have document attached to it.
When I add a new version, I would like to show version history for each document contained in the folder. For example:
There is a folder Procedure 123 which has three files ( File1, File2, and File3). After a week the user the user created new revisions for each document.
I would like to have a document view with the following information
File Name   version
====== ======
File 01         0
File 02         0
File 03         0
File 01         1
File 02         1
File 03         1
File 01         2
File 02         2
File 03         2
Thanks for your help.
Jhonny Marcelo

This is quite simple, you have to modify the current view (Modify this view) of document library and then you can select version column from available column list (make sure version is enabled). please check below picture for detail.

Get Document ID based on specific folder in SharePoint 2013 document library

Hi,
I have created document library with multiple folders in SharePoint 2013.I have created workflow to assign file name convention like this "attachment name-ID".When i created document in one folder the ID is 1 and when I created document in another
folder, the Id is 2.
But my requirement is to create Id based on the folder means if document is not there in the folder then the document id should start from 1 and Id should ends within that folder and in another folder it should start from 1 again
Any help?
Thank you.

In this case you will have to build a custom document id provider, see here:
http://www.sharepointeurope.com/blog/2013/11/21/how-to-create-a-custom-document-id-provider-with-sharepoint-2013
Here's code taken from that post that shows the minimal implementation of such a provider:
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.Office.DocumentManagement;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
namespace CustomDocumentIDProvider.Components
class CustomDocumentIDProvider : DocumentIdProvider
public override string GenerateDocumentId(SPListItem listItem)
string retParam = "SPDocID-";
string path = Path.GetRandomFileName();
path = path.Replace(".", "");
retParam += path.Substring(0, 8).ToUpper();
return retParam;
public override string GetSampleDocumentIdText(SPSite site)
return "SPDocID-HT7G4SP7";

How to create column for attachment in SharePoint 2013 Document Library.

I've created document Library where user can upload the file while click on Upload option (OOTB).
Now in this Library I want to create one more column where user can put some comment and attach one more file for reference.
For comment I can create "Single line of text" type calumn where user can put some comment but for attachment not sure which type of column I have to create.
Want to know is there OOTB feature/column available which I can use to Add / create a one more column to upload a document for reference.

Hi,
For issue 1, please refer
To manage the permissions for a Document Set, you must have at least the Design or Full Control permission level.
On the Welcome Page for the Document Set, click the Manage tab of the Document Set ribbon, and then click Permissions.
Do one of the following:
To change the permission settings for the document library itself, click Manage Parent.
To stop inheriting permissions from the document library and create unique permissions for this Document Set individually, click Stop Inheriting Permissions.
To view the specific permissions an individual has, click Check Permissions, and then type the name of the user or group you want to check.
To inherit permissions from the parent document library (if the Document Set was previously configured to stop inheriting them) click Inherit Permissions.
For more information about working with permissions, see the links under See Also.

Remote upload into sharepoint 2013 document library (cloud based)

We have a sharepoint 2013 in the cloud.
Is it possible to have some kind of service (windows or web based) that can access a document library on said cloud server and put files into said document library?
I don't think we have a lot of behind the scenes access to the cloud instance of 2013.

Hi,
As I said above, we could use the Client Object Model to upload the files without the user having to go to SharePoint in the browser first and logging in.
We can use the credentials in the code as below, the code would copy files to SharePoint online, it worked well in my environment, you can check whether it works.
public static void CopyDocuments(string srcUrl, string srcLibrary, string destUrl, string destLibrary)
// set up the src client
ClientContext srcContext = new ClientContext(srcUrl);
SecureString passWord1 = new SecureString();
foreach (char c in "Password01!".ToCharArray()) passWord1.AppendChar(c);
srcContext.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials("[email protected]", passWord1);
Web srcWeb = srcContext.Web;
List srcList = srcWeb.Lists.GetByTitle(srcLibrary);
ListItemCollection itemColl = srcList.GetItems(new CamlQuery());
srcContext.Load(itemColl);
srcContext.ExecuteQuery();
// set up the destination context
ClientContext destContext = new ClientContext(destUrl);
SecureString passWord = new SecureString();
foreach (char c in "Password01!".ToCharArray()) passWord.AppendChar(c);
destContext.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials("[email protected]", passWord);
// get the destination list
Web destWeb = destContext.Web;
destContext.Load(destWeb);
destContext.ExecuteQuery();
foreach (var doc in itemColl)
try
//if (doc.FileSystemObjectType == FileSystemObjectType.File) //Field or Property "FileAttachement not found."
// get the file
File file = doc.File;
srcContext.Load(file);
srcContext.ExecuteQuery();
// build destination url
string nLocation = destWeb.ServerRelativeUrl.TrimEnd('/') + "/" + destLibrary.Replace(" ", "") + "/" + file.Name;
// read the file, copy the content to new file at new location
FileInformation fileInfo = File.OpenBinaryDirect(srcContext, file.ServerRelativeUrl);
File.SaveBinaryDirect(destContext, nLocation, fileInfo.Stream, true);
