Working with a user defined list

I should point out before I start, we have only really just got SharePoint and are trying to mirror things we used to do in Excel. I really dont have any technical coding experience. So if possible can we stick to OOTB functionality, but if that
isnt possible then so be it.
We have a timesheet based system in excel where there is a list with the headers
Contract Name and Contract Code. This is a long list and most users are only working on a fraction of this list at any given time, but it is dynamic. A user can move in and out of contracts at
the drop of a hat. So what I want, or what I think I want, is the following
Is it possible for a User to create their own custom list (UserContractList), based on another list (CompanyContractList) that they can add and remove from at will. And when the user
goes to add entries to the company wide TimesheetList and they go to add a contract to the list it gives them the choice from their specific
UserContractList and this changes on who logs in.
Im really sorry if Ive got any of the SharePoint 2013 termanology mixed up.
If it helps, we are using Enterprise for Non Profit E1
ta in advance
Lee

There's a few tricks you can use to make this more manageable for users
Recreate your headers as custom columns. If you're going to be using them elsewhere then Managed Metadata Columns would be best.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/introduction-to-managed-metadata-HA101974326.aspx
Once you've added that column you can add 'Metadata Navigation' to the list, allowing a user to filter the list down to only the relevant fields.
(2010 instructions but still valid for 2013:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/sharepoint-server-help/configure-metadata-navigation-for-a-list-or-library-HA101820113.aspx)
When a user wants to add an entry to the list they would click on the 'add item' link, then start typing the code/name into a box. After the first two or three characters they will then be presented with suggestions below the box (in the same way Google
does). Or they can use a hierarchical structure to browse to a code/name.
If you wanted you could also set the list so that most users can only see their own entries. The ability to view all items can be restricted to a select few power users. This can be done by going into 'List Settings>Advanced Settings' and ticking the
box labeled something like 'only allow users to view/edit their own items'. There are other options available.
Your suggested approach could be done but it's going to be a lot more work than you'd like. Think of it as creating a spreadsheet per person and then amalgamating it later. The real problem would be if and when you want to update the lists, you'd have a
heck of a time.

FR - User defined list not editable

Dear Techies,
We are having an issue off-late with respect to editing the User defined list that we created within Financial reports. When we open the FR Studio we are not able to see the list and not able to add new items to the existing user defined list. The creation of new user defined list is also not working.
I was wondering there should be some place where this user defined table is being stored like kind of tables in some database (not sure some repository) within Hyperion servers. I searched in all places and no luck.
Could you please tell me where the User defined list created within FR is getting stored, so I can go and in add new items?
Thanks

Only Admins can create and edit these, so you'll need admin permissions.
FYI the lists, named ADMxxx.txt, can be found on the server (11.1.x):
\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\app\<app_name>\<db_name>
although its unsupported to directly edit ;-)

Binding a Check Box with a User Defined Field

Hi everyone,
i v created a user defined field (U_CheckPro)in the system table "OITM" with two values: Y for Yes and N for No. In relation to that i v also created a check box on the form "150" and would like to know how can i bind my checkbox with my user defined field properly.
The user would be than able to enable or disable the check box for each item (article). The user setting schould be than be active and valid in sbo-business logic, each time an item is selected. (for example in case of sales order ID 133, "OINV").
Any helfpul hints? Samples would be welcome as well.
Thanks and regards
Alban

Hi Rasmus,
thank you very much for your helpful hint. I guess my problem is solved by that - nevertheless here is my complete code sequence once again in case of possible errors.
I would appreciate any additional suggestion for improvement of the same.
Thanks and regards

User Defined Lists Setup Alternatives

I have a rather large system project coming up. One of the pillars of this system is to have the ability for users to create generic lists that can then be referenced by the UI and backend processes. In order to data-drive this setup, I'm searching
for different suggestions / links about setting up the tables necessary to build such a generic list setup.
As an example, a user might want to create a list containing a simple name/value pair. Or, something more complicated where two values make up the natural key and are associated with a date value, a money value, and a couple of text values creating
a 6-column list.
I've seen a couple out there:
80/20 Rule Approach
Create a registry to store the list names and also a registry for column names and how they would be referenced / called. The list would be stored in something like the following:
CREATE TABLE list.StandardListStore
EntryId uniqueidentifier NOT NULL DEFAULT NEWID(),
ListRegistryId uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
KeyColumn1 nvarchar(100) NOT NULL,
KeyColumn2 nvarchar(100) NOT NULL,
KeyColumn3 nvarchar(100) NOT NULL,
TextColumn1 nvarchar(200) NULL,
TextColumn2 nvarchar(200) NULL,
TextColumn3 nvarchar(200) NULL,
FactorColumn1 decimal(15,9) NULL,
FactorColumn2 decimal(15,9) NULL,
MoneyColumn1 money NULL,
MoneyColumn2 money NULL,
DateColumn1 datetime NULL,
DateColumn2 datetime NULL,
CreateDate datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT GETDATE(),
CreateUser nvarchar(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT SYSTEM_USER,
UpdateDate datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT GETDATE(),
UpdateUser nvarchar(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT SYSTEM_USER,
CONSTRAINT PK_list_StandardListStore PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (EntryId),
CONSTRAINT UQ_list_StandardListStore UNIQUE(ListRegistryId, KeyColumn1, KeyColumn2, KeyColumn3)
GO
Obviously a lot of wasted space plus sooner or later, someone would want a list that wouldn't fit. Expansion would be by adding a new datatype-based column to accommodate a larger list.
Second Approach - More Flexible but more complicated to manage
In this one you would have a trimmed down version of the list store above with just the row/entry id and key columns such as the following:
CREATE TABLE list.StandardListStore
EntryId uniqueidentifier NOT NULL DEFAULT NEWID(),
ListRegistryId uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
KeyColumn1 nvarchar(100) NOT NULL,
KeyColumn2 nvarchar(100) NOT NULL,
KeyColumn3 nvarchar(100) NOT NULL,
CreateDate datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT GETDATE(),
CreateUser nvarchar(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT SYSTEM_USER,
UpdateDate datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT GETDATE(),
UpdateUser nvarchar(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT SYSTEM_USER,
CONSTRAINT PK_list_StandardListStore PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (EntryId),
CONSTRAINT UQ_list_StandardListStore UNIQUE(ListRegistryId, KeyColumn1, KeyColumn2, KeyColumn3)
GO
Then each possible datatype would have it's own dedicated table by data type such as the following:
CREATE TABLE list.StandardListTextColumns
DataId uniqueidentifier NOT NULL DEFAULT NEWID(),
EntryId uniqueidentifier NOT NULL, -- From the list store
RegistryColumnId uniqueidentifier NOT NULL, -- Column being referenced
TextColumn nvarchar(500) NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_list_StandardListTextColumns PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (DataId)
GO
So, there'd be an int table, a datetime table, a money table, etc.
This approach a lot more flexible. The challenge here is how to combine 1-many data columns from various datatype-based column tables into some semblance of a row that can be presented to the user without hard-coding any column names (no pivot).
So, do you guys know of any books, links, samples, or have suggestions for lists such as these? Should I install a local SharePoint instance and see how they created their user-defined list database objects?
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Sounds like you're over thinking this. A list is just a list...
Just off the top of my head, the following structure would allow a user to build whatever type of list they'd like and then be able to come back later and apply any of their lists to a given policy (for example), and store the values.
CREATE TABLE dbo.ListCategory (
ListCategoryName VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
CREATE TABLE dbo.ListHeader (
ListHeaderID INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
ListName VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
ListCategory VARCHAR(50)
CONSTRAINT fk_ListCategory FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES dbo.ListCategory(ListCategoryName),
ListOwner INT
CONSTRAINT fk_Users FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES dbo.Users(UserID),
CreatedDate DATETIME
CREATE TABLE dbo.ListItems (
ListItemID INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
ListHeaderID INT NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT fk_ListHeader FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES dbo.ListHeader(ListHeaderID),
ListItemName VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
OrderBy INT NOT NULL
CREATE TABLE dbo.PolicyListResponses (
PolicyNumber VARCHAR(50)
CONSTRAINT fk_Policy FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES dbo.Policies(PolicyNumber),
ListHeaderID INT NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT fk_ListHeader2 FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES dbo.ListHeader(ListHeaderID),
ListItemID INT NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT fk_ListItems FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES dbo.ListItems(ListItemID),
ListItemValue VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT pk_PolicyListResponses PRIMARY KEY (PolicyNumber,ListHeaderID,ListItemID)

Hi,

iChat can SMS to phones
It needs the computer to be listed as if it in the United States and contacting a Phone that is on a Carrier in the United States that is accepting SMS forwarding from AIM
You list the Buddy as AIM and then +plus their number as in +123456789
The computer can be made to "think" it is in the United States in System Preferences > International (or Text a Language in Lion) then Formats tab.
The Phone has to be a US phone with all the trimmings about AIM's SMS forwarding.

BUG in DB XML? (when dealing with modules, user-defined functions)

Hi,
this post can be related to Different results for the semantically the same queries but here examples are even simpler.
I have the module with one user-defined function:
module namespace tnt = "http://tntbase.mathweb.org/ns";
declare function tnt:filter-path($docs as document-node()*, $path as xs:string) as document-node()*{
$docs[dbxml:metadata('tnt:path') = $path]
};Then I have a query:
import module namespace tnt = 'http://tntbase.mathweb.org/ns' at 'file:/path/to/module/user-func.xq';
(: this variable is IMPORTANT in the query:)
declare variable $len := 3;
(: here goes the same function as in the module, but with different name :)
declare function tnt:filter-path2($docs as document-node()*, $path as xs:string) as document-node()*{
$docs[dbxml:metadata('tnt:path') = $path]
(:the query itself :)
tnt:filter-path(collection("xml_content.dbxml"), substring("a:/doc.xml", $len)) If I execute the query I get *0* results, if I use function tnt:filter-path2 (instead of module's tnt:filter-path) then I get the expected *1* result.
Also I experimented a bit with a query and got the following observations (independent from each other):
1) If I substitute $len by value *3* or *3.0*, then I get right results in both cases, i.e. if the query itself looks:
tnt:filter-path(collection("xml_content.dbxml"), substring("a:/doc.xml", 3)) 2) If I change the module's function so that it uses value comparison instead of general comparison, then I get the right results in both cases as well:
module namespace tnt = "http://tntbase.mathweb.org/ns";
declare function tnt:filter-path($docs as document-node()*, $path as xs:string) as document-node()*{
$docs[dbxml:metadata('tnt:path') eq $path]
};Please, help me out! I'm pretty sure it's a problem of DB XML and I'm struggling with it for a long time in this or that shape.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Vyacheslav

I upgraded from 2.5.13 to 2.5.16 and the bug disappeared. The reason why I didn't do it before was that I hadn't seen any relevant for me fixes in the release notes of 2.5.16 comparing to 2.4.13 (Actually I already have had two patches for two relevant issues in the 2.5.13 version)
Sorry for the false alarm.

Working with multiple users and computers, but shared data

Sorry if this is posted in a poor place, I'm not sure where the best place is. This is sort of a general questions.
For a long time, my wife and I have had either one computer, or two machines but one has definitely been just a terminal. We've basically set up all of our data to be one one primary machine, and if we want to view/edit that data we have to use that machine.
We just got a new MacBook Pro and I would like to be able to use two machines as equals. Sadly, this idea of multiple computers, with two users and some shared data is really giving me difficulty. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to best manage things like:
Synchronizing portions of our contact list (We share about 50% of the combined library -- we don't have to share all though).
How to manage iPhoto so that we can each have access to the photos. As an added difficulty (or maybe this is easier?) my Wife just wants to have access to the pictures for viewing and sharing on Facebook/Picassa/etc. I am the only one who wants to edit, correct and cull our library. That said, I always edit when I first put the data on the machine, and almost never again; so it would be fine to have one (or both accounts) set up as view only for the iPhoto data.
How to manage iTunes so that we can each have access to the music. As a super awesome bonus, it would be great if we could have three libraries: His, Hers and Shared. Maybe as much as 30% of our music library is similar, the rest just gets in the way.
What is the best solution people have found for calendars? (I'm thinking two separate calendars, and we each subscribe to each others iCal feed)
Mail.app and bookmark synching is not really a problem for us.
Two extra points:
* One machine is portable, and the other isn't. Ideally, when the laptop is out of the house, both machines should still have reasonable access to the shared data. That is: Just dumping things in the shared folder won't work because when the laptop is out of the house we will be disconnected from the source data.
* We just got a second iPhone. This means that both of us will be taking photos/video separately and trying to synch back to the master data store.
* Basically, I'm trying to minimize data duplication as much as possible, and just synchronize the systems to each other.
Thanks a ton in advance. If anyone has any suggestions at all, I would love to hear them. Including "This is in the wrong forum, go ask here instead..."

So you have a desktop Mac and a laptop Mac, right? Two user accounts (and a third admin account) on each computer, right?
I profess that I haven't tried this, but here is how I would approach your problem:
Sharing Music and Photos between multiple user accounts on the same computer:
See if http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=194992 and http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=510993 provide any useful information to assist you in this endeavor.
Sharing across multiple computers:
Turn on file sharing on the Desktop (System Preferences > Sharing). Now you can mount the Desktop as an external drive on the laptop's Desktop. Copy the music and photo folders across. Will take awhile to do the first time. Then, for future use, get a copy of the donationware CarbonCopyCloner or equivalent. You can use CCC to selectively sync specific folders from one computer to the other. There may be a hassle with digital copyright issues on music and movies, though.
Calendars:
As you have suggested yourself, publishing yours and subscribing to hers is probably the best way to do it, on the same computer. Across computers, syncing with CCC or equivalent would probably be the way to go.

Why does new Skype work with one user, and not another?

Running 19.4.5, I installed the latest version of Skype. (I do not activate it on login) This opens, but crshes/unexspectedly quits on "sign in". I tried the same with a "new user", and the app opened fine. I compared the two users to make sure that Skype was correctly featured in my usual user. No difference. Still crashes.
Does anyone have an idea what could be conflicting with Skype?

Right, problem solved! . Am posting this as it may help in future. I use a useful little app called Window Dragon,(a haxie) which helps resize windows with the mouse. This was causing the conflict, but had not with earlier versions of Skype. All I had to do was exclude Window Dragon from working with the new updated version of Skype and everything back to normal.
Solutions to apps that "quit unexpectedly" or crash often mention that haxies can often come into conflict with apps. So best to start with any haxies one has installed, disable, test etc..

Why does Flash not work with multiple user-accounts on a single PC?

After removing the FP installation (as being user A) and then install FP as user B (who has also admin rights) , FP works fine for user B, however for user A, FP is not installed/recoginzed (?), and user A is being asked to install FP, however that installation the fails, and so on and so on , . . . . .

Hi,
There might be different reasons behind this.
Check whether user is created in database or not.
There might be possibility that, user is in different database.
SELECT * FROM V$DATABASE; --This will help you to findout database name.
SELECT * FROM DBA_USERS WHERE USERNAME = 'HR'; --HR is user present on database. If your user is present in database then user might not have connect privilege.
GRANT CONNECT , RESOURCE TO HR; --HR is user. To execute this command, login as sys You can also try to login with command prompt.
