I'm looking for an app (or something similar) which I would be able to use to log calls i.e. the date, time, who the caller is and what the call was about. I've looked through some of the different apps provided but as I'm fairly new to SharePoint I'm not 100% sure which one would be best to use.
Thank you
I am having problems figuring out a calendar workflow and am beginning to think what I need cannot be done w/out using .NET. I want to copy calendar items up and down between sites.
The site collection structure is Office-->Division-->Branch. There are 5 divisions under the office and multiple branches under each division. Each is a separate site with its own own calendar.
I want to populate a calendar on one site and have the item pushed up or down the site chain to another site calendar. So I need to be able to promote calendar events up AND down between calendars on different sites within the same site collection. Also, I
don’t need the whole item copied. I need all fields except one because each site has its own set of check box values for one of the fields.
All my research has indicated this can’t be done without programming and I do not have Visual Studio. I have heard BCS may be a solution but am not sure that we have it. We are using SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Server but many things are not available to me
such as Data Sources. One recommendation I got was to have one site (office) and put everything below it as site pages. So divisions and branches would just be pages, not separate sites. However, this seems like it would get out of hand quickly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I'm building a custom list with several columns, including a Calculated column.
This calculated column simply takes the value of a choice column in the same list to convert this value to a single line of text value.
I do this because when adding a lookup column to this list, I cannot select Choice columns as additional columns, but I can add the calculated column.
Speaks for itself that this calculated column only needs to exist in the background, and end users should not see this column in the Add/Edit/Display forms.
In add/edit forms the column is not displayed, but in the display form it gets displayed.
Piece of cake I thought, I'll just set it as hidden in the content type used for the list.
When I open the column the column settings (required/optional/hidden) is grayed out, so I cannot set it to hidden.
In SP2007 this was possible, why can't I do this anymore in SP2010?
Do I miss some feature in order to do this, or is there a good reason why this seems to have changed in SP2010?

I have 4 server farm : Two WFEs and two App servers
On WFE1 and WFE2 I have SMTP installed
On App02 I have 'Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Workflow Timer Service' running.
SMTP is not installed on App02 server.
On one of the library workflow is set to send email notifications when item is uploaded , I see that it send out emails from WEB01 server most of the time , but some time it send email from APP02 server and fail to send email with error "Email sending failed. mailbox unavailable"
Do I need to have SMTP installed on APP02 server as well , My understanding is that it should use only dedicated front end servers for all outgoing emails. Does Workflow Timer Service try to send workflow email notifications from Local server ?
please help , let me know if more clarification require.

What are some solutions that have been used/implemented to prevent users who can create/edit drafts and who therefore see the latest draft version instead of published version. And inadvertently use the draft not published? ISO requires only current published version be used, and our QM person does not see how to prevent drafts from being inadvertently used.
I saw one solution posted - have a working library and a final (latest published version) library and use workflow to copy from former to latter for new published versions.
Any other suggestions - OOB or 3rd party?
Thanks,
Joan
Hi all,
I had to restore a web application from one of my farms, and since then, when anyone wants to access the site, although we are using Integrated Windows Authentication, a window with title "Sign In" appears, and asks to "Select the credentials you want to use to logon to this SharePoint site:" and gives three equal options "Windows Authentication":
As soon as one chooses one, it enters the site without any further problem.
Can anyone help me find what's wrong, please? I can´t find any information on this problem and it is really bugging me..
TIA

So I have set up an Issue Tracking list and the notification for who get's the issue assigned works fine. What I am looking for is an email to be sent to the person who is publishing the issue. For example, if someone in the company creates and issue, I would like THEM to get an email as well so they can get updates along the way of the issue being taken care of.
Thank you
My office uses SharePoint 2010, and we recently upgraded all workstations from Office 2010 to Office 2013. One user is experiencing an issue where in certain sharepoint libraries she cannot open workflows on documents. When she selects the open workflow option at the top of the screen she gets the error: "Word cannot open a new form. One or more required custom controls in this form cannot be created."
I repaired her office once, uninstalled and reinstalled it twice, installed the old version of InfoPath (2010) to see if that would help, it did not. At this point we had several other users who also had appropriate permissions try the work flow and it worked fine for them (note that they are also using office 2013).
So if that wasn't weird enough, I moved her to another PC and the problem persisted. Next I deleted her profile from the PC and disabled her roaming profile to ensure no application settings were following her, and it still displayed the same error. Lastly, I connected her to a VM with office 2010 on it and she COULD open the workflow.
This is perplexing since the issue follows her to any PC even without a profile as long as she's using Office 2013, but other Office 2013 users have no problem with these workflows and it works for her when she is using office 2010.
I'm stumped. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
How do I synchronize Contact Object type in Active Directory withSharePoint 2010 , I see an article which says that "The AD import option does not support Contact objects (also known as cross-object pointers)."but it applies to SharePoint 2013 , not sure if it applies to SharePoint 2010 as well , is there any third party solution if its not possible Out of the Box.
Thanks.
I have an Office Web Apps 2013 (15.0.4569.1506), it is linked to SharePoint.
My business users are having an issue scrolling through a Word document through iPad. The iPad is in iOS 8.1.1.
The user is able to open the document, but not to scroll.
The page always stuck on the first page. This issue is similar to this Question.
Has anyone experienced the same issue here?
So a little background is I come as a long-time user of WSS3/2007 and with my call logs I've had workflows and the interface customized to the point it worked great for our needs. I also shyed away from SP 2013 because it's even less customizable(SQL data views and charts on data/custom lookup pages), but for SP 2010 I've gone ahead and attempted to create another issue tracking/call logging system like I had before (at another company).
What you're seeing below (actually wont let me post it yet) is that when you update a call log it will continually append and users can view it inline/like a forum. Right now I've made SP2010 not pop-up a dialog box, but still cannot get it to show
me anything but the 'last update' without having the user going to 'versions' and reviewing the history in that convoluted way... Can this be changed? Thoughts?
I am wanting to set up a Chart Webpart pointing to an SP list containing a leaderboard - basically just Employee Name and how many nominations.
How can I set the Chart Webpart so only the top 5 are showing? As in the 5 with the highest number.
Hello,
I am trying to add a simple CRM 2013 dashboard to a SharePoint 2010 web page (Page Viewer web part). The page shows the banner only - the dark blue banner from CRM, but that is it. No data, no headers, etc.
Is this a permissions issue? The SP and CRM servers and user are all on the domain.
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble doing something that seems simple to me but I can't figure out a way to get it to work.
I have a discussion board on an internal corporate site. The design of this board is intended to allow general users to post their thoughts, but that these threads require moderator approval before they are shown to all users. I wanted to use Content Approval for this, so I turned that on. But this is creating problems.
To submit a new thread the user fills out a simple form and clicks save. However, there are several fields that are hidden from the user and only used by the moderator. These include things like "Status" which has the following options:
-Open
-Closed
-Pending
I require this because I want 'closed' items to be shown in an Archive view, while Open items only show in the Current view. However, I can't show this field to the user on the new/edit form because I don't want them to be able to change it! As a result, I assumed the workaround I would use would be to create an admin-only datasheet view where the moderator can directly change these fields in the sheet. Unfortunately, everything is in Read Only mode so I can't do a thing there.
Does anyone have any idea how I could either produce an editable admin-only view which shows the admin fields, or some other way that allows me to manage these fields behind the scenes?
thank you!
Potential Solutions?
-Turn off content approval, not really great because I need this feature. Unless I turn it off and use the approval workflow instead, but that isn't ideal.
