Hi SharePoint masters!
I would like to customize the popup that shows when users click to check in a document. Currently it only shows a text field, where users add a comment. I would like to add other fields such as time spent working on this document, and other attributes, and store all of them in a SharePoint list to log all the time spent.
Is this possible? i.e. when users choose to check in a document, I show a custom form instead of the default form that only asks for a comment.
Thank you,
BoNDoK

I have taken over a project from someone who has left the business.
It is a Microsoft PowerApp which provides users with a form interface to upload items into a SharePoint list.
The submit button in the app works and the function is "SubmitForm(formName)"
My question is how does it know which fields to submit into which column in SharePoint?
for instance if I wanted to create a textbox in the form for "First Name" how would I make the powerapp submit the contents of that textbox into firstname field?

I think you lack knowledge of powerapps w.r.t sharepoint.
Go through one of the example mentioned in docs of micro soft and you will get idea of how mapping of fields are done.
Your main concern is mapping fields.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/app-from-sharepoint
If you check your edit form, and click on any of your field/data card you will find settings as below. Here I have created custom column as "NumberColumn" and you can find Data properties same for your field as well.
I'm trying to create an powerapps app for audits. These audits have multiple questions and I want to create a screen where the user can awnser multiple questions in 1 screen. But all questions have to be linked to the audit. So if a question is already filled in it will display the awnser and is able to edit this if needed.
Every question needs to get a grade (1-10) and a description of the awnser.
I already have a detail screen for the audit itself with the base information. idealy i want a button that can go to the questions and fill them in. I'm using multiple sharepoint databases to store the information. So i would like to store the awnsers here as wel. For the awnsers i made a seperate database linked to the audit and the question.
I also have a database for the information of the audit and one for all the questions.
So my question is how do filter a gallery based on the audittitle? and also how do i save this information easily in the sharepoint envoirment
Screenshots could have clarified the problem in a better way, but as much as I could understand from the problem subject, here is a solution to "how-to-filter-a-powerapps-gallery-based-on-previous-screen" :
When you have lots of fields in previous screen which is required for filtering.
You can store the values on previous screen either in a sharepoint list (by submitting the forms from previous screen ) and then fetching them to filter content ( by having a gallery inside a gallery)
OR
When you have less number of fields.
You can simply store the values in variables by using Set(a,box1.text) ((where a is the variable name and box1 is the input box) function on navigation to new page ( by putting this in Onselect menu) and then using it in the filter command.
Here is the steps to filter a gallery from the value coming from previous page.
put a button on the screen from where you want the value
on select property of the button put this code
Navigate(screenName,screenTransition,{variableName:valueToFilter})
Now on the Items property of Gallery put below code
Filter(datasource,columnToFilter = variableName)
Note that this variableName should be the same as above.
This will filter out your data in gallery.
For your 2nd question:
Create a list in Sharepoint which will have all the questions/fields.
Connect this list to your PowerApps app
insert a form on a screen.
add your Sharepoint list as a data source to the form
insert the button on the same page as form
onSelect property of button put this code
SubmitForm(formName)
I have been researching this for some time, and have not been able to find a solution. I would just like to have a search bar that when an ID is entered, the search will return all the list items that have that ID.
I'm sure I am leaving out details (as I am a sharepoint novice), but any help would be greatly appreciated.
What you need is not search, but filter.
In the view of you library, follow these steps :
Put the page in edit mode
Add a web part "Text Filter Web Part"
Open its tool pane
Name the filter, "IDFilter" for example, and validate
Still in edit mode, select "Modify shared Web Part" --> "Connections" --> "Send filter values to name of your library"
Choose the field that holds your ID and click "Finish"
That's it. You can now type the ID in the field, and it will dynamically apply a filter on the ID field.
That said, you should post you future questions on http://SharePoint.stackexchange.com. this is a SharePoint dedicated stackexchange site.
I'm trying to make a custom list for inquiries, where users will fill in some information such as "Name", "Reason" etc. When they've finished filling in the information and added the item, the administrator will then go through the item, and fill in some new columns that the user hasn't been able to fill in.
I hope you understand me, otherwise you're more than welcome to ask questions!
With SharePoint designer 2007, you can use the SPSecurityTrimmedControl who enable you to show/hide form field (or site action...).
Syntax :
<SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl PermissionsString="ManageLists" runat="server">
WHAT_YOU_WANT_TO_HIDE_HERE
</SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>
For the PermissionsString, all values HERE
You'll need to use SharePoint Designer. You will create custom new and edit forms. This way when the user fills in the new form, only certain fields will appear. Then when the administrator edits the item using the edit form, they will have access to more fields.
Please see this link for more information.
Try making a copy of the form you wish to edit by copying and pasting to the same folder. Then click on the web part for the form and the code above will highlight . Look for tags IsVisible and change it from "true" to "false". This will hide the default form. Do not delete the original form.
Click on the web part in the design view then press your right arrow. This will move the cursor to right after the web part but still within the web part zone. Go to the Insert menu, select SharePoint Controls then Custom List form. A small dialog window will appear, select the list name from the first drop down, then select the content type from the second drop down. Finally select which form you want to insert, New, Edit or Display. Click OK. The new form will be displayed under the default form, and you will then see all of the fields in order and you can add or remove as you like.
If one did not want to edit the pages, couldn't one use Jquery to hide the fields? I have done this with SPservices. to check the user credentials if you will and then if matched display the hidden fields... all this is done from a web part...just a thought...I actually learned something great today.. great replies.
I have a Survey list which has several questions, one of those is people picker field and the another one is single line of text field.
I need to hide a perticular question ( field ) based on login user. Requirement is as below
When the user logs in as admin
a. Display ‘people picker’ and should not allow user to pick his name from people picker.
b. Hide Single line of Text field.
When the user logs in as ‘Non-Admin’
a. Display ‘Single line of Text' field and default it to have the logged in user name (without domain name).
b. Hide ‘People picker’ control.
I am thinking that we can do it by placing javascript in content editor webpart and add it in newform.apx of survey list. Can anybody give me the proper approach to get it done?
Thanks in advance
You might like to try creating a custom field control, a differnet one for each field.
Javascript is fast and involves minimal deployment, but is fiddly and can be turned off.
