In Visio I can create template drawings(*.vstx) and I can also add more pages to a drawing (*.vsdx).
When I try to insert a template as a page into my existing drawing it opens as a totally new drawing and not as a page as I want. It seems I can only add blank pages to my existing drawing?
Anyone know any working solution on this or is it even possible?
Thanks in advance.
A template is a file to start from, not a single page to insert in another document.
Usually people insert shapes in a page, not pages on a document.
What are you trying to accomplish?
You can use this tool VisioSuperUtilities by Paul Herber
Or write your own code for do it.

I would like to display a graph on the home page of my sharepoint online site. I can add in a quick chart but it does not fit my requirements.
Basically, I have a task logger where i log all incoming tasks, they are assigned a status - closed, completed, in progress, on hold, and pending.
I would like to display this visually on the home page so we can see how many tasks per status.
I think the x axis would the status and the y axis would be the value.
I'm not sure how to achieve this? i've seen multiple examples of coding for this but being inexperienced in coding, i'm not sure how to amend or adapt the codes for my requirements.
If someone could please provide a solution or have any ideas, that would be greatly appreciated.
We can use the solution below from GitHub to achieve it.
Modern Charts
Or we can use modern script editor web part with chart js plugin and REST API to achieve your requirement.
In classic site page, we can use script/content editor web part with custom JavaScript code to achieve it.
If You don't plan to code the solution I would suggest two different then quick chart webpart approaches:
File Viewer webpart - You could create some excel file to store all Your task list there. This file could be stored on some document library. The excel file could have data in one tab and chart in other. Using File viewer You could add this excel file on any SharePoint page. On one Page You could present the tab to change data (tasks), on other the tab that has the chart. I know..a bit of a workaround but this is one of the simplest solutions I thought of without coding :)
Power BI- this tool for sure may will fit any needs as in this tool You may do almost anything. Of Course You need Power BI server for this. You may create any chart/report with this also from data taken directly from SharePoint
Hope this will be of any help to You
Right now I am learning SPFx for SharePoint Online. My customer wants to modify the 'edit form' of a document library in a way that if a user starts typing keywords into the Summary field, predifined keywords are displayed which share the same letters in the beginning.
I was wondering if I can use SPFx to geht this job done
I thought maybe I can bind the ID of the summary textbox to a javascript file which then does the heavy lifting.
Thank you for your help
Yes, you can create a edit form with SPFx, however, you can't replace the default edit form with the one you created with SPFx.
The only way to replace the default edit form is using PowerApps or InfoPath to create a new form, however, I don't think that we can achieve the goal with these two solution.
Maybe you should create your own list web part, and implement the edit button of the web part, such that the web part will show your edit form with the auto completion.
I have a little question. I developed a database using Lotus Domino Designer and I create a structure (MainStructure), then I create page (RootPage). Now I need to insert MainStructure into RootPage and I don't know how to do this. Can you help me?
If what you've done is create an outline, you will need to create a page, and within the page insert the outline with Create/Insert Embedded Element/Outline
I'm not sure this is possible, but figured I´d give it a shot. First a few pre-requeistes and environment details:
I´m using SharePoint 2010, SharePoint
Designer 2010, VS 2010
I want to create as little code as
possible, preferably, create it all via UI or Designer
use out of the box components as much
as possible
Here is What I want to do:
Have a custom list with custom columns (easy part)
Create a webpart with an edit interface to select a single item from this list
This same webpart when visible would display the contents of this selected item in a given layout
I know I can do this creating a custom web part and code it all from scratch, I guess my main question is, is there a way to do this with less code and more out of the box components in SP2010. If not, I guess I'm left with lots of C# code.
Any tips, or pointers in this direction will be most welcome. Thanks in advance.
I think what you're looking for is the Data Form Web Part.
Unfortunately, I can't find any good tutorials for 2010, but hopefully the steps should be similar to setting it up in 2007.
Thanks all for the update. In the end, i had to create quite a bit of code to get this to work:
created a web part that enumerates
the content type,
creates a light box that has a picker
then stores the ID of the content in a column
Not the easiest way,but the only way I could get it working. Thanks again!
In Sharepoint 2007, when linking to a folder or file in a Document Library, the url is long and cumbersome. Is it possible to link by the ID field?
e.g., http://domain/path/doclib/Forms/AllItems.aspx?ID=275
Whats the problem with http://domain/sites/whatever/Lists/Announcements/DispForm.aspx?ID=1&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fmoss2007dev%3A20000%2Fsites%2Farcnet%2FLists%2FAnnouncements%2FAllItems.aspx
If you remove the Source parameter your left with Whats the problem with http://domain/sites/whatever/Lists/Announcements/DispForm.aspx?ID=1. The only problem you'll have then is that the cancel button will not necessarly return you where you came from. (The cancel button would send you back to the default view as far as I know..)
On the other hand you could sneak in some code which does the redirect from a view or actually opens the document.
I know you asked specifically about 2007, but SharePoint 2010 has a cool new Document ID feature that will allow you to refer to any document in the Site Collection using the following format:
http://[sitecollectionurl]/_layouts/DocIdRedir.aspx?ID=[documentID]
