For daily operative issues, I need to recover the path of a report by entering the subject
of the email he receives.
For example: A customer receives a mail with the subject 'Sells report' and the report it's in 'Reports/Sells/Customer1_Report'
I think I must be able to do this by querying the content store, but I don't know how to do this.
Have you done it? If you don't, do you know any tool for retreive this kind of info of the content store?
Thanks in advance, and sorry if this is too specific...
Click on the Set Properties icon for any report object in Cognos Connection. It's the first icon under "Actions" and looks like a finger pointing at a box with red writing on it.
In the upper-right hand area of the default General tab you should see a link for "View the search path, ID and URL". Click that link to display the Search path, Unique ID (CAM) and Default action URL for the object.
Your users can easily cut-and-paste the Search Path entry into an email to give you a nice path like /content/folder[#name='Folder Name']/report[#name='Report Name'] in their error reports.

I am sending out an HTML email to our users every week in which I want to include links to certain documents and then a link to the overall database. The database is an Xpage db.
On my docs I have a field only visible to me in which I compute the link I need. The format is as follows:
notes://servername/__.nsf/0/?OpenDocument
What I want is the URL to open not just a specific document, but the Xpages app in general. Everything I try opens up the all documents view.
notes://servername/__.nsf/
If I put this in the address bar, it works fine. If I put it in a link, it goes to the all documents view.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You could try formatting it as: notes://servername/__.nsf/nameOfXpageYouWantToOpenTo.xsp?OpenXPage
Have you set the launch properties for the database? You can specify a designated XPage in there too.
The format you are looking for is:
notes://servername/yourdb.nsf/someview/unid?OpenDocument
in the "someview" view you add a form formula to point to an empty form that has the property set "open XPage instead" - careful there are 2 of them: for web and client.
If you don't use native forms and the Xpage is always the same, then you can skip the step with the form formula and the extra form and edit the properties of the existing form.
Paul's solution should work too.
Use this code syntax to open any XPage in the Notes client:
#URLOpen("notes://Host/Path/Database.nsf/XPageName.xsp?OpenXPage")
Additional details:
And use the following to open a specific document in the XPage where unid is the unique document identifier for the document:
#URLOpen("notes://Host/Path/Database.nsf/XPageName.xsp?documentId=unid&action=openDocument")
I need to display account notes across all opportunities. typically a MSCRM creates a blank Notes section for each new Opportunity you create inside a account, but I need to display a running Account dialog of conversations to review in one continues notepad (means display all notes).
Can anyone tell me how I can display all notes in the opportunity form?
Is this possible without coding (or in fact, with coding!)
Thanks in advance,
SD
Well you can do this a few different ways.
1) The easiest way is to add an IFRAME and then point to the applicable Account notes container. You'd have to set the "id" attribute based on the account. Here's what your IFRAME url will look like:
/_controls/notes/notesdata.aspx?EnableInlineEdit=true&EnableInsert=true&id=%7bEF88BCAA-C3EB-E111-B142-78E7D162EE67%7d&ParentEntity=1
2) If you are only wanting to display the notes and not allow for a user to edit them (read-only), then you'll need to use fetch to query the annotations where the related id equals the account.
Just to be clear the on requirement here.
I believe you are saying: Each Account has multiple Opportunities, each Opportunity has many Notes. On the Account you want to show all the Notes for all the Opportunities.
I don't think you can achieve this with out of the box functionaility, I would suggest creating an SSRS report and iFrame'ing it in.
I am wondering if it is possible to have a custom form in Sharepoint 2010 where I am able to add/edit a calendar event and access the attendees list that is normally visible on the workspace page.
I assume that perhaps I need to at least hard code a workspace to be selected as I believe attendees need to be assigned to a workspace.
Open to suggestions as I'm new to Sharepoint but seems crazy having to create or link to a workplace for each event.
Greatly appreciate any help.
#WashBurn not sure if this what you are looking for. Goto your calendar - list settings. goto the "Content Types" section. click the content type...should be event. from there click "Add from existing site content types " and attendees should be in there. hope that helps!
There is a simple (unfortunately not intuitive) way to achieve what you are trying to do.
click on list settings for your calendar list. You will see about half way down a section called content types.
![enter image description here][1]
Click on the event content type (which should be there by default.
this takes you to another similar screen where you can simply add the attendees column.
Once you know that attendees are part of an event it is then intuitive.
Hope this helps.
This is one of many nasty little things that come up when you try to build your meeting management on SharePoint. Other very common problems include integration with any e-mail client, first of all Outlook but not only, sending meeting requests from SharePoint and handling the respoded attendee's status...
The SharePoint calendar e-mail extension is a third party solution that might solve your problem.
Here is the link: http://www.sapiens.at/en/products/pages/sharepoint-calendar-e-mail-extension-3.0.aspx
Every SharePoint list (wether it's document library, calendar, lnks or custom list) have both a Create Form, Edit Form and a Delete Form. Each of which you through SharePoint designer can create your own custom versions of, in your case, this is needed to edit a Calendar List item with its associates/attachments.
Read one of Microsoft's own guides on how, here
Although this is a very old post, i just ran into the same issue and figured out a way to solve this issue.
Simply go into the Content Type 'Event' and add the Column 'Attendees' :)
Then you can also use the attendees as input for a workflow, e.g. to notify them on Event creation/update. i attached two Screenshots to show how you can do that using SharePoint designer!
With this phrase you can add the Link to the Event into the Mail Body:
[%Workflow Context:Current Item URL%]
Hope that helps other people in the future.
I believe I have the solution we are all looking for.
Create a standard event calendar (the one that does not have attendees)
Add the 'Schedule and Reservations' content type to the calendar from the list settings page
Modify the 'Calendar' view so the filters read
attendees is equal to me
OR
attendees is equal to
The second entry is completely empty but allows SP to match for no attendees
You can add more columns with OR statements if you need to be sorting based on additional groups
This worked for my needs, hope it works for everyone else
since the emails loads dynamically how do you find a specific email that contains a button back to your site. This is like signing up at a site. Customer receives email to confirm.
Thanks for the support

OWA, bless MS's little hearts (at least in the circa 2003 version I'm looking at here) uses frames, so first of all brush up on that or you are gonna be hating life. The list of incoming messages is in a frame named 'viewer' The message summaries are contained in a table lacking any useful means to identify it that is in a div of class 'msgViewerCont" and an ID of dvContents. So to see if a message exists you want to look to see if you can find a row in that table which contains the subject you expect to see.
(be careful using ID values on OWA.. apparently nobody in the group that developed it read the part of the HTML standard that specifies that ID values are supposed to be unique.. the re-use them all over that page.)
Presuming you know the subject of the message you are about to receive, and also that you keep that mail account cleared out so that it will be the ONLY message there with that subject line, then you can check to see if it exists usng
subject = regex.new("subject you are looking for")
browser.frame(:name, 'viewer').div(:id, dvContents).table(:index, 1).row(:text, subject).exists?
to click on it use .click instead of exists.
once you've clicked it, OWA will refresh the PreviewPane iframe.. inside that iframe is another one that has the message body in it.
all those frames, are nested inside the viewer frame. welcome to nested frame hell. hope you enjoy your stay. (like I said, bone up on frames, you're in for a fun ride)
I have created a Custom Edit Form for a custom list using SharePoint designer. I need to check that the current user is the author of the list item before displaying the form as only the author should be able to edit this content. I don't have server access so want to do this in the form itself using XSL. So far, I haven't been able to retrieve the Author / Created By value. Does anyone know how to get at this value?
Thanks for your help
Iain
Update:
I can see now that the Edit Form is using a datasource which basically returns a view containing all fields in the content type. "Author" is not part of the content type (which is a custom one). I can't see any way of adding the Author to the content type. Does anyone know how this can be achieved as i think this would solve the problem.
Cheers,
Iain
Isnt it possible to use the View/Edit access settings for the list? You find them under "List settings -> Advanced Settings" or somthing like that.
To bar someone form editing an item he should not, I would not edit the edit form of the item but do this by the item's permissions set. Therefore I would add an event handler to the list which changes the list items permissions after its creation, so that only the creator of the document has the permission to edit it.
Informations about event receivers can be found on Brian Wilson's blog.
I think JMD is right. You can do this without a custom form or any coding. From the list's menu bar select Settings -> List Settings -> Advanced Settings
Once there, you should see an option in Item Level Permissions to restrict edit access to only the item's author.
