What I need is exactly that: to be able to hide ALL the fields in a SharePoint alert mail except for say Title.
Now before you mark this as a duplicate of
Hide field in SharePoint alert email,
please note that the above link does solve this, but this would require specifying each and every field to be hidden.
The properties element allows you to include or exclude fields from
the list that would be shown in the email notification. The example
below demonstrates how to exclude fields for both the immediate and
summary (digest) alerts.
<Properties>
<ImmediateNotificationExcludedFields>ID;Author;Editor;Modified_x0020_By;Created_x0020_By;_UIVersionString;ContentType;TaskGroup;IsCurrent;Attachments;NumComments;</ImmediateNotificationExcludedFields>
<DigestNotificationExcludedFields>ID;Author;Editor;Modified_x0020_By;Created_x0020_By;_UIVersionString;ContentType;TaskGroup;IsCurrent;Attachments;NumComments;</DigestNotificationExcludedFields>
</Properties>
The implications of this would mean that if there is a new field added, I would then have to update this custom template.
I was wondering if it was possible to by default just hide every field, and just specify what I want shown instead (in this case, just the Title).
Is this possible? Or am I stuck with having to state one by one what I want hidden?
If this is for a specific list, I would just create a workflow in SharePoint designer that sends an email whenever something changes on the list. This gives you 100% control over the look and feel of the notification that is sent out. However, it would not allow individuals to set up their own alerts.

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.

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've created several custom columns in the Tasks list named NotifyUser and IsUserNotified. These columns are not supposed to be changed by user. I change them programmatically only. Is there any mechanism to:
Hide those columns from the NewForm, EditForm (I wanna use
existent Forms).
Skip executing workflows when any of those two columns been changed.
Exclude columns from the notification mails (as long as user doesn't know anything about these columns, there is no need to show them).
You only can control these things if you are creating your field programmatically or via a field schema definition (deployment via WSP Solution and a feature):
Set the property Hidden to true in order to hide the field in user forms and views.
Refer to: SharePoint Workflow: how to update the item without triggering the workflow again
Should be done by 1.
You can edit your view by going in List Tools->List->List Settings->Views.
Then click on the name of your List from where you can uncheck the column that u dont want to show to the user and click ok.
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.
How can I hide a field in a SharePoint alert?
I have a custom event list (Calendar). I have a field (of type Note - aka Multi-line text) whose XML contents I generate manually in an event receiver. All my calendar views use this field as the Title for the Month, Week, and Day views.
I have a web part I include on the page that runs a jquery script that converts the XML title into a background color and mouseover text.
The problem is that this field and its ugly xml show up in sharepoint alerts. If I set the field to Hidden=true then it does not show up in the email, but it is no longer available to select as the Title for the Month, Week, and Day views when creating a new View. This is not acceptable as users need to be able to create views and be able to select this field as the title.
Is there another way to prevent this field from showing up in emails, along the lines of ShowInDisplayForm, ShowInEditForm, etc?
Would editing the fields in the alert template fix your issue?

"To exclude some fields from being rendered in the email, you should include them in the <DigestNotificationExcludedFields> and <ImmediateNotificationExcludedFields> section."
Can you set another field to have that XML and have the jquery script run against that field instead? That would leave the Title field to be used normally.
