I do not have access to SPD.
I only have access to creating lists and libraries from the site settings menu
My requirement is to
1. Create folders under a document library - Acheived
2.Create a list with columns
a. Name
b. folder name
c. primary contact
of the above folder naem should be looking up to the Document Library
when A User clicks on the folder name, it should redirect to the respective folder.
My Problem : Clicking the folder name opens a pop up window with options to edit the item
instead of redirecting the user to the folder
I setup this up the same way in SharePoint 2013. Upon clicking on the folder name in the list it opened the dialog box with options to edit the item which is By Design. But, I also had an option on the Ribbon Bar in the dialog box to "Open" the folder directly.
There might be a way to create a Hyperlink column in the list and create a workflow to update the column with the actual URL of the folder location which would resolve your issue but since you do not have access to SharePoint Designer this will not be an option.

Creating from blank Powerapp canvas Sharepoint lookup fields are not visible when editing form.
It is working fine if I start creating my app from Sharepoint data however I need tablet/web layout. I am using on-prem Sharepoint data and a gateway.
Update: As a workaround I was able to convert my phone layout app derived from sharepoint list to a tablet layout by saving to local folder and updating the properties json file.
Steps:
Save phone layout app created from sharepoint data to local folder.
Create a blank app from tablet layout and save to local folder.
Rename both .msapp files by adding the .zip extension.
Extract both file to one directory
open the properties.json file of both apps and update the LocalConnectionReferences, DocumentLayoutWidth, DocumentLayoutHeight, DocumentLayoutOrientation, DocumentAppType to be the same as the value of the blank app
Save and drag updated properties.json to the original zip file.
Rename from zip to msapp extension.
Reopen from powerapps, browse from local folder.
Click App Settings.Click Screen size + orientation.
In the Size radio button, select 3:2. Click Apply.Click Save.
In the Size radio button, select 16:9.Click Apply.Click Save.
Would you be willing to try this method? (You can mute the sound if it bothers you.)

If you don't like that approach:
Forms: Try selecting the form control, then use the right properties panel to click on edit fields. The lookup column should be listed in the area with the checkboxes. If it is a brand new lookup column that you recently added to SharePoint, then try saving and closing your app, then reopening to force a hard refresh of the data.
Galleries: Click on the label control where you want the lookup, then use the formula bar TEXT property and use the formula ThisItem. followed by the field name then followed by another . (dot) then Value.
SOLVED:
I was able to add permissions for the user specified in the item Name field following these steps:
From within the Impersonation Step, add a Add List Item Permissions action.
Click these permissions link and then click the Add button.
In the Add Permissions dialogue box, click the Choose button.
Click the Workflow Lookup for a User from the user list and click Add.
In the Lookup for Person or Group dialogue box, set the Data source value to Current Item.
Set the Field from source field to the field that contains the user and click OK in the dialogue boxes to complete them.
Last thing you need to do is click the this list link in the action and select Current Item.
I have a simple SharePoint list with 3 fields: Title, Name, Idea. Using SharePoint Designer 2013 and implementing a 2010 workflow, I am able to strip the permissions of items as they are added to the list.
My question is this: is there a way to add permissions for a user that's specified in the Name field? So if John creates and item and enters "Sam" in the Name field, then Sam will receive unique permissions.
Thanks for the help. This would be relatively simple using Nintex :-/
You can create custom workflow activity to grant permissions to specific user on listitem.
There are lot of activities available for sharepoint designer to grant permissions.

I have several Infopath form templates on my sharepoint site. Normally, I have to go to each library, then click "Add document" to open InfoPath. Instead, I would like to build a web part that displays all of the titles (of the forms and therefore of the libraries) and open Infopath with one click on the form name. How can I do this?
The easiest way to solve this is by creating a Content Editor WebPart in which you add links to the forms.
1) Go to the library you want to add and click the "add" button
2) Copy the url of the newly opened page (InfoPath form)
3) Add a new hyperlink to the CEWP and paste the url
Repeat this steps for all lists.
I am new to SharePoint. I was hoping you can point me to the right direction to start with.
Here is what I have and am trying to do:
I have one top level site and many sub-sites.
A top level site and all sub-sites have a list called "Account"
I want to add a new Import from Excel Robbon button to the Account List\List Tools\Items\New for all sub-sites and not for the top level site
When user clicks on the newly added button, I want to display a dialog window which can allow users to browse an excel file on their computer
What would be the best and easiest way for me to add the ribbon button along with the import form to all sub-sites only for the Account list?
Thank you :)
I would suggest using a different content type for the lists in the subsite, one derived from the top level content type. This way you can easily create a ribbon button and assign it to the new content type only
Add Floating Menu Item to the Page Library "E.g. Copy Item".
Once user selects option, It should
Copy entire selected row's information including Page.
Let user rename the page.
Create a new row in the same Page Library.
Save the copied information in the newly created row.
Thank you for your help
Instead of writing out the entire answer, here's some guidance on a way of doing this:
1) Create a CustomAction in the EditControlBlock for the Page Content Type (or related) containing a UrlAction that goes to a custom ASPX Page, passing required parameters through the aforementioned UrlAction (look into {ListId} and {ItemId} tokens). In this ASPX page, have a field to enter the new Page Name, and then a button to complete the copy and return to the list.
Here is a good starting point:
