Find the name and size of the uploaded document using Fiddler? - sharepoint

Will I be able to identify the name and size of a document that I am trying to upload into a SharePoint 2007 document library using Fiddler2 tool?

Follow these steps:
With Fiddler running, select the relevant entry for upload.aspx.
Switch to 'Inspectors / Headers'
Have a look at 'Entity / Content-Length'
I just did a test and it roughly corresponds with the length of the file. I am not sure if it is a 100% match or if headers etc are counted towards this length as well.

Open the document library in Explorer View
copy & Paste the document
Fiddler->Inspectors->Entirty->content-length
Fiddlet-> Textview -> will be able to see the Name ofthe file.

Version Number on Word document in SharePoint Online

I am trying to insert the version number stored in SharePoint Online into my Word document - I've done the following thus far:
Activated the Library and Folder Based Retention Site Collection feature
Checked "Enable Labels" in the Information Management Policy Settings for the Document Content Type, and entered "{Version}" into the Label format field
Created a Word document in my library
Opened the document in Word, and inserted a Quick Part (Document Property > Label)
What shows up on the document is {_UIVersionString}, not the actual version number. Not sure what's going on - it seems so close.
In my test, I cannot reproduce your problem.
I can display the correct version number in the document. Below is a screenshot of my test:
This may be caused by the cache, I suggest you to clean up the cache of the SharePoint page and Office first.
You can provide your detailed screenshots, which can help us solve the problem better.

Kofax "edit table header" not allowing second page navigation of a single document

It has been more than a week, i have tried almost all option on Kofax Total Agility 7.6 "Transformation Designer"
I have a requirement of:
Locating and Extracting the table content of a document(English or French)
To be able to do that i follow steps:
Open "Transformation Designer"
Created an extraction project, attached a sample document (having 5 pages)
Navigate to project settings->Table tab
Trying to create new "table header pack"
When i am trying to train system for header and non header lines, i am unable to navigate from pages of a same document, the image-viewer screen is showing only first page of a selected document and there is no next page button/navigation, only next document button/navigation is available.
Note: All training material covers only single page document where extraction is quite straight forward
Exact question is How should someone train "table header pack" when table is on the second or third page of a document
Any help?
Have not received anything from forum about the same. So in my case i will create zone, for each Table Cell than map it to table schema by code: Internal or External
I have been in the same situation and resolved it by changing the sample multi-page image into single page Tiff images. The you can create a doc with the table starting on page 1. When you test you'll find that it still finds the table starting on the nth page.
E.g. KTA comes with the Repository Browser (separate installation) which allows you to export documents as single-page Tiff images.

How to get data from Sharepoint excel datasource to Power BI desktop?

I want to load an excel which is in Share point to Power Bi Desktop.
I have tried loading the sheet by using the data source SharePoint List but failed as its throwing an error. Please help me by suggesting any other way.
Thank you.
I would use Get Data / Web. It will automatically recognize that the target is an Excel file and generate the M functions to interpret it.
The trick can be getting the true link to the SharePoint file - something you can just paste into a browser's address bar so it will download the file directly.
For SharePoint Online, I use Get a Link / Restricted Link, then delete any trailing query parameters after the file name, typically ?d=blabla
That should also work for SharePoint 2016. From memory it was easier in the earlier versions.
I suggest choosing Sharepoint Folder from the Get Data menu.
Then you need to enter the site's (or subsite) root url (not the direct link to the excel file)
For example, you would connect to.
https://yourcompany.sharepoint.com/training/
Instead of the full address.
https://yourcompany.sharepoint.com/:x:/r/training/_layouts/19/Doc.aspx?sourcedoc=%2asdfasdfasdfasdf%7D&action=default&uid=%7asdfasdfasdf-4662-A7A5-asdfasdf%7D&ListItemId=2&ListId=%7asdfasdfasdfa3443445&env=prod
Then press Edit to reveal all of the documents stored at that root. By clicking the binary link, the query editor will reveal the contents of the file. Then select the tab you're interested in loading by selecting the Table under the data column.
Steps to get the data from sharepoint to Power BI:
Select the File available to share pont
Click on three dots
Go to Open-> Open in app
In app, click on File -> Info -> Copy Path
Open Power BI, New Source-> Web
Add URL, delete (data with and after ?)

Uploading documents from iManage into SharePoint 2010

I have a requirement from my client to upload documents from iManage/FileSite into SharePoint 2010. When they try to upload documents into the document library they would also like to have an option to get the documents from iManage, other than from the filesystem. Please let me know if there is any easy solution to achieve this. Custom coding is also fine with me.
Thanks in advance.
Use the SPSite Class's Files.Add to upload your file from your alternate source.
There's a complete walkthrough of uploading a local file on MSDN.
I have developed a solution for this that uses the IWL protocol, but this would assume the user has WorkSite/DeskSite installed on their computer, and are running WorkSite 8.5 or greater.
iwl:dms={SERVERNAME}&lib={LIBRARY}&num={DocumentID}&ver={DocumentVersion}&command=opencmd
I then developed a insert link option for a user to insert a WorkSite link and they provide the link text, document number and version.
Another alternative is to upload a NRL file, but again this assumes the user has WorkSite/DeskSite installed.
In my case I wanted to have a hyperlink column in the Sharepoint 2013 pointing to a document in my fileSite.
e.g link: iwl:dms=DEV85SERVER&lib=LIVE&num=25210&ver=1
e.g link description: Document test
I tried to create a hyperlink column but SharePoint didn't recognize my DMS link.
So I had to create a calculated column to make the DMS link works.
Create a column called "Document Link" as Single line of text.
Create another column called "Document Description" as Single line of text.
Create a third column called "Link" as a calculated column.
3.1 insert the following formula:
=IF([Document Link]="","To be inserted","<a href='"&[Document Link]&"'>"&[Document Description]&"</a>")
3.2 Change the type returned from this formula to "Number"
Done!
This is just an example. I hope it helps.

SharePoint Designer 2007 - link to a Document Library on a site from another site?

I am trying to create a link to an existing Shared Documents folder on another site. Both sites are on the same server.
Here are the steps I take to create a link to an existing Document Library:
I create a document library web page in Share Point 2007.
I open the document library (AllItems.ASPX) in Share Point Designer.
I delete the existing web part for the list.
In the Data Source Library, I click on "connect to another library" and create a connection to the other site.
I select the document library, click show data, select my rows and click Insert Multiple Item View.
I then configure the look for each field (hyperlinks, etc).
I edit the Filter for this view to show only the files that are for this location.
I click on Data View Properties and select "Enable sorting and filtering on columns (basic table layout only).
Basically I am trying to have a central location for all files for a site and sub sites. I want the sub sites to see the documents for their own location, be able to search through the files, etc.
The problems I am having are:
I am unable to open the links in a new window, even when I set the hyperlink to do so. I would prefer the file be opened in its native application (ie. A Word doc open in Word).
I am unable to show the file icon in the same way it shows up in the original document library.
When I go to the header and click ANY field, I can sort the field ascending or descending but I always get a message stating "This column type cannot be filtered".
Is there an easier way to do this? Or can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I am new to using Share Point. Thanks for the help!
Some help for problem 1 (unable to open the links in a new window)...
I'm not sure if this will work using the Data View Web Part you have configured. However there is a technique for the List View Web Part. If you add a boolean field called OpenInNewWindow to your document library then documents that have this set to Yes will open in a new window. Try this out - it may work.
If you need to open PDF files in a new window, beware that there is an ActiveX control that will get in the way. Read this question for more information.
