Storytelling With Analytics

I recently have come to learn that there are 6 types of Event Receivers that can be done in SharePoint 2010. I thought I could share them here. List Events - Adding/ed a new list field. Updating/ed a field. List Item Events - Adding/ed a new list item or document. Document checking/ed in or out. Adding/ed an attachment. Deleting/ed an item or document. List Email Events - A list received an email. Web Events - Deleting/ed a site collection or site. Creating/ed a new site collection or sub site. Feature Events - Feature activating/ed or deactivating/ed. List Workflow Events - A workflow is starting/ed, postponed, or completed. Thanks to Isha.

Hello fox, While going through a training video of the Collaboration module of the SharePoint Training Kit, I happened to to have clicked "Complete Training". After which, when I tried to view the video again, its assigned action read as "Continue", so when I clicked on "Continue", it brought up a message saying "Assignment Not Available. This assignment is not available because it has been submitted as complete. You can review this assignment after it is returned by your instructor.". So I tried to log in to the site as an instructor but i still couldn't review any assignments. I therefore went into the SQL Database, tried to study the tables in the DB, and i finally found that in the STKTrainingResult table, a record for every training module you take is entered in this table, and there was a column named "TrainingStatus" on my particular training record that needed to change from 0 to 1 the time I had clicked on "complete tr...

I recently had to do a workflow from SharePoint Designer 2010, that sends an email once a list item is created. After publishing it to its associated list in SharePoint 2010, I found that the workflow was not automatically starting when I create a list item, but when I manually start it, it would work. After some research, I found that I initially created it using the system account. So I then tried to use my own user account that was site collection admin on the site, to re-create the workflow, published it, and it now worked. Am still yet to understand why this is so.

To Start Year 2010, I thought I could come up with a list of a few simple things you can do with SharePoint Intranet to quickly start getting your ROI: 1. You can use your SharePoint lists to organize and track your organizations travel schedules. 2. You can create a web based company notice board. 3. You can set up departmental sites for your organization. 4. On your departmental sites, you can use the shared calendars to schedule meetings, display when key staff would be away from office, as well as show company recognized public holidays. 5. With company naming standards in place, you can upload your standard operating procedures (SOPs) to designations Document libraries. 6. Using lists, you can track your company’s invoices from the point of receipt to the point of paying it off. 7. You can set up a news site that has RSS feeds from other external news websites. 8. You can set up a helpdesk system that would allow your organizations users to log in calls online and be able to track...

When trying to upload file, then boom!!! you come across error: "Unable to complete this operation. Please contact your administrator", chances are that the partition drive on the machine where your Content database is sitting has run out of space. Therefore, you will have to look for alternatives of increasing the free space otherwise relocate your SharePoint databases.

Just thought I could save someone some time.... Imagine you are trying to create a SharePoint view, were you want to group by a specific column, but when you go to group-by drop down list, your column does not show up. Chances are that the column you are trying to group by is of type 'multiple lines of text'. Unless you can do some custom dev on this, a quick and simple solution will be to just change its type to 'single line of text', and your column will now appear in the group-by drop down.

Reporting to you live from Code|Influence... My colleague and I have been managing our organization's SharePoint infrastructure for some time now and we have just rolled out the first K2 BlackPoint in the country, intended mostly for SharePoint workflow developments.
