Unable to create form in SharePoint
Hi all, I'm trying to create a survey form in sharepoint so that the response sheet to the form can be worked upon collaboratively in sharepoint. Observations: I am able to create the form in my onedrive but not in sharepoint. Please see the image for error when I try to create a form in sharepoint. I am unable to move my response sheet to sharepoint without making it unlinked to the form. I also tried fetching the response sheet data using 'get data' option in the sharepoint excel but even that doesn't seem to work. This particular point I'm not very confident if I'm doing it right but I tried to follow steps given in few youtube videos. My IT support says there's no permission issue as I have 'Forms' included as one of my apps as part of my subscription. I don't know what to do next as I have to create multiple forms and their response sheets must be in sharepoint (as a sheet of a larger excel in sharepoint) for everyone to work on it. Thanks in advance for all the support.
Imported term sets, and renaming a term set
I created a term set consisting of around 450 entries, by importing from a CSV. I've now been asked to add another 100+ terms to the set. I've just read that we can only import a term set once - that there's no way of re-importing into the existing term set. I'd like to avoid adding the new terms manually! If I create a whole new term set so I can import all 550 terms from scratch, would I have to manually update all the site columns which reference the termset? Or could I rename the two termsets - give the original one a random name, then rename the new one so it has the same name as the original one?JSON formatting within SharePoint not functioning?
Hello! Has anyone noticed a sudden degradation with JSON formatting across SharePoint? I have code on a SharePoint list that has suddenly stopped working properly when I use it on another view. I cannot see to even be able to modify simple, out of the box things, like the width or height of the tile. Anyone know if there is a bug with JSON formatting at the moment?Out-of-organization profiles and content viewing
Hello, I imagine this is a relatively simple question... I built a SharePoint site for my small nonprofit, primarily for employees who use organization-issued email addresses. I also created a page specifically for our board members, who use personal (external) email accounts. I’ve granted them access to the page and to specific files stored on our organization’s S Drive. While they can access the page and some content (only when I use the Document Library web part and manually insert the file path), most SharePoint web parts don’t function properly for them. It seems that, although they technically have access, SharePoint’s other widgets hit minor permission barriers when trying to pull data—likely due to how Microsoft handles external user access. From what I’ve gathered, the best long-term solution might be to issue board members organization email addresses. One additional note: Instead of granting each board member access individually, I created a Microsoft 365 group for the board and assigned file permissions to that group. I’m wondering if this approach could also be affecting access in some way. Thank you so much!
Create a SharePoint list with documents from multiple libraries
Hi there, I have a set of 7-8 documents libraries containing documents that need to be updated regularly by various subject matter experts (SMEs) in my organisation. These individuals are listed in the metadata of each document in a 'person or group' column. It's important that we keep the data in this format as we use Microsoft approvals set up to manage the reviews. Another key consideration is that the person listed change fairly regularly as people leave the firm and roles and responsibilities change. What I would like to do is create a SharePoint list that lists each document across the libraries and which people are assigned as the reviewers. Can anyone help me with this? I understand that the lookup column doesn't support the 'people or group' data type. I have seen suggestions for setting up dynamic filtering but this might be a bit cumbersome given the number of document libraries. I could potentially use a Power Automate workflow but am not very literate in this platform so would need pretty detailed instructions. Any help would be much appreciated!Sharepoint eSignature: can't make it work
After learning that Sharepoint esignature was finally available in EU, I spent the whole day trying to implement it in my tenant (I'm Global Admin). I followed all the steps correctly, set Syntex up with the subscription, enabled for all sites etc, but it won't appear anywhere in sharepoint nor in Teams Approvals app (which was the goal all along). I can't even get to the point where I edit the pdf to prepare it for signatures, and after all these hours I just feel stupid for not understanding what I'm missing. Can anyone help?
I like to use multiple ContentTypes with Add-PnPListItem
Hello everybody, I like to use different fields from different content types in a list but cannot check it in the moment. Add-PnPListItem [-List] <ListPipeBind> [-ContentType <ContentTypePipeBind>] [-Values <Hashtable>] [-Folder <String>] [-Label <String>] [-Connection <PnPConnection>] EXAMPLE: Add-PnPListItem -List $List -ContentType "Item","Comment" -Values @{"Title" = $Title;"Sitecollection" = $SiteCollectionUrl; "Body" = $Body} Is that possible by separating each existing content type to use all fields? I tried but was not working for me Thanks in advance. Kind regards MichaelNested Dynamic Filtering on web parts does not work
I created a Sharepoint page and added an MS list web part, which I use as a "filter" selection. Then, I added a second MS list to display the main list of content items, configured with Dynamic filtering based on selecting the "filter" list. Then, I added a Document library web part, which is again configured with Dynamic Filtering based on the selection of the second content item list. Unfortunately, when you select an item from the "filter" list and then select an item from the second "content" list, the document library does not update based on the selection. HOWEVER.. If I select an item from the second "content" list without selecting an item from the "filter" list, the document library updates and shows the filtered content correctly. Any idea why it would not work and how to fix this? Seems like it should work
Site Level retention policy Vs Content type level retention policy
Inside the "Data Life Cycle management" we can define a retention policy that get applied to the whole site collection, as follow:- Also at the content type level inside our lists and libraries we can apply a retention policy, as follow:- so if the site has a retention policy applied from the "Data Life Cycle management" and we also have a retention policy applied to the content type.. which one will get applied to the underlying documents and lists and why? the one at the site level or the one at the content type level? Thanks
