Inactive Tab Redirects to SharePoint Home
Is there a way to prevent inactive tabs from eventually redirecting to the SharePoint home page? I rely on keeping important documents (Word, PPT, etc.) open in tab groups in MS Edge to return to for reference, but I'm finding that they sometimes end up redirecting back to the home page. What's worse is that when this happens, I can't go "back" to the original document. If I don't remember what the document was to reload it, I'm out of luck, which is extremely frustrating.
Dropbox Migration apparently completed but stuck finalizing
I have successfully migrated user folders and two library folders from Dropbox to Sharepoint with no errors. But I have two migrations left, the largest of the set (660GB and 220GB) which showed Completed and are now showing 'Finalizing', and have been on finalizing for over 48hrs now. There are some failures (169 files out of 180,000 copied). I am not sure if that is the reason finalising has not finished? I am not sure how to proceed now. (I am a very novice 'in house' sharepoint admin!) thanks in advance
Visio diagram on sharepoint: including sharepoint meta data in a "header group" on the Visio diagram
How do I include some of the sharepoint meta data for the diagram as text in shapes on the Visio diagram. For example to include Title, Last modified, who modified and "Business Owner" (which is a custom meta data column). I want the text on the Visio shapes to be updated automatically when the relevant meta data is updated on sharepoint. Thanks.
SharePoint Server migration to SP Online with lot of form library
Hi! I would like to ask some experience, best practice for SharePoint migration: In SharePOint Server 2016 we have a lot of InfoPath form, over 300 item in form library: if there are contents that just need to be read in SP Online, I don't want to transfer them to a list and Power Apps, how can I fo it? has anyone used a good migration tool from InfoPath to Power Apps? if you didn't migrate to power apps, what solution did you choose? We have a more than 280 workflow, I read the SPMT can migrate workflow to Power Automate: does anyone have experience with this, does it work well? or other migration tool (free preferred) Thanks :)
Syntax error on calculated column formula - date
Trying to get this formula to work in SharePoint. What I am trying to achieve is a column that calculates the date based on the input on two columns. I got this to work, but when one of the columns or both are blank, it puts an arbitrary date of 30/12/3799. I want this to be blank if one of the input columns is blank. So the current formula is: =DATE(YEAR([Review Date])),MONTH([Review Date])+[Review Cycle],DAY([Review Date])) For example, Review Date is 1/1/2025 and Review Cycle is 6 then the output is 1/7/2025, which works fine. What I tried to do based on research is =IF(ISBLANK([Review Date]),“”,DATE(YEAR([Review Date])),MONTH([Review Date])+[Review Cycle],DAY([Review Date])) That gives me a syntax error. I tried adding parentheses, but that doesn't seem to fix it. I am probably missing a bracket somewhere, not closing the parentheses. Any thoughts are welcome.
Library: view all folders to navigate, but not documents?
We have a site with a library of documents that are related to individual users. I need to configure permissions to a large group to navigate through all subfolders, but when he reach a final folder with documents, view only those than he is granted access. In example i have 3 folders: Main forder Security. 2 subfolders, every one with 2 subfolders more (2024 and 2025): Security > Security issues Security > Security reports In "Security\Security reports\2024" we have 50 pdf files, and everyone has granted access to a number of users. We need to display all route to documents (Security > Security reports > 2024) but only one document to every user, not all of fifty. How can we configure permissions for that library?Sharepoint Library Folder Depth - filename/path limits
I have two questions regarding SharePoint library limits (or best practices?). A couple of years ago we were advised to limit our folder depth in SharePoint libraries to no more than 3 folder/subfolders deep. We were told there wasn't a folder limit specifically, but either there was a limit (or maybe just issues) if the filename/path was too long. As I said it's been at least two years since we were advised this and I didn't know if this was still an issue. 1. We now have a use case where a department is moving several thousand files into a SP Library and the documents are in a nested folder structure that's definitely more than 3 folders deep. There's nothing to prevent them from doing this. What are the potential consequences/issues of this type of a library? 2. And on a related note, is there an update to the recommended limitation of 5000 docs in a library (or is it a limit per folder)? And what are the potential consequences/issues of a library with more than 5000 docs?
How to pass a value from the PropertyPane to the webpart in SPFx?
I have made a SharePoint webpart with the PnP ListPicker on the PropertyPane of the webpart and the PnP DateTimePicker on the webpart itself. How can I pass the value "Lists:string|string[]" on the PropertyPane: export interface IPnPDatePickerWpWebPartProps { lists: string | string[]; // Stores the list ID(s) } To the OnChangeEvent that resides on the webpart itself: private handleChanged = async (date: Date): Promise<void> => { await sp.web.lists.getByTitle("xxxxxxxx").items.getById(103).update( { 'CustomDate': date } ) }; Gr. PAdding bitmaps to SharePoint Online sites
Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to add bitmaps to SharePoint sites? I would use one image and then define regions that when you click, will go to a different page. I found the following link that appears to do what I want: Create a Clickable Image Map in SharePoint Online - SharePoint Diary But when I tried to embed the code, it would have an error that I have to embed the code within an <iframe>. But when I did this, the regions I defined no longer worked. Sincerely, Jason
