Dear Community, When you add a PowerBI webpart on the page, you usually provide the URL to the report, which is static. How can I customise to display a list of PowerBI reports based on the logged in user, like a dynamic card? If possible, based on all the reports that the user has access to, sort them in the order of last visited or most visited and display like top 5 reports. Thanks!nhtkidFeb 19, 2025Iron Contributor4Views0likes0CommentsHow to put the today's date as default in the list cell?
I have a SharePoint List with just one column called "CustomDate" with type Date/Time. And i have inserted just one row for displaying the date. I have found code from the Github to display a DateTimePicker from the List cell itself. Only when i click on the cell the DateTimePicker appears with the today's date. But the Today's date is default in the EditField. I know this line has to be customized. But i do not know how: "txtContent": "=toLocaleDateString(Date([$CustomDate]))", "inlineEditField": "[$CustomDate]" How can i make the date default in de editbox? This is the whole code: { "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json", "elmType": "div", "children": [ { "elmType": "div", "style": { "font-size": "12pt", "padding": "5px" }, "txtContent": "=toLocaleDateString(Date([$CustomDate]))", "inlineEditField": "[$CustomDate]" } ] } Gr.

One of the greatest issues our staff has had is using the sorting views in SharePoint. Let's say the view is sorting folders based on Status:Active. When they open that folder, if the value for those files / folders in that folder aren't also Active, the folder apperas empty (with an easily overlooked tag indicating the applied filter). While I understand the logic behind why this happens, I can not oversate how horrendous this is as a user expereince. It should be either that the view is locked to a root folder path or the view is cleared out whenever another fodler is selected. Or, there may be some other function here I'm not aware of.Anthony-123Feb 19, 2025Iron Contributor11Views0likes1CommentLocking the Default view
I don't know how this keeps happening but everytime I change the default view for a directory it keeps changing to something else. It's driving me mad and it's confusing our users. As the admin, I need to be able to create a view, save it as default, and prevent anyone from changing it. I would love others to create their own views and to make them public - I just need the default view to remain locked.Anthony-123Feb 19, 2025Iron Contributor10Views0likes1CommentSharePoint property panel allow us to change a Shared document set column
I have a document set content type named DS123, and it contains 2 custom columns D1 & D2 as follow:- then i created a content type named "D" which contain a custom column named "D3":- and define it inside the document set content type + i define the D1 as a shared column, as follow:- now i created a document set folder based on the DS123 , then i added a document inside it based on the "D" content type. then i selected the document, where i will get those columns (D1 -the shared column- & D3), as follow:- but the modification i do inside the D1 columns will not get applied, unlike the modification to the D3 column.. so what is the reason? is this that the D1 is a shared column from the document set? if this is the case, then how we can disable the field inside the property panel?

When working as a team on Word files within SharePoint, I constantly have problems with things like heading numbering disappearing (or changing from numbers to bullets), bullets going missing or bullets turning into numbers. From what I can see, the custom list styles in the documents go missing. Other formatting things happen, like table column widths messing up. I can fix it all, PDF it, save and close, and when I open the Word doc again it's all gone haywire once more. I was always approaching this from a Word bug perspective, but maybe it's something I'm doing wrong in regard to SharePoint. Essentially, this is my workflow: 1. Create Word template. 2. Create documents from Word template (bid response schedules, one for each). 3. Upload all files to SharePoint. At this point, the template resides on my computer, in my OneDrive folder. As I understand it, this shouldn't be an issue because unless people play around with what template the document is linked to, it shouldn't change. However, often I found that the template had reverted back to "Normal". So, I started saving the template in a location on SharePoint (along with the documents) and making sure it was linked to it. When the document styles go haywire, to fix it all I need to do is link back to the template and update the styles. I have a macro that has the location of the template hard coded, and it links the document to the template, updates the styles, then turns off the checkbox again. (Note: I always make sure the "update styles from template" is kept off). Whether the template is on my computer or on SharePoint, once the styles start messing up they will continue to keep messing up, so putting the template on SharePoint doesn't seem to have fixed it. I'm outlining this process because all the forum posts I've found seem to treat SharePoint more as a space where templates are uploaded and people use the "New" button to create and then save documents straight into SharePoint from Templates that are uploaded into the site library. This is obviously not how we are using it: these Teams sites are created per project, we do our submission and then move on. I'm the only one creating documents and other people contribute to them. Is there something I'm doing fundamentally wrong and that's why these issues happen? If not, has anyone seen this issue and worked out what causes it?AndrewB_33334Feb 18, 2025Copper Contributor81KViews5likes83CommentsWhat is '_ip_UnifiedCompliancePolicyUIAct'
Our PowerAutomate workflow has broken due to an error that reads: Column '_ip_UnifiedCompliancePolicyUIAct' does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user. This is not a column that has ever existed, to my knowledge. The action in this workflow is copying a folder from one site to another. I've created a new flow that just copies the folder and I'm getting the same error. When I try to manually copy the folder in SharePoint I get an error that "something went wrong". In both cases, the folder does copy to the destination. It's just that the flow is failing. I've created the column _ip_UnifiedCompliancePolicyUIAct in both the source and desitnation folder and this appears to resolve the issue. No data is found in the column.Anthony-123Feb 18, 2025Iron Contributor43Views1like0CommentsSharepoint site synced via file explorer regularly disconnects without errors
We have an issue with one particular sharepoint site in our organisation, where, seemingly randomly, it stops syncing on user devices. No errors, nothing, just the cloud icons disappear and it's no long in sync, until you go and re-sync it. This is happening on only one site, but has happened on 10+ different devices over the past month or so. The site in question only has about 6k files in it, it's about 30gb. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this? Currently how I'm finding out about it is a user contacts me with "Bob is saying he can't see the file I save in XYZ folder but I saved it in there over a week ago". I go an look and can't see the file, check their machine and it's stopped syncing that same site, resync it and it works again for maybe a month.alexbnzFeb 18, 2025Copper Contributor87Views2likes2Comments
