Customizing Search Result Display for .eml files at Site Collection level
Hi everyone, I’ve noticed a specific behavior regarding how SharePoint handles search results for .eml files and I am looking for a way to optimize this. Observation: Following a migration of emails into a SharePoint Site Collection, the search results currently display the Filename as the primary heading. Since these filenames are GUIDs, they provide no context to the users. The Title property (which contains the actual email subject) is available but is not being used as the main display value in the search results. Goal: The objective is to change the search result display so that the Title/Subject is shown instead of the Filename, making the results meaningful for the end-users. Current Constraints: Permissions: Access is limited to Site Collection Administrator (no Tenant Admin access). Environment: Must remain Out-Of-The-Box. PnP Modern Search or other third-party web parts cannot be deployed in this environment. Scope: Changes need to be implemented at the Site Collection level, as tenant-wide search schema modifications are currently not an option. Technical Question: Is there a way to influence the result display logic or the mapping of Managed Properties specifically within the Site Search Schema to achieve this? I am looking for guidance on whether this can be solved through site-level configuration or if there are other OOTB workarounds to prioritize the Title property in the search UI. Any insights or documentation on how to approach this at the site level would be greatly appreciated.
SharePoint without Sync (Advice Needed)
Our biggest challenge with SharePoint is how to roll it out to End Users with no SharePoint Experience (many of these users are engineers/site based on slow(ish) internet connections. We have large (+100,000) document libraries with long paths. Sync has been a massive issue, the default behaviour has been to just use File explorer to access files, resulting in sync errors and accidental deletion of files. I am looking for advice on turning OFF sync (in the document library settings) I have concerns about doing this, as there are always times when it is easier to Sync, and this is essentially a global setting (set for all users) Has anyone had any real life use cases/experience of doing this. I cannot think of any alternatives.
Cannot see or edit the properties of documents within a document set
My users have last week started to experience an odd problem. When they click on the details pane of a document within a document set, the properties no longer load and so cannot be edited. You just get a blank properties panel with a spinning wheel constantly. This is in the modern experience. It has been working fine for over a year. If you switch to classic experience you can edit the properties. This is not an ideal solution since they have flows on the library and switching between modern and classic constantly is causing a fair amount of disruption. We've tried clearing browser cache, using a different browser. Deleting the files and re-uploading them. Nothing has worked. This is happening on all kinds of different files on this site so it's not limited to one or two. Has anyone every experienced this issue before and can anybody advise how to resolve it or what is causing it?Modern web parts appending ?web=1 to links
We're finding that modern web parts like Quick Links and Hero append "?web=1" to the end of a link to an external site. We have a couple downstream legacy systems that won't accept that in the URL and therefore the link is no good, is there a way to remove that? It does not seem like good practice to append anything to a customer supplied URL.
Sharepoint online copy to/move to issues
Hello, we are fully migrated do O365, so this question is not connected with migration issues. We use the copy/move functionality between libraries, folders within libraries or between sites quite often. There are specific reason for this: - temporary externally shared folders archived in internal sites - adjusting the content structure etc. We use web interface only (Chrome on Mac). However, the functionalities are clumsy and inconsistent: - sometimes it works without any problems - sometimes copy/move operation just hangs (0% migrated) and nothing happens (for days) - sometimes copy/move operation seems to be hanged at 0%, but in the target library/folder the files are already present and accessible - we try to move one specific folder for weeks to a different site, it never finishes, original folder is still present and the only way to check what has been moved, is to manually check the structure in the target library, file by file. There is no sign if the process is still running or not. These situations are not bound to number or size of files. It does happen with 1-2 files the same way as with many of them. There is no way to check the status of these operations (or at least I am not aware of any). So we are not able to be alerted if the operation has failed, if all the files have been moved or not. We have user complaints that they cannot find the expected files where they need to. I did not expect to have such issues with copy/move operations. Similar topic is discussed here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/Moving-or-Copying-Files-Painfully-Slow-Loss-of-Data/m-p/238315 ... with no clear solution. Am I missing something here? Should we use this functionality or not? If not, what is the preferred way?Open Files from SharePoint in "Protected" mode by default
Many users have complained about "auto save" as people open a file and start working on it immediately, not realising their changes are being saved. I know that you can use protection in Office, if the author sets it. This is a good option forcing people to "think" before editing My Question Is it possible to set this as the default either for all documents in a specific library and/or for specific usersSharepoint deleting data and sites
Hello, We have noticed an issue that started about a year ago in which data is being deleted in Sharepoint. When looking at this data in the Recycle bin, it will show it was modified/deleted by specific Users but these user deny ever doing such a thing. It is at the point in which we believe the Sharepoint system itself is actually deleting data possibly due to a bug. It would be odd for the employees tagged in the Modified By field to have deleted it. Our data is backed up so recovering any deleted items isn't the issue. The issue is that we are trying to get Microsoft to investigate. We have submitted tickets through the MS 365 portal but they state they only work on break/fix issues. Any recommendations? I can see searching the internet this issue has come up for many others in the past.List items: Enable edit, disable create item
I created a custom Permission Level in order to allow users to edit list items but disable Create New Item. It worked for my one test user, but as soon as I applied the custom permission level to a permission group of 75 users, none of them could edit. I had to just turn on the out-of-the-box permission level Contribute, which enables Create new item. If there is a limit on number of users in a permissions group, is there a setting to override it? For my custom permission, here are the pertinent 'List Permissions' settings I used: <No> Add Items <Yes> Edit Items <Yes> View Items <Yes> Open Items <Yes> View Versions <Yes> View Application Pages
