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.
External Access to Sharepoint Problem
Apologies, I am not technical and I am struggling to solve an issue with an external user that I am trying to grant access to a folder. They get the link and are shown as sharing on the file but they can't gain access without a password. This is not a condition that I have set? This whole experience has been a bit of a nightmare, if I were techie then I have the feeling I would understand the advice and could solve the issue, but nothing seems written in plain english for a lay person!
Sharepoint 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 PagesHow to improve performance of SPFx application?
Hello Everyone, We have created SPFx + React application. We have used the SPFx 1.21.1 version. We have used different npm packages into this project. The project works as expected functionally. We have checked the performance of the application using Lighthouse in Google Chrome. We found the below performance matrix from Lighthouse. We need to improve the performance of our SPFx application. Can anyone suggest the correct path to achieve the same? Thanks in Advance.Validation rule for postal code is being ignored
In the SharePoint list, there is a column “Country” and a column “Postal Code.” A validation rule has been configured in the list validation settings to ensure that when the country “Germany” is selected, only postal codes with exactly 5 digits can be saved. Currently, this validation rule is being completely ignored. Regardless of whether the postal code contains fewer, more, or no digits at all, the entry can always be saved. The validation does not take effect. Expected Behavior: When Germany is selected in the Country field, the entry should only be saved if the postal code contains exactly 5 numeric characters. If the input is invalid, an appropriate error message should appear and prevent saving. Actual Behavior: The validation rule is ignored. All inputs — including invalid postal codes — are saved. No error message is displayed. Impact: Incorrect or incomplete data is stored in the list. Manual corrections are required afterward, causing additional effort and increasing the risk of errors. The english version of formule we used =IF([Land]="Deutschland", IF(LEN([Postleitzahl])=5, 1, 0)) Why doesn't the validation work? Thank you in advance for your comments !
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 users
