Re: Thumbnails broken
Hi RBakker i have see the same issue. Have you found a solution? A possible solution, but not profed: Store the images in a library and copy the SharePoint file path, not the best solution, but maybe it can help you: https://support.microsoft.com/office/view-and-edit-information-about-a-file-folder-or-link-in-a-document-library-1ffa10e8-3169-4f79-8b2e-6ed2e1246f6f?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004845 Best, DaveRe: Set Default Page Template SharePoint Online?
Hi kevinallen1 i can't find any information about a change to set the default selection for page templates. The screen with the 3-dots it's a bit older, the interface now looks different and more modern, but it doesn't have the feature mentioned... Best, DaveRe: Broken SharePoint list indexes across multiple tenants
Hi Sander Simons the list view threshold is an old, familiar annoyance. The problems with views are well known, as is the fact that they can be solved with indexed columns, views and appropriate filters. I wasn't aware of the problem with the unique identifier either, but that's probably because we don't use it often in text columns. We often build search driven applications with PnP Modern Search WebParts for a larger number of elements. When the index is broken, it's also possible, microsoft support can help most of the time with any unknown actions, but it helps. Other thing is, we build solutions with Power Platform, Dataverse or logic apps with a larger number of elements. Best, DaveRe: Classic SharePoint features appearing on a Modern Site
Hi RMDUser1 in this documentation you can see, how you set the modern experience in your library/list: https://support.microsoft.com/office/switch-the-default-experience-for-lists-and-libraries-between-new-or-classic-66dac24b-4177-4775-bf50-3d267318caa9?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004845 And in this, on bottom, you can see the features that automatically switch to the classic experience: https://support.microsoft.com/office/differences-between-modern-and-classic-experiences-for-lists-and-libraries-30e1aab0-a5cc-4363-b7f2-09e2ae07d4dc?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004845 Check the articles for a modern experience. Best, DaveRe: Unable to filter embedded list
Hi bmw-hagitude i see two options 1) You can connect webparts: https://support.microsoft.com/office/connect-web-parts-in-sharepoint-b457668c-d843-4b1b-8977-a6f9228a1dec?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004845 2) You can build a little search driven application to use PnP Modern Search WebParts and filters: https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/ A global admin can install the webpart. Best, DaveRe: Renaming a folder with too many files
Hi Joe_Grover the threshold is an library "issue", no new views with filters helps in this case. Maybe you can try to rename the folder with PowerShell, like in this post: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1040685/what-powershell-script-can-rename-folders-or-files $SiteURL = "https://abc.sharepoint.com/sites/MeredithTest" $FolderURL= "lib1/a/11" $FolderNewName ="aa" $FileURL= "lib1/a/aa/Document3.docx" $NewFileName ="wenjian.docx" #Connect to PnP Online Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SiteURL -Credentials (Get-Credential) #Rename the Folder Rename-PnPFolder -Folder $FolderURL -TargetFolderName $FolderNewName #Rename the File Rename-PnPFile -SiteRelativeUrl $FileURL -TargetFileName $NewFileName -Force Best, DaveRe: File Type Version Limits
Hi Lingwisyer-2 you can set the file type version limits with PowerShell: https://learn.microsoft.com/sharepoint/set-default-org-version-limits?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004845 Set-SPOTenant ` -MajorVersionLimit 100 ` -ExpireVersionsAfterDays 30 ` -EnableAutoExpirationVersionTrim $false ` -FileTypesForVersionExpiration @("audio", "video") Best, DaveRe: Migrating large number of Nintex based SPS 2019 Workflows to SPO
Hi manojviduranga it requires a lot of preparation time, and the end of life has been known for quite some time... How will workflows be implemented in the future? If you transform all workflows to Power Automate Flow, you will need to modernize and rebuild the workflows, but you can migrate content from lists and libraries. Typical procedure in projects: inventory - Analyze all nintex workflows, Record complexity, triggers, actions mapping - Assign Nintex actions > Power Automate actions; is it possible to transform the worklows rebuild workflow Best, DaveRe: Linking documents/pictures to other sites?
Hi miikang the link permission is depends on your settings, when you use the default link setting "people with existing access" then your permissions will not be broken and the document inherits the permission from its parent. As other way you can use the Highlighted content WebPart, it's search based and the storage location is irrelevant, the user simply needs access to this file. Best, DaveRe: How to share pdf files that are linked to a ERP software system (dynamics AX/365)
Hi amu you can work with SharePoint and you have more possibilities: Share files Share folders copy files to another site/teams to work together In all variants, the permissions must be carefully considered in advance in order to find the appropriate solution. Best, DaveRe: to fix in UX lists
Hi AndreDARMEDRU the internal name will be creating with the first steps when you create a column. When you use spaces in your name, this will be showing as x0020 in your column name. Look at this Guidelines: https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/community/sharepoint-naming-guidelines?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004845 Best, Dave
