I'm struggling to figure out how to calculate the path length of a file in SharePoint. I understand that the maximum is 400 characters. However, I'm not sure what goes toward that number, or whether characters are encoded or decoded.Solved21Views0likes0CommentsSharePoint List - item visible but clicking on it does not open it in popup (similar to edit screen)
-this is a sharepoint online site (which gets created when we make ms teams channel) -there is mutliple list and libraries inside this sharepoint site -there is a list lets call that 'abc' list - it has approx 15 -20 columns- text, number, url, lookup , (nothing fancy, content types not there, just imagine a business user setup this list to put in some process relatged info..they are NOT sp advanced user ) -there are around 15 list items (yes very less items!) -approx 3-4 days ago he created those items in the list and when he click on the item (by clicking on title) it used to open in the default sharepoint pop up - this list has not more than 30 users with some has full control, some has read, some has edit-- mostly these permission are coming from sharpoint inherited groups , and list is still inheriting permission (active useres who contribute and view content in this list are just 3-4 people) -now the PROBLEM is when he click on the title to view items , nothing happens , no popup opens ---fixes we tried-- restart laptop -swithch browsers (tried on chrome and edge) currently using edge. removed this user from sharepoint site (he was residing in multiple groups), we removed him from every grp and deleted few grps as well now when we 'check' in the sharepoint permission-> it showed this user has 'none' permission then we granted him 'full control' again he was able to see items but cannot 'open' item, or 'add' is also not working for him he is however able to do 'quick edit' and enter new values we did hard refresh etc. we checked the default forms in list settings> form settings- it is default to sharepoint form (NOT power apps) we did other due deligence, but nothing seems to work for handful of people, however for other set of people the list is working as expected46Views1like4Comments- 27Views0likes1Comment
How to grant access to SharePoint subsite with no Owners
Hello! Can someone advise how I can add a user to a SharePoint site with no Owners/Members or Admins? It is a Classic SharePoint subsite so I cannot modify any settings using the SharePoint Admin Centre so I need to find a script or a method of some sort to allow me to add a user account to the site to then be able to review it/decommission it etc.? TIA!Solved71Views1like2CommentsSharePoint Card Designer Custom Fields Not Available - Choice Fields
Hello, I have multiple columns in the list that are set to be a "Choice" field. When I switched the list view to "Gallery," I noticed that a few of my choice fields did not show up on the gallery/card view. I checked the card designer, and those columns are not even included in the options to be displayed in the gallery/card view. The only way to see those fields is to click on the card and open the right-side panel on the screen. Is there a way to include/show my custom choice column field in the card view?5.6KViews0likes5CommentsClassic SharePoint list view redirecting to home page
Hello! I have an old Classic SharePoint site that I need to create a new view in a list for. I have created this view but whenever I go to open that view it redirects me to the homepage. This site was build by someone else and I believe this is by design to stop users from using admin only views....but how do I stop this for my new view? I need some users to be able to use it. When I create a personal view it does not do this redirect. Any ideas how I can stop it happening on a public view? Or will I need each of my users who need a new view to set up personal views of their own?49Views0likes1CommentNot able to edit items in list due to too many versions.
I have a sharepoint list and some of the items cannot be edited because of the number of versions. I have the versioning set at 50, but some of these uneditable items somehow got up to over 10,000. Any ideas on how to resolve or how they got so high? Thanks89Views1like1CommentTwo global navigation bars?
On the top of any page, I have the top navigation (Using Managed Navigation). But there is also another navigation bar directly below this one (which add a link for 'help') on some of the subsites, libraries, lists, etc. I am pulling out my hair trying to figure out where this is coming from and how to get rid of this. Can anyone help me, please?Solved202Views1like3CommentsMicrosoft Lists
Just been looking into Lists in SharePoint and find its great how you can make it look and function great, very pleasing to use. I like how you can have version history on items too and also if someone did delete the list you can restore it. But what if you want to restore if from backup, what if someone deletes a column. I use AvePoint backup and it doesn't show the list as a list when i restore. It just shows a spreadsheet. I cannot then paste the spreadsheet into an empty list because some fields like People and multiple choice do not format correctly from the spreadsheet back into a list. Is it just AvePoint or are there solutions to backup Microsoft Lists and restore them as a list. I cannot see going forward with lists if you cannot restore from backup. Thanks204Views0likes5Comments
