I need to create an auto-increment field with a standard amount of digits. The format needs to be like this T000001, T000002, T000003, ......T000010, etc (7 Digits). When it gets to the 10th record it should not do this T0000010 (8 digits). I tried using the popular, often referenced solution (link below). This method does not work as I hoped. If you put it in a format like this T1000, when it gets to the 10th item it does this T100010 rather than T10010. Here is the popular solution I already tried: https://www.epmpartners.com.au/blog/how-to-create-an-auto-incrementing-number-field-in-a-sharepoint-list/Solved338KViews1like26CommentsCustom/Vanity domain name/URL for Sharepoint Online

I can't find the documentation for this, but I think it's a relatively new feature. I want my Word/Excel/PowerPoint online files to open in view mode instead of edit mode. When you open an Office Online file, the URL is like this [site collection]/_layouts/15/Doc.aspx?sourcedoc=[source location]&action=default&mobileredirect=true&DefaultItemOpen=1. The three paramtersare action, mobileredirect, and DefaultItemOpen. Does anyone know how to change the action parameter so that its value is "view" instead of "default"? Is this set at the tenant level, or site collection and/or library level?113KViews6likes21CommentsSave list as template on modern team site
Wonder if anyone can advise how I can create a list in a modern sharepoint team site from a template that I saved from a classic team site. I don't see any option from within powershell settings. I have been getting my head around all the various sharepoint resources and have been creating lists etc on my classic team site for now but our users are starting to use the modern team sites created from Office 365 groups and I really would like to have them use some of the list templates I've created. Any help appreciated.107KViews1like27CommentsConfigure modern search results to search all of your organization (rather than the current site)
Hey everyone, We heard from many of you the need to be able to change the scope of your modern search results pages. When you create a new communication site or team site in SharePoint Online today, and type into the search box, you are taken to the modern search results page. This page shows results from your current site by default, and allows you to expand the scope of your search to the hub that the current site is associated with (if there is one), or to the whole organization. But there is a desire for being able to change the behavior to always search over the whole organization, or across the hub a site is associated with, without needing an additional click, especially if the site in question will be used as a modern landing page for your organization. I'm happy to say that with the latest version of the SharePoint PnP PowerShell extensions, it is possible to run a simple command as the site owner, and make your site use the organization, or the hub scope by default. To change this setting: 1. Start PowerShell in administrator mode as you will be installing the PnP extensions. 2. Run the following commands to in this order: PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Install-Module SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline # If you previously had installed this module, you may need to use the "-Force" parameter to install the newer version. PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://contosodemosg.sharepoint.com/sites/Strategy -UseWebLogin # this will prompt you to sign into your site. Use the site owner credentials to sign in PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $web = Get-PnPWeb PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $web.SearchScope = 1 # 1 for Tenant, 2 for Hub, 3 for Site, 0 for default behavior PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $web.Update() PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Invoke-PnPQuery After running these commands, the site will start to show results from the whole organization. To go back to the default setting, run the commands again with the value provided to "SearchScope" parameter to 0. To search across the Hub, use 2 as the SearchScope value. We will be providing a way to set this setting using the UI in a future release as well. Updated in April 2020 to reflect the ability to search across Hubs.Solved102KViews21likes77CommentsCompany Word templates available for anyone in the organization
Hello, Situation explained: A lot of companies use custom Word templates to facilitate their company branding and and create a uniform layout for their Word documents. These Word template files usualy reside on a normal ReadOnly file share, and are accessible for all users in the company. Now, with Covid-19, most users are working from home, and the normal fileshare is not available. The Word templates cannot be used. So, a clever solution is needed. SharePoint template might be the answer. I tried, if it is possible to publish a set of Word templates in SharePoint, company wide. This seems a hard nut to crack, and not much information seems to be available with best practices how to solve this challenge. What is the limitation I faced so far Publishing company Word templates on a SharePoint Site is possible when storing the company template Word file as *.docx into the SharePoint TeamSite. Depending on the setting chosen, Word Online or local Word opens this template file in the correct company layout. So far, so good. When it comes to saving this file, the default behaviour is that MS Word (Online or Local) wants to save the new document to the same SharePoint TeamSite it was opened from. This behaviour is not desirable when working with company templates. The default save location should point to the users OneDrive folder, or the TeamSharePoint location the user belongs to. MS-Word should never take the decision to store the file in the same location as the company Word templates. This behaviour can result in a cluttering of documents from multiple teams. A document created by a board member, should never be stored in the same location as a document created by a member of the company kitchen Idealy Word (Online or Local) should ask the user where to store this new document, and suggesting OneDrive as the default location. My question: Has anyone a cunning plan to crack this nut? All suggestions are welcome. Thanks for your help.Solved97KViews2likes18Comments
