Moving Files from a Shared Drive to a SharePoint site
Hi, I've seen the moving of files from a Shared Drive to a SharePoint site can be tricky, depending on the size of the files that are to be moved. What is the best and most effective way to move folder, files. I'm not sure yet of the number of folders and size of the files that will need to be moved? Can anyone provide an advise on this, please.. Regards ChrisCan move SharePoint list items to folders in a list, but not back to root of list with Move To
Does anybody know if this is by decision or bug..? I created a SharePoint list for inventory and created 2 folders for private items (unique permissions on folders) to hide list items at certain times of the year. I tried to move them back OUT of the folder to the root of the list, but it does not allow me to do so. See screenshot on the bottom shows Move Here button is disabled on root of list.. attached is screenshot only when in folders.. My workaround would be to create another folder called public and inherit permissions from a list, set all views to show No Folders and move from private to public, but thought I 'should' be able to move back out to root of list...
Column Visibility based on previous people column
We've setup persistent approvals for travel requests using a Power Automate flow (not the built-in workflow), so the approved status is not lost if/when the list item is edited. We have a choice column for Approval Request allowing "Draft" and "Submitted". Just need a control to prevent saving the list item as "Submitted" if there is no selection in the Approver (people) column. As you know, we can't use a people column to evaluate conditional visibility on the list form... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/list-form-conditional-show-hide And we've tried JSON formatting with a 'helper' column to show if an approver has been assigned or not: { "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json", "elmType": "div", "txtContent": "=if(length([$Approver]) > 0, 'Assigned', 'Unassigned')" } But this doesn't set a value in the column so cannot be used for list validation settings. To reduce complexity, we're trying to do this without using a Power Apps form and conditional visibility... but maybe it's not possible? Already found this help redirecting to Power Apps... https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/sharepoint_general/column-visibility-based-on-previous-multi-choice-column/3987360 Any alternative suggestions are welcomed. Thanks!
SharePoint - Filter stacking
SharePoint list with a Link to Documents (hyperlink) column. When you click the link, it should open to the library where these documents are stored based on the associated ID for the record with all the documents that have that "Document ID", in this case 5550. /AllItems.aspx?FilterField1=ABC_ID&FilterValue1=5550&FilterType1=Text This field is a Hyperlink field The item opens in the library where the documents are all being stored, but is showing an additional filter value (sometimes, it will show three additional values) for example, it will show 5550, 5596, 2208 (all random each time). Is it caching old searched filters? When I go to the library and clear all filters and then filter from the All documents on the 5550, I get all my documents back no problem. I compared the URL with the broken filter to the URL from the all documents filter and they are the exact same Why would this be happening? What is breaking the filter and adding or stacking additional filters to the requested link. Any help to fix this would be appreciated.
How to hide the Modify this view and Create View as per users available in groups
Hi All, I have classic view of SharePoint in list/libraries. I have group(for Managers). I just want want to show and hide the Create View/Modify View/Modify this view depends on users available in group. If user available in group(for Managers) then they can do anything like Create View/Modify View/Modify this view but if user is not a part of the group(for Managers) then they can not modify any Public views but the can create Personal view. Is there any way how I can achieve this functionality?
Planner and SharePoint task list
I’m exploring the use of SharePoint Task Lists alongside Planner. Is there a way to interlink these today, or is Planner expected to support SharePoint task lists more natively in the future? Also, with Planner Agent in the picture, how can these be more aligned and interlinked or even more centralized with SP.SharePoint Announcements items' body don't save the complete URL of links
I am working on a Power Automate flow to replace the SharePoint Alert feature (which will be retired in July 2026) to send a notification when new items are added to an Announcements list. The flow is working fine, but the links I added to the item's body is partial. The messages sent via Power Automate using Exchange connector replicates this error, so when the recipient receives the message, it looks ok, but the links are broken, because it has only "/sites/finance/home.aspx", not the whole URL (https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/finance/home.aspx). I'm using the classic interface, and even when I enter the full URL, as soon as I move away from the URL field, it changes to a partial, relative URL (/sites/finance/home.aspx, without the first part "https://company.sharepoint.com/"). Note: when I receive the exact same content via SharePoint Alert feature, the links work perfectly. Somehow, the Alert feature replaces the relative path with the whole URL. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks, Luciano Gomes
Trying to use Lists as a very basic CRM but having search issues
Hey All, I have a small business I'm considering using Lists to track some very basic client info and build a client database that is accessible to all employees on the company SharePoint site (we use MS 365). Workflow would be something like: Client calls in Receptionist(s) answer If new client, create an entry with first/last name, phone #, email address, their spouse's name (if any) and a Notes section to jot down notes from the call. If current client, receptionist can use search to find client, make new notes, read previous notes, etc That is basically it. I have this set up in Lists right now as a test with just two clients, each with a spouse. When I do a search for the person's name (Bill or Franklin), it returns a result. When I search for their spouses name (Susan), it returns nothing. I've run through the settings, reindexed the list, etc, and I just can't get a simple search to work. Am I attempting to use this correctly? Both name columns are single line fields. TYIA for any input!
