Timeline disappears from All Tasks view

$
0
0

I synched a Microsoft Project schedule to my sharepoint site. The tasks show up. But the timeline disappears. The page renders and initially leaves a space for the timeline at the top. But then the space collapses and no timeline shows. I am speculating here, but I wonder if it has to do with the years long length of my project... it can't render the necessary timescale then fails?

I've done this before and it usually works great. But on some sites, that space collapses after a few seconds and no timeline ever appears. Just to clarify, I definitely have the checkbox selected to show the timeline view, I am in All Tasks, and I have selected items to appear in the timeline. 

Any help you can provide would be helpful.

Sharing not working

$

Hi,

I'm trying to say to a customer to use Teams or SharePoint Online to share some media files for his business... but it just seems really buggy when it comes to sharing, so far he doesn't want to use it because it just doesn't work as it's supposed to.  He's now wanting to pay for Dropbox but I just feel he should be able to use the MS products he is paying for.

The requirement is:

- allow edit access for some internal staff
- be able to share a folder or files with external users

Simple right?  You would think Teams or SharePoint is the perfect solution seeing as they use Office 365, but here are the issues:

First I tried creating a SharePoint site... all the settings were default, versioning on but no check in should be required.  He drags lots of files into a folder, but noone with Edit permission can see them as they haven't been checked in.. but the settings are definitely set so this shouldn't happen.  So I tried using teams to create and now it works!  Yay... but in both scenarios the external sharing just doesn't work.

- Share a folder, with a specified external user (view / edit doesn't matter)
- External user gets an email, logs in, gets sent a code, enters code, site attempts to load and says 'You need permission to access this item.'  With an option to request...
- now we go round in circles... if I 'request access', the owner gets an email with the access request, approves the request, gets advised the request is approved.  External user gets an email saying 'Good news. You now have access to sitename'.  BUT.. we click again on the link and get 'You need permission to access this item'...

Simple things that just don't seem to work properly!

Cheers,
Simon

Adding more than two navigation levels

Hello,

 

I am new to SharePoint.

I believe we are using SharePoint Online with Office 365.

 

Is it possible to have more than two navigation levels in menus?

 

Some people suggested to use SharePoint Designer 2013 but I can't access any sites and we are not able to change the access.

 

Can someone suggest if it's possible to achieve that, please?

Sharepoint online default search behavior

$
0
0

Searches on a sharepoint teamsite with default configurations appear to search for files only if the first part of the file name is provided in the search string. For example, a search string of "myfile" returns files starting with myfile but not those with myfile in the middle.

Is this expected behavior? Can anything be done to make sharepoint search entire file names?

Thanks.


OneDrive - Ability to 'Unsync' SharePoint using a command like odopen://

$

Hello,

We have a lot of staff movement and looking at simplify SharePoint experience for files by setting up OneDrive Sync.  

We have been using the tool in our IT team successfully and have now written a tool that in Logon Scripts would automatically setup for a staff member OneDrive Folder Sync using the odopen:// command.  The command below would sync all SharePoint Libraries (non-System) to the local user's Desktop from the IT SharePoint Site.

i.e.   SharePointSync.exe "https://ourcompany.sharepoint.com/sites/ourcompany/IT/[ALL]/"

One thing I'm interested in is Un-Sync.  Is there a command available, or an API that you can call OneDrive to UnSync a folder? I was considering whether every quarter I could run an OneDrive /reset, and then re-sync all existing folders - would this work?

Thanks

Please can I have some clarification on SharePoint Online and PowerQuery

$
0
0

Hi

I will keep this to the point.

PowerQuery with a SQL db imports 100,000s of rows in the time it takes for a SharePoint Online list to import 1000s. Why is this?

This is with a standard New Query->From SharePoint Online List->List and that's it.
It also appears that, unlike when importing a SQL db, PowerQuery first imports the entire dataset andthen filters it. This must be the case because if I change my query from the standard SharePoint connection to a OData Feed, it is much much much much faster. The only downside is that I need to, for a month's data, combine three queries with the dates going from the 1st-10th, 11th-20th, etc. to avoid the view threshold limit. Again, I can also do a VBA connection to the list and it is much faster, so again it must be that the PowerQuery for SharePoint Online is incredibly inefficient. This causes issues because I won't have this freedom of VBA etc. with Power BI as I do with Excel.

So could a professional please give an answer to this?

Hi guys, 

My app one day suddenly stopped working.  I am trying to republish the app but still getting the same problem. "error":"invalid_client","error_description":"AADSTS7000215: Invalid client secret is provided.

Steps taken.

  • Removed old app, deleted the app form developer site coll, deleted form recycle bin.
  • Generated new app, created a new secret and ID , updated the web.config, republished the app to Azure. 
  • updated the web app configuration setting with new secret and id. 
  • Changed the version in app manifest , uploaded the app to developer site testing apps and deployed to the sub web. 
  • I cannot get the app working, no matter how many times i regenerated the client ID and secret and update. 
  • My IDs are as follows

Client Id:  4a8ec193-2e41-4d70-bb22-a5061dcbb44c
Client Secret:  hceOsCaWdCDP2TlE1K78UWpJdlpWikBTVSaj8Y+EXLg=

Online research leads no where, except asking to convert the + and = in the config and app config. When i  do that i get base 64 conversion error. 

Did any one encounter this issues. 

Regards

site collections -basic

Hi,

What is the best practice of creating a site collection  and sub sites 

For example ,

only office365 admins can create  site collections ? 

When do we need multiple site collections  for one organization ? 

If one organizations has multiple departments , does all the department require a site collections ?

If it is not required how the security will work between multiple subsides under one site collection ?

Can we assign different administrators for different subsides 

Thanks


Managed global navigation drop downs not displaying text

$

We have a SharePoint Online site that was developed by a third party and we are now pretty much on our own to maintain it.  The response time is terrible.  My research indicates that one of the things that can effect this is using Structured Navigation on SharePoint Online.  So I am trying to switch the site to Managed Navigation with terms.  I have built the Term Group as I think it should be (this is completely new to me!).  When I change the Global Navigation from Structured to Managed and point to the correct Term Group, the global (top) navigation appears correct, but the drop down menus do not have any text in them.  They appear to be the correct size   For testing, I have added Hover text to some of the drop down entries.  This hover text is displayed when I hover on the drop down menu and the links actually work.  Any suggestions?

To add to the frustration, I have now discovered that the third levels of sub-menus display properly when their parent (2nd level) sub-menu is hovered on.

Approval Status in List no longer showing values

$

Hello,

I have a sharepoint list for a Budget Approval system, which has been working fine up until this morning.

When a new item was created, the approval column (built into SharePoint) was set to Pending, a flow was then carried out requesting approval from the selected manager, and would then set the column to Approved or Declined depending on what the manager selects.

A new item was created this morning, and for some reason, although the flow ran correctly (and all tests afterwards also run correctly), the approval status column now shows no values, a "X" next to it and highlighted red - I think this is just a graphical issue as when you filter by whats approved / pending / declined it does place the items into their correct categories.

I have tried turning the approval required setting off, and then back on to see if it would re-apply the column but it just stays the same with no values - any help would be appreciated on this as I've never seen an issue like this before.

Thanks

1. i create a new Enterprise Wiki Site Collection >> using pnp i enable theSideLoading feature.

2- Inside visual studio 2015 >> create new sharepoint add-in >> provider-hosted Add-in >> i enter the url for a test enterprise wiki site collection which have the Sideloading of apps feature enabled.enter image description here

3- Then i enabled the handle Add-in installed/uninstalled:-

enter image description here

4- Then inside the AppEventReceiver.svc i entered code as follow, and the methods implementation:-

publicSPRemoteEventResultProcessEvent(SPRemoteEventProperties properties){SPRemoteEventResult result =newSPRemoteEventResult();switch(properties.EventType){caseSPRemoteEventType.AppInstalled:HandleAppInstalled(properties);break;caseSPRemoteEventType.AppUninstalling:HandleAppUninstalling(properties);break;caseSPRemoteEventType.ItemAdded:HandleItemAdded(properties);break;}return result;}// ****** code goes here for the above methods implementation ..*****

5- For debugging the RER >> install the ngrok from https://ngrok.com/>> i run this command:-

ngrok http --host-header=rewrite 54001

where 54001 is the port for our RER, as follow:-

and i got this results inside the ngrok command windows:-

6- then i navigate to the remote event receiver service url using the ngrok generated url as follow:-

Icons in Nav Bar not displaying - O365/SharePoint Online

$

In my Office 365 > SharePoint site, the App Launcher waffle icon and the Notifications, Settings and Help icons are not showing on the Nav Bar (in IE 11).  (These icons are in the class .o365cs-topnavText and .o365cs-navMenuButton). Yesterday they were there, but today - gone.  

Also there is an icon (redacted black block below) that was set as the SharePoint Logo in Site settings. It will not go away even though the site logo has been set back to the OOTB SharePoint logo.  Actually, in the block where the logo is, it should have the text "Office 365", not a logo.

Are these missing icons and logo controlled by settings in the global O365 Admin Center?  I'm not a Global O365 Admin, so I can't see into that Admin Center.  Any ideas on how to get this Nav Bar back to square one will be greatly appreciated.
