I am using Active Directory Import rather than the user profile service and I am migrating a few forms over from 2010 and I am unable to get the data connections working so that username, email and data are filled in automatically. I presume this is because I am not using the service but is there a way to get this working on an InfoPath form using AD Import?

SharePoint 2013 and multiple parameters in a single webpart connection - is it possible?

≫ Next: how to open an url in sharepoint 2013 workflow?

≪ Previous: Auto populate InfoPath form with user data using Active Driectory Import

Hi!

Since WSS 3.0, we have used custom webparts and webpart connections to build customer solutions. A connection between two webparts can contain multiple parameters, which was fully supported in WSS 3.0, and the configuration of the connections could be made in the standard web SharePoint web ui.

(Specifically, our providing webparts expose the IWebPartRow interface and our consuming webparts expose the IWebPartParameters interface. SharePoint will automatically inject a RowToParametersTransformer)

When we upgraded to SharePoint 2010, the web ui for connecting web parts this way was no longer available. Instead, we had to use SharePoint Designer 2010 to accomplish this. A little clumsier but still possible.

In SharePoint Designer 2013, configuring the webpart connections is no longer possible, since the Design View is gone. So, we can't use the web ui nor the SharePoint designer.

This has led me to believe that we have to build our own web ui to allow configuring the connections.

But (here is finally, my question) before we start doing this:

Are we missing something? Is there no other way than building or own UI for this? (I've started looking into it, and it doesn't look easy...)

Hi All,

I have used "Assign a task" action in our list workflow which is created using SharePoint Designer 2013. Approver is getting an email which has task url. But when approver clicks on the link, it is opening the task disp form rather than opening an edit form(Which has approved,rejected buttons). I would like to know whether this is the default behaviour. If so, what should I do for opening the edit form(Approval form) directly from the mail.

Any help is highly appreciated.

InfoPath 2013 browser form - a secondary data source loads the list rows that will be updated on an 'On After Change Event'. The code only changes the value of 'Status' in every row where that value was changed.

unable to publish from SharePoint Designer 2013 to a SharePoint Online site

≫ Next: Sharepoint 2013 + customize person.aspx for MySites

≪ Previous: InfoPath - update existing SharePoint List item using SharePoint Object Model

I am unable to publish from SharePoint Designer 2013 to a SharePoint Online site. I get the following workflow error in Designer 2013 when compiling a workflow to be published to a SharePoint Online site.

Microsoft.Workflow.Client.ActivityValidationException: Workflow XAML failed validation due to the following errors:
Cannot set unknown member 'WaitForItemEvent.RelatedItemIntId'. HTTP headers received from the server - ActivityId: 316587de-34c2-45cd-afd7-7bb074c17720. NodeId: . Scope: .

Through researching the error, I found that the solution can be fixed by re-registering WF service on an on-premise installation. However, I do not have access to re-register WF because it is a SharePoint Online site.

1. I am using the Office 365 upgraded version.

2. It is an issue with a 2013 workflow I created in SharePoint Designer 2013.

3. I only receive the error when action 'Wait for Event in List Item' is included in the workflow. However, I am able to publish workflows that do not have 'Wait for Event in List Item' in the workflow,

4. Previously, I was able to publish workflows that included the action 'Wait for Event in List Item'. I am not able to now.

I did find the blog that suggested a solution but I haven't found any documentation about how to fix the error I am receiving in SharePoint Online.

Other things I have tried...

1. I have created a different workflow with the action 'Wait for Event in List Item'. I receive the same error.

2. I have created a different SharePoint Online site and a new workflow with the action 'Wait for Event in List Item'. I receive the same error.

3. I have tried using a different computers to publish a workflow the action 'Wait for Event in List Item'. I receive the same error.

4. I have simplified the workflow so the action 'Wait for Event in List Item' is the only line of code. I receive the same error.

Please, I hope you can help!

In the custom form the People Picker looks like the old control in SP 2010

Is there a way to use the SP 2013 People Picker in the Custom asp form?
