Using content types to modify the NewForm.aspx and EditForm.aspx pages | Sarah Haase. June 2012 blog post update: I’ve received quite a few SharePoint 2010 questions regarding this solution, so I’ve added SP2010 setup instructions. For you MOSS 2007 users, don’t worry! The old MOSS setup instructions are still included at the tail end of the post. When I was at the Best Practices Conference in La Jolla a couple of weeks ago, I taught a session on successfully deploying SharePoint lists.

While we looked at a wide variety of tips and tricks and list implementation examples, the attendees were really intrigued by a content type solution I’d implemented to quickly/easily modify NewForm and EditForm ASPX pages. I promised them a blog post on the solution–here it is. Business scenario: We use a SharePoint list to store help desk support requests. So what are our basic requirements for this solution? Solution: I could modify my OOB NewForm.aspx and EditForm.aspx pages to achieve these results.

Here’s the basic building blocks of this solution: Part 1: Create your new content types. Create Auto-Increment number column in SharePoint List. Hi Everyone, This is a common problem faced by lot of guys who has a little programming knowledge. I am going to explain a simple way to crate a auto-increment number column in a custom list without programming. Every time insert an item to the list this will add a unique auto-increment number to column to track the record. Start out by creating a new column in the SharePoint list you want to have the auto-increment number in. This must be a number column.

Name this whatever you like. The list that i'm using is " Help Desk Tickets" and my column is "Ticket No" Then create a custom list with any name you want. Counter list has 4 columns Title, Counter, Last Number, Next Number. After creating the Counter list I am going to add a new item to the list. Remember Last Number should be the number BEFORE the one you want to start on. OK. Give a name to the workflow. Before we start writing the workflow I will create a local variable. Click OK. Lets write the workflow. 1. 2. 4. Then click "OK". Page Viewer Web Part - details versus icon view - Sharepoint Forum. Sharepointology. SharePoint Social - Social SharePoint #socbiz.

Follow her @EllenvanAken After my earlier rant about people who want to secure their content for no good reason, I thought I would give some suggestions for alternative ways to hide content when it makes sense. First let me stress that I recognize that some content is sensitive and really needs to be secured. But there is also a lot of content which is not confidential, but which you still may want to hide, to avoid information overload in general. Specific reasons may be: The content is only relevant to a certain audience You do not want people to influence each other You want to allow people to focus on their own content, e.g. in projects or tasks lists Next to giving permissions there are two other ways to hide content that I know of, but I will be happy to learn new ways!
