Some chart type combinations work better than others, so use the Preview button to see the results before saving your settings. For samples of chart types, click the Chart Type Template button below the Chart Data Configuration table.
Y-Axis Select which Y-axis to use (primary or secondary) to display series data.

Option 1

The configuration settings are found in the tool pane itself.

Option 2

The settings are configured in a seperate popup window that is accessed from the Web Part Settings button in the tool pane. Web_Part _Settings_Button.pngIf your web part uses this option keep the following in mind:

  • Popup Blocker settings must be turned off to allow access to the Web part settings window
  • You can enable Asynchronous Page Load so the page loads before the web part finishes rendering
  • Some web parts will give you the option of displaying Web part errors in the user interface by checking Show Errors in Web Part. Administrators may choose to uncheck this box as many errors do not prevent the web part from working and may prompt additional helpdesk tickets.

The associated popup Settings configuration screens allow you to navigate the settings from the left hand Navigation pane, and configure the corresponding settings on the right in the Configuration pane. As you configure the elements in the Configuration Pane, be sure to click SAVE before moving to the next configuration screen.

How to Change Your Password

How to Change Your Password

After the web part is installed and configured, users can then change their account passwords.

HW06_WebPart_2013.jpgTo use Password Change, enter the required information in the fields described below.

Step Action
1. The Password Policy section displays the text that your administrator has configured in the General Settings section of the Web Part Settings window. It describes the user account password policies created by your server administrator.
2.

The Domain field allows you to see and configure the domain name of the server where your account information is stored. This field is automatically filled in with the domain that you are currently logged into.

NOTE: This field may have been configured as hidden or view only by your server administrator to prevent inexperienced users from entering the incorrect domain.

3.

The Account field allows you to enter or change the account name that you want to change the password for. This field is automatically filled in with the account name that is currently logged in.

NOTE: This field may have been configured as hidden or view only by your server administrator to prevent inexperienced users from entering the incorrect user name.

4.

Enter your current password in the Old Password field to authenticate your identity.

  • After entering your old password, enter your chosen password in the New Password field.
5.

If the Password Strength Meter is displayed in the Web Part, it appears directly beneath the New Password field. The meter displays how strong your password is by filling in the gray bars and indicating the strength of the password by text, for example “Weak”.

Note: The Password Strength Meter displays password strength based on a fixed algorithm that cannot be edited. Passwords that conform to your password policy may not necessarily be considered “Strong”.

6. Once you have entered a strong password, re-type it into the Confirm New Password field. Make sure the password you enter in this field exactly matches the one you entered in the New Password field.
7.

Once you have filled in these fields, you can click the Change Password button to change your password. To clear all fields and start the procedure again, click the Clear button. After successfully changing your password, the system will display a message to notify you of the change and to prompt you to close your browser for applying the changes.

Note: Password Change will refresh the page. To prevent the loss of unsaved data, Password Change is often used on its own page, although this is not required.

Call Web Service

Call Web Service

The Call Web Service widget allows a workflow to call a SOAP Web service and store the XML response from the service in a workflow variable.

You can also use this widget to create custom calls to SOAP Web services. Note: This feature is intended for advanced users who fully understand and have permission to edit the target Web service.

Widget Properties:

Column Description
Web Service Method (Required)

This property opens a form that allows you to define the connection and properties for the Web service. The properties below can be defined on this form:

  • URL: Enter the URL of a SOAP Web service.
  • Username/Password: If the SOAP Web service requires a login to access any or all methods, enter it here. Any login information you enter is stored with the widget and used any time the workflow runs.
  • Web Service Method: After you enter a URL, click the Get Methods button to retrieve a list of methods the Web service supports. Select a method for the widget to use.
  • Services: Select Call SOAP Service to request data using available methods published by the Web service, or select Edit SOAP Service to build your own XML request to submit to the Web service.
  • Call SOAP Service: A list of parameters required by the Web service is displayed. Enter any required values, either explicitly or by using a lookup. You can test the XML response for explicit values by clicking the Test button at the bottom of the form.

    NOTE: The Test function will not work for lookup values, since lookups are performed only when the workflow runs.

  • Edit SOAP Service: Enter a Content type, SOAP Action, and XML SOAP Request to send to the Web service. The SOAP Action you enter may override any Web Service Method you selected.
  • Filter Result XML Tags: By default, the widget returns the entire XML response from the Web service. If you want to return only a specific tag within the response, enter a tag or list of tags in this field. If you enter a list of tags, the contents of the last tag in the list is returned.
Save To Variable (Required) Select a workflow variable with a Text data type to store the results from the Web service call. Create variables in the Workflow Settings tab in the settings pane, or click the Create new variable link next to the variable list.
Run As This widget can run with the permissions of the workflow initiator, the workflow designer, or another user. Select the option in the Run As property that best matches your requirement. For more information, see the Common Widget Properties topic.

CAML Criteria Builder

CAML Criteria Builder

Overview of Alert Plus Event Tab

When configuring the Event tab in Alert Plus, you have a choice regarding which items in the List will generate an alert for you. That choice gives you a variety of options to choose:

  • Everything in the list generates an alert
  • Items in a particular view will generate an alert
  • Some Items (Advanced) allows you full control over the set of items in the Alert List that generate alerts. In order to specify which items to alert on, you will build a CAML Query that will be used to filter the list.

The easiest way to build a CAML Query is to use the Criteria Builder Tool on the Alert Plus Event tab. This tool provides a simple user interface to construct filter criteria and save it to the CAML Query field. This filtering capability allows you to specifically target your alert on items with specific List field values. Once you get familiar with it, the CAML Query builder is fairly simple and straightforward. The Criteria Builder resides at the bottom of the page. You simply pick the criteria based on content in a field.

As an example, consider an alert sent when the Author field is equal Mark Twain:

Step Action Result
1. Choose from a drop down list of all the columns in the list; in our case, we selected Author Equals.png

Some content may not be labeled in identical ways; some may enter “Twain, Mark” or some may use “Mark Twain” so in this instance, we prefer to use the comparison “Contains” and eliminate extraneous values so that the query finds anything in the author column that contains “Twain”.
Contains.png

2. Choose the Comparison operation.
3. Type in the Value; in this example, Mark Twain.
But we want to set an alert on multiple values; for example, whenever a document contains one value or another.
4. In our example, we want to pick on the Author column again, but in this instance choose Twain or Dickens. AndOr.png
When selecting the Or option, a second level on the Criteria Builder becomes available so we can further define our selection criteria.
5. Once we have built our criteria, we use the button at the bottom of the web part to copy our criteria into the CAML Query box. Copy2.png
CAMLQuery.png
When you look closely at that string inside the CAML Query box, you can make out some of the choices we made in the criteria builder. Notice the statement is referencing the Author column, the value is Text and the words that we typed into the Value box are spelled out “Twain” “Dickens.”

The above example is a very simple way of explaining the Alert Plus Criteria Builder. Developers and power users can become very proficient in writing CAML Queries and Bamboo provides this option to give you quite a lot of control over setting alert criteria.

Building a Workflow

Building a Workflow

Before building a workflow, make sure you are familiar with the Conductor Studio interface by reading Getting Started with Conductor Studio. All of the actions referenced in the list below are described in that section. Once you understand how Conductor Studio works, the rest is easy:

Step Action Result
1. Start with the end in mind. It may be helpful to draw it out on paper or a whiteboard so that you can make sure to capture all the steps in your business process so that you know what you want to accomplish throughout the workflow.
2. In the list or library where you want the workflow to run, start Conductor Studio by clicking on the Create button in the List or Library tab of the Tools ribbon. If you want to build a site workflow, you can start Conductor Studio from any list in the site.

sa08_2010startstudio.jpg

NOTE: If you are using Simple Publishing to deploy workflows and you want to create a workflow that is available to any list or library in the entire site collection, you must start Conductor Studio from a list or library in the top-level site in the site collection. To build a site workflow, start Studio from any list in the site. Workflows deployed using Solution Deployment are always available to any site in the site collection no matter where they are created.

3. On the Workflow Settings tab in the settings pane, give your workflow a Title and Description. Select the desired workflow Start Option (does not apply to site workflows).

Make sure to click Apply to save the workflow settings.

sa08WFSettingsWFName.jpg

Icon-Warning Warning: If you do not enter a Title, you will get an error message when you attempt to deploy the workflow.
4. Configure any workflow variables and workflow initialization form fields required for your workflow.
sa08WFSettingsFormsVariables.jpg
Icon-Tip Workflow variables and form fields can be configured and updated at any time.
5. Drag widgets from the widget pane and arrange them in the workflow diagram pane according to your workflow requirements. For a description of available widgets, see About Workflow Widgets.
SA08_2010DragWidget.jpg
6. Set the required properties for each widget in the workflow on the Widget Properties tab in the settings pane. Make sure to click Apply after configuring the properties for each widget.
sa08SetApprovalStatusApply.jpg
7. When you are finished, click Save in the Conductor Studio ribbon to save the workflow. See Workflow Conductor Templates for more information about saving workflow templates.
sa08_2010_2_5_SaveAs.jpg

Icon-Tip If you do not save your workflow here, you will be prompted to save it when you deploy.
8. In the Conductor Studio ribbon, click the publishing option that applies to your workflow. Publishing a workflow automatically associates it to the list, library, or site.

sa08_2010StudioMenuDeploy.jpg

  • If Workflow Conductor is configured to use the Solution Deployment method, Deploy will be the only option.
  • If Workflow Conductor is configured to use the Simple Publishing method, you may see options to publish the workflow to the list, site, site collection, or as a site workflow, depending on the options configured.

    Click the option that best fits the scope of the workflow.

    sa08_2010StudioMenuSimplePublish.jpg

  • For the Simple Publishing options Publish to Site and Publish to Site Collection, you will be prompted for additional settings for list and content type association.

  • The default settings will automatically associate the workflow to the list where you started Conductor Studio and will make it available to all content types in the list.

For more information about deployment methods and workflow scopes, see About Workflow Deployment.

9. Your workflow is now available in the list or library where you started Conductor Studio. sa08_2010StartWFfromItemMenu.jpgDepending on the Start Option you selected for the workflow, it can be started manually using the Workflows option for an item (as shown here), or will start automatically when an item is created, changed, or published.

You can also start workflows manually from the Tools ribbon or from the item properties:

sa08_2010StartWFfromRibbon.jpg

Site workflows are started from the All Site Content page. Automatic start options do not apply to site workflows.
sa08_2010_StartSiteWorkflow.jpg

3. Choose a Category. Your post will automatically be displayed in the appropriate category on the blog site page.
4. In the Published field, enter a date when your post should be published to the blog site. Your post will not be visible on the blog site until the Published date and time.
5. When you are finished with your post, click Save as Draft or Publish. Published posts will be visible in the blog site at the Published date and time. Draft posts will not be visible. See the information below for more information.

Save Blog Post as Draft and Publish

When you create or edit a blog post, you will have the option to Save as Draft, Publish, or both.

Save as Draft:

  • Clicking Save as Draft saves the post but does not publish it to the blog site, even if the Published field date and time is reached.
  • Use Save as Draft if you want to submit your blog post for approval or if you want to continue editing it later.
  • Save as Draft is the only option available if you do not have permission to approve content for the blog site. A Moderator must review your post before it can be published.
  • Save as Draft is NOT available if content approval is disabled.

    Publish:

  • Clicking Publish saves the post and publishes it to the blog site as soon as the Published field date and time is reached (or immediately, if it has passed). No one else needs to approve the content.

  • Use Publish only if you are finished editing your post and are ready for it to be read by the community.
  • The Publish option is only available if you have permission to approve content for the blog site or if content approval is disabled.

See Configuring Blog Posts Content Approval for more information about disabling content approval for a blog site.

Best Practices for Using Video Library with a File Share Library

Best Practices for Using Video Library with a File Share Library

Return to Storing Media in a Bamboo File Share Library Overview

Following is a list of best practices for using Video Library with a File Share Library.

End Users:

  • Add, delete, and update media files from the Video Library.
  • Do not update files in the File Share Library.
  • Avoid updating files directly in the network file share. If you do, be aware that changes will not be visible in the Video Library until the next scheduled File Share Library synchronization.

Site Admin:

  • Configure the File Share Library to copy files to the network file share when new items are added. If you add files only to the File Share Library, you lose the advantage of using an external file system to store your media files.

System Admins:

  • Enable support for large files in your Web application so you can upload files larger than the SharePoint default of 50 MB without affecting your other SharePoint libraries.

Before using List Print

Before using List Print

After installing the List Print on your SharePoint farm, you will need to activate the Bamboo List Print Site Collection feature before you can use it on any site of the collection.

As part of the installation process, you may have automatically deployed List Print to one or more web applications on your farm, but it is not possible to automatically activate a feature on individual Site Collections in the web application (check this).

For List Print, there is just one Site Collection feature to activate at the Site Collection level. There are no Site Features.

Do I need to activate this feature? If you do not activate this feature, you will not see the Print List option on the List Ribbon (or the Actions… menu if using WSSv3/MOSS) on any list or library in sites of the site collection.
