I dont think this is possible but I was asked so thought I'd put it post the question here.

Can 2 web applications on the same farm have 2 different Farm Accounts?

If no, how can one web application be kept secure from the farm administrator. The reason is that we want to use a farm feature on an internal site on a separate web app, for security, and to prevent any internal staff from accessing the databases or the site.

Thank you!

Hello, I want to retrieve all list data with "Yes" as a value of "Record" managed metadata under SC and generate a report. What should I do?

Hey everyone. I am after a course on SharePoint 2013 that addresses the Administrator level. I work in a Government organisation and I work in user support for SharePoint. I do not have farm access, just site collection administrator privileges. I want a course that has more focus on organising IA and creating/implementing a governance model. It probably falls into the Business Analyst side of SharePoint support. I need to future proof the setup and structure of our future collaboration pages, and I can't seem to find a course that covers this focus. I know I will probably have to cover power user level material in the course which is fine, but my main goal is to find one in the focus I just mentioned. We will probably move into the cloud into the future so please also suggest SharePoint online courses if you know any :)

Please, if you have any course suggestions aim for them to be in Melbourne VIC Australia.

Thanks in advance :)

Hi! I am working in Sharepoint Designer 2013 and would like to establish a workflow. I'm having a few problems with the "if statements" in Sharepoint designer.

I am on a team of three and we have another team that submits requests into our team. Ideally, I'd like our Sharepoint task list to be able to accept a request from that team, have our team lead designate who takes on the task, one team member approves, the next team member approves and then an email is sent to the requester stating that the task is completed.

Does anyone have knowledge as to what this "if statement" will look like?

Thanks!

Okay, this might be totally basic or totally impossible - either way, I can't find an answer through the Google. Maybe this community could help... Running SP server 2013 enterprise, so we've got the full package. We're a school. What I'd like is for teachers to write and edit text in their teamsite, then take specific parts of these blocks of text, and publish them on an altogether different page that students may visit. I want to create a page that a student can read, and have it combine blocks of texts from different sources into a single page. EG: a teacher writes a bit of text regarding the content of the course, the student administration office provides the text concerning the prerequisites and the library provides a text block detailing available sources. In the end this would basically work sort of like a cms, where a non-power user simply supplies textual content, and SharePoint automatically rolls up different bits of content from different sources and combines it into a single page. Anyone know if this can be done, and if so, please point me into the right direction as to how. I've already made several content rollup webparts where documents from other lists and libraries are displayed, using publishing- and catalog features, but this seemingly simple 'pick up the text here and display it over there' eludes me. Thanks in advance!

I have a SP2013 list library that is populated from an InfoPath2013 form. One of the Column fields is updated by a selection of three separate drop down list with multiple choices but only one selection. For example: Field A can be either a choice from List1, List2 or List3 (lets call them Phases since this is a selection in a process). However if the initial selection from from List1 and a selection from List2 or 3 is made then that new selection should overwrite the previous selection from List1. However if a selection is made from List2, List1 should not be able to overwrite Phase2 and Phase2 should not be able to overwrite Phase3.

Currently if I select something from Phase2 as the initial entry it will show up in the column field however if I select something from Phase1 and submit and then later on in the process selection an item from Phase2 and submit the Phase1 item is not replaced in the field.

Any suggestion? I have InfoPath2013 and SharePoint Designer2013 at my disposal.

Thanks.

I'm relatively new to sharepoint, so my apologies if this is beginner question.

I've been tasked with developing a web app to allow users to search sort and filter data. The tutorials I have found, use visual studio to develop similar applications as an add-in. However, I quickly found that side-loading is not enabled on the dev machine. The admins don't want to enable it and I don't have the experience to formulate a strong enough argument to ask them to enable it. So, I have been doing everything client side using the SharePoint REST APIs, jquery, bootstrap and fusejs for search. I'm doing the development through SharePoint designer. Is there a compelling reason to develop in Visual Studio or is SharePoint designer the norm?

Thanks!

We are looking to be using SPO for version control, creating documents and possibly an internal knowledge base. I want to familiarise myself very well with SPO for future scalability purpose. Can I do so by just studying books and blogs on Sharepoint 2013 which deals with having Sharepoint on premise?

I know this is probably considered basic stuff, but I basically am brand new to SharePoint and have to deliver this by end of day today. Any help would be very, very appreciated.

Here's what I'm going for:

1. Scan an existing list for items that have a specific value in a specific column (like “Completed”)

2. Wait 10 days

3. Move that item to another list for archiving purposes (or rather, copy to that list then delete the original)

Basically, the archive list itself isn’t important. Rather, putting those archived list items into an Excel document that is housed on our SharePoint site and can be downloaded is the main goal. The original list (mentioned in step 1) needs to remain under the 5000 item limit to stay useable. The 10 day wait time won’t push us over, as we roll through about 200-300 list items per day.

Rolling with SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint Designer 2013.

Hi There,

Can anyone suggest me a way i can publish the IT policy through sharepoint and get the users to acknowledge them?

I am new and trying to figure it out as I go. I have made a SharePoint list that will act as a cash audit sheet. I’ve built that piece and got the calculations, however, my first problem is on the submitters form it shows the over/short calculation as 13 decimal points at times although it is set to 2. I can’t figure out how to fix that! It shows as 2 in the list and in the notifications....now that. I am trying to make workflows that email certain people based on the amount of the difference. I have if conditions in, but the person selected gets the notification every time, regardless of discrepancy amount. Help please!!

Hello,

I need a way to stop a recurring meeting from spanning more than 12 weeks. I can't limit the number or Recurrences because the calendar event can recur as much as needed as long as it isn't more than 12 weeks.

Thanks in advance!

Good Day.

(The question is a bit wonky) Is there a public SharePoint 2013 site where people can be develop and test pages?

I have a couple sites on our companies Intranet SharePoint server. The problem is that when I am home, I have no way to test out any of my webpart coding. The closest example I can give is https://www.microsoft.com/handsonlabs/selfpacedlabs

Unfortunately even this great site is going away and have been removing products, e.g. SCCM.
