SharePoint 2010 inline list editing

Michal Pisarek — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 20:36:50 PDT

In line list editing is another cool new feature that can be offered to your users in order to speed up data entry. The most accurate description is that its kind of like the next evolution of the datasheet view except its a little more user friendly to use but doesn’t offer the ability to edit multiple records at one time.

In order to enable in line editing, which isn’t enabled on lists by default, firstly modify the default view by going to List Tools -> List -> Modify View

Modify View

Then expand the Inline Editing option and select the ‘Allow inline editing‘ checkbox, then press OK to save the changes to the current view

Inline Editing

Now you have a new little icon on the far left side of the list view as shown below, click on it and you can see the inline editing experience which is pretty cool actually!

Inline editing in action

You can see that you have access to drop downs, text fielsd and related links. Unfortunately for calendar controls looks like you can only enter in a text date and that you can’t have links to look up lists but I am sure that this might change in the RTM version.

Automatically emailing users when a new item is added

Michal Pisarek — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 15:22:10 PDT

When adding a new item with a customized list through InfoPath 2010 you can specify that an email it sent at the same time that an entry is added to a list. This can be really useful in situations where you need to inform other users of certain actions.

To do this then simply choose the ‘customize form‘ option for the list item so that InfoPath 2010 client opens.

Once InfoPath 2010 opens click on Data and then Email in the Submit Locations section as seen below:

Customize Form

Then click on ‘Add‘ -> ‘Submit Data‘ -> ‘As an email message‘

Configuration Steps

Then you can select the email message parameters, then you can specify what you would like the email to contain – The form as a attachment or only an active view of the form.

Connection Configuration

With these steps now when we submit data to the form an email will also be sent, cool!

WESPCSK:Web Applications vs Site Collections vs Sites

Michal Pisarek — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 19:53:26 PST

Another thing that Every SharePoint Consultant Should Know (WESPCSK) is some of the specific settings and the scopes that they are applied to. Now this will help in requirements gathering, architecting and general discussions. So below is my list of settings and the general scope that they are applied to which can be of interest.

Web Application Specific Settings and Offerings

Recycle Bin: How long items are deleted from user bins and Second Stage recycle bin size.
Maximum Upload Size: The maximum file size for all content within sites that reside in the Web Application.
Authentication Provider: Specify the authentication that will be used
Define Managed Paths: Managed paths can be defined per web application only.
Enable Self Service Site Creation: Enable SSSC is only available at the web application level.
Blocked File Types: This is once again done per Web Application

Site Collection Specific Settings and Offerings

Recycle Bin: Dedicated Recycle Bin for the site collection
Dedicated usage reports: Usage reports work on the site collection level.
Dedicated Administration: Site Collection Administrators
Search Configuration: Configurable search scopes, keywords and best bets
Galleries: Galleries for libraries, images and styles
Site Quota templates: Unforunately all sites within a site collection contribute to the quota.
Dedicated Database: Very important! Each SC can be housed in its own database which makes it very useful in a disaster recovery scenario

Site Specific Settings and Offerings

Site Features: Features that are scoped to a particular site
Permissions: Site specific permissions
Themes: A theme is site specific

There are many more in this list that I will continue to add as I dig further in this…

Placing the ECB Menu on any item field in SharePoint 2010

Michal Pisarek — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 21:56:32 PST

One thing that always annoyed was that the context menu in list items in SharePoint 2007 was on the title field or alternatively you had to put in an ‘Edit’ button.

Well no more in SharePoint 2010 as now you can easily customise a view to show the ECB on any field within a list.

1) Within any list click on Library (or List) -> Modify View -> Modify in SharePoint Designer (Advanced). This will open the list up in

Modify in SPD Option

2) For any field wait until you see the little < icon and then select the appropriate option from the men.

Common xsl options

Show List Item Menu: This will attach the context menu to the list item

Show Link To Item: This will take the user to the DispForm.aspx for the item.
