Display Profile Properties in Table Style I would like to show you, how you can display profile properties in a table. For example this would allow you to generate a telephone directory from your profile data. Briefly this would be done in two steps: indexing your profile properties and displaying them with a People Results Web Part. Let's start creating a managed property. Every property you would like to display on the list, must be crawled by the index and mapped to a managed property. Creating a managed property On the SSP admin site, go to the "User profile and property" page, select "View Profile Properties" and select the profile property, you want to display. You could also create new properties. Make sure that the checkbox "Indexed" is selected. Repeat this set for every property. Do a full crawl of the SSP/MySite content source (usually the "Local Office SharePoint Server sites")... and wait until it is com...

This post is a copy from other post, it was published only for my reference!!!!1 InfoPath - Get the current user without writing code I've just read IP team blog post about getting the current user's details using Web Services. Actually the exact same result can be achieved without writing any code. It's a very common thing to do and I couldn't find any guide for that, so here it is: * If you are already familiar with this, this post might still be useful. I have included the complete set of default properties get returned and their proper naming syntax at the bottom. * This works at InfoPath as well as InfoPath Forms Services. *Clayton Cobb has a great follow up post if you to take the this a step further. With InfoPath opened go to Tools > Data Connections , and click 'add...' to add a new data connection to the form. This opens up the Data Connection Wizard. We want to receive data from the WS about the current user, so choose receive data' a...

This article was taken from  After having read all sorts of articles online on how to get Adobe Acrobat and SharePoint to work together, I think I have finally found the right combination of actions. The first step that most people are familiar with is the addition of a mapping in the DOCICON.xml file. For those who aren’t the steps are: 1.        Edit DOCICON.XML a.        Path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML\DOCICON.XML 2.        Add an entry to support PDF files. a.        <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.gif" EditText="Adobe Acrobat" OpenControl="SharePoint.OpenDocuments" /> Please note the second part of the entry EditText="Adobe Acrobat" OpenControl="SharePoint.OpenDocuments"  which is critical to achieving the Edit in functionality This step will provide a nice link that allows users to ed...

SharePoint list views by grouping data in calculated columns Category:  Lists and Libraries The reason is simple: the initial display of the list view is smaller, and the user controls what to display by clicking a Plus/Minus button to expand/collapse a specific group of data. Generally speaking on the Web, the less data displayed, the faster it displays. Furthermore, clicking the Plus/Minus button does not refresh the entire page; it only loads the subset of data that is needed onto the current page. The grouping part is straightforward. Create a view, edit the view, and then change this section of the Edit View form, which is fairly self-explanatory.   Here's what each additional view -- with one group level expanded -- looks like. The "By Last Name" view The "By Birth Month" view The "By Service Level" view Finally, here's how each view was defined in the Edit View form. View Columns and Order Sort Group...
