BPA and Error Handling in InfoPath 2010 Forms

BPA and Error Handling in InfoPath 2010 Forms

Business Process Automation (BPA) with SharePoint and InfoPath includes subtle caveats such as “Error Handling” when warning users of application errors when a field needs to be populated.   Microsoft has placed some defaults within the application that are a bit obscure and sometimes inconsistent with the actual error that is occurring.  In this very brief post, I wanted to give you the idea of creating a new warning by using rules in an InfoPath 2010 form without using the default Microsoft message error message. 

Scenario:  Typically, when a form is created  in InfoPath, many of the fields may be mandatory or required to be populated.  The problem occurs when the message provided is not complete or informative enough for the users to understand what steps need to be taken.  The typical message resembles the following:

Fig 1.0

 

Some of my associates in the SharePoint realm have used and set policies for organizations using rules to make messages more consistent for all SharePoint developers. Instead of providing error messages like the above, create rules that will display messages that are relevant to the given field of error. In the following example both the “Title” and the “Company” are mandatory fields.

Fig 2.0

 

If these fields are not populated then the user will receive error messages like the following:

Fig 3.0

 

By Adding rules to the submit button the default error message in InfoPath 2010 can be avoided.

Example of Rules that were applied:

By limiting your user group's exposure to erronious error messages, there will be less user frustration, and they will be more likely to embrace the benefits of your solution.

SharePoint Regional Settings - IF your created date is showing wongly then you can follow this

The regional settings page is used to configure culture-specific information such as locale, sort order, time zone, calendar type etc. There are two types of regional settings: User Regional Settings andSite Regional Settings.

#1. User Regional Settings

These settings only affect your own account. Individual users can either use the default regional settings that are set on a specific site or set their own regional settings. This ability makes it easier for users who are in different countries or regions to collaborate on documents that are in the same SharePoint site, regardless of what region an user is working from.  Here are the steps to set your regional settings:

1. Open web browser, navigate to SharePoint site, click on dropdown of your account and click the “My Settings” menu as shown in the figure below
     
2. On the “User Information” page, click the link “My Regional Settings”

   

3. The user regional settings page will be opened as shown in the figure below. In order to enable your own regional settings. Un-check the “Always follow web settings” checkbox.

   

Note: Sort order can only be set at site level, all other settings can be set for individual users.

You can access Regional settings directly from the URL, just type http://<server>/_layout/regionalsetng.aspx  in the web browser’s address bar.

#2. Site Regional Settings

These settings affect the current site or site collection. Here are the steps to set the site regional settings:

1. Open a web browser such as Internet explorer, navigate to a SharePoint site, click on “Site Actions” and then select “Site Settings”

   

2. Site Settings will open as shown in the figure below then. Click “Regional settings” under “Site Administration”.

    
3. The regional settings is shown in the figure below. You can then set or change any of these settings.
   

You can access Regional settings directly from the URL, just type http://<server>/_layout/regionalsetng.aspx  in the web browser’s address bar.

 

Alternate Calendar

There are many calendar types in the world besides the Gregorian calendar. What if you want to know the date in another calendar type? Alternate Calendar gives the option of displaying two calendar types in one view! You can enable Alternate Calendar in SharePoint by navigating to the regional settings (Site Actions > Site Settings > Regional Settings) and set Alternate Calendar to the desired calendar type.

For Example in the figure below, Calendar type is Gregorian and Alternate Calendar type will be set to Hijri

 

Navigate to the Calendar view of the Calendar list. As you see below, with Hijriselected as the Alternate Calendar, the date display shows the Hijri date on the right on each day in ().

 

NOTE:  The alternate calendar appears only in the Calendar view.

 

Bi-Directional Layout

There are four areas in SharePoint Foundation 2010 that enable the right-to-left reading order or alignment for users of bi-directional languages such as Arabic and Hebrew. These features are List Direction, Column Direction, Web Part Direction and Direction in Multiple Lines of Text Column. For full capability of Right to left, you can install Language Pack or Full version of Arabic or Hebrew.

NOTE:

#1. List Direction

This allows users to set the layout or reading order of list in SharePoint Foundation 2010. In order to enable this feature in English or non Bi-directional version, you need to set Locale in Regional Settings to a bi-directional locale such as an Arabic orHebrew locales. After that when you navigate to the General Settings of ListSettings. A new section called ‘Direction' will be available in the General Settings ofList Settings (Click List in Ribbon menu > List Settings > Title, description and navigation) as shown the figure below.

 
List will now be displayed in the Right-to-Left reading order.
 

#2. Column Direction

This allows users to set reading order of a column in SharePoint. In order to enable this feature in English or non Bi-directional version, you need to set the Locale in theRegional Settings to a locale with Bi-directionality, such as Arabic or Hebrew. After that when you create new column. You will get Direction settings in Additional Column Settings section of column (Click List in Ribbon menu > List Settings > click your column) as shown the figure below

 
The column will have right-to-left reading order, as shown the figure below.
 
NOTE: The Locale in the User Regional Settings doesn’t apply to List and Column direction options.

#3. Web Part Direction

This allows users to set layout of the Web part to left-to-right or right-to-left. The default value is None, which indicates that the layout of the Web part will inherit from the site (Language of the site). To access the direction option of the Web Part, click Site Actions > Edit Page, click down arrow of the Web part and select Edit Web Part.
 
The Web Part property dialog will show up. Expand the Layout section, there is aDirection dropdown which user can set to None, Left-to-right and Right-to-left. ClickApply. For example: The figure below, the Web part layout is set to Right-to-left.The Title of the Web Part is moved to the right side.
 

#4. Direction in Multiple Lines of Text Column

Page direction allows users to set the reading order of the content within Multiple lines of text column which is using Rich Text Edit (RTE) control (Set “Specify the type of text to allow:” option to either Rich text or Enhanced rich text). The default page direction will follow the main page layout, based on the display language of the site. The RTE control has the reading order icons which are shown in the figure (A) and (B)

"An unexpected error has occurred" when clicking on Choose Picture button in Edit User Profile within Central Admin

1. One thing the guide doesn't mention is to note your Preferred Search Center URL which in my case is http://intranet/search/pages.
Go to Application Management > Manage Service Applications > User Profile Service > Setup My Sites
Enter this URL under "Preferred Search Center".

2. Run IISRESET /noforce

3. Go back to User Profile Service in step 3, and click "Start Profile Synchronization" and then a full sync.

4. At this point you should be able to click on Choose Picture without getting that cryptic error.

An unexpected error has occurred when trying to create an Enterprise Search Center in SharePoint 2010

I thought I’m getting crazy with the above meaningless error message.
I tried to create an Enterprise Search Center within a site collection in SharePoint 2010. But I’ve received this error message all the time. I’ve also tried to create a new site collection, but without success.

Suddenly I had the idea to try it with SharePoint Designer. And voila, I’ve got an error message I can work with.

So the next step was to enable the Publishing Infrastructure feature. Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Site collection features -> SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure and click on “Activate“
After this step you can also create the Enterprise Search Center without any error messages
