• Bo Yu can't create workflow - sharepoint designer 2007

  I'm testing out WSS3 & sharepoint designer. I want to create some custom workflows, but everytime I try to create on I get an error box "Failed to load the workflow". Any guesses as to what the problem is and how to fix it It did work for me out of the box, do you perhaps have a beta version of the .net 3 framework running So it just works for everyone else out of the box ....

Is there any way I can turn on detailed logging for SPD 2007 to capture more informati ...Show All

• Harish.A documents per view

  Hi,   I have a webpart that shows me the nr of documents of a library that have a certain view. The user can enter a certain view, wicht exists for that library, and then it shows the # of documents that view has. If the view has a filter, and it shows 2 of the 3 documents of the library, then i want my result only 2. Now I can only make this happen if the user selects this view as the Current View, but I want this result also when the user has not selected this view as current. So what I actually try to achieve is when, in Sharepoint, you go to your Document Library, and choose on a certain view, i want the list of the documents that are in that view. Here's my code so far, does anybody have a clue Thanks in adva ...Show All

• David Veeneman Is CSF essentially an ESB?

Our users may see different set of data depending on their position. The Asia manager isn't allowed to see New York data for instance.

• michael447887 KPI Filter - Set Default Value

  I've got a dashboard setup in Sharepoint 2007 that uses a KPI List built from SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services. I've also got a filter tied to the KPI web part on my dashboard page. The filter works fine when I select values and apply the settings, but I would like to set the default value on the filter to always be two items from the available list. When I select them as filter items, the filter text box shows "nre; nrm" as the filter text and the data is filtered correctly, but when I enter "nre; nrm" as the default value, the filter returns a "The default value specified is not valid" error message. If I only use one value or the other (e.g. "nre" or "nrm" only) the default value ...Show All
