Then set up your display form on the container list to format itself the way you want (use SPD to create new dispform.aspx). If you engineer the fields correctly this could work I think... </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/incoming-email-to-list-in-wss#post-7000 Sat, 23 May 2009 11:26:37 +0000 NancyCentury 7000@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>You must enable as a fearture in Central Admin. </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/display-item-on-a-calendar-without-start-time#post-6999 Sat, 23 May 2009 11:25:00 +0000 NancyCentury 6999@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>I want to "disable" the time portion of the Start time/End times also- but in Current Events view in the web part. We show the next 5 events and as Faceman stated- it takes up space and makes the web part too wide. </p> <p>It would be better if you could choose "start date" and "end date" so that only the date portion displayed. Sometimes the time is not needed or is irrelevant. I wish the new item form allowed the "date only" option as is present in other list types. But with the Calendar you are tied to the date/time format. </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/custom-list-import-spreadsheet#post-6998 Sat, 23 May 2009 11:17:02 +0000 NancyCentury 6998@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>What if you take the content you imported and copy/paste it into a new Tasks list to leverage the built-in Assign to action that already does what you want (and maybe more)? </p> <p>Open both lists in datasheet view and copy/paste accordingly assuming your field names match.

SharePoint has to index content before it will show up in search. The index process is running on its own in the background. It wakes up periodically, looks for new content added since the last time it ran, indexes that new content and then goes to sleep. That's called an incremental crawl and that's why you see the 3 minute interval. Your indexer is probably crawling content every 5 minutes or so (which is a common incremental crawl period).</p> <p>This is to say that when you upload a document, sharepoint doens't index it right away. That background process has to wake up and do its job before search will be aware of the document.</p> <p>Does that explain what you're seeing? </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/difference-between-2-dates-excluding-weekends#post-6966 Fri, 22 May 2009 09:27:19 +0000 ihmunro 6966@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>Hi Dessie</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>I changed the formula to the Start Time and End Time as per the Calendar Fields to:</p> <p>=(DATEDIF([Start Time],[End Time],"d"))-INT(DATEDIF([Start Time],[End Time],"d")/7)*2-IF((WEEKDAY([Start Time])-WEEKDAY([Start Time]))&lt;0,2,0)</p> <p>This works good for days during the week, but the weekend is still wrong.</p> <p>The count between 4/17 and 4/20 is 4 days, whereas it should be 2 days.</p> <p>Any ideas?</p> <p>Iain </p> http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/wiki-list-or-site#post-6965 Fri, 22 May 2009 08:49:07 +0000 Eric Truchon 6965@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>See this EndUser : <a href="http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/best-way-to-create-a-wikipedia-type-site-or-page" rel="nofollow">http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/best-way-to-create-a-wikipedia-type-site-or-page</a></p> <p>Eric </p>
