I have seen this come up twice within the last few months on the MSDN forums, so I thought I’d write a note about it. My problem was with SharePoint Designer 2007;a few years ago, but the issue seems to present in SharePoint Designer 2010 also. Problem: Modifications to a workflow in SharePoint Designer (SPD) […]

Came across this again today at a client site. They had an InfoPath form published to a form library, but they were not promoting all of the data collected in the form out to the SharePoint library as columns. Since they wanted to do some reporting on the data in the forms, I promoted the […]

- Comments Off on SharePoint Designer Workflow Will Not Move Actions
Ran into a problem again that I’ve run into before. Sometimes, in a SharePoint Designer workflow, you cannot move actions up or down. The command is active in the action menu, but it does not respond when you choose it. This has happened to me before, and I have always had to recreate the step […]

SharePoint 2010 Team Sites are wikis with all the familiar team site default lists and libraries. The home page of a Team Site is Home.aspx making the URL for a Team Site something like http://server/TeamSite/SitePages/Home.aspx.

Documents created in Office store details, called properties, about the file (a descriptive title, the author name, the subject, keywords) that identify important information.
