Am totally new to WorkFlows in SharePoint 2010. I know the question could be too basic. but please help me sorting this out.
I have SharePoint 2010 web application have Groups: Presenters and Approvers. Presenters need to submit presentation slides and Approvers approves/rejects it. I have a document library to which the presentations are uploaded. When a presenter uploads a presentation, an email notification has to be sent to the Approvers group. The Approvers review the presentation and approves/rejects the presentation, an email is sent to the presenter notifying the Approver's response.
Via SharePoint Designer 2010, you can easily attach a approval workflow (OOB) to your document library.
Your wf will handle action based on Document library item value.
If the item value (field Approbation status) equal Approved => send mail ok to presenter
If the item value (field Approbation status) equal Rejected => send mail ko to presenter
etc...

I have couple of doubts regarding Outlook addIns.
I created a ribbon for Outlook application using VSTO.
While sending the mail i call some API and make some db entries.
I keep the mail in inbox even after i sent the mail.
Now i need an option to change the color of that message subject (like indication this is already send. eg : unread mail subject is in bold )
Is there any way that i can achieve this ?
The ribbon i created is showing under Add-ins menu.
i wated to show this in Home itself.
I tried tab idMso="TabHome", TabMail etc but its not working (i am using office 2010)
You would need to modify the view setting based on some condition - look at an existing Outlook views that bold the unread messages and display overdue messages in red.
I want to customize the appointment window used in Outlook. I want add few custom fields. I am using VSTO (VS2013) to develop this addin.
So far I have added a button in ribbon of appointment tab. On click of which I am opening a new form with custom fields. Now when user completes the form and other appointment details and appointment is saved then along with all appointment data, custom data entered by user should also get emailed to recipients.
And also that custom data would be stored in Exchange, and later that data can be queries to generate report.
So my question is - how do override the save appointment event so that I can add additional data in appointment and also how do I save it to exchange online using office 365.
Please advise.
Thanks.
When you are using an Exchange account which is the case with Office 365. The UserProperties of an Outlook item is kept in Exchange.
You can persist the custom data in UserProperties
If you want to Save your custom data when the appoitment is saved. You should put an event handler in the AfterWrite event. See AppointmentItem event list.
I have been searching the web for a way to do this but no such luck. My goal is to save a meeting agenda template into an email signature which would be inserted into every meeting invite created by me.
Looking for some clues on how to do this?
Outlook 2010 and newer include the form designer.
File -> Options -> Customize Ribbon, then, in the Right Side pane, click to turn on the Developer Tab.
From there you can design Meeting Request template to your specification.
Then, to use it, you will select:
New -> Meeting Request Using -> (Your Custom Template) from the Outlook Home tab.
You can handle the ItemSend event of the Application class where you can check out the message class of the outcoming Outlook item and change the message body if required.

I need to create alerts to group/all employees in my site.To my site home page basing on the data pushed into "custome list" by administrator in moss 2010 intranet site.So can any one suggest steps to acheive this.Hoping quick replys...
Create a simple workflow using SharePoint designer and send out alerts/notification emails to the users in the group when something happens in your list (like a costume worth more than 100 bucks is entered etc..). You can trigger this notifications workflow in many scenarios.
See this link.
Check out this video on how to create workflows using designer.
Having said that, if you need a pop-up or a message box to appear when a user visits the site (and ofcourse when something changed on your list) then you have to write code in the load event of the page/any web part on the page to display popup. SharePoint 2010 has Javascript API which makes it easy for you to display pop-up or you can do this totally in the code.
I have an event reciever feature on my SharePoint 2010 site where it runs when a survey is completed or is about to be deleted or updated. When I save my site as site template, the event reciever feature is activate before I perform the save. Now when I create a subsite using the site template that I just created, I notice my event reciever feature is called because I have code in the ItemUpdating event that displays an error message telling users that they can not edit a survey response, this message appears when I try to create the new subsite. Should I deactivate the feature before I save the site template?
Yes. The template will also contain the definition of event receivers that are registered when you save the template. If you deactivate your feature you remove those event receiver registrations, and so your template won't contain those receiver registrations.
It's one of the awkward things about creating site templates in 2010 - you've gott pay attention to what features are active.
