I have a SharePoint2010 list which contains around 15 lookup columns. I have created a view in which all 15 are present. When I try to open that view I get the following message:
This view cannot be displayed because
the number of lookup and workflow
status columns it contains exceeds the
threshold (8) enforced by the
administrator.
Is there a way to remove or change this limitation? Thanks.
I've discovered that this limitation is not a limitation, but a setting - and it can be altered! Go to Central Administration and then browse to:
Application Management > Manage Web Application.
In the Web Application list, select the web application you need.
Then go to General Settings > Resource Throttling.
In the Resource Throttling window, scroll down to List View Lookup Threshold and change the value to the number that suits your needs.
Of course, increasing this value degrades the performance, as there's more drilling through SQL tables, so be careful not to go too far. And one more thing: changing this value not only affects the list views, but it also changes the behavior of the methods that work with list items. E.g. having this option set to 8 will result in returning a maximum number of 8 lookup fields for a list item, when the GetListItems(query); method is called (Client Object Model). Increasing this number to, say 15, would consequently increase the maximum number of returned lookup fields for a list item. Pretty neat!
You're right, Boris. Though, everyone, keep in mind that this setting cannot be changed in SharePoint 365/Online.
That's true Boris, but keep in mind that increasing this threshold will impact the performance heavily

We have an issue with a calculation field not always working. (We have about 5 calculation fields that are similar so same applies to all).
See in the attached example.
The Textbook item has a calc field 'Set Text'. One of the values in there is showing 'Null'.
Most of the time this works fine but in about 8% of the cases it has this null error.
See the other screenshot of the Aggregator item. The field that is being referenced there is correct.
To fix it we have to manually remove the relationship between the two items and then put it back again, to force the calculation to recalculate. This fixes the issue. So the problem does not seem to be the formula but rather the calculation being performed incorrectly.
The Aggregator items are created and joined to the Textbook item through the API.
This is a big issue for us as we use this value to post to our website so the manual fix is not a practical solution.
Podio support please advice what the issue is here
Aggregator
Null error
Without knowing too many details about your specific workflow and structure, let me offer some ideas:
Podio calculation fields can begin to act in strange ways if the original field is being referenced by calculation fields too many levels deep. What I mean by this is that if the original field that shows the Paper Code (or whatever that int showing null is) is being referenced through too many calculation fields, it can begin to cause problems in cases of updating and adding new items. This is most definitely a bug I've encountered with large-scale systems, but there are workarounds.
First off, I see that you have all of the pertinent non-concatenated fields at the bottom of your Aggregator app. Try manually concatenating those fields in the Textbooks app (where you're doing the result.push) instead of referencing the Web course text calc field exclusively.
If that doesn't work and you're proficient with the API, a longer workaround could be that after the automation runs, you wait a sufficient time (say 30 seconds) until the calculation field updates, have the API check for the text "null" in the calculation field, and refreshes the relationship fields if null is found.
I have infopath form with SharePoint designer approval workflow.
I am showing some details on that form. but when I have more data in SharePoint List it is giving bellow error
"The amount of data that was returned by a data connection has exceeded the maximum limit that was configured by the server administrator"
I guess Infopath form is getting all the data from the list instead of particular row. can any one please suggest me to filter on current item ?
Resolution: Ensure to follow the below steps.
i. Open the central administration
ii. Go to General Application Settings
iii. InfoPath Form Services
iv. Configure InfoPath Form Services
v. Click on Data Connection Response Size
vi. By default it is 1500 kilobytes
vii. Change the Response Size in kilobytes (Increase the number).
In this case what can be happening is that the amount of data you’re pulling back in your queries has grown to an unmanageable size.
Another possibility is that you’re including additional columns that perhaps you don’t actually need to include – by removing the unnecessary fields this could immediately resolve your issue if you don’t require all the columns.
For office 365 this one going to work.

I'm beating a dead horse here, but I still haven't found the answer I am looking for. I am throwing together an Access Database that deals with lockout procedures for our various machines at work. I have a continuous form setup so that it dynamically populates based on various complex/machine criteria. Since only portions of the machines need to be locked out at a given time, it is necessary to select the various devices from the list that was populated dynamically. When users select the various devices that they wish to lockout, they will then be able to automatically print tags for the selected devices. Which is where the unbound checkbox conundrum comes in... Yay!!!
Since it is possible for multiple users to be using the database at a given time, I don't believe that binding the checkbox to a yes/no selection within my table is the correct path to take. This is due to the fact that having multiple users picking various devices would result in additional/unnecessary tags being printed out to each user. I know that it's possible to have an unbound checkbox within a continuous form, but I have not come across any sample code that has this functionality.
If there is another path that I can take, please offer any suggestions as I am an Access novice, and am open to new ideas.
EDIT
I should mention that the database will reside within Citrix. I am not sure if this affect anything, but its worth mentioning at least.
I am assuming that you are using a client server setting, where the application file resides on a local machine. (Or on a local instance in the case of RDP / Citrix)
In that case, you can have a local table to save the checkbox information without causing any conflicts between users.
You will be using a bound checkbox, so problem solved.
I'm upgrade my sp 2007 to sp 2010 and I have a form library has more then 5000 items.
Default view of form library filter items and show only 10-20 item to users.
After upgrade sp2010 All users get below error when going to form library expect site collection admins.
I think this is a permission issue but i did not find any source to solve this issue, have any idea ?
This view cannot
be displayed because it exceeds the
list view threshold (5000 items)
enforced by the administrator.
To view items, try selecting another view or creating a new view.
If you do not have sufficient
permissions to create views for this
list, ask your administrator to modify
the view so that it conforms to the
list view threshold.
You can increase the List View Threshold beyond the 5,000 default, but it is highly recommended that you don't, as it has performance implications. The recommended fix is to add an index to the field or fields used in the query (usually the ID field for a list or the Title field for a library).
When there is an index, that is used to retrieve the item(s); when there is no index the whole list is opened for a scan (and therefore hits the threshold). You create the index on the List (or Library) settings page.
This article is a good overview: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-foundation-help/manage-lists-and-libraries-with-many-items-HA010377496.aspx
The setting for the list throttle
Open the SharePoint Central
Administration,
go to Application
Management --> Manage Web
Applications
Click to select the web application that hosts your list (eg. SharePoint - 80)
At the Ribbon, select the General Settings and select Resource Throttling
Then, you can see the 5000 List View Threshold limit and you can edit the value you want.
Click OK to save it.

I am writing an application in VB.NET 2008 that manages software deployment and I want to display a "deployment overview" grid.
The grid will be populated with the names of each application (top row) and the name of each workstation (1st column). The remaining cells will be populated according to whether the corresponding software title has been installed correctly, install failed OR not deployed.
What would be the best way to present this information to the end-user? Could the application 'cope' with maybe a thousand check boxes or would it be better to 'owner-draw' a grid in some way?
I may also require the ability to click on any of these cells to view and/or set other properties.
Many thanks for your help.

I have used the .NET's GridDataView without any problems using the Virtual Mode while trying to show over 10000 rows but there are good products out there that are also very good in loading tons of data like Developer express XtraGrid and Telerik's RadGridView.
The only challenge was keep the UAT people happy with all the noise from several thousands of rows.
