Multiple Upload Page - Assign metadata

1. Create an override for the upload page

2. Do forget to call base.OnLoad(e) in your overriden OnLoad page

3. Set this.ConfirmationURL parameter to absolute path of a custom layouts page in the overriden upload page Onload method.

4. Call the overriden upload page using a custom action on the list and pass the same url parameters that SP passes to an OOTB Multiple file upload page

5. On the new custom page, collect user input and using ListItem.SystemUpdate(false) to set the required metadata fields. Once the metadata is set, navigate back to list default view.

Backup/Restore vs Import/Export

Backup restore should not be used when we suspect that there is a db corruption and we should be using import/export.

On creation of new seq workflow using vs 2008 - references not linked

system.workflow.activities, .componentmodel, .runtime are missing.

Solution :
Always remember to create wspbuilder + workflow based project
Change target framerwork to 3.0

Good to go.!

Workflow for Access

Task:
Assign permissions based on field values, i.e. ColumnName: Person name; Value: Semicoln seperated user names; PermissionValue: Contribute
Each item gets permission based on the above field values.

Idea 1:
Create eventhandler

Idea 2
Use workflow.
Association data - List of fields
- Permission values
Workflow get initiated every time an item is updated or added.
Uses association data and toggles permissions on the item.
